Have you climb any mountains ?
Or climb any "mountains" of your life ?
13 Dec 08 was the opening of an annual exhibition "Mountains As Non-Mountains".
As the name suggests, it carries a poetic connotation and serves well as the theme for this exhibition . I was glad it went quite okay.
For me, it was a significant event on a personal note- I had to be the MC (emcee ) . Not a big deal , but to me it was special because 22 years ago I wouldn't have the courage to speak publicly. I am glad I got to overcome this "mountain" of my life, that is to be able to speak more comfortably in front of the crowd.
I remember 22 years ago I was in kindergarten 1 and my mum would encourage me to take part in story telling competition in my preschool. I can take part in art competitions but not story telling competition ! Oh no, the thought of story telling in front of so many people frightens me ! Immediately, I told my mum that I did not want to do that. I guess that "wish" of hers were fulfilled through my two brothers, who were more "thick -skin " and daring. I can't do it as naturally as my brother Han did when he was young then. He won the first prize ! Perhaps I was too conscious of myself then.
I guess everyone has their own strengths. I was better ( or, prefered ) in doing something quiet like drawing, art, or to tell my brothers my makeup play stories when we were at home playing together but not in the public eyes of others.
After the emceeing , I received quite a few encouraging feedbacks from others. It naturally makes me feel good and in my heart, I was very thankful to God for his grace in my life. The grace that comes from the transforming power of His love. His grace changes our bad attitudes and enables us to soar like an eagle .
