because placements are officially over! (:
love having breakfast in bed hahaha
the last placement wasnt fantastic. in fact, there are so many things i could go on&on about but its over and i passed and im done with placements! its almost surreal to know that, the next time i see someone, ill be an official physio. there are times though i still feel like i dont know much but I guess thats why we keep learning and growing! Officially got my starting date approved (: exciting times ahead!
thankful too for fellow physios that i can share how i feel and also get support from them, i guess thats one thing that im really looking forward to back home. the support and feeling comfortable where im working instead of feeling really awkward. there are places where i could get that and places where i couldnt. and that made a huge difference, really praying for good colleagues and environment when i go back!
there were a few things that ive been meaning to blog about
1. BLOOM on the topic of prayer
I really enjoyed the prayer workshop because prayer is something that I grapple with. she started off with saying how there are two ways people think
- God is sovereign so what is going to happen is going to happen anyway
- I pray in order to change God's mind
but the truth is: God is sovereign + We pray = God works.
God works through our prayer. she gave an example of how a mum might be feeding a child. and she gives him 2 pieces of chocolate, knowing that there is more in the fridge and that she will give it to him when he asks. so when he asks for it, she gave it to him. its not a perfect example but it kind of helped me understand it a bit better.
that being said, God can also give us what we do not ask for because of His grace, and in His sovereignty He chooses how we wants to answer our prayer.
there was also this point when she was asking what can we thank God for or what blessings has God showered upon us, and everyone was shouting out "spiritual answers" and she was like you know that material things are also blessings from God. and it just struck me how we always try to make ourselves out to be more spiritual than others but sometimes it limits God in a sense because as the bible says all good things come from God!
also she talked about how the heart of prayer is acknowleding that God is in control and etc
2. About time
this was a good movie! I usually dont do well with time travelling movies since i find the concept very abstract and out of the world, but this was good because I felt like there was a real moral of the story. plus i like the english accent! haha the start of the show was kind of slow and it tooked a while to pick up, but i still enjoyed it nonetheless(:
there were a few things that hit me - if we could go back in time, when would we go back to? would we have changed anything?
there are time when we go like.. i wish blablabla was different/didnt happen/etc.. but then if that one thing changes, then everything changes as well. all our experiences, the good and bad - make us into who we are today. and also how no matter how we try to avoid death, prolonging the time or etc, we have to face it eventually, let go and move on. there was also this part about how do we protect the people we love if we know the trouble looming for them. do we prevent it from happening completely, tell them/nag at them, or let them face it until they come to a conclusion and learn from it?
there was also this question about how do we get ultimate happiness? something i think, i hear/read a lot of people talk about that nowadays - how to have a happy life, how to pursue happiness - the movie talked about how it is about going through each day and enjoying the moment. the dad (i love the dad! he's so cool) asked his son to live through each day as it is without time travelling and face the challenges head on and make the mistakes instead of just going back in time each time he "Screws up" to make things perfect. and then live through the days again a second time without changing anything, and see how that feels. the second time (because he knew the outcome) - he was more able to appreciate and see what was going on around me - the people's emotions/expressions, and also to enjoy the moments much better. and that (According to the movie) is how we find happiness. it isnt about getting it all right, but about our perspective - seeing the good over the bad, taking things as they come and enjoying it.
okay! time to start packing and possibly, start revising (somewhat) for that final exam as an undergrad. yay (:
