Harmony 5


Understanding is such a profound thing!
A teacher teaches, and he helps one gains understanding...

Just fiinished working on the modulations exercise on Harmony 5 ...
- Modulations ... can bring you to any key from any key of the music
- A smooth progression
- Fine relationships
- to compose

Grace - time, key, form, structure - from big picture to details - Peter Ware

Proverbs 24:33-34

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man."

it was hard to admit that I was wrong

it was hard to admit that I was wrong

teaching method
my organization ...
my carelessness ...

it was way harder than I thought to honestly admit that I was wrong

I rehearse Jesus' prayer since I learn it from Kaarina:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

but rehearsing, admitting I was wrong on the surface was much easier than genuinely confessing

But now I can face it.

yesterday:
accumulated problems when I did not prepare well when I teach
generally not preparing for things
late arriving at DMBC yesterday
my set priority & judgement
time management

When I was messaging Sansan this afternoon, I thought that's because I cannot do what I am challenged to do. And there is no solution to it. I only realize later on tonight, that it's something else that is blocking me from focusing and working! I hope I'll remember this.

*genuinely confessing*

my MSN:
Grace - 面對困難! - it was way harder than I thought to genuinely confess, but now I can face it
