Acting For God?
It was yesterday when i went for an audition for a docu-drama near chinatown. I was auditioning for a role, of a child who was suffering from tourette's syndrome. This syndrome is a nerve disorder that causes involuntary movements, such as constant winking of the eyes, shrugging of shoulders and strange movements, and sudden shrieks. This man is no ordinary man, as far as i know he is a man of God, and he is also an active participant of his church as he is part of his church's band. Just a day ago i had some problems at a gym, and i felt all down and out about it, whining away in my mind. But as i watched his conversation i felt somewhat relieved. Because at least God let me play basketball, at least i could do most of the things I wanted to. I am not saying he is being treated unfair but i believe God has other plans for him. He is currently a teacher teaching in the school of the disabled. I am impressed by him, to suffer from this syndrome is a very painful experience in my opinion. On the train he would inevitably receive stares and harsh remarks, in school he would often be made fun off and despised. Yet he did not give up on himself. This is not very difficult, it is IMPOSSIBLE. Thus i believe it is by God's aid, for what he is today. I do not know if I will get the role, but i believe that this could be an opportunity to bring people to God. This person is an example of God's grace and glory, by learning of this person, i believe viewers will be amazed at what he has become, and they will understand that it was through God.
