The disappointment

12 July 2012

And just as she suspected, it was all over...

Her heart sank as she found herself staring at the handwritten scribbling of a notice that read EETC Photo Shoot on the glass door.  And although she had prepped herself for the worst, she couldn't help but feel let down.  Who am I kidding?  I'd be lying if I say it is not important.  After all, it was the only affirmation to ascertain her work, especially after she was told she was "too low key".

And she received the news that she was one of the two nominees for the award.  But intuition told her that there was more to it than the two weeks delay between the confirmation email and the excited phone call she'd received from her reporting officer one evening.

And she found out, much to her dismal, that the director had plans to trade her nomination form for a shopping voucher.  A shopping voucher!  As much as she loved shopping, she found it hard to shake off her sentiment that the director had, wittingly or unwittingly, made a mockery of her work.

And as she fought off her disappointment, the new song she was humming provided much comfort...

"My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly trust in Jesus' name.

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong, in the Saviour's love

Through the storm

He is Lord, Lord of all.

When darkness seems to hid His face

I rest on His unchanging grace

In every high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil.

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong, in the Saviour's love

Through the storm

He is Lord, Lord of all.

Then He shall come with trumpet sounds

Oh, may I then in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone

faultless, stand before the throne.

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong, in the Saviour's love

Through the storm

He is Lord, Lord of all."
