Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

Time and tide wait for no man... ... It is already September. Seems like it has been like donkey months since I last write in my blog. Anyway, changed from Friendster Blog to this because there is something very wrong with that; simply deny access. Hm... ... have been busy with my studies, tests and projects. I tried to loosen up a little too. Had my fair share of breaks to catch up with closer friends and enjoy myself. Now, I have to study for my English test. I still think teaching is better. At least, there will be no homework, assignments and scary tests. I can get to be with the children and my colleagues almost daily. There seems to be tons of reading to do now that I am studying. I would still want to squeeze some time to read up on other books not related to school work. Argh... ...
Empathy. I think mine runs dry at times. Maybe because I cannot see the problem others see or that I am facing my own and there seems to be no one to offer a helping hand. Well, I guess most women (including myself) are guilty of this because we only need a listening ear and not solutions. Emotional creatures. But Jesus' never fades. Think I have to work harder to be more like him. Heehee.
Looks like everyone is getting it. Is your biggest sin running away from God in times of loneliness? Whao! Read this from Mark Geppert's book. Sets me thinking. We run to people, things, earthly love, shopping, chatting etc. BGR on the rise, again. Yet, He is always there, waiting patiently for us to return into His loving arms. Restlessness, a sign of drivenness. Are we driven by the right things?
The call is meaningless when divorced with the Caller. Heard from Pastor Benny. Listened to his CD on Work. Drifted on and off as I was listening to it on my bed. Haha. Many gems to pick up. He mentioned about PDA, acronym for Personal devotion, Divine appointment and Active obedience. Whao! Looks like we have lots to do. But work at them with all your heart, as for God and not for man. Basically, we work because it is a command from God (He works for 6 days and rested on the 7th), serves as a platform for us to reach out to others (non-believers) and is a 'testing ground' (conflicts with others; one knife sharpens another).
Just recovered from a flu. Was down with flu when school started and it is back. But I was fast. Took medicine, drank lots of water and rested for long hours. So now, I am able to jump again. Must really make it a habit to take vitamin C.
My ex-student's mother just died from a brain tomour operation gone wrong. So sad. My heart goes out to her. She is only in Primary 3. A nice and quiet gal. Not confident enough though, maybe because of the fact that both her parents are deaf and mute. I am going to visit her later. Father please comfort her and the rest of her family members.
That's all for now. Think I am faster in my typing now. Thanks to all the online forums I have to participate for the marks...
