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

Had my first taste of rock climbing and laser quest. I did archery once donkey years ago. So, it is pretty refreshing to do it again after so long. BYG camp was so much fun. Had a fabulous time just shouting and screaming and jumping and singing to God. Now, children’s camp is coming. But I am down with sore throat, cough and flu (and my running nose is ‘killing’ me slowly).
Completed reading a book recently, which is highly recommended by a friend. “How To Find A Date Worth Keeping”. Basically talks about being open to make friends (and DO make it a point to make plenty of friends), getting to know people and learning about others and self. I beg to differ on certain issues though. Some of the ‘strategies’which the writer suggested do not fit in fundamentally with our culture.
People have been asking me what kind of guy am I looking for. I seriously would like to have someone older (hopefully mature and not a boy trapped in a man’s body). Someone who accepts and appreciates me, with a sense of humour. In His time, in His time… … I have too many more important things to do now.
Pastor Timothy said something which I really caught today. It encircles our responsibility as humans: when things go wrong, do not point fingers to others. Reflect upon the part we contributed to result in such situations. Sometimes I complain that I do not have enough time for social activities. The fact is that I am taking on too much. It maybe less than others but for my personal time and schedule, it is overloading. It could also be time management. I could have easily said ‘no’ to requests and tasks but I did not. The truth is, I have a choice! I can have more time for my family and friends! I must learn to prioritise.
Attended 3 weddings and down with 1 more. Have a friend who said he is disillusioned with marriage and the thought of it scares him. All in the name of his friends’ bad experiences and divorce rates. It takes a lot to make a marriage successful, let alone for it to work. But it is so blessed to have a soul mate whom you can go to, pour out your inner thoughts and be understood completely (sometimes without having to even speak a word). Perhaps I’ve found this person but we only share a purely platonic friendship. I guess I really am blessed with a friend like him already. Maybe we should all be realistically optimistic instead of being negative about everything.
