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

Christmas is over in a flash. New year next. For most Christians, it is an almost bursting peak period, liken to the closing of accounts for the financial year in the commercial world. Enjoyed the caroling, although it was a mad rush because our group had to go to 3 homes in a night. There were many children in our team, which boosted the total carolers to 35, I think. Had a fabulous time narrating and trust me, I really thank God for giving me the energy and voice to do so. After the second home, I thought I was going to lose it. Been singing for almost the entire December. Phew!
The Christmas service was satiated with the gist of the season. The excitement, I could smell it in the air. Pity we did not take any pictures.
Food and presents galore. Most of all, love spoken in both tangible and tangible ways. Received this interesting book titled Can Cows Walk Down Stairs. Love the purple set of towels from Michelle. Guess many realized I have this soft spot for earrings and received 3 in total. Have to say this fetish is fading. Have not purchased them for a long time. TomSum gave me such a sweet present I felt so… haha… trying to remind me to be more feminine? Actually, I can be very soft and gentle... depending on who I am dealing with. Kekeke. Hand made and customized gifts from Didi Dardar, Tong and Daphne. Saccharine seaon…
Sad to say, this festive season is not joyous for her. When a loved one dies, how can you bring yourself to celebrate?
Yet it must be delirious for another, who knows that her best gift from God is a bundle of joy. Having babies… argh… the best thing that can happen to any woman.
That man is ridiculously nauseating. His very presence irks me. His dangerously roving and ogling lusty eyes jolt any female into a state of panic. To think that my deliberate behaviour to maneuver away from him was not obvious enough? Yucks! Somebody get me out of here!!! Or should I say, get HIM out of here?
Made tiramisu. Looks good? Sorry, Henry, for breaking my promise to your mum. I felt so bad but there is nothing I can do about it. I kept my word but… … why? Why? Why?
Wendy gave me Genie’s (Sugene) Special Christmas CD. Love the song Because Of Love. So catchy and forward-looking. According to her, this song was penned with her inspiration from 1 Cor 13:13 – And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love. The rap was kind of adorable and refreshing too. Still think she sounds better speaking or singing in English. Haha.
Shy Didi Dardar and blur Michelle kissed me on my cheeks. Heh! I do not just allow any adult to kiss me alright! Babies and children are exceptions. Didi Dardar and Tommy kissed Sharon too. It was so obvious who is her true prince. Haha.
Both Justin and Esther are baptized this year.
To think that after 2 years, I am still remembered for my crying and singing scene. Acted in a Christmas skit two years back. Was baptized then too. Just in that year, God made all my childhood dreams come true! I got into teaching. The skit provided me with the golden opportunity to act and sing. Never knew I could pull it through. God, you are amazing. Frankly speaking, though it was really hard work with all the rehearsals and preparation for children camp, I really love to sing and act. It is in my blood, I reckon, to perform? Well, someone told me that a teacher is essentially a performer.
Thank you Father God, for Your love so profound yet so within my reach. You made something out of me, who is fundamentally nothing. To offer nothing to you and yet receiving everything that I could ever dream of. You who gives me compassion and whispering softly and gently how much You trust and love me whenever I fail. Many times, just by sitting there in solitude and thinking of You, my glistering tears will roll down my face. I am of no worth, yet You hold me in the palm of Your hands and collect my every drop of tear. Some times, I wonder do I tear due to disappointments in life or because of Your fathomless love. My eyes turn blurry again…
