I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
thats the 1st thing i nd to say. :( how many times do i nd to be convicted before i finally surrender? sigh... GRACE IS WHAT I NEED!
but just want to update a few things before i "retire"... i will spend less time on this monster. doing more things that are productive to the Kingdom of God. ie. not only my ministries and myself also. minus all the unneccessary things. all in all, it means, put God 1st in watever i do. not there to be anything else before Him. sis nita johnson said something very interestingly and soberly and truely a few days ago. " The Church is sleeping and is living like exactly like the world and they dun even know it." how true. how scary. we all nd to repent. all about turn in the things we do wrongly.
on another note, i had an interesting day today. morning i was at a water baptism service of my latest cell member. was good. wonderful. she is very very happy. we bought her a cross ydae and presented it to her which she wore it immediately. plus a card which i had done till 2am. shouldnt have took that long. but well...
afterwards, we adjourned to my cell leader's hse for housewarming. nto bad. designs contemporary. i think now most of the new couples' hses are all furnished up to the latest design. toking about how rich we sporeans are actually when many many people dun even have a proper homes under their roofs. ok, i wasnt sayign anything abt my cell leader. my hse IS also design "lavishly".. have to admit is nice living in a nice furnished hse.. and it is God's blessing that we can have that. my cell leader is getting married on boxing day! the last wedding im to attend for this year..phew! today, while on the way to michelle's wedding, my fren actuali said we should set up a personal attend-wedding-fund coz we simpy have too many weddings to attend. haa...
ok, yar..last on my item today is michelle's wedding. was nice(an understatement) and loving. the emcees are funnie. i have not seen more funny emcees than they. most of the emcees are quite standard and formal. guess coz chinese congre ppl are more like one big family than the english congre one. the love of God was in the place! i could sense the pleasure of God upon them, and i somehow fully identified with wat Pst Lip prayed that he sensed that God will give them an inheritance. whoa! i guess that was the best gift God could have given anyone for their wedding. ha. oh yar, magnets containing their photo are given as door gifts. they are very nice. but i wonder wat i can do with them. i have just put them on my desk. nice! but as i was looking at it, i somehow find it strange... hmm... coz.. why should i put their photo on my desk?? *scratch scratch* should be a photo of at least my grp of frens with me or me with my other half rite? hmm...nvm... still nice lah
ok, that for now. i shall stop update this thing that often. maybe i should push my comp out of my room like i did to my tv a few years ago...
