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...
the 4th day of starting afresh once again. this new year has so far been so good. other than my wrist is in bandage.. had sprained my wrist last week while helping my dad carried his heavy stuff when i just recovered from my then-sprained wrist. ha.
i spent my 1st day of the year in a good and wonderful way after spending time with myself on new year's eve. have wanted to go to my fren's hse for countdown but later on didnt feel like going and feeling like spending my time with myself and the Lord Himself. i din end last yr with a high note and nor an encouraging note either. but God is good! His mercies are new every morning. i knew He was there with me that nite. and i felt a sense of hope right after 12mn. haa.. yes, a new start, a new beginning for this year.
im concentrating on a few things that im suppose to do for this new year. 1. my studies! - half a yr more to go , a so-call last hurdle. pls passed it well and good that my parents and God will be proud of me. 2. my life after my studies - im concentrating more on my studies 1st before i think more abt it though i have aredi given it some thoughts. secular vs full-time Christian organisations?business-related jobs vs non-business related jobs? i nd to pray abt it. 3. of coz, my spiritual life with God - have to improve. have to move on. and press on. feel that im in a state of mediocre everytime i think abt it. im NOT satisfied at all!
toking abt this, i had a dream on the 1st day of the new year. i remembered in that dream someone was healed. the man's leg was straightened. and i remembered i was very surprised and i couldnt believe my eyes! and i then felt that i was thinking logically y should i be surprise? God does heal and He is the miracle working God! with that, i either drift into another dream or i woke up. i forgot. but i believed that God is speaking to me about it coz i dun hv a strong faith for healing. and i hope to get a breakthru in this this year, especially when the Lord has spoken! yes, the Lord God does heal! :)
4. naturally - i would like to start saving and clear all my debts :P this year! and keep a healthy lifestyle. ha..
ok, back to my 2nd day of my new year. i went out in the morning to have dim sum buffet with my parents. wah.. as usual eat until so full that i didnt have anything for the rest fo the days other than some drinks. after which, i went to warren country club for ktv and then some bowling. yar.. my wrist wasnt feeling well and i went bowling. serve me right that my wrist is painful! at nite, i went to church to hear the missions report from the team who has just came back from country C. ha. something happened on my way to church, thats y i was late. but i am too lazy to say here. heh. report was good. but i was a bit blur here and there coz too places they have went this time round. but i was glad to hear of the well-being of the ppl i have met the last time i went. :)
Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lam 3:22,23
