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...
praise God! i have not been posting here for quite some time. the previous post consisted of a thought of mine, this post will be more of all update of wat i have been doing during these time.
im now a "marketing executive" in my mum's stall. ha. how many of u noe my parents are fishmongers? heh. so, im literally in the marketplace. haha. will be there for a month till my mum comes back from her near one-month holiday. 1st to china, then to england. great isnt it? it shld be a good rest for my mum.. i hope. hee. im reali not sure if she will like those places that she chose coz she isnt exactly a scenic person. anyway, yesterday i thought to pray for her before she flew off, but somehow i drew back. sigh. not the 1st time, and i really hope to make it the last time! i wanna show my love and concern to her thru Christ's way.
anyhow, wat Pst Daphne shared before we break camp, impacted me in a way. we must all rise to action and live. she said something rather interesting. she said God said to her that sometimes we Christians are in such a hurry to die, that we duno how to live. and the ppl around us are dying. u noe wat it means? means we are not teaching those unsaved ppl how to live coz all we care is to die. and she said, when we are alive in Christ, we will be dead in the flesh! wat sobering thought! i have never thought in that way before.
this yr's tertiary camp, IMO, is such a different and impactful one that the ones i have before and it will be my last one, afterall i have graduated. im not sure why, but im really seeing God doing something different this time round in the camp, not to add that the evangelistic nite was great too! and i believed God will be also doing something mighty in the campuses too! and im adding SIM into the campuses. do u believe that revival will come into SIM?? i really believe! we have to catch the ppl in the unis before they go out to the dog-eat-dog world, before all of them got battered and hurt without noeing Christ and all they noe in their head will be money, cars, the 'C's and climbing up the career ladder! isnt that sad? coz the focus are all wrong? thats y we Christians all ought to go out and do something! of coz, not forcing Christ down ppl's throat, there is a time for salvation, but we all have the responsibility to share Christ. is not for us. but for Him. Proverbs says that it is wise to save souls. and we all are given the Great Commission. as i thot abt the ppl, my heart goes out to them.
this brings me down to the Guitar Club. i noe we have started as an outreach club and im afraid that im maybe the only one who has that vision. but im beckoning all of u to have a bigger vision. see the guitar club as a place of sowing seeds even if u dun somehow believe that we are able to save souls thru this club. if the club became just a guitar club in the future, just let it be. but while u are at work, pls do as much as u can. maybe in the future, we will see those ppl in the club coming to our churches, or see them in our workplace. if u dun see guitar club as an outreach club, see it as a secular club but u having a heart for evangelism for the ppl! somehow, im getting excited and emotional as i toked abt it. can u hear my heart? and most imptly, can u hear God's heart? some ppl sow seeds, some ppl waters, some ppl plants and some ppl reaps but ALL gets the same reward! and yes, everyone gets the same reward! we dun wan to be narrow minded in the way we see things. and i admitted that i was narrow minded in certain degrees. and also having an old mindset. we need to have a renewed mindset and see things as God sees. during the camp, i felt that i was not having good eyes. and not having the good report in my head. i see many things as obstacles. as giants. is like the spies who were sent out to spy the land and all they see were the giants in the land, and that is not pleasing at all to God. let us all have the eyes of faith to believe God can do wonders. and i do sense that God is doing something in SIM. let us nt draw back to go forward in wat we are doing!
the camp has been great. it has done something in my life. is great coz im starting the next phase in my life. i was in confusion for the last few mths, but things have change in for the better when i surrendered to the Lord. im glad i will nt be entering into my workplace with a mind and spirit of confusion and uncertainty. God is good. is always good to spend time with the Lord. not to get a burn out. we will get a burn out when there is no grace. let us pray for grace from God. :)
prior to this camp, i was helping out at CfaN for 2 to 3 weeks after my exams officially ended. i was helping out for the Fire Conference. it was tiring but it was all worth it. there were only 4 staffs in the CfaN office and they were the one who organised the entire event of a few thousand ppl. tok abt grace! and in the Fire Conference, truly God is in the midst of us. and Reinhard Bonnke is really a man of God, full of fire for the Lord even at the age of 66. Paul Baloche is another man worth toking abt. a humble worship leader with a heart for God. not to mention great skills. ha.
yep, my life has been such. not that much things but yet all life-transforming for me. can i say that this year is considered a renewed encounter with the Lord after that encounter 4, 5 years ago? im not sure but it really changes something in me, just like the encounter i had with God abt 4, 5 years ago. Praise God! :)
