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...
hmm.. rem the dream that i shared before a few wks ago? if not, you can refer downwards... well... i shared this with a few of my frens and i bought 2 books regarding interpreting dreams too.. named, "understanding the dream that you dream" and its part 2.
the books are not bad. gave simple illustrations of interpreting dreams and how to go about it. the author says, when a person goes to another for help to interpret dream, most of the time, that person will get the answer, "meditate abt it", that suggestion may be good and valid coz we do nd God's help to interpret it since He is the one who gave the dream in the 1st place, but some ppl may not know where to start or even how to start meditating. it is like putting a person in a desert and say "find the way"... heh.. sori ah.. this lousy analogy is given by myself, not the author. anyway, the author included a dictionary of symbols in the book that ppl may most dream of and that are more common, eg, vehicles, numbers, etc. it gave some brief descriptions of wat the objects might symbolise with scripture support to say why the symbols represents that respectively. it is a 'might' coz it has to be in context with the dream and depends on the revelation given by God too. but i would say it is a useful way to somehow start interpreting the dream. for myself, most of the time, when i dream, i already somehow hv an idea of wat issit abt and i believed that God will also give some understanding abt it. however, there are certain details that i may not be clear of. so, that was the reason y i bought the books.
anyway, back to the interpretation of my dream...
one fren said, " u must be in the will of God"... wat came to me was..true, true.. but wat issit abt? issit my life? my ministry? my ministry now or the future? wat issit?
another fren said, "the moral of the story is noe where u are going".. thats true too...i thought...
then another fren said, " i thought it might be toking abt you being send forth to another country..."
today, another one said, " u must noe where you are going even before you start going anywhere"....
woohoo!~
and so, with my own understanding plusthose "helps" i get from my frens and plusthe book.. my interpretation of that dream is this...
1. it is abt my life ministry 2. it is abt me being send forth in the future 3. before i go, i must noe if that place is where God wans me to go, that is, issit the will of God? 4. cannot just anyhow go 5. if i happened to really get lost, go back to the church, and they will help me to come back
and last but not least, it is a warning from God! noeing my character and my tendency, God is always gracious enuf to warn me abt things... and im glad God confirmed certain things in my life even thru this dream... God indeed cares abt each and every one of us :)
