rediscovering eden
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

There’s been a considerable amount of action going on lately. It’s pretty daunting, honestly! For better for worse I really don’t know. It started off promising but now it seems things have gotten worse. Ohwell, gotta trust God and cling onto His promises.
Okay anyway, I do owe Lidan a little something XD She asked me what’s my purpose in life, so I said I would blog it. I don’t know why I can’t say it la; I’m quite shy, I guess. Really. I don’t think I’m ashamed of the gospel or of God in any way, but I am very shy sometimes D: Or maybe it’s just excuses. Hmm, something to think about.
My purpose is basically to seek serve and follow Christ (which is the GB mission too!), and to fulfil my God-given destiny. As in, I don’t buy into all these things about material success or power or even happiness. Haha, and by the way, I believe in joy, not happiness(: Happiness is conditional; joy doesn’t care about what happens- it remains in spite of the most dire of circumstances. Haha and joy is, in many ways, a choice! :D As for all the material stuff, if they come, they come. I’m not being impractical or unrealistic or having lofty ideas. I know how important money is. That doesn’t actually mean I care so much.
And to address the “fulfilling my God-given destiny” part, to be honest I don’t know what it is. I have an idea, but it’s still pretty hazy. In terms of jobs and all, especially. I am quite sure, though, that I do not have a full-time call. Haha, I thought having a full-time call was really cool, so I prayed about it for some time a couple of years back. And I usually know when God’s calling me to something (responding is another thing though!) Besides, we have altar calls for full-time call pretty often and I honestly don’t think I have one. Haha(: So yup, chances are, I will take on a secular job.
All this talk arose from the CLE lesson “What is success?” which was really pretty thought-provoking. We’ll be doing more of this in the weeks to come, so yeah, something to look forward to I guess :D
I need to spend some time with God! Lay down all my burdens and baggage :D And just spend some time in awe at the greatness of God.
