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

I am truly blessed. It's a bit early to do a 2010 review, but it's been good and I wanna say it before I lose the thought. It's been by far the toughest single year of my life (okay on second thoughts maybe 2003 takes the cake but it's a tough fight anyway) but 2010 is a year that really grew me a lot. I guess some of you might know that 2007 was a really good year for me. 2010 was... better :D I don't judge years by how smooth-sailing they've been. Rather, it's probably been all the trying times that make years memorable. Of course, I'm probably only saying this because things have gotten better (though not entirely, because it's still a hugely precarious situation).
I've learnt many things this year, but I know this for sure: I've learnt to see that I am so, so blessed. And Miss Tan's speech to the class of 2010 reminded me of this.
I am blessed because no matter what I go through, I have people by my side who genuinely care about me, and I have people who will not only listen and encourage, but turn me to Christ and help me to realign my focus. I am blessed because God has given me so much. I am blessed because of the joy I have in my heart. I am blessed because the things I go through aren't just tough stuff that make me miserable but situations that make me better and stronger.
2010 has taught me just that. Of course there are some things about the year that I regret, like wasting time on useless things, not spending enough time catching up with the people I love, drifting from God at times... But I guess regrets are just but part and parcel of all of life's goodness, haha.
Come to think of it, I've done and been through quite a few things this year. It's been good la, and I thank God.
Oh a few more things actually. We sang "Counting on God" last Sunday, and it was yet another reminder of the Lord's grace and provision over my life. He has been so good to me, really, really, really.
By the way, I stopped blogging because my life got smoother and I stopped needing an outlet. Till now, at least. I wanted to put this on FB but didn't have the guts. FB has way too many people for me to express a personal reflection.
