Only 45min left of my March holidays, and I find myself wandering around aimlessly on the net. Perhaps in denial that the beloved holidays are over as the clock strikes twelve.
Term 1 has flown past, yet I wish it's now Term 4. It's a complicated struggle within me - for one who looked forward to seeing the kids everyday, to wishing everyday was holiday. Sighs.
Anyway, no point sighing. There is a time for everything, and I shall give thanks for the past week. Enjoyed hanging out with different people. Ate yummy food. Taught on the Full Armour of God. Played Bejeweled. Laughed at Mr. X.
Come to think of it, perhaps the heart is not longing for more holidays, but for something more that would fill the inner void. After all, if one is contented in Christ, isn't everyday a holiday?
I just returned from a wake @ Singapore Casket. He is 17, the son of my colleague. He fought hard in the ICU for 5 weeks, before going home to be with the Lord today. Young and promising. Prime of his life. It was heart-wrenching to watch the family mourn with deep sorrow.
At the funeral service, the people sang the song "God will make a way". It was sombre, with not a dry eye in sight. In times like these, it is such a great reminder that He gives and takes away. With a snap of a finger, all will be gone.
Are we living each second of our lives with purpose, or are we just wasting it away? Life is transient.
There has been so many prayer requests lately from different people. This song is for you.
A life of grace, hope, and strength, as I walk each day with the Lover of my Soul.. He says to me "I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:9b,10. And so, He is More than Enough for me. =)
