started this morning doing TAWG in a different way than my usual 15min-instant devotion. I started listening to gospel music and let it speak to me. wasnt intentional, just wanted to rid my mind of secular music just before i pick up 'Our Daily Bread', heard "This is My Desire" and my spirit sang with it, and somehow i just ended up sitting on my bed listening to 15-20min of gospel songs, where i slowly become more in tuned to God, making my TAWG today more enjoyable than my touch-and-go, 10-15min devotion.
Somehow dint read from 'Our Daily Bread' as usual. Rather, randomly opened the book at Psalm, and twice, I'm back at Psalm 103. Read it. It was a good reminder. Composed a simple song from the verses that spoke to me.
Bless the Lord O My Soul
Bless the Lord O My Soul, Bless the Lord
Let all that's within me bless His name
Bless the Lord O My Soul, Bless the Lord
Let all that's within me bless His name
Let all that's within me bless His name
My soul, do not forget, His benefits
Who forgives all your iniquities
Who redeems your life from destruction
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies
The Lord is merciful and gracious
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy
As far as the east is from the west
So far has He removed our transgressions from us
Bless the Lord O My Soul, Bless the Lord
Let all that's within me bless His name
Let all that's within me bless His name
Bless the Lord O My Soul, Bless the Lord
Let all that's within me bless His name
Let all that's within me bless His name
Would have loved to extend the time even further, although i already extended by extra 15min, but gotta go meet pri sch mates for brunch.
1 fried carrot cake, 4 person shared, while waiting for the 5th person to come. haha. in the end, this 4 of us shared 1 plate fried carrot cake & 8 ju kueh, plus iced milo each except for 1 who went for plain hot water... in total for brunch. the 5th one bought a plate of fried carrot cake for herself. haha. i like this pic. quite nice. =)then afternoon talking quite with fern.
evening.. went down to Changi Airport for section gathering (church, zone 2, gals cum guys). Glad the first person i met isnt someone who's not so familiar, which happened to be Andrew and then met Chloe not too long later.
Then very very fun!! Brought chloe go see the woodblock print, got her, and some others in the section excited. In the end, i end up being excited and seeing some creative strangers at work, felt motivated.... and TADA!!!
My masterpiece of which i'm proud of.
My section, all squeezed into that BIG lift in Terminal 3!! erm.. all i think 22 of us. yup yup.had a great time wif them, quite. in the beginning worried i might go into one of those 'modes' again. but i guess bringing taboo was a good idea. It was the main ice-breaker for me, helping me break out solo-ist mode, which i nearly fell into. But i guess i shouldnt had worried. With this group, it's kinda hard. XD
sigh. but tonight also brings back lots of memories. Whether it's the woodblock print, whether it was popeye where we ate, whether it was the viewing gallery at T3, and lots of other factors i shall not mention as not to give myself away... It brought back quite a number of nice but nostalgic memories, memories of friendships i'll miss, memories of good times i will dearly miss. It especially reminded me of a particular someone. But sometimes keeping friends is not only for us to decide. There's a limit of the effort we can put into friendships i guess.I'll miss that friend, and i have a bad feeling that T3 will keep reminding me of that friend of mine. oh well, the airport there's the arrival hall and the departure hall. In life, there's the arrival of people into your life, and the departure of others. :)
