Here By Me
I won't give anymore excuses as to why my blog is updated spasmodically. I've run out of them actually... haha... In any case, I think I found out my greatest weakness: impulse buying (very much like a girl, right?)! Was at the vicinity of AppleCentre@Orchard yesterday having lunch when I decided to just step into the store for just a minute. Little that I know that that minute turned out to be a purchase mission to buy my new iPod 30G Black! Whooopeee! I've always been fantasizing about it (I know that I already own a iPod Mini, but hey... it's the original iPod!).
Ok.. enough about my impulses. I realised that I've grown up alot ever since the last time I spoke to Ridge last June. I'm more prepared now to share, with a certain aura of maturity (I hope). God really does do that to you I guess. Regardless of the trials that He puts us through, it's always for a purpose. His sovereignty isn't just applied here but everywhere else in our daily lives, be it career options, relationships, friends, family etc etc... everything is put in place with an ultimate purpose in mind, and it is in this ultimate purpose that we must put our faith in, trusting that whatever the outcome, it is for our best interests.
As Doc John Lustre said yesterday with reference to Psalms 42-43, we must always uplift Christ even when we are down-trodden and burdened, regardless of the problem, always praise Him first. And then through Him find joy in the problems before us and seek solutions, not by our strength but His. By doing this, we can find our purpose and joy in having Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
I don't know if I've blogged this song before, Here by Me by 3 Doors Down. Sometimes I do feel like this... when I'm spiritually dry, or when Ling isn't around. I thought that this was an appropriate enough song...
I hope you're doing fine out there without me
'Cause I'm not doing so good without you
The things I thought you'd never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you...
And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
I can't take another day without you
'Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
Sorry I can't always find the words to say
But everything I've ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love...
And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you're not here
Sorry I can't always find the words to say
Everything I've ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
Take it easy, Keep it real...
