Regrets
As I looked back at my Secondary School life on my way back home today, I realised it was full of fun and sad to say regrets. When I looked at Caritas's blog and saw a post which said:
But, our biggest regrets are not for the things we did - but, for the things we didn't do.
Actually, I feel that I've done alot of things which made people and myself sad.

MY Biggest regret is that I ____________________. Well, I've kept this inside me and will continue keeping it within me...

Let's get on a lighter tone and brighten up the dull atmosphere here. Today went to church and I chaired the Pre-JWS 8 am service. Was pretty scared... Dunno why? I think I did a horrible job when I noticed that only a few of the kids were sining and when I looked up to the other helpers for guidance, they were like looking at their books....

Then after chairing went to Sunday School. We actually wanted to go for breakfast but then, sLim got caught by his Sunday School teacher. Shag! So we headed back into the CSH. We had a lesson on John Calvin.

If you believe in Calvinism, you are a Calvin. =.=

Then went for 1045 service. A preacher by the name of Dr. Steve Reynolds preached in an American accent and that left me sitting at my place like o.O... Didn't really get the message.

Went to lunch with 3 other people. So encouraging right the number. 3! ctas, ryan and *guess who*. No prizes if you guess correctly... We went to J8. Had lunch at the foodcourt. Then went back home.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

Refrain

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Refrain

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Refrain

I think this was the message for me today. The Lord spoke to me as I was preparing this for Pre-JWS.




Sometimes the sun shines ever so bright.
But inside there’s clouds as dark as the night.
Thank you Lord you’re my all in all.
You calm me so peacefully when there is a squall.

You wipe my tears and make it like day.
You let hope shine bright when there’s trouble at bay.
You made life in me when no one else could
You’re my rock and my stronghold where I have stood
I will stand in your gates when they open wide
Thank you Lord for being by my side.

When death finally comes and knocks on my gate
I will gladly accept I’ll no longer wait.
I’ll open my eyes and see your sweet face.
And marvel at your amazing Grace.

Down here there are those who will mourn and cry
But I cannot wait till the time goes by,
A time it may seem before you see me again,
But when I see you I’ll shout hallelujah amen!

Dear friends here on earth, please do not grieve,
Now is the time for me to Leave
It may seem sad and dreary at times
But know that the gift of life is mine
For him have I lived, and to him I will run
My time here on earth is finally done.

As I dance down those streets shining with gold
I’ll think of you God and what I’ve been told
I’ll know that my faith was the faith that was true
And I’ll know that you did what you said you’d do.
I’ll sing with the angels and dance with you Lord
For I have been saved from the fiery sword.
