Feeling old

This afternoon while lazying on the bed together with the feeling of I'm-so-lonely-and-bored, it suddenly dawned to me I will not be seeing a few people anymore. They have been part of my life in UM for the past two years. We had many(or a few) conversations, laughed together or done things together and now I won't be doing that with them anymore once they graduate. And as the months go by, more people would also leave. Suddenly, I'm overwhelmed by the fact that I'm already half way through in uni, and the time for saying goodbyes has come. Well, it's not that I won't be seeing them again, but things will be not be the same anymore. But one thing that will still remain, is the fact that although we have crossed paths these 2 years(and later 3-4 years), I have been truly blessed through the many lessons that I have learnt from them. It's time to move on. There is a time for everything. A time to say 'Hi' and Goodbye'. A time to meet new people and be impacted by them. A time to remember all that has happened in my life and be grateful as well as thankful.

Two more years to go as an undergraduate. So much more to learn and experience. What has the Lord in store for me? I don't know but my life is in His hands.

Just now I started listening to one song by Phillips, Craig and Dean and I couldn't stop listening. Well, at first the music of the song caught my attention and then I realised how meaningful the lyrics are (this goes to all the other songs that I listen, the music catches my attention first and then only the lyrics...hehe).

When God Ran

Verse 1:

Almighty God, The Great I Am, Immovable Rock,

Omnipotent, Powerful,

Awesome Lord.

Victorious Warrior, Commanding King of Kings,Mighty Conqueror

and the only time,

The only time I ever saw him run,

Was when...

Chorus:

He ran to me,

He took me in His arms,

Held my head to His chest,

Said "My son's come home again!"

Lifted my face, Wiped the tears from my eyes,

With forgiveness in His voice He said

"Son, do you know I still love You?"

(End Chorus)

He caught me By surprise, When God ran...

Verse 2:

The day I left home,I knew I'd broken His heart.

And I wondered then, if things could ever be the same.

Then one night,I remembered His love for me.

And down that dusty road, ahead I could see,

It was the only time,

It was the only time I ever saw Him run.

And then...

He caught me by surprise.And He brought me to my knees.

When God ran... I saw Him run to me.

Bridge:

I was so ashamed, all alone, and so far away.

But now I know, that He's been waiting for this day...

I saw Him run to me,

He took me in His arms,

Held my head to his chest,

Said "My son's come home again!"

Lifted my face,

Wiped the tears from my eyes,

With forgiveness in His voice I felt his love for me again.

He ran to me,He took me in His arms,

Held my head to his chest,

Said "My son's come home again!"

Lifted my face,

Wiped the tears from my eyes,

With forgiveness in His voice He said

"Son"He called me Son.

He said "Son, do you know I still love You?"

He ran to me(When God Ran)

(I saw Him run to me)

And then I ran to Him

(When God ran)

When God ran
