"Enough"

Every year, I try to write a song to remind me of what God is saying to me as well as to "follow up on my gift of song writing". This year I had wanted to write a song about what Good Friday means to me but to no avail until today. I was fiddling on the keyboard with some progression and I had this progression that I continued playing for a few minutes. A while later, the words just flowed. It's as if my fingers and my mouth knew the burstings of my heart. The song melody and lyrics all came in an hour's time. I must say I am very happy with this composition because I know God has breathed into it.

The message of this song is to emulate Christ in the way He lived. The hardest part is to live how Christ had lived i.e how He obeyed the cross decree. He had to die there. Yet it was not a life wasted or a life that had missed out on life's best. He helped many people, He changed many lives and not one single minute of his life was shortchanged as He took the road less travelled.

IN scriptures, Jesus spoke of the narrow way, the narrow door. The narrow path is the path to God's kingdom every disciple should take. Yet the relunctance sometimes, is the fear of losing out. As I reflected upon the way Jesus lived, I know if I do not have Him. I will lose out more than I think I can ever gain. Having experienced Him as I have gone through the peaks and
valleys of life so far (13 years), I know that He is more than enough for me and He is my eternity. Nothing so far that I've gone through on this earth can compare to me knowing Him more and more.

Here's the lyrics:

Enough by Ruth Tay

Jesus Christ
Thank you for your life
Living Sacrifice
You were crucified
Jesus Christ
Help me live your life
I lay aside my pride
To know You is my prize

Chorus:
I will choose the narrow way
Take the narrow path
I won't care what people may say
You are more than enough for me
You are my eternity

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me ...

God leads us along

I attended a memorial service of Pastor Derek Tan, Former President of TCA, the bible school which I graduated from. It was a night of remembering. The fondest memory I have of him was his sense of humour. Last night, a lecturer of the bible school gave her eulogy, his sense of humour once again surfaced. On his hospital bed, he asked his fellow colleague to bring him some good food. When asked what he would like to eat, he asked for sharks' fins. Food and humour. As I sat where I was listening to the eulogies, I asked myself, what a person be most remembered for? For Pastor Derek Tan, he will always be remembered for his kindness and graciousness, beyond all that he has accomplished, a man like him will always be remembered by how he has treated others. No hint of ranks lurks each time I sit in his room after a semester ends to discuss which courses I should be taking for the next semester. He would talk to me like how would talk to a friend. I will always remember his reassuring ...

6 weeks plus & 4.5mm

I went to the gynae yesterday. For the first time, I heard and saw the baby's heartbeat through the ultrasound scan. It's quite amazing at this point. The gynae told me that the baby is not feeding from me yet, it is attached to a yolk and the yolk is where it draws its nutrients from. It's just great to think that when God created the reproduction system, God saw to every detail. I wonder where did the yolk come from and how it is attached to the baby. It's a mystery to me but it causes me to sing yet again in praise to God. When people heard that I was pregnant, they would expressed their excitement in WOWS & YAYS. For myself, I didn't had such an expression. When I found out that I was pregnant via the test kit, I went "Oh, I am pregnant" - as a matter of factly. Similarly, when Adrian found out that I was pregnant, he had the same response as me. We weren't into screaming the whole house/neighbourhood down. For us, it was sober and thoughtful. ...
