Reach the sky;

Jing made my day super happy yesterday. Cos' she didn't get a formal invitation, but she came anyway. For EXIT I mean. Thanks and I hope you got something out of it.

The drama team did a really good job at it. Especially those that played Mark and Nicholas. I got such a shock when Mark got dragged off screaming and all, especially when he went: "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" I whipped my head back to the front immediately. Then went Nick got dragged away too, I took great care not to follow him with my eyes. Such a shock. I think I got traumatized.

I'm sure everyone wants to leave behind a legacy. Maybe we don't all say it out. But I don't believe we go through life just cos' it's been given to us and not wanting to do stuff to be remembered out of it. When we leave this Earth, what is it would we have wanted to accomplish before time runs out? I want to make an impact on the lives around me. I want to bring that shining light in this world, the one who leads people to Him. I believe, you can be a garbage collector, but if you find purpose in what you do, then I guess you've got a great job. Talking a bit too far maybe, so let's rewind to now. We ain't got no job. Unless you consider that of a student, but I believe there's more to what we are here on Earth for. Not to study and mug your youth away then get successful(not that I don't want to), not to idle time away and then, at the end, regret everything. Some might argue, 1 person. What can you do? Nothing much. Maybe if you're lucky, a couple of people. But imagine this, that 1 person manages to touch 2 others, and the other 2 further reach out to another 4, and on this goes. I'd like to believe that's what will happen.

You know, when I said in the previous post I didn't feel far from God, I was speaking relatively. After EXIT, I realised, how truly far away I feel. I haven't been doing proper TAWG and all. Like, I get so easily distracted. So there I'm gonna' change that. I remember, this verse the night before OBS.

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

who turned the rock into a pool,
the hard rock into springs of water.

~Psalms 114:7-8

I pray and hope, that well, God will really transform me. Like the rock. That he will use me as a vessel to bring forth springs of water, to do his will in this world and that by my efforts and his mercy and grace, that I'll be able to see people, make that decision to know Him.

And thanks to EXIT, I'm hooked on to the song What if. (Can be found on my music play list)

What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?
