Together

I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to the picture.
A different ending to this fairytale
And no sunset into which we sail.

There are 2 kinds of people in this world.

One who says to God, 'Your will be done.' The other kind, God says to them, 'Alright then, have it your way.' (C.S. Lewis)

It might seem as if I am the first kind. But deep down I know, I might just be the second kind if God's grace was not upon me. Sometimes I wonder, if my life has been a breeze thus far? And it is. I have a wonderful family. I have passed all my major examinations. I am having fun in my life. Sometimes I wonder if I should have suffered some major setbacks in my life.

Perhaps I should, to learn a little life lesson, rather than take things for granted.

You see, some of my friends cannot enter university. Some of them took it hard, like the second kind of person. Some thanked God anyway, like the first kind of person. I wonder if I were to face the same kind of setback, will I be the first, or second kind? And surely such setbacks will come my way in the future.

'My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness.' And so the hymn goes. Surely a piece of paper certificate cannot bring you down! Is your hope so fragile as to hang upon that piece of paper?

My sister Wan Jun made a lot of sense:

Ball N Biscuit : Let it be. says:
they feel like they lose 2 years lidda

何日君再去 says:
maybe they gain something too
gain failure

何日君再去 says:
losing time is not that impt
losing integrity has greater impact


Gain failure! I may have missed out on a great lesson of life. So my dear friends, will it be God's will? Or will it be your way?
