when my heart is hard, break the stone away.
when my heart is cold, warm with the day.
when my heart is lost, lead me on Your way.
Lord let my heart be good soil.
i realise i'll miss you so much karen. i liked the way she kept referring me to stone-breaking when i wrote the first line on the back of the church bulletin. i wonder how she feels leaving the place she's grown up in, leaving her friends for life, and leaving her biggest comfort zone, and stepping into an entirely new world and life. my father once said that people applaud for you when you enter heaven, by those lives you've made a difference, when you've decided to love abit more and to spread your care around a bigger circle. you could see people you've never known clapping hard for you, and they tell you that their lives had turned out better, because of a deed you never knew could have such strong implications. that's the beauty of the plan of His good purpose.
but i also feel that the people who watch you leave also make a difference. each one who is there has made it a point to be present, because in some way or another you're significant in their lives. karen had an amazing 30 plus people there sending her off tonight, and even that is not testament enough to what a great impact she has made in all our lives. we were talking about how we'd want our sending offs be like if we ever left, and i realise that secretly, or not so since i'm writing it out here, i desire significance.
irony. "self-denial is the core of servanthood" time to wake up boy. down pride down!
