While I'm waiting

This song from the Fireproof movie really speaks to me at this point. Waiting for God's direction, for things to come to fruition, when things don't seem to be going in the way I imagined it should. It reminds me to continue to serve and worship Him even when I'm waiting...



While I'm Waiting - John Waller

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

THINGS WE LEAVE BEHIND

Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002)

There sits Simon,
so foolishly wise
proudly he's tending his nets
Then Jesus calls,
and the boats drift away
all that he owns he forgets

More than the nets
he abandoned that day,
he found that his pride was soon drifting away
It's hard to imagine the freedom we find
from the things we leave behind

Matthew was mindful
of taking the tax,
pressing the people to pay
Hearing the call,
he responded in faith
followed the Light and the Way

Leaving the people
so puzzled he found,
the greed in his heart
was no longer around and
it's hard to imagine
the freedom we find
from the things
we leave behind

Every heart needs to be set free,
from posessions
that hold it so tight
'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own,
It's the power
to do what is right
Jesus, our only posession,
giving becomes our delight
We can't imagine the freedom we find
from the things we leave behind

We show a love for the world in our lives
by worshipping goods we posess
Jesus has laid all our treasures aside
"love God above all the rest"

'Cause when we say 'no'
to the things of the world
we open our hearts
to the love of the Lord and
its hard to imagine
the freedom we find
from the things we leave behind

Oh, and it's hard to imagine
the freedom we find
from the things
we leave behind

Tribute to Uncle Sank

This morning I found out that my co-labourer at SCCC who just retired last year after more than 38 years of service has gone home to the Father. Nedunghat Sankaran, or Uncle Sank as we affectionately call him, and his wife Aunty Sally were the first staff when SCCC was started way back in 1969. I had the brief opportunity to co-labour with and to learn from them when they were transferred to my ministry with Creative Communications last year for a short time where they were involved in internet ministry. Uncle Sank's legacy lives on through his website at http://discovery.sccc.org.sg

What really impressed me about Uncle Sank was his love of the Lord and his tenacity in ministry. Even while suffering from spinal problems which prevented him from sitting down for too long, he continued to update the website and reply to the people who wrote through the website. He hooked up his computer to a large screen LCD TV with a wireless mouse and keyboard so that he could continue to stand and reply to emails.

What an irony that for a person who was in his golden years, he used the means and technology of the younger generation to continue to reach out to them. No longer able to travel to meet and disciple people like he used to when he was working on the university campus, he still sought out ways to continue to reach out to people who are asking questions about life. What an inspiration to me, even as I am no longer a youth and moving on to middle age. How can my ministry change as I grow older? Here was a great example.

Thank you Uncle Sank for your legacy, and Aunty Sally, I will definitely continue to pray for you as you go through this difficult time of loss.
