"Lord remember me.."

It's been a really super tiring day even though I had plenty of rest from the night before. Service in the morning went on well as for normal, and ended off right about on time. A quick lunch was hurried through before returning to Chancery for Secell today. I must honestly say that I felt very drained today. Don't remember ever feeling so drained in recent months on any sundays.

"Lord remember me.."

Some of us stayed back, sang songs, made noises and had plenty of laughs. Sure was a good way to start any week, the dinner was awesome too. But there was really too much on my mind weighing me back tonight, and not sure if I had shown it. Hope I hadn't.

"Lord remember me.."

I'm reminded once more today that I'm not a man without limits, perhaps there's been a little too much demand on my time these days. School's starting again and it hasn't helped that I'm still back off track with regards to studying. ECA's tugging on my limbs at every corner and I feel tied up for every commitment I've made myself to. I don't regret the decisions I've made to participate in them, I just regret my lack of self discipline for this semester. Remorse is not enough, have gotta pick myself up and dash to the finishing line once again. Came back to hall early to pack up for tidbit sales throughout NTU on Tues night. Will have to continue again on Mon night. Tidbit sales til midnight on Tues night. Drama rehearsal on Wed night. Nothing yet on Thurs night. Worship pract on Fri night. Hall Cultural night on Sat night.. The cycle will go on and on this time next sunday.

"Lord remember me.."

Been serving in Secell for about 5 yrs now, worship for 6 yrs. Despite these long years, I'm still feeling the occasion inadequecy, tonight was one of such blue moons. I'll need to call up one of my lovely sheep tomorrow night, really hope it'll be a fruitful call. So much needs to be done, so much more that I want to do.

For each moment a sigh's made,
A silent wish is lifted to the One who hears.
In prayer, eyes closed and a bowed head,
A humble breath choked, welling tears,
"Lord remember me.."

The Lord is healing, mending, restoring
Alleviating pain, sorrows, diseases.
He's mighty yet gracious, firm yet loving.
And 'cos I know His steadfast love never ceases,
"Lord remember me.."

Fear and dismay, all lifted now.
Unknowing of the future, hopeful somehow.
Surely the Lord hears, I'm reassured.
For a prayer was made, the Lord has heard,
"Lord remember me.."
