- Eternal Treasures-

~useless treasures that i keep seeking~

Eternal Treasures

when i face my Creator,
what will my response be?
will i be able to give an account,
on the life He has given me?
what things do i hold dear to me?
does these things last for eternity?
will everything that i own,
make a difference when my life is no longer to be?

though i know this,
why do i still seek the things that doesn't matter?
why do i only seek things that bring me pleaseure?
why do i store up these useless tresures?
Oh Lord teach me to seek the things that matter.
not just the things that bring me pleasure.
for moth and rust will destroy all that i treasure,
but the things of the Lord will last forever.

Oh Lord thank you for reminding me,
to seek things that matter.
You said Oh Lord,
where my treasure is,
there my heart will be also,
so Lord teach me to store my treasures in You,
because You are all that matters.

so my friends i pray you'll also remember,
to seek things that matter,
let us make a difference where we are,
and bring glory to God's Kingdom.
hopefully when we meet our creator in Heaven,
He will say to us 'well done, you good and faithful servant'.

words by Alvin Lee

as i sat there and read this, it really struck me that all my lie... or at least most of it here in melbourne.. i've been chasing all these things that don't really matter...
spending heaps and heaps on clothes after clothes that i don't really need...
buying small little cheap nick nacks to match wat i wear,
when altogether i can say i've spent a bomb..
I am so Vain!!does it reallie matter that i look nice when i go out...
and embarassing as it my sound i even dress up when i'm at home
can ask my bixie to testify to that.
but then again i always told myself that it motivates me to study...
WHAT CRAP!!! its just another lame excuse to cover up my vanity....

just look at the amount of earrings i have... and those are just studs...
can u imagine the no. of danglies i have...
its about time i started seeking eternal treasures
but its so difficult to overcome the temptation of shopping
but God please show me Your grace and mercy and help me only get things that i need and not want..
and at the end of the day when i die..
where do all these things go???
they are left behind here,
my life would jus be summarised as a 'dash' on my tombstone,
not by the wonderful matching i made with clothes and accessories..

~Lord help me to live simply so that others can simply live~

in the summertime
baby in the summertime
that's where i'll be

-thirsty merc-
~~take me back to the summertime~~
yet another summer has come and gone...
and another holidae has just passed me by.
as we sang this song on our road trip along the great ocean road
it really dawned on me how i missed my summer holidays
and how each year i do look forward to them and just enjoying them to the max
how there were just so many sweet times and HOT nites
ahhhhhhhh...
and even if i had to wait till next year
i actually do care
cos ive got to go thru all the many assignments and sickerning stuff uni throws me
but everything is gonna be alright
cos God will see me thru each day
and yes of cos YOU will see me there again in the summertime
cos thats where i belong

~eagerly waiting to go home but yet enduring whats here and praying for what is to come~

-crossroads-

standing at the crossroads
i fear i face a question where my heart and mind
are worlds apart
'cause life is not an alleyway
its riddled with thousands of choices
opportunites we can embrace

standing at the crossroads
i open out my arms and lift my face to feel
which way the wind will blow
on my right familiar faces
on my left an unknown place as
questions mark the road beyond the rise

so take me
step by step and hand in hand
i'll walk with You
where will You have me?

standing at the crossroads
i think of all the kind advice and
ponder still, my God's desire
dreams are fine because the move us
to keep in mind its all about Jesus
to ultimately help people to see
the Saviour who gave all to set us free

so hold on

standing still
while the world keeps turning
show me if You will
keep this fire burning
faith runs deeper
fear's no keeper
i'll go; pack my bags i'll go

hyelp me know to make decisions
based upon your kingdom
ready to move on
God only knows
i'm tired at standing
at the crossroads

Deb Fung 2004

yup yup.. its been quite a while.. and many things have happened...back to melbourne... back to uni... back to reality...
back to yet another crossroad in life...
and this time have to make yet another decision in life...
why is life full of decision making??
where to from here....
what next....
honestly.........
i reallie dun noe.....
as i sit back each day... time is just ticking away and i'm getting closer to time where i reallie have to make the decision...
but the again is waiting not the way?
i guess i shouldnt just sit back and hope that GOd will open the doors and make a way
i should do what needs to be done rite..
but then again its so complicated and confusing...
forms here forms there
applications here applications there...
can i really work after i graduate???
i guess i've been spoonfed for so many years
and reallie...
its just time to get out of this comfort zone...
can i reallly??
sometimes i wonder if what i say is really wat i wanna do...
or have i jus psyched myself into thinking i really wanna do it...
wat is it that i really want
wat is it that i like..
wat is it that i can do??
ultimately,
what is YOUR plan for my life....
as i stand here at the crossroads..
i pray YOu take over completely and
lead me
....please...
