Christmas Day! Or it was, one hour and 44 minutes ago.
What can I say about this Christmas? For one, it definitely wasn't what I expected. Yes, I didn't expect to sing "Joy To The World" in no less than 4 languages.
Sermon was quite engaging today, I liked how Pastor Kow mixed it up with videos along the way.
Where the streets have no name.
Something struck me as I was eating my breakfast. A radio advert played, from Gold 90.5 FM.
Something about wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. But what really got to me was the descriptions of Christmas. There was something about gift-giving, eating, and other material comforts.
Don't they know that Christmas isn't about material or physical satisfaction? Don't they know, that it signifies God Himself coming onto Earth, to live as a mortal man?
It's annoying to see, or in this case, hear, how the media has twisted and turned Christmas into a time for partying and getting yourself wasted.
Sigh, I'm ranting again.
Time to move to something less depressing. Something like.. music!
Ohohoh and I saw my face in FaithLink. Not a good picture. Thanks a million, Kenn.
This song came up today while I was trying to do something productive. It's a Westlife song, pretty old, but still kinda nice.
I'm too lazy to copy and paste all the lyrics here! One whole block of text, it's gonna turn all 3 of my readers off.
Day after day
Time passed away
And I just can't get you out of my mind
Nobody knows, I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I just can't find
The courage to show to let you know
I've never felt love like this before
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me ?
How will I know if I let you go ?
Night after night I hear myself say
Why don't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you (no one like you)
You speak to my heart (speak to my heart)
It's such a a shame we're worlds apart
I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later I gotta choose
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
If I let you go I will never know
What my life would be, holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me?

Kind of the story of my life eh?
Never having any self-confidence to ask, to find out.
Spoke to Leroy about stuff, and he's the 5th person to know about the conundrum. Honestly, I can't think of anything to do, but to place it all in the hands of God. Have faith. He will make a way.
I'll be on a holiday until the 28th, and honestly, I'm not looking forward to it. I'd much rather be in church on the 27th, getting to know the kids, building bonds with them, but family is family. I'm sure even a small detail such as this still fits into His plan, so yeah, I'll leave it all to him.
With or without you.
