I Will Follow

So I’m hooked on this song and it’s lyrics since Mabel led it yesterday. It goes like this:

“I Will Follow”

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow…

All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I’ll love
How you serve I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you

Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You’re the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone

In you there’s life everlasting
In you there’s freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy
and I will follow

When I was singing the song, it was easy for me to pledge that I’ll go where God goes, follow Him when He moves and when He stays. But when it came to the lyrics “Who you love, I’ll love” and “How You serve, I’ll serve”, I found hard to sing that with all my heart.

Lord,
Help me with this. I’m not ready to love as You do, neither to serve as you serve.

Your child.

on essaying

I made a commitment at the start of this semester that I would attempt to start writing my essay assignments at least 2 weeks before they are due, and so far.. I’ve been keeping to it. As of now, I’m researching on topics for my Visual Culture and Evolution modules.

Man, I thought it would be easy… But this semester has just been proving itself to be more and more difficult as the weeks pass, as the amount of effort and concentration that I put in increases. WHYYY?? :(

So I’m thinking of writing on pornography for Visual Culture, and kissing for Evolution. Yet, the sources keep proving to me that I still need to think and work harder about the topics. That perhaps, I shouldn’t try.. RAWR.

I really want to write what I want to write.. And not fall into the ‘trap’ (?) of writing for the marks. It’s sad when I see all my fellow school mates ranting about marks and how they won’t do well cause of certain factors… Sometimes I wonder why I’m not like them.. What are A’s worth? How does one get them? Why must one strive to achieve excellent grades?

That said, I do not have good grades, nor excellent academic interests or knowledge, or any drive to complete anything.. On what basis have I to criticise the way others pursue academics? Perhaps I am the one who needs working on…

Right now, it’s my essay that needs working on… Salut!

and here it goes

i’m not sure if i want to make a commitment to start blogging regularly again. haha! but reading blogs have sparked something in me that urged me to start writing again. so perhaps i will. perhaps i won’t. but i guess i’ll be back here again, some time soon :)
