(7) Make Me A Servant

This is one of my very favorite songs.

I have been thinking lately, about friendship. I feel I have not been appreciating my friends enough, nor putting enough effort into maintaining some, or making new ones...Been anti-social lately, very anti-social...hehehe....Oh dear.

I have been stressed, and lacked sleep. But it is no excuse to neglect my friends, however patient they are with me (and they have been, they are so much like family now, and I love my family to tiny little pieces) (Oh, daddy called today, and my brother's piano playing has improved haha (This is big news, he's one of the slowest learners ever lol)! My uncle's cancer has spread though...and mummy was disappointed when I told her I spent Valentines with a group of singletons (sounds like skeletons @.@) haha...MUMMY!!! *Rolls eyes* I am an architecture student!!! Plus, I'm NOT mature enough!!!!

Oh this reminds me! Bible reading at home was 1st Peter 2:1-3 (Get rid of malicious behavior and deceit. Don't just pretend to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and backstabbing.2You must crave spiritual milk so that you can grow into the fullness of your salvation. Cry out for nourishment as a baby cries out for milk,3 now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness.)

OUCH....

Anyway, I like this song because it is about serving others, and being humble and meek. And being kind to those who are weaker or less well off. It describes a character that I hope to achieve one day hehe....

Such a nice song to remind me to serve...

Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

2 Corinthians 4:5
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

I had a good sleep just now, and suddenly I am wide awake. Sigh, my hours are messed up. I wonder how to put it into some semblance of order when we have crazy crits and submissions every week T.T Have to figure it out quickly or I may lose a couple of years off my life, I think.

Oh, a rather interesting subject suddenly popped to my mind just now. It's CHIVALRY. Hehe, severely lacking in most Singaporean guys I have met. Seriously. I mean, I may have been a little spoiled by Pastor Noah's training of YA boys, but SG guys are hopeless. It was submission day today, and we were carrying a lot of things over to the exhibition hall. There were lots of things. I can't help being reminded that if I were back in CEFC YA guys would be the ones offering to help carry things (at least, Pastor would make them do it, hehe: Guys, please carry your bags into the bus, and take the girl's things in too...) And this time, after I carted my things over (in two trips) I went and helped a guy carry his stuff over...Sigh...And got barely a thank you...

The roles have switched.

Maybe I haven't met enough Singaporean guys and this is a hasty generalization..but I do miss chivalry sometimes...hehe...maybe I'm just the romantic type (trust someone who quotes Romeo and Juliet in her blog to be such)...Anyway, I better go to sleep as I have to run around the school tomorrow (Why I signed up for the thing I have not the slightest idea.)
