rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours
who we are
Most happening...

Hello everybody far and wide,
we are all scattered around the world now, well..sort of.
I’m leaving on the Friday, and ever since like 2 months ago I have been counting down the days. Now that the day is closing in, I am rushing to do everything that I need to do before I go. Meeting up with people, planetkids things, clean up room, packing up the house and the sort.
I was just reading Psalm 39 just now. This is what is says
Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered
And that my life is fleeing away.
My life is no longer than the width of my hand
An entire lifetime is just a moment to you
Human existence is but a breath.
See how david says, my days are numbered.
That particular line jumped out at me.
I realized that I hadn’t started counting down like 7 months ago to when I was going home, it was just too far away and I wasn’t even sure when I was actually going to leave. Then it came to being just 2 months and the flight was booked, and I started numbering my days, counting down. Rushing right, rushing left. I knew now that I had limited time.
That line reminded me that, in God’s eyes, All our lives are numbered.
Whether we live for 40 more years 80 more years or 100 more years, God already knows
when we are going back Home. He’s just waiting for Us to realise that sooner than it seems, our time will be up, and we will be standing at the judgement table.
‘ What did you do with the time I gave you?’
See if we let it sink in, how short a time we have here, we’ll be rushing to get things done.
Saving our family, saving our friends.
Announcing the truth, spreading the gospel.
Letting go of this messed up world.
Take a moment, let it sink in.
But not too long
cos the clock is ticking.
Love,B
