Peace

Remember this post?

I've been listening to this a lot recently and meditating on the lyrics. Esp wif Christmas just over, I was pondering on the meaning n reality of peace in my life, in the light of how I've been living my life this whole year of 2005. Once again I'm faced wif the ineptness n inadequacy of my lang skills to express all tt I feel.

As is expressed so well in the song:

Oh Lord I hunger for more of You
Rise up within me
Let me know Your Truth

Oh Holy Spirit saturate my soul
And let the life of God fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Indeed may the Holy Spirit so saturate me tt I'm dripping wif His fragance n His presence is overflowing out of my ears.

This Christmas, I had the opportunity to attend the midnight Eucharist service at St Andrew's Cathedral on Christmas Eve. It was an interesting time. I've to confess I got bored at some pts in time eg during the sermon (oops). However, the whole service gave me ample time to reflect on the rituals we went thru - corporate prayer, scripture readings, singing of hymns n the Lord's Supper. I was deeply moved when I followed the rest of the congregation n went up to the altar for the bread n the wine. The thot tt when partaking of the elements, I am actually partaking of God - tt He is in me n I am in Him, tt we are so intimately interwined, no one can separate us, tt He came just so tt we can come freely to Him - it made me gasp n I had to take a few deep breaths to keep my tears inside.

As I take time to ponder before the start of the new year, there seem to be so many things I want to do. This new year will be the start of another new journey - new pp, new places, new things n experiences. I am so glad I get to bring my frens n loved ones along. I know I can't do it alone. I can't dream my dreams alone, I can't walk alone, I can't build anything alone.

I need all of you. Will you walk wif me?
