Ιησούς

Posted in Uncategorized on April 22, 2006 by Lydia
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift if love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

‘Til on the cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ in I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then, bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost it’s grip on me
For I am His and He us mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand

Just wanted to share a powerful song which speaks of so much truth and conviction.

Truly in Christ alone, my life and its eternity lies..

This is the basis of my faith.

You are problem solvers

"You are problem solvers - you solve people’s problems. You are the Sherlock Holmes… the CSIs of the human body and your job is to find clues from your patient and track down the culprit
- the criminal of the human disease."
Wah. Sounded super inspiring when one of my Paediatrics Posting Professor said it.

A time of renewal and reflection

Posted in Uncategorized on April 17, 2006 by Lydia
Easter came, Easter went… as fast as the weekend flew by with services and practices, yet there was enough time to recollect, to reflect and to renew my commitment to Him.
Anyway, just wanted to post this up. Am super proud to be part of this group. :)

The world seems to change… except me (Part 2)

Posted in Thoughts on April 5, 2006 by Lydia
Stumbled on to a childhood friend’s blog today - we were once so close, so close.. like glue.. I would even consider her my first bestest friend as a little kid. My goodness, how she has changed sooooo much! She was almost unrecognizable, yet there still was the small resemblance of that little girl I once knew. I doubt she even remembers me. But nevermind that, after seeing her and reading about her life she’s living.. sort of reinforces the fact that I still feel like I’ve never changed since … since.., hmm.. no, no since – feels like I’ve never changed at all. sigh.
Still chubby, still the same old hairstyle, the same old talk, same height, same features. You know, I bet all my childhood friends could remember me from a glance.
You know, it feels like I’m the slowest to board on to the train of change.

The world seems to change.. except me

Ever looked around you, and see how people have changed so much over the years.. and then wonder why haven’t you changed as much? It feels as though old friends have undergone major makeovers (like those conducted by Oprah), some are engaged, some married, some even with children… lol, and I’m still the same ol’ me – probably not changed much since high school. Okay, maybe some years of college and med school had toughen me up a little (I stress, a little!), but strip that all away, I’m still the same! arghh.. that’s so SO not good… or is it?
People should change, right?

Choices

Posted in Thoughts on April 1, 2006 by Lydia
Two choices lie ahead of me
One decision I should make
One which offers something exciting
One which offers something secure
One decision I should make
Should it be to my heart’s desire
Should it be to my mind’s logic
Should it be to both
One which offers something exciting
But I know will not last
But I fear I might regret
But I feel I should try
One which offers something secure
Seems right for me
Seems planned for me
Seems almost perfect for me
Two choices still ahead of me
One decision still waiting to be made
Oh, if only there weren’t difficult choices
Oh, if only there weren’t choices at all
