I think on a scale of 1 to 10 between a sinner and a saint, I would probably give myself a .... 2? Maybe even 1. Sigh! I dont think the title of this blog is appropriate at all. I dont think I am having much success in living up to it. A dear fren of mine gave me a CD (which he "burned") and one of the song spoke to my heart. I can't remember all the lyrics....thats the problem with "burned" CDs, they dont come with a nice jacket and lyrics. What I do remember is the chorus..
"I am, a flower quickly fading,
here today and gone tomorrow,
a wave tossed in the ocean,
a vapour in the wind...
Still You, hear me when I'm calling,
Lord You catch me when I'm falling,
and You told me who I am....
I am YOURS, I am YOURS"
Aren't the words beautiful? I think, if my results depends on my obedience and saintliness, I don't think I need sit for the exam next week; I'd downright fail. No question about it. But I will sit for it and depend on God's grace to go through it. I don't know if I will clear it but I know I won't be alone.
My batch of colleagues have the distinction in ALL failing our part one exam together more than two years ago. Yessirreee, we fellas from UM are really capable of doing things like this; much akin to slipping off the top 100 uni in the world in a mere 360 days! That particular episode has always haunted me. What if history repeats itself?
Yeah, I am depressed. Just 3 days to the exam. I guess for every mortal being, at a critical time like this, most of us will do a few things....like go get a tan and swim (which i did this morning), go berserk and panic (getting to that, on the brink in fact) and i think most of us will appeal to a higher power or a divine being. Me? I call on my Father...the Physician. "Make me just like You!, amen"

Here is the lyrics bro .... yes success come from Him alone. You are not alone. I will be keeping you in prayer....
Artist: Casting crowns
Song: Who am I lyrics
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 (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.
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,
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 (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.
I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,
I am Yours.
