Psalm 126

A Song of Ascents.

1 When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
3 The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad.

4 Bring back our captivity, O LORD,
As the streams in the South.

5 Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
6 He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.

i really like verse 3. the Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.

are you glad when you receive the Lord's blessings? sometimes we just take alot of things for granted. its a blessing that im in Bethany. its a blessing to be in law school - why am i complaining about the workload? its a blessing that i got a C for memo and not something worse. its a blessing that memorial ends before cny! its a blessing i have my family for cny. its a blessing that next week is a break and i get to meet all my friends that i miss so much. its a blessing that i even have friends to miss. so many things to be thankful for, and yet. theres always the tendency to go -but-.

the Lord truly has done great things for us. and my prayer for today is for strength, and to teach me to be grateful. be grateful even for every second i spend refining my arguments for the memorial, cos things really could be alot worse.

i like 'meet me by the waters' by rachael yamagata. (:

would you meet me by the water tonight?
would you please fall asleep holding my hand.

good night (:
