Meaning?

Without meaning, nothing else matters. With meaning, everything else falls into place
- Austrian concentration camp survivor Victor Frankl

If you can't see the why, you cannot live for the what.
...As soon as I was able to answer the "why", even my failures began to make sense.
- Ravi Zacharias

Pride?

There is a dislocation of humility in our times. We have become more confident in who we are and less in what we believe. Our pride has moved us from the organ of conviction to the organ of ambition, when it is intended to be the other way around. In short, our confidence should be in our message and not in ourselves.
- G.K. Chesterton

Complete

Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice--my open heart.
I offer up my life.
I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again

So I lift my eyes to you, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
And I will be complete in You.

Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice--my open heart.
I offer up my life.
I look to You, Lord.
Your love that never ends
Restores me again

So I lift my eyes to you Lord
And by faith, I will walk on, Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day,
And I will be complete in..

I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again

So I lift my eyes to you Lord
In your strength will I break through Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears.

Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And I pray I will hold on, Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in
I will be complete in
I will be complete in You

What an ending to Orientation '08!
Really, the chapel service really made this whole week complete!
And, being able to worship God in the ACJC school hall.. He really made me feel complete! =)

Of course, there was the fun..

Posing as new kids.. Which faltered obviously..

Meeting the new 'young ones'..As well as the 'oldies'..

But the highlight of the whole visit?
Well.. Words cannot fully express how proud I am of the 'kids'.
Esp of the stupid idiots.

Conclusion?
A week well spent. =)
