All I ever have to be.

It's pouring outside, the rains are back and it has been raining since noon and there is no sign that it will stop. The irony is that the taps are dry! No water coming through the mains. He! Hari Raya every year means water disruption for us as usage exceeds supply causing low pressure, hence no water to our tanks as we are almost the last inhabitants along the pipes.
Spent my time working since coming back from the city last friday. Sent our puppies away to the new owners and I must admit that I miss them very much and there is a sense of loss, a sadness in the heart over the parting. I do hope the new owners will shower care and love on them. I have no doubt that the Goldens will give their 100% love and affection to their new families. Anyway, I'll get over it. On the bright note, our dogs are getting more attention now that I have more time.
Here is a song worth reflecting on.

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head,
And the thoughtful words of health and hope
Have all been nicely said.
But I'm still hurting,
Wondering if I'll ever be
The one I think I am.
I think I am.

Then you gently re-remind me
That you've made me from the first,
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst.
And I realize the good in me,
Is only there because of who you are.
Who you are...

And all I ever have to be
Is what you've made me.
Any more or less would be a step
Out of your plan.
As you daily recreate me,
Help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do
What I can find.
And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be
Is what you've made me.

Sometimes I think we try too hard.. maybe it is time for us to wait at the feet of Jesus and rest in His presence. Take care and God Bless!
