The Hong Kong tourists held hostages in the Philippines incident is still fresh on press. The news range from encouragement for Jason, a teenager that was severely injured and is now in a coma, to the revelation of more of the irresponsible handling from the Philippines government. To me, death is a concept that is so far away, yet so seemingly close, especially after the incident of the Malone sisters from UR this summer. It is still a concept for me because it has not been one of my personal experiences, which I am very thankful for.

Casting Crowns - Who Am I Lyrics
Who am I?
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 wondering 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.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor 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.
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 calm the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am.
But because what of youve done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor 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.
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.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
You told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cuz I am yours.
I am yours.
Deeply touched by this song. This week, God constantly reminds me that I should put my faith in Him. It seems that I need to re-learn what faith is again. What is faith really?
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
I feel like everything that I am facing now is a test of faith for me. The first one is definitely I-Month. Do I have faith in God that He can train me to be a good leader in front of all these amazing people that I am going to work with? Do I have faith that this will be a success? The second one would be with IV. Do I have faith that... when I step in this circle, I will be blessed by these people? I need to admit that each encounter with IV people is out of my comfort zone. Do I have faith in these people that I will be working with? Third one. GIG. Faith. God, show me what faith is. I know God has shown me once already. This week, a girl named YY has been constantly in my heart as a potential invitee to GIG. She's in my anthro class. On Saturday, she came to badminton practice and she was wearing a shirt with a bible verse on it. I asked if she's a Christian and she said yes. I asked if she would be interested in joining GIG and she said yes! That was my first interaction with her. Praise be to the Lord!
What is faith?
What is faith?
