Live like there is no tomorrow

the last few days that Chris Tomlin song The Way I Was Made has been in my head... haha i think about the time back in David Youth we wanted to perform this song! hahaha we were so young...

i wanna live like there is no tomorrow.. i wanna dance like no one is around..

"Caught in the half-light, I'm caught alone
Waking up to the sunrise and the radio
Feels like I'm tied up, what's holding me?
Just praying today will be the day I go free

I want to live like there's no tomorrow
I want to dance like no one's around
I want to sing like nobody's listening
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty
I want to love like I'm not afraid
I want to be the man I was meant to be
I want to be the way I was made

Made in Your likeness, made with Your hands
Made to discover who You are and who I am
All I've forgotten help me to find
All that You've promised let it be in my life"

Life is short. Eternity is forever. I want to live the life i was given in a way that counts for eternity.
What will matter in a 100 years time? I never really heard anyone ask that question before till today.. usually it is where do u see your self in 5 or 10 years time... it is such a stupid question that has been engrained in us since CAPP ... it is such a worldy view... where do you see yourself?! LOL (how the beep would i know, and even if i plan to see myself there in 5 years it is all in God's hands) ... we really should be asking WHAT MATTERS .. WHAT AM I COMMITED TO?... i think ill be pondering these two questions over the next little while...

Thank You Lord for:
1) family who call me with endearing names like darling, girl, nana
2) blessing me with compliments from strangers
3) my ah shiang jie jie who i can have heart to heart talks with
4) trying out this restaurant with my parents and having a good time
5) people who are excited and letting others know that i am opening a restaurant, how encouraging!
6) simple things like making food
7) meeting this random guy who invited me to check out there church
8) hearing things from you that i needed to hear
9) being joyful, and thankful
10) the cross that allows me to come to You.
