we delight in the law of Your word
we delight in the Son who was perfect from birth
we delight in the day He's returning to earth
hallelujah

we will bow our hearts because we are free
as we raise our hands
and give You glory
Father of life and love
and infinite worth

we're delivered by blood
that flow from the tree
draw us near to You
vessels of Your mercy
for the invention of man
glory as trinity

we will lift our eyes
to the cloud and the flame
Lord You guide our steps
and restore us again
the nations of man will rejoice
in the God of the wilderness

'we delight' ~ caedmon's call

i never thought that a song could ever touch my heart in so many ways, but evidently this one has. i reckon that songs speak to different people in different ways, and this one served as a balm for my soul, making me feel reassured in my place in this life again.

the past day and a bit has been a flurry of moving around, mainly due to the fact that the much-awaited family visit has indeed taken place -- and it has been lovely down to the very last second. right now i feel quite at peace with everything; i suppose the being nice to small animals effect of the ball still hasn't worn out.

one bleaurgh thing about today though: the results have been postponed till tomorrow, for some reason or another. all we got was some kind of curt e-mail telling us that we could only get our results tomorrow, which caused no end of confusion and inconvenience. that was not good, but i suppose they have their own (if inadequate) reasons. hmph. we reckon that they need to give us the results sometime, so it'll only be a matter of time then. tomorrow will be a really busy day though, but the nitty-gritty is boring and technical, so i'll keep those things to myself. :)

we went down to tesco just now and did the nickel tour of the supermarket, just for the fun of it. the sheer boredom that we have to undergo is just doing all our heads in, it's just amazing. for most of the afternoon we even resorted to watching the wimbledon matches just because. heck, the one person i could recognise was andy roddick, and not even for tennis reasons at that. oh, and tim henman of course, but that's only because i saw his face on my brother's tennis racket. imagine, my brothers wanting to pick up tennis, but me not knowing a smidgen about the game.

reckon i might have to ask jase about those tennis lessons he promised.

God really does answer prayer. some years ago i prayed and asked Him to prepare someone for me in that big wide world somewhere, and to help me recognise that person when i saw him by identifying general characteristics in that person's personality. somehow deep down, i knew that i would know it, feel it in my bones, when i met him.

over the years though, i have learnt that love at first sight really, truly doesn't exist. what i have realised is, that it is possible to grow to love a person. i won't say that i'm in love right now, but when he holds my hand and lets me know that we're onto something good, i can't help but utter a silent prayer of thanks to God, that even though we may not spend the rest of our lives together, i know that i've come pretty dang close.
