My Future Decided
Words and Music by Jonathan Douglass and Joel Houston
You hold the future in Your hands
You know my dreams and You have a plan
And as You light my way I'll follow You
My eyes on all of the above
My soul secure in all You've done
My mind's made up and You are the only one for me
Jesus, Saviour in my life You are everything
My future decided
I will praise Your name
Now I know that I am, I am Yours
Yeah I know that I am, I am Yours
With all the earth in Your command
You are the Rock on which I stand
And as I live each day I'll follow You
My eyes on all of the above
My soul secure in all You've done
My mind's made up and You are the only one for me
Jesus, Saviour in my life You are everything
My future decided
I will praise Your name
Now I know that I am, I am Yours
Yeah I know that I am, I am Yours
Unafraid, unashamed Lord we know who we are
(We are Your people and we won't be silent)
Unified, hear us cry at the top of our lungs
(You are our God and we will not be shaken)
Jesus, Saviour in my life You are everything
My future decided
I will praise Your name
Now I know that I am, I am Yours
Yeah I know that I am, I am Yours

I like this song alot (:
Especially the choir echoing part.
A few days back I shared my concern about not having to take up responsibilities in church with Freda. You'll see why I HAD this concern.
1. If I continue to be in the Nursing line, I'll be working shifts. And to what I know, I cannot choose shifts. I can only change shifts with other colleagues. So, ministry time will then be disrupted because of this. And I can't possibly change shifts all the time right? Not very fair for others.
2. If I choose to further my studies (which I planned to do so), then I'll most probably be going overseas to take Bachelor in Medicine? Haha, that's if I can make it there. And it'll take 5 years. Yes, FIVE long years.
So now you understand my concern about not being able to take up heavier responsibilities? Example would be taking a cell group, committing into worship team, etc. Because if I were to do all these, and I have no choice but to take one of the two options I listed above, then after two and half years left of Poly now I'd have to "abandon" everything here and work/ further studies overseas.
But then Freda said (with my self-added words): I still have two more years to go. And in these two years, alot of things can happen. And the options I listed above is what I planned. I didn't seek God at all.
I thought about it alot today. And yes, so many things can and will happen in 2 years. And I'm going to put up this verse again, "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21. And so, we just have to "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3.
So for those of you who are at the crossroads now, which road to take? Go forward? Turn right? Turn left? Why not look up to God and ask Him for a direction. (:
"When the outlook seems bleak/ depressing, why not try the uplook?" (:
Okay, that last paragraph, I admit it's just there for the sake of making the whole thing complete. Haha =/
YYY
testified! :D
