End of an Era

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

It’s
official.

I
am no longer a dormer.

I
could so easily freak out right now.

For
quite some time now being a dormer defined a large part of who I was, I always
loved being a dormer since its convenient and my close friends live with me
under one roof. I never got homesick probably because I was sick of home when I
was 12 years old, I wanted independence and the prospect of being in charge of
my own time allured me. Now I’m in a state of apoplexy even though I thought I
prepared myself for this months ago; I think I don’t know myself the way I used
to anymore. It’s inevitable anyway, I’ve been a dormer ever since I was a
teenager; 7 years must come to an end. But the coincidence that I am no longer
a dormer and teenager at the same time is a funny cosmic joke, the order is
destructive and the punch line smacks right to my nose.

Hahaha.

"7
means completion" takes a whole new meaning for me. I’ll always have the
memories and experiences, the fun and sad moments and how being a dormer shaped
my character and how I associate with people.

I
wish I’m a turtle, if I were I won’t have any issues about a convenient place
to live in.

Twentieth “Day After Independence Day”

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

“Give
thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
       his love endures forever.

Let Israel say:
       "His love endures forever." 

Let
the house of Aaron say:
       "His love endures forever."

   
Let those who fear the LORD say:
       "His love endures forever."

   
In my anguish I cried to the LORD,
       and he answered by setting me free.

    The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
       What can man do to me?

   
The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
       I will look in triumph on my enemies.

   
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
       than to trust in man.

   
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
       than to trust in princes.

    All the nations
surrounded me,
       but in the name of the LORD I cut them
off.

    They surrounded me on
every side,
       but in the name of the LORD I cut them
off.

    They swarmed around me
like bees,
       but they died out as quickly as burning
thorns;
       in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

    I was pushed back and about to fall,
       but the LORD helped me.

    The LORD is my strength and my song;
       he has become my salvation.

    Shouts of joy and
victory
       resound in the tents of the righteous:
       "The
LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!

   
The LORD’s right hand is lifted high;
       the LORD’s right hand has done mighty
things!"

    I will not die but live,
       and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

   
The LORD has chastened me severely,
       but he has not given me over to death.

   
Open for me the gates of righteousness;
       I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.

    This is the gate of the LORD
       through which the righteous may enter.

   
I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
       you have become my salvation.

   
The stone the builders rejected
       has become the capstone;

   
the LORD has done this,
       and it is marvelous in our eyes.

   
This is the day the LORD has made;
       let us rejoice and be glad in it.

   
O LORD, save us;
       O LORD, grant us success.

   
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
       From the house of the LORD we bless you.

   
The LORD is God,
       and he has made his light shine upon us.
       With boughs in hand, join in the festal
procession
       up to the horns of the altar.

   
You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
       you are my God, and I will exalt you.

   
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
       his love endures forever.”

Happy Birthday to me.

Thank you, my Lord, for everything You’ve done. Thank you for being good to me.
