In the midst of all the stress and fun and business jc life brings, i kinda think of ij less. plus it doesn't hurt anymore walking in the opp direction of all the IJ girls in the morning. so i thought i have 'successfully' moved on, so i was kinda relieved? or maybe i felt freed? i'm not sure also!
i saw ij having mass last friday from my window! i heard the entire homily, the Eucharist, the songs, i vaguely saw the sign of peace. the sea of blue was nostalgic, the all so familiar hymns, the dedication songs at the end of mass where we held each other and sang, the Our Fathers, the numerous masses where we sat out in the sun scorching heat got on our nerves... these memories left me choking with tears
then they sang "One Family", the school song, our Founder's Day song (in french and english), and the IJ Spirit song. those were such sweet memories, and now, i think we were so stupid to say we hated school.
Does it really what we call ourselves
As long He's the one who first called us?
Why spend our time fighting among ourselves
When He called us to spread His love?
Remember His message to us:
We are one family, in the Lord
That's how it's meant to be, in the Lord
Working hand in hand,
To make Him known though out the world
So let's just stop and face each other
It's like looking in the mirror
Recognize our similarities
Yes, it's time to come together
We can make things even better
Try to be what He meant us to be
ONE family
Does it really matter how we pray or sing
As long it's His name on our lips?
Just enjoy the way he made us different but the sane
'Cos He made us to be like Him
Don't forget what He made us to be
