Resolute

So it is time for me to get extreme about certain things in my life.

I've got 3-4months of holiday+attachment before I go back to school.

I want to :

1. Stop watching tv
2. Use less Facebook
3. Start exercising
4. Start reading my books
5. Start studying my Bible
6. And sleep less in the afternoon

Time for some discipline in my life!!!

Guess what, I went to service my macbook, and I left the receipt at Fish & Co. =_=

Hope I don't have to end up paying or something...

It's over!

I am declaring that exams are over!

In 12hours' time that is!

This has been the toughest semester I've gone through.

So far, these four months have been the most trying, not just in terms of studies but in all other aspects of my life too.

Wah, without Him I think I would have kapoot already.

One third of the year gone.

Am I still the same?

The narrow path

How can we be refined, moulded, and suited to the plans of God?

Only through the test of fire.

Every person who wants to be used by God even more, has to be even less.

And more broken.

So mould me Lord, because I know You have great plans for me.

With Hope

This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again

And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

Blog Drought

There's been a drought at my blog due to the intense mugging that I have subjected myself to.

I'm taking a rest today after my paper.

This is a significant week for many of us.

A very important and precious person will soon be leaving us.

Leaving behind an huge void.

It's time to flap your wings and fly...

Living for something greater.

"Every generation needs a revolution"

That's what Hillsongs says.

True indeed.

Been reading a book by Jim Cymbala on prayer. It's called "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire"

My vision for the youth never changes.

I pray that I will avail myself to the move of God.



I was watching this video and my heart was really stirred up.

I want to live for something worth dying for.

I want to live for a cause.

And no greater cause than for Jesus and His heart for the lost.

Please God, remind me of the vision and keep my heart soft.

Rain rain come again...

We're so thirsty Lord.



Can't wait for exams to finish. Here I am with zero motivation to mug. Maybe tonight. =)

We Prepare The Way

This is a heartfelt song that really touches my heart a lot.

Take some time, listen to the lyrics, let the Holy Spirit remind you and I that life isn't just about work, CCA and projects. Nor is it just the struggles of our hearts.

It's about God and His glory, and His work in you, the church and the world out there.

Prepare Him a way.

Weakness

It is only in weakness do we totally lean on God.

It's only in disappointment, that you realise your hope can only rest on God alone.

It's only in gloom, sadness and burdened moments that we find God to be the lightest burden to ever carry.

To all those out there suffering under tons of work, intense pressure and unsurmountable struggles in your life,

Take it to the Lord in prayer as the song says.

The best time for Daddy to pick us up is when we are too tired to do anything anymore.

It is finished.

It is finshed. Don't ever what to talk about it. Can't wait to hand it up tomorrow.

Can't believe this took up so much of my time.

Dance with me again

"Dance with me again, let the angels tell each other, heaven's playing our song" -Jessie Goodman

Sometimes, deep in our heart, we really longed to be loved like a little child, with no strings attached.

You don't need Him to say anything, you don't even need to look at Him.

The nearness of God, the embrace of His big warm arms, the thump of His heart.

Daddy God, lift me up and embrace me. I just want you to love me.

Hope.

Listening to Jessie, Klaus, Kent and many others have reminded me that there is so much depth in worship.

it's like a river. we start ankle deep, then we go knee deep and finally we're totally submerged, immersed in His presence.

"There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. " Psalms 46:4-5

Can my Quiet time be always total immersion in His presence? Can youth service be like this? Can main service be like this?

Can. Whether we want to or not.

Talking to God, talking to Him about everything - Kent henry

Wah, it's almost over..can't take it!! just finish doing my project. =)Whine whine whine.

Talked about worship abit just now at Gloria Jeans with some of my peeps.

Something leaps in my heart whenever people around me start talking about worship. It's like, my inner man suddenly lights up and sends a signal that goes beep beep in my head.


Don't know why I got this sudden blogging craze. Maybe it's becuz of this new RSS feeder I got from Jason Lee Tok Kong. Wah.

if you want it pls drop me a msg at the tagboard.
It's for MAC users only.

Old Wives' Tale

My auntie said soaking in the mango in salt water will get rid of heatiness in the mango.

Sheesh.
Well, doomsday on Friday, and my project group is driving me nuts. But it's ok. Endure.

Nonetheless, listened to Jessie Goodman today and something about worship just struck me.

There's just this endless depth of His presence. Woah. Don't know how and don't know why, but it's just ... satisfying. Haha.

Sweet Jesus, in the roar of His waterfall... Wash me over and rush over me...Wonder what the Psalmist was doing.

I can imagine, him near a large waterfall, sitting with his lyre, harp or any ancient instrument, and singing and singing and just being reminded of how awesome His presence is.

Wah. Don't ever let worship be boring Lord. It is a disgrace to You!

Work

I remember a line from a kent henry song I always sang to myself when I was emo in Secondary School and JC.

When my heart pined for the love of the girl I liked, when quiet time was super dry, when I got scolded lots lots by my leaders.. haha. This should stir up some interest in reading this resurrected blog.

"Why do I sway, I can't face the day without You.. My heart beats away, but Your love remains always true"

The load of work is super heavy! No wonder some of my kids are dying.

No rest + no QT + no connection with God + too much project/work = death inside out

The most important thing for me now is to keep my heart soft and close to Him.

The hardest thing to do, so it seems. When time is such a precious commodity, God becomes a rarity.

One more week, then the projects are over.

Endure.

Updated!

Boo.

I shall update my blog.

So here we have. An entry. =)

Time flies.

I'll be interning at KPMG this summer. What exciting prospects.
