Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

typing in my darkened air-con-ed room now. cold so i'm wearing socks. supposed to be sleeping but can't... thoughts running through my head that can't go away. that's why i'm here. ah...
finally finished all my EOI papers. feel relieved. and mentally drained. It has been sometime since I've let go to do stuff that I enjoy. Mrs. Tan gave me the book Purpose Driven Life. I'm determined to get back on track with God. Nothing shall stop me! Muahahaha. I mean it. I shall define my life's essentials as the following: spiritual food, fellowship, food and sleep. Yup. I'm still feeling a little under the weather. Guess I've got to be patient with myself and not be too hard on myself. Those who are still working out those brain cells for exams, PERSEVERE! But don't study too hard. Don't want my life to be just school school school school anymore. I've gotta have fun! Get out of the house! Stop thinking so much about work and ENJOY LIFE! But first, I've got to get my time management in place. It's something that I've always shunned, prefering to run a free schedule for every day. Guess it's a way of... I dunno not facing the pressure from all the work? But that mindset's gotta change if I ever wanna thrive on stress. Dunno what's the matter with me... do I need more sleep or what? Wish every day was church church and church. haha... I'm rambling.
I feel so hungry, so empty. Not physically but spiritually. I WANT A TOUCH FROM GOD! I wanna know Him more... grow more in Him, have Him fill me again to overflowing. Can't wait to go to church tmr. I know we can worship God everywhere but hey, my spiritual family's in that red-brick building at Adam Road. Yes, we as believers should meet just like the fellowship of believers in acts 2. Miss service and cell. Thinking back, Mrs. Tan was right. I really do need to get out of the house and mix around with people! That's why we're goin out for breakfast on sunday morning! Just decided to use this time to blog cos guess what... I'VE FINALLY GOT BROADBAND! Haha... Ok shall go now. Headache! Take a lil rest. And if my still-injured toe feels fine, I'll definitely go for a walk in the evening.
*song in my heart
LORD, REIGN IN ME(Heart of Worship 1 CD 2)
Over all the earth, You reign on high
Every mountain stream, every sunset sky
But my one request, Lord my only aim...
Is that You reign in me again
Chorus:
Lord reign in me, reign in Your power
Over all my dreams in my darkest hour
You are the Lord of all I am
So won't You reign in me again
Over every thought, over every word
May my life reflect the beauty of the Lord
'Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing
So won't You reign in me again
-Chorus-
So won't You reign in me again... as I'm reaching out I know Your hand's just there, waiting for me to grasp it for strength, guidance and love. I love You Lord, more than any word can express.

Just finished I great TAWG. Because each day I wake up like a different person (kinda lose touch of the 'ol me or whatever happens the day before), I chose to set the day right with starting it with my Maker's words to me, and end it with a time of reflection and a good night kiss from heaven (: Really these two times are so precious to me. No words can describe how much I love Him. But this is my favourite psalm which kinda sums it all up (no pun intended).
Psalm 139For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
O LORD, You have searched me and You know me
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
You know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in--behind and before;
You have laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there Your hand will guide me,
Your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to You;
the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
For You created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in Your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.
If only You would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, You bloodthirsty men!
They speak of You with evil intent;
Your adversaries misuse Your name.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against You?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
It's really beautiful what the Holy Spirit can bring through the words of a man written in this psalm. Poetic words of such... undescridible comfort, words that touched and healed my broken spirit in such a tender and loving way. I hope it brings comfort for you too, for God is the God of all comfort. Only He can heal and redeem. Yes, only He.
