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

Dear Lord, thank you for answering my prayer! Since you've miraculously opened the door for me to apply for the Humanities Programme without having to take KI, I'm assured that this is Your will for me. I pray that You'll continue to lead and guide me the rest of the way, through the crossroads and y-junctions.
My life is indeed just a breath compared to eternity with You. All I ask is that You help me make the most of my time here on earth and be a good steward of the time You've paid for by the Cross. I love You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.Friday's matriculation day at RJC was a great experience. I had no idea it was the RJC open house too so I was pleasantly surprised by the carnival-like atmosphere and all the vibrant CCA displays. Thank God Dad and Mom approved of my proposed subject combination: H3 lit (since Mrs. Tan thinks it's a waste if I don't take it at H3), geog, maths and theatre studies and drama. I still can't believe that Dad actually encouraged me to go for TSD; he even said that it's practical! That coming from a man who constantly tells me that not taking physics is the worst decision I can ever make. At least we agree for once (:
The CCA scene in RJC is definitely livelier than I expected and a diverse range of clubs, sports, societies and performing arts groups cater to almost every need and interest of the students. This might sound like propaganda but it's is my honest opinion. Get this- there's even a band called Raffles Rock. Ultimate coolness! Imagine spending CCA time jamming with a band. That'll be my dream CCA. But I decided that my passion and gift for music comes from God so I'll only use it for Him and nothing else. Think I'll join something physically challenging like ODAC.
I'm actually excited about going to JC next year. 2006 will indeed be full of new beginnings with JC, the Humanities Programme (if I get in), the NEW district!, a new service and a new cell. Things are going to change and I'm praying that God will help me embrace even the most drastic of changes.
Pastor D's sermon on the internet was interesting. I'm glad to say I've contributed to his sermon in more than just doing the youth survey (: God revealed to me a lot more than what I seeked for, and some revelations, I might say, were rather unexpected and disturbing. But I'm extremely grateful for Him speaking so directly to me through Sister Carol. It was unmistakably from Him. God just has this way of touching my heart in the most amazing way.
Altar call was something- a refreshing touch after a long time. I've learnt that sometimes, we are bound by things we can't see. We don't realise it until God wakes us up to show us what's actually happening. The next time I find that something's wrong, I'll immediately start seeking God about it and pray until something gives.
Anyways, went rollerblading at Seletar reservior with my family just now. The view of the sunset on both sides of the pathway was beautiful. The colours of the sky and clouds all melting together in swirls of tangerine, purple, light blue, red and wisps of white. The enchanting view was reflected in the peacefully still surface of the reservior and lake down below where we were. An awesome sight.
I would have enjoyed it more if my feet didn't hurt as I zoomed up and down the pathway. When I removed my blades after that, I realised that a huge blister the size of a 50-cent coin was forming on the arch of my left foot because I didn't wear socks which were thick enough. Ouch. Guess I won't be rollerblading again any time soon.
