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

Busy holidays- wish I could upload my Nov-Dec calendar here and rant about how often I have to go to school. SYF practice, revision programmes (okay blame it on the fact that I NEED the revision) etc etc. I have to go to school every day for this entire week except Friday. Am thinking of organising another jam but I don't think my parents are too cool about me spending more time outside. Maybe next week after the J2s i.e. Jas and Kelly have finished their As. Can't wait to learn more. I need the practice in a band setting to know what works and what doesn't.
The holidays are flying past. Whoosh!
Two weeks of Dec are taken up by youth camp and my family vacation. Which technically leaves me less than 4 weeks of break time. BUT I reckon I'll be involved in Xmas comm and other stuff so that'll be over by 18th Dec. Eeps! There's hardly much time for revision so that I'll be prepared next year, not to mention that I don't particularly relish the thought of spending my holidays studying (though I know I need to).
Much has happened. Long story. I seem to be bombarded with trials left right center, one after another. But let's just say that God has be the only constant through changes and the turbulence of the journey. He's my rock and foundation, my fortress and strong tower. I will not be shaken.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. (Psalms 91:2)
Econs revision worksheets (i.e. many many case studies and essay questions to plow through) await. I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight. I'm tempted to say, "God, You can wait right? Sorry, I really have lots to do and by the time I'm done, I'll be pretty much brain dead" or some other excuse like that. But I know I need Him even more during this trying time. Spending time with Him isn't just for my benefit either. It's a two-way relationship- I receive His love, but I need to give of mine too.
There are some things I still don't understand but I'm going to trust in His perfect plan for my life, in His sovereignty and unfailing love. It's hard to be still in the midst of a raging storm and you tend to forget that He's still there watching over you. You forget that His promises still hold true, that His peace will be your comfort and His joy your strength. I forget all that, often.
But there's always this still, small voice within me reminding me from time to time to trust, to wait, to persevere. Without Him, I'll have to face the world alone. And that, is the thing I fear most.
Sometimes I am alone, in the physical sense. But I don't necessarily feel lonely. Yes, there are moments when I feel I could just talk to someone. But He's always there waiting, waiting for me to come to Him with my problems though He already knows. It's the act of confiding in Him that brings me closer.
You ask me why I always seem to be blogging about God, always talking about Him. You say I'm spiritual, but it's more than that. Have you known something so good, so important, so liberating that you just felt like you needed to share it?
I talk about Him because He is my life. He has changed my life, made all things more beautiful, made life worth living, given me a purpose. It's the way people behave when they're in love. He means more to me than the world, than anything. Some people talk on and on about the guy they have a crush on or their boyfriends, but I talk about God.
He's the love of my life.
No one comes close. None but Jesus.
We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want to live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is...
Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
Everything to me
