There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.


O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.


needing to go to the place near to the heart of God..

You are so faithful
Like the sun that rises everyday,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the rain that You send,
And every breath that I breathe,
You are so faithful, Lord

Like the rose that comes alive every spring,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the life that You give,
to every beat of my heart,
You are so faithful, Lord.

I see the cross and the price You had to pay,
I see the blood that washed my sins away.
In the midst of the storm
through the wind and the waves,
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You'll still be faithful,
You'll still be faithful, Lord.

Be still, my soul, be still, my soul
Cease from the labour and the toil
Refreshing springs of peace await
To troubled minds and hearts that ache
Be still, my soul-God knows your way
And he will guide for his name's sake
Plunge in the river of his grace
Rest in the arms of his embrace

Be still, my soul, be still, my soul
Though battles 'round you rage and roar
One thing you need and nothing more
To hear the whisper of you Lord:
"Be still, my child - I know your way
And I will guide for my name's sake
Plunge in the rivers of my grace
Rest in the arms of my embrace"


yes, i really need to rest.. thankful for the upcoming retreat where i'll be resting (well, most of the time).. and the times of reflection we would have.. i wanna come away refreshed and to prepare to start sch..

Show me the way of the cross once again
Denying myself for the love that I’ve gained
Everything’s You now, everything’s changed
It’s time You had my whole life
You can have it all

Yes I resolve to give it all
Some things must die, some things must live
Not ‘what can I gain’, but ‘what can I give’
If much is required when much is received
Then You can have my whole life
Jesus, have it all

I’ve given like a beggar but lived like the rich
And crafted myself a more comfortable cross
Yet what I am called to is deeper than this
It’s time you had my whole life
You can have it all


this song came to my mind today.. it's been a long time since i've made the commitment.. sometimes i wonder..

-by Michael Card

Trust in Me, Keep your life free
From what the love of money will do
Am I not enough for you?

Never will I leave you, That's something I'll never do
Forever remember that it's true
Never will I leave you

And when you fear, The scars and tears
Remember what I have sworn
I'll be with you through the storm

Never will I leave you, That's something I'll never do
Forever remember that it's true
Never will I leave you

And when you fear,
That's when I'm near
Your soul's security
Oh, when will you believe?

Never will I leave you
That's something I'll never do
Forever remember that it's true
Never will I leave you
Never will I leave you

Hide me now under Your wings
Cover me within Your mighty hand.

When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with You above the storm.
Father, You are King over the flood.
I will be still and know You are God.

Find rest my soul in Christ alone.
Know His power in quietness and trust.



God has provided what i really need and not what i want. Thank You, Lord.
am encouraged. God loves me.


interesting phrases.. how true! :)
- Give God what is right-- and not left.
- Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Rules for Christian Households
18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

21Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Never will I leave you (Hebrews 13:5)
-Michael Card

Trust in Me, Keep your life free
From what the love of money will do
Am I not enough for you?

Never will I leave you, That's something I'll never do
Forever remember that it's true
Never will I leave you

And when you fear, The scars and tears
Remember what I have sworn
I'll be with you through the storm

Never will I leave you, That's something I'll never do
Forever remember that it's true
Never will I leave you

And when you fear,
That's when I'm near
Your soul's security
Oh, when will you believe?

Never will I leave you
That's something I'll never do
Forever remember that it's true
Never will I leave you
Never will I leave you


help me Lord, trust You. even in times like these.

In His time
In His time, in His time,
He makes all things beautiful, in His time,
Lord, please show me everyday,
As You're teaching me Your way,
That You do just what You say, in Your time.

In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful, in Your time.
Lord, my life to Your I bring,
May each song I have to sing,
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.



let go. let God.

Wider than the ocean, deeper than the sea
Stronger than the strongest wind that there could ever be
Sweeter than a love song, tender as can be
Is my Father's love for me.

You are strength in weakness, joy when I am sad.
When this life bring sorrow, you are there to make me glad.
You are every answer to every question asked.
You are who I cling to then there's nothing left to grasp.


Wider than the ocean, deeper than the sea
Stronger than the strongest wind that there could ever be
Sweeter than a love song, tender as can be
Is my Father's love for me.

You are light in darkness, peace in stormy winds.
When I need to laugh or cry, you are a faithful friend.
When my heart is hurting, you sing my heart a song.
Near your heart is home to me, sweet home where I belong.


Wider than the ocean, deeper than the sea
Stronger than the strongest wind that there could ever be
Sweeter than a love song, tender as can be
Is my Father's love for me.

comfort. more than anything else.
it hasn't been an easy week. memories keep resurfacing at times when i least expect and sometimes i wonder how long it'll take for them to go away. but i really thank God for the reminders that He has been sending.

Thought that I was all alone, broken and afraid
But You were there with me, You were there with me
And I didn't even know that I had lost my way
But you were there with me,
Yes, you were there with me

Until you opened up my eyes, I never knew
That I couldn't ever make it without You

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
And after all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God


As I travel on the road that You have led me down
You are here with me, yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

And I confess from time to time I lose my way
But You are always there to bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behindBut of all I've had what I've possessed
Nothing can quite compare with what's in front of me
With what's in front of me


Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
And after all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain

one down, 4 more to go
status: can't wait for it to end.

anat's finally over.. i hope i'll pass.. thought it was quite okay.. but to my horror when i double checked my answers, i realised that i made so many stupid mistakes!! :(:( 50 marks can be lost so easily.. there's a high risk of failing again.. but i guess i dun really want it to affect me.. already committed the whole exam into His hands so i'll leave it to Him.. but i can't get rid of this sick feeling.. been sick the pass few weeks.. my throat is so sore and it's so jia lat.. :( must get well before attachment.. maybe i should go see the doc again.
feeling quite mood swing-ish this week.. but i really thank God cux i'm reminded time and time again to rely on God.. been clinging onto 2 Cor 12:9-10 this whole studying and all.. i really want God to be glorified thru this whole process.

people i've promised to meet up with but haven't done so..
-samantha
-siew ling (bbss)
-becky
-shannon
-louisa

been having lots of songs stuck in my head.. mag's musical song was stuck in my head for so long.. You are special song.. actually it's only the last line.. cux we're your creations and we are loved.. :) was listening to the songs in my phone today while waiting for my sis cux i was super sian.. then i heard this song we sang in NM.. it's quite amazing cux my chinese is so terrible and to have that song stuck in my head is amazing.. think i only mastered less than 10 chinese songs.. haha.. but this is super meaningful.. esp the chorus.. God is indeed able to do far more than we can ever imagine.

全新的你
你說陰天代表你的心情
雨天更是你對生命的反應
你說每天生活一樣平靜
對於未來沒有一點信心

親愛朋友 你是否曾經
曾經觀看滿天的星星
期待有人了解你心
能夠愛你賜你力量更新

耶穌能夠叫一切都更新
耶穌能夠體會你的心情
耶穌能夠改變你的曾經
耶穌愛你 耶穌疼你
耶穌能造一個全新的你
