my prayer for the new year.. that God will use me despite my fears and weaknesses.. i'm waiting to see how God can work in my life.. to purify me for my worklife in future..
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..
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
posted this song some time back.. thought it's pretty meaningful to post it again.. a reminder and encouragement to those in the midst of exams. really need to remember this. it's really my theme song for this exam. whenever i feel so crappy and discouraged, i'll listen to it and sing it..

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.
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.
by Dennis Jernigan 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.
