Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
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 that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

"I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me—and I in him—bears much fruit,
because apart from me you can accomplish nothing." -John 15 :1,5
may my heart chase after you all the days of my life.
(i need a purple highlighter!)
praise to God for a Living Hope!
and "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you" (1 Peter 1:4)
"In this you may greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - maybe proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed...the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls." -1 Peter 1:6-9
when life seems to be sucking you in,
to the point where its feels like you're curling up into a tight ball,
with barely any breathing space,
brighten up,
because our goal is eventually something higher, and greater than what the world can ever give.
everything is prepared for our arrival in heaven,
just for us. something eternal.
how often we look for something stable in our lives,
only to realize change is the only constant.
i was just moaning about law school,
how i live in denial and procrastinate all day,
which results in me sinking into the abysses of hopelessness, and impending doom.
what if i can't live through these 4 years, not say this term even.
but God tells me these are the trials that are going to part of my mortal days,
and faith will bring me through.
perhaps i should start polishing my gears and get them moving,
let God be the engine of my life.
if there's anything i can be sure of, it's God.

i thank you Lord.
for everything in my life now.
church, school, friends... they make up my life right now.
(it's pretty sad how family isn't inside)
church is something i look forward to every week, somehow,
something pretty unexpected for me.
now that cell group has started,
and i have so many lovely sheep under me,
plus more, that seem to love following me,
i feel responsible for them. i love them alot, too. (:
i'm so happy our church is growing, really.
maybe it doesnt have to be in numbers, YET.
but i believe that we need to grow and be stable spiritually first,
and then, we can reach out to the world.
i look forward, and anticipate.
i have a little dream.
i want to influence the people around me,
and i hope i can be a blessing to them.
i want to make a difference in this world.
i feel as if i'm shining from the inside,
i know i'm made of something very different from others.
and that makes me proud.
suddenly i think about it.
and i realize God answered 0.5 of my birthday wish.
maybe he answered out, but 0.5 is substantial, for now.
he blessed my church.
but i know with the upcoming renovations and fund-raising,
we need more faith and blessings.
i trust.
my prayer today: bring t,l,h to church tmr. (:
