worship You alone

Your faithfulness never fails
Your faithfulness everyday
You're the same

Unfailing love sets me free
Unfailing love, You lead me
With Your hand

And all I know is Your arms around me
Your face is all that I seek
Your love and grace pick me up and hold me
You alone are holy

You alone are great in power
You alone are my strong tower
And I will lift my heart and soul
To worship You alone

You alone are my desire
You have set my heart on fire
And I will lift my heart and soul
To worship You alone
To worship You alone

And I will follow after You
For You are my desire
Oh Jesus, my heart belongs to You

My Saviour, My God

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior

I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is,My God He's always gonna be...

Yes living dying let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my king
Once died to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is,My God He's always gonna be...

This is a song sent by Sam and from Yin. I think it is a very meaningful song in many many ways. In the midst of trials and difficulties, my God will always be with me. This time, it is really not easy to go by. As hard as it is, as difficult as it is, i believe that God, You're with me.

Who will rescue me, who can set me free. Behind the cross, I am lost.

once again.. home.

Hey! :D

Yay, i'm finally home once again. It is pretty tiring to travel around like that. This trip to indonesia was like ULTRA tiring but i enjoyed it in a subtle manner. I think through it all, it is really about faith and believing that He holds the whole world in His hands.

Going back to indonesia this time round was really tiring because of the many reasons. Yet I did enjoy myself. Spent a lot of time with my aunties and uncle, two cousins, my mum's godsister's family and of cos my grandparents. Finally got to meet my grandfather after a relatively long time. So it was pretty fun. Also, my grandfather has finally once again decided to return to Singapore. I finally persuaded him to come back. The reason behind his return might not be the best, but at least after this, with him closer in sight will make me feel safer.

Since i had heaps of time in Indonesia, I finally got down to reading my book. I think the book is pretty good. It talks about brokeness, it talks about betray and many issues that women and the church today face. As i was reading the book, i really thought that it spoke to me in many ways. So going to indonesia allowed God to speak to me because i'm finally away from all the technology and people! :D

Ah.. Friends, friends, friends. I wonder why it's such an issue. If we can all just overlook each other's flaws and weaknesses like how Jesus overlooked ours, wont life be way easier than it is at the moment?

Searching to get a car now. So if there's anything, please get back to me. I'm more interested in a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla! Thanks.

undignified 08!

hey! :D

yep! we had undig 08 this year! :D God was in the house! my prayer for the church and myself is that undig will not just an event we have once a year. but let us truly be undignified each and everyday of our lives for the ONLY ONE who deserve this.

hmm, i always think that blessed be Your name is a really meaningful song. although it was really meaningful to me, only today did i realised what it really means. this song talks about no matter what the situation or circumstances are, we still can say blessed be Your name. and to me, i really look up to the people who can do that.

God always has a greater purpose, He always has a bigger picture. i guess this is what we all as humans and useless bums need to rmb. heh.

alrighty. decision is final. i'm going back to perth! WOOHOO. joy! :D after the crazily long hours of thinking, crazily long hours of uncertainty, God showed me the way! it became even clearer when my university of sydney's offer came on the day i paid my tuition fees for UWA! hahah.

so yep! :D perth it is. now, i need to get my visa done! but that aside, cell breakfast tmr. woohoo! :D

love

2008

hey! :D

yeahh. i'm back! woohoo. haha. first post of the year! :D and this blog actually survived through 07! although not many posts in between, IT'S NOT TOO BAD! :D haha.

08 didnt really start off very well. i was really excited when we were counting down for 08 during watchnight service and went all high after that too! haha. then i fell sick and stayed at home for like 3 days straight. haha. until fang woke me up by saying, can you stop being such a bum. he said it in a nicer manner of cos. haha. so in the end, i left the house on friday! yay me. haha.

received a msg from someone at like 1am in the morning on new year's and the msg had something to do with bubble tea! haha. made me pretty happy, but then i started to crave for bubble tea! haha. singapore doesnt have good bubble tea places! which is so sad! the ones in perth are WAY better! haha.

anw, random talk aside. i think 07 was a fantastic year. super a lot of ups and downs. but God showed me how faithful He really is and His faithfulness truly never fails. for the year ahead, although the 4 days that have past were crap. so many things happened within these 4 days, from an urgent call back to indonesia, hence rushing to get all the tickets. but in a couple of hours, i don't have to go back anymore to booking air tickets and changing flights and what not. i think these 4 days have been trying. yet in all these, i know God has a plan that is far greater than what i can imagine. although i was sick and had to stay at home, i thought being at home was pretty good. at least i managed to settle some stuff. if i went out, it'd probably not be settled or i'd probably be settling them while i'm out. so not too nice for the person i'm out with. haha.

God has truly been faithful. these times are not easy to handle. but i know my God holds my future and i have nothing to worry about.
