It's You and me now.

It's You and me now.

I was praying that day..and was prompted to pick up my pen and write. and this was what came out.

Dear Lord, come and dwell in me
How beautiful is Your name
How magnificent is Your grace
Creator of all heaven and earth
the works of Your hands exudes with fullness of Your beauty

Jesus, I want to be like You
To be strong and holy
To give my all and live for You

Jesus, no words can describe my gratefulness
No acts can redeem my worth
But only through You, that I am made whole

Many times I tried
I thought I was strong
Through it all
It's Your love that survived on
I was foolish
I was blind
A love so unfailing, I can't believe I missed
But then it doesn't matter

It's me and You now.
It's me and You now.

Together we storm the seas
Spirit to Spirit, stride to stride
In this perfect love, there is no fear at all, at all
Together we dare to risk
Faith to faith, glory to glory
In this perfect love, there is no fear at all, at all

It's You and me now.

I thank him for this. Every single day with Him is just surprises after one another. He surprised me with this poem. Indeed He is the creative Spirit, Elohim.

all in the name of fun.

all in the name of fun.

A weekend of fun helped me understand myself better.
Singing away into the wee hours, when the rest of Singapore is asleep.
We laughed, we sang, we screamed, we danced...and drank**
Kept awake by the medication of happy atmosphere
Our bodies pushed to the limit yet our hearts rose to the occasion
it was more than a birthday, like a celebration of friendship after all

Crazy stunts we did, stupid acts we laughed ourselves at
performed to while the hours of boredom,
I climbed out of the windows, getting high on viewing Orchard Rd below

literally

grace was really not in my head then.

The drinks depleted, vibrance faded, faces wasted
leaving the place where another man's sleeping time was spent extravagantly
we roamed the cold street, which it brewed with much life in the day
we waited. to catch the first train, as the fatigue rumbled within.

Our hopes were shattered when the train arrived with its many passengers
We then realised, our foolishness, compared to these who were working the night away.
Sleep was really catching up on us, we were just stops away before we fignt no more.
We gave our goodbyes and wished the boy happy birthday.
We went our separate ways and I was alone again, like before I met them the night before.

The dawn broke as I walked a peaceful walk home.
A pang rose in my stomach. Not of hunger, but of the Spirit.
A sense of conviction, accompanied with grief.
All this, in the name of fun,
they laughed, they sang, they screamed, they danced...and drank
til all consciousness of reality is put away

Could they do this forever?

**Yes, I took a few sips of alcohol before realising I am not 18 yet.
All because I'm used to drinking with my family at home.
Don't worry, I have told my cellgroup leader about it and
I have gone through discipleship. =)
I've taken up the challenge to not take alcohol at all, even at home.

Yeah, I had fun, but it was meaningless, cept the part about spending time together and appreciating one another.
Nevertheless, here are some shots of our happy moments..

this is so SHE. ughh.


BOYCOTT ALCOHOL!

sha la la. I think thats all. I just want to be holy child of God.

Time to repay the debt of love

Time to repay the debt of love

I feel that for the past few weeks or even months, I have been like a living zombie. Going through day to day, completing tasks to tasks, meeting people and stuff, and yet, I don't feel fruitful. Though it has been really a priviledge to keep myself busy by serving God - going for choir practice, doing follow up on cell group members, making cards for new friends, making mallets for upcoming live recording and so forth, it did not feel fulfilling at all. There's something inside screaming for more.
And then I realised why I feel like a living zombie.
I did not put in any effort to build relationships with the people around me. That's why everything felt dry.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you..."

I need to learn to forsake my needs and desires and submit to this holy commandment. Love without any worries.
Sometimes we are afraid to love, because of our past rejections and hurts.

Nevertheless, the bible says that we are debtors of love. Romans 13:8 "Owe no one anything except to love one another."

Friends and family, sorry for not being showing more concern or giving you my time. Sorry if I appeared to be disinterested in anyway.
I really love all the people around me. But people don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care!
I need to sow into more lives.
