i sing praises to your name

i just really wanna thank God for speaking to me and assuring me in some stuffs.
He has really been a great comfort during these few days, as well as during my trip.
well, wanna know more, you can always ask me in person.

and i don't know about you guys, but reading back through old entries in my spriritual journal can be a great source of ideas, wisdom, and reminders to me. haha, i might've not really pay attention to what i was journalling at that time, (well, cause sometimes when you do devotion, you can be really tired and unfocused kan), but when reading them back, they really do make sense! ;) some of the unusual ways God works.

anyway, here is a passage in the Bible which was like right on point for me.
*pause* suddenly thought of this wonderful song, God is the Strength of My Heart. it's a great song.=)

ok continue XD.

taken from Isaiah 51. vs 14-16

"The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; for they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread. For I am the Lord your God, who churns up the sea so that the waves roar-
the Lord Almighty is His name. I have put my words in my mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand- I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, "You are my people."

take from Isaiah 49

vs23 - Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not me disappointed.
vs25 - I will contend with those who contend with you..

Hope

So where you're gonna go from here
You've found yourself too lost with no purpose
You see a dead end
Or maybe an impossible roadblock

So where you're gonna go from here
You've found yourself distressed with no direction
You tried, you tried
But you lost a lead to follow

Chorus 1:

Put your hope in the Lord
Entrust all your fears into His hands

He's there to walk you
He's there to hold you
He's there to lead you out
Rescue you

Chorus 2:

He is our strength
He is our hope
He is our refuge

He is our joy
He is our light
He is our God


hope this blesses you. ;)
haha, will record it soon.
oi LEVA! pleasepleasepleaseplease post my videos. XD

ciao peeps;

    In Biblical times, God's people used to put up altars of stone to commemorate events i their life where God really worked.

    Now, journals :D
    Flipping back to the pages of my spiritual journals, it never ceases to amaze me how God was so real and at work in my life.

    Oh, and I love the verses!
    Waiting to hear the song ;)

First Love

Image
When I think about the topic mentioned above, all the bittersweet feelings and memories flood back. Well, people usually get all mushy talking about this, whether or not the outcome was good. I mean, isn't it something learning to love another person for the first time, someone who isn't blood-related? Someone who could be a complete stranger, as far as blood lines go?  For some incomprehensible reason, I just felt like writing about this. Probably because I never really addressed this matter personally in black and white. Maybe for most people, their first love came in the form of a girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, mine came in the form of a best friend. Yes, my first love could be all the more memorable. Memorable, I would say in the way that it taught me painful lessons. Painful but meaningful lessons. I guess I have said this many times, but  love is really loving the person even if he/she doesn't love you the same way .  Which basically goes to say, that lo

He's Not The One 2

^ The title above refers to a poem with the same title that I wrote back in high school. After church camp, my mind was opened a little to the notion that maybe, just maybe, he isn't the right one. I guess the past two years, I have been so caught up with my feelings in this un-burstable bubble that I could not view the whole situation in a more sensible fashion. Indeed, I was waiting for the time that I could step back and look at my problem from the outside. Camp was my chance. I was far from my source of misery, closer to other people  in general. The chance I got to meet some other friends in the past weeks has also helped me a lot and I'm so very thankful to the Lord for sending all these marvellous people. I got to look at my situation from a totally different point of view. They might not know it, but talking to the two awesome Js was quite a big help and release. And then there was my Kor and my favourite siblings . Haha, that's why currently I'm an advo
