Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost,
but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
Amazing Race
Amazing Grace
whew! what a night ...
Control my speech, Lord ...
Hallelujah
Does God ever show His love through friends :D
Matthew 12:36 - "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken."
Now I shall guard my thoughts and heart.
Thanks Jon Chew, for being a microphone for God's voice last night ^^
I'm not a broken record anymore, no need for repeats ... right? hehe
I found this ...
saved from a past conversation ... I can't believe I had expressed something like it before. I wanted to look through this stuff again, simply because I was shopping in the mall today, waiting for the time to pass, and this song came up ... it was 'remixed' as most songs are nowadays .......... but it triggered so much emotion, so much memory. It involves 'stars' and 'going out in the city' and 'waiting for the sunrise' ........ mmm ... what a crazy weekend of different dynamic thoughts.
"Just that ... in finding something SO precious, so rich, so rare ... I guess bcuz of my paranoia, I've just been trying to tackle anything that could hinder, anything that could cause it to go wrong.
Bcuz I want it to be perfect. Not dented, tainted, strained...I understand that it's said that, mistakes or mishaps is what shapes something to be all the better. But even just the start of it all, I just want to reach that bliss.
What we have ... sorta requires of us to give ...
to expose
to accept
to build up
to learn
to experience
and also ...
to fall deeper
Sometimes things can be decieving, but that's when trust comes in and steps of faith. But we can't recieve, unless we give. And I know ... from past times, giving and then finding it wasn't the right choice ... it damages. That's where the fear settles in.
The doubt
the hesitation
but with these sort of things, we can't just get spoon fed everything.
We have to ... commit
to submit
to take initiative
and to make it our own.
To seek,
to confide,
and the list could go on ... that's what makes it such a beautiful thing.
Now why would you think I deserve ... whatever higher than I should be. No no, I settle for what's real.
You are real to me. and I trust that you've been real to me."
- Wow. *sigh* One of my more heart gripping ones.
Another one of my very favorites:
"I'm just looking out for you,
cause a tree might come up to you,
and ask to hug you
then if it does,
call me up,
and I'll come down and talk to it first."
"But some trees are ok to hug right away, like a young sappling,
they are bendy - like bamboo -
yea! oh I hope to have that dream some time."
It's interesting ... I think God really caused me to forget these little bits and pieces of things, but why do I must come back to them and remind my memories of them? why why why??
A song I could listen to forever, is Hillsong's "You are my World" <3
Frogs
Two frogs fell into a can of cream,
or so it has been told,
The sides of the can were shiny and steep,
the cream was deep and cold.
"Oh, what's the use," said number one,
"It's plain no help around,
Good-bye, my friend, good-bye, sad world."
and weeping while he drowned.
But number two, or sterner stuff,
dog paddled in surprise.
The while he licked his creamy lips
and blinked his creamy eyes.
"I'll swim at least for awhile," he thought,
or so it has been said.
It really wouldn't help the world
if one more frog were dead.
An hour or more he kicked and swam,
not once he stopped to mutter.
Then hopped out from the island he had
made of fresh churned butter.

That was from Intercessory Prayer, which I have just started reading again. I hope to finish the book for next week, so I can finally return it to its owner. Something else from it:
"We, on the other hand have mastered the art of one-liners in prayer, and think if we give God a two-hour service once a week, we're fairly spiritual. "Easy does it" might be good advice in a few situations, but for most of life, including prayer easy doesn't do it."
Luke 11:5-13 ... Perseverence in asking ... !
Don't be a drowning frog ...
Expression through words
I just can't do it anymore ... hehe
Sorry, my blog is temporarily malfunctioning at the moment, there is no input.
I love music. That could be an expression ...
Learning lots and experiencing a lot through these days of drama and dynamics.
Excellent is our Creator of all this; may we Honor our roles on this earth for You, and You only ...
To Get to Know You better ...
Anyone recognize this band that doesn't exist anymore? Hint: They wrote another song called "Masquerade"
