7 years of my life squished into boxes
I guess this will be my last blogpost from Farrer
:O

I think my mum's letting us write over all the walls when we leave (:
and my new room looks cool!
but back to the point,

paaaaack

life is good :p

I believe that God is my portion
I believe that my God is more than enough for me

Psalm 38
A psalm of David. A petition.
" 1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.

2 For your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down upon me.

3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;
my bones have no soundness because of my sin.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds fester and are loathsome
because of my sinful folly.

6 I am bowed down and brought very low;
all day long I go about mourning.

7 My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.

8 I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.

9 All my longings lie open before you, O Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
even the light has gone from my eyes.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;
my neighbors stay far away.

12 Those who seek my life set their traps,
those who would harm me talk of my ruin;
all day long they plot deception.

13 I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear,
like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;

14 I have become like a man who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.

15 I wait for you, O LORD;
you will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat
or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

17 For I am about to fall,
and my pain is ever with me.

18 I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin.

19 Many are those who are my vigorous enemies;
those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 Those who repay my good with evil
slander me when I pursue what is good.

21 O LORD, do not forsake me;
be not far from me, O my God.

22 Come quickly to help me,
O Lord my Savior."

and I know and I know and I know and I know and I know this to be my emotions
but my heart cries out all the same.

good stuff :)
sorry I didn't have time to say hi to all the saturday people
gomen!

sunday
hahaha, fuel was big and stoned
sleepiness getting to us a little? I dunno
but my buzz group rarely disappoints :)
service was awesome!
letting loose in praise

throwing off of the old, taking hold of the new
yep, let the word sink in

anyway, week's started off well

PE, ran 5 rounds, didn't eat breakfast
ouch.
thankful for glorious recess
heh, slept through most of physics
woke up 20 from the end of the lesson
answered the difficult question on the board
and then Jason Chan left the room 10 minutes early
yayyyyy

MPP debates are fun when yu're not the one debating :p

Psalm 27:14
"Wait upon the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait upon the Lord"

David wrote that Psalm as a man who had been through his fair share of storms
been through his battles, be they spiritual or physical
he wrote that as a man who knew that God always, always would come to his rescue
if he would hold on just a little longer, just a little
and when God came, He would always bring with Him triumph
the triumph we so desperately need sometimes

sometimes holding on is the only thing we need to do,
and often those moments are when holding on is the only thing we can do

triumph is on its way :)

physics, lang arts, history, IHS, MPP, chinese test
ow.

God be my portion,
because He's more than enough for me

whoooo, what a week

monday sailed by
CHINESE TEACHER AWAY FOR TWO WEEKS
1 part :O, 99 parts :D
and so started the week

tuesday went swimmingly

wednesday was slack

thursday was full panic mode
heh, really, if I SOMEHOW do well for chinese oral, its really by the grace of God

friday was droopy-lidded
MPP debates are painful on the brain

walk the path ahead

& when you can hardly find it inside of you even to stand under all that is upon your shoulders
press on
because His name is power
His voice is thunder
His heart is tender
and His hand is strong

chains be broken
lives be healed
eyes be opened
Christ is revealed

launch service!
its been a crazy, crazy weekend :)
but I believe God's shown Himself real in both the services
saturday and sunday
and I believe there's alot more to come :)
heh, and the wall at the back will come down

I think my God deserves so much, so much more than what I am now
He deserves better
I can be better
I will be better

MUN is overrrr
press corps is the best :D
if you were there at any time during the MUN, you'll understand ;)

I think I've blogged lots of times on what I think is the best feeling in the world
scratch that all
I've decided, firmly, on what is the best feeling
its simple
being there when someone feels God's presence
its not about when I feel god's presence, because I can get that as often as I want
but to see your words and encouragement allow someone else to feel god's presence
the gift comes back a hundred-fold

I <3 being God's mouthpiece

launch service people :)
let's have fun and rock the house down!

do I worry about you?
you have no idea

I just wish people would stop trying to do things on their own strength
and learn that you can only do things the right way
if you let God do them.

thought of the day:
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33
what it means:
Jesus is the only necessity. Everything else is an add-on
the verse doesn't say 'all these things shall be supplied to you' or 'all these things will be given to you' simply because its not necessary!
God is the cake.
Everything else is the topping.

Isaiah 53:1-6 (The Message)

"Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?

The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field.

There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look.

He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.

One look at him and people turned away.

We looked down on him, thought he was scum.

But the fact is, it was our pains he carried— our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.

We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures.

But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!

He took the punishment, and that made us whole.

By His stripes we are healed."




You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

My Healer, You're my Healer

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands



The anointing that this song carries
4 seconds in I felt goosebumps
less than a minute and I teared

nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need



Listen up world
I cannot say that I have even begun this journey of my life
I can't say that I've traveled very far in this journey
but this I know
no matter what I have lost
if I still have my salvation
if I still believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me
if I still believe that the Holy Spirit is walking beside me every day of my life
if I still believe in God

I haven't lost anything of real importance.

even if I have no money
no wealth
no clothes
no food
no water
no matter how badly, how deep in yogurt I am

if I still call Jesus Christ "Lord"

then I haven't lost anything of real importance.

so listen up world
I have my God
and I have nothing else to fear

yes, this is for all you little miss worst-case-senarios
the little miss sinking-feeling and the little mister I-miss-you
the many little miss I-am-so-tired and the little mister I-feel-emo
and the mister I-doubt

if you believe that this is God's plan, God's best plan for you
then cast your cares upon him
and TRUST HIM.

say with me
"Jesus,



I believe."

end transmission.

weekend, don't leave me!
oh wait, youth day
joy :D

HPMG was awesomeness
yes indeed, the fun barrels were broken into and spilled over
like a river of fun
thank's all you awesome awesome people that voted for our video :D
SEALS!
yea :D
and good job to all those who hosted :)

I'm bored.
and blogging waaay too often

quantity, not quality
at least right now

completely misjudged the time for the MG MEP thing
ah well, for the best I guess

graaaawr

to love is to give
and to give
is to live

just came back from dance night
I'm no critic of dance
so I won't pretend to be one
but on all of my accounts, it was really good

anyway, HPMG tomorrow
yea!
break out the fun barrels :D

finished Icewind Dale
really, a good story

my life is borrriing
I slept way too much this afternoon
wake up, eat breakfast, watch tv, sleep, eat lunch, sleep, wake up again, rush down to dance night, go home, sleep

that's my plan, at any rate

rethinking going for the MEP thing tomorrow
ah well, see how lah

I slept and I dreamt
dreamt dreams I would never allow myself to

and when I woke up my heart broke anew.

ah, MUN, what joy you bring me
press corps tag is like a pass to freedom
you can pretty much go anywhere, do anything you like
people just assume that you're on official business
seriously, kev tan went to get a drink from the SAC in the middle of a lecture and nobody said anything about it :p

joy!

weekend, what joy you bring

I want my sleep.

sitting in my boat
as the storm rages on
but I've come to know
peace
the kind that comes when you stop struggling

jeremiah 29:12-14
"12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity."

Hear that?
chase God, seek God, with all your heart

Luke 15:20
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."

run after Him

and when you seek Him, when you chase God
as you approach Him, as you draw near to Him



He draws near to you

even while you're a long way off
He'll run to you as you run back to Him

however much you know of, or have experienced the love of the Father
today, experience it again

Jeremiah 17: 9
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"

trust in Him and Him alone
because the heart lies,
and doing things your way often ends up worse than you think.

there is a faith proved of more worth than gold
so refine me Lord through the flame.

niii, school is draining

my awesome IOP presentations

loading the I heart revolution into my mp3 was a good decision, although tearing on buses in the morning is hardly flattering ;)

still, I'm a fool for Christ :D

awesome IOP presentations
I have a picture of a trench bear!
:D
don't ask, won't tell
very cute though

its the most infuriating situation in the world
god's just helping me take off the burdens that I had laid myself with
and He's just saying, again and again, let me.

I think too often we focus on the 'let go' part and not enough on the 'let God' part
we can't take the burden's off ourselves, we ask God to help us to

a giant, delicate tower
I want to do something about it, but He says again, just rest gid
life is a marathon, not a sprint
He knows I want to do something about it
and He knows what I do will just make things worse

with the fists pounding against the doors
with the skin raw and red
with the single tear brimming over

I let Him take over

by all accounts, I'm not, and will never be, strong enough to take those burdens

so I will find my rest
in Christ alone
and let grace carry me through

on another note
I WANT TO WATCH THE FOLLOWING:
1. Hancock (looks awesome)
2. The Dark Knight
"some people just want to watch the world burn"
sort of a homage to Heath Ledger. From the trailers I've seen, he's got his joker laughter down to perfection
really, just spine chilling
3. Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
did you know it opens in Singapore before anywhere else in the world?
or so says han jie
because apparently it opens in the Us on the 11th and in Singapore on the 10th
previewwwww

the recipe's in place
all we need now is a little time

we run this race not on our own might, nor on our own strength
but on His spirit.
