Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

"I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" (Psalm 116:1-2 NLT).
One way to worship God is to talk to Him.When you really love somebody you don't just want to spend time with that person, you want to talk with him or her, also. Think about two teenagers falling in love; they're on the phone all the time.
They talk and talk and talk. They're getting to know each other. That's how you get to know someone—through communication. If your spouse never, ever talks to you, you have every reason to start wondering, "Do they love me?
"And that's why we show God we love Him when we talk to Him. What do you talk to God about during this kind of worship? Anything that you'd talk to your best friend about: your hopes, your fears, your dreams, your anxieties, the things you're proud of, the things you're ashamed of, your goals, your ambitions, your hurts, your cares, every part of your life. You come to God and you talk to God about anything and everything.
The Bible says, "I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" (Psalm 116:1-2 NLT). If you don't feel close to God, there's a simple remedy for that: start talking to Him! He has invited you to talk with Him; He wants to talk with you. Prayer is not some duty that you have to do. It's a privilege that you get to do. You get to talk to the Creator of the universe.You may be saying, "I'd like to have more prayer time with God. I'd like to talk to God. I just don't have the time." Then you're too busy. You'll never have the time; you must make the time to pray. If your Christian life has become routine, dull, and joyless, then take that to God and talk to Him.
Apart from this , I love listening to hillsong's god of the city because it really says about we as city dwellers , we are packed with our daily chores and work such that we can't find time for god , let alone sabbeth. I have seen many christians using it as an excuse again and again, but there is always a step to start planning a slot of your time to spend with god. This song truly shows how god can work in city dwellers lives, especially the verse
'Greater things have yet to come Greater things are still to be done In this city Greater things have yet to come And greater things are still to be done here'
God is around us , its us that is distaning away from him and allowed him to do greater things in our lives.
Love stephen nick too:
Its easy to pack your life with things ,but its not easy to unpack it.
Its always easy to packed your life with things, but u wana slow down or removed them from your life , it's not easy to do so because of committment etc. This is when u need god, by talking to him about all the troubles in your live.

Its finally the holidays! Oh man! I screwed up my UT yesterday, its so hard and its the part when I dun expected to be tested. AHHHHH! Nvm its over. Hope it can a lesson for me in the future. I actually thought this week was a week with have mix feeling on, sweet and sour ( cnt be bitter hahaha). CG on weds is very cool, games we had a modified version of indian poker with some mathematics involved and its tricky too. Praise though used it many times but cool cos very long nv had 1 , discussion sermon luke lead it pretty well and its pretty cool. Blood donation drive personally felt that it is pretty ok with a high response level though at certain points the crowd seems to be uncontrollable. Very happy to see teresa and weixian come down n donate blood though weixian in the end is test for bone marrow and teresa cos the nurse cant find her vein so cnt donate . Haiz. UTs felt that nv do my best and wana do well for the project management UT ,though I dun really like the module after taking it.

Thanks god! Finally I have ended today! Today is a real challenge to me as I have quite a big blow yesterday( some people may know), which I feared that will affect my performance today. Therefore, today morning I seek god and pray to him about the strength to deal with the hectic day I had today. Basically, for the 1st half of the day I am away in Football association of Singapore, to walk around the premises and to listen how the NSA operate. Nothing much there except for some info which was mentioned by the media manager there. Probably if it was environmental education, I will enjoy field trip more, perhaps its the way sports administration was protrayed to me as a rigid and serious module which I will not associate to field trips at all.
After which, I did the presentation of NSA, my module project which we have to do for every 5 weeks based on our problems that we learnt. I have to say that I simply smoked through today cos I found myself finding info which overlap with other teammates. =( . The slides that I presented is shared with another teammate and also do just before the presentation started.
And UT, I think today's ut really make us think a lot , especially qs on why logging cause increase in malaria, and also biophilia , how can we actually enhance on that on ourselves and why we lack of that. I have to say that I dun find my answers that fantastic cos I dun have time to double check though its 45 mins nw for UT. I find myself thinking a lot for that and I really hope that god can help me with my UT which I also hope the faci can accept my point of view too for the answers.

OMG! I had a very rush day last saturday. Ok , first of all sorry for the late post because have been busy with school. Yup. First of all,in the morning, I went cycling with huili and chau wei. It is such a tiring experience and probably my worse experience in ECP. However, it is a enjoyable experience riding with them. We cycle from 12 till 4 and from ecp all the way till changi beach park. We saw planes taking off!!! cool! How I wish to be on one of them, riding on a plane to bahamas! Gosh.... craving again. However, some problems along the way, huili bike have problem with the seat and the handles, which cause her to stop n ride for a couple of times nd we had to change bikes every now and then , which cause us to end quite late. The person actually charge us extra 10 dollars cos we overide 2 hrs which is good as in fact we have to pay 10 dollar extra each. And I was super late for meeting with cedric! So rush went home change n go its already 5.15 pm! And all the ushers have left excpet cedric,very patient leader man for waiting for me I thought I will get all the remarks and I am the one parnicking except ced, so calm! Therefore, we bought everything and went for svc. Sat service on mother's day. Actually for me, I do not had any hard feelings because I am not closed with my family at all so I brought a empty heart there. I have to say that certain number of things mentioned is kinda true on me, the way I relate with people and my character is influenced by my parents , especially my mum , who is in fact good at listening people problem also and a very self efficacy person. Put aside that , I told god that day that 2 years of coldness towards my mum is really enough, cos I always feel miserable whenever I face them. In the past, I choose to close one eye for my parents judgements on me, however, I fail to see their love for me. I have to say that my parents are the type of people who dun show things on the outside , therefore sometimes misunderstanding come out cos people always judge from the outside. I wrote a card for her and planned to give her soon , not on mother's day cos of various reasons ( based on my mum character, hard to give on mum day). And I gave my designated cards to victor n ruth, really god grace, I thought I cnt finished in time ! I have to say that this time round is not well planned , a lot of loopholes here and there , very last minute, delegation of job not done( based on my personality , I need to learn to be a team worker). I have to further develop my planning skills yeah. WHAT A HECTIC DAY. and my legs are aching n cracking then!

Hey guys! As some of you may know, I have been doing some reading recently and I fell upon this section of a book call' becoming who god intended' which is call the mood cycle. An awesome book, I can lend whoever wants to read.
We guys all know how emotions are in our lives, they are part of us, human, the way we think ,we act , we relate and so on. It also creates the ' internal weather' within us . There are 2 kinds of emotions , good emotions and negative emotions. according to logic, positive emotion will be harder to sin , whereas negative emotions will be easier to tame to sin cos of unmanaged emotions. Thus, this is how the mood cycle works, first of all there will be a strong negative emotion(mood) within u which cause u to have the desire which is 'pull' by something' and thus lastly cause us to sin. One very simple example, first of all when u r playing a computer game such as'l4d' , however, u keep losing, which cause u to be in bad mood(emotions), then you saw your baby sister who is crying badly in the room beside (desire) and u went over to scold him( sin).
According to paul, galatians 5:24 ' those who belong to christ jesus have crucified the flesh as a way of life with its passions, or moods, and desires'. As christians, we all know that the work of the flesh is sin and god has died for us to cleanse it. However, flesh has powerful weapons call desire and passion( which is emotion). Therefore, it really links to the 1st point I made, emotions is part of human, not of god.
Why do I think the mood cycle is important? The reason is that according to the book, a lot of christians overemphasis on lust and keep praying on that however it normally wont works, the desire to sin keeps coming back. Why? the reason is the underlying emotion is still there to' inspire' us to sin. And often, this emotion is hard to realise. Take for example some group of christians, as time goes by, they met with a lot of problems in church and this cause disappointment in their hearts and some of them did not realise it as a problem but keep pondering over , until a point when they actually left church.
Therefore, with careful address of emotions , it will be easy to cast away desires of the flesh and sin subsequently. So people, are u having negative thoughts today about someone? Ask god about it and seek help from your people that u r closed to. With positive emotions, nothing can rule u except god.

Hey guys! I have created a new blog as my old blog is currently dead and I am very lazy to change the blog skin or update posts there. However, most importantly is that I want to find back the habit of consistent blogging as a pathway to show how I as a person felt and also share certain lessons I learnt along the way of my life.
A phrase found on daphne's blog is very useful "But some, often used their blog to emo and throw very trashy thoughts into this public space irresponsibly. They even used it to flame others in a very ungentlemanly and unchristlike manner. I hope to advocate a better way and to change that."I have the same feeling too, now technology is so advance, blog hopping is becoming a hobby for many teenagers , especially u n I . However, it won't be good if you post something bad about that day because who knows u r going to influence a dozen of people with that particular idea and make them further away from christ? Therefore, it is useful to post knowledgeable stuff as a way of learning useful stuff.
I hope this can be a new start with my walk with god and his renewal in me. And I will consistent blog too =) hehe
