Let the whole world sing Your praise
Let creation bow down before You
You've got my whole world in Your hands
Let my heart sing a song of freedom

My heart's abandoned to Your name
Light of the whole world livin' in me
Let the nations resound for You, Lord
To see salvation here on the earth, here on the earth

You are the God of all my dreams
I'll follow You and everything
I have is Yours, it's Yours
I'm living life for You and my world will never be the same

I'm living for you, God
So all will see Your kingdom come
And nothing in this world is gonna stop now
It won't hold me down

My Love Will Get You Home- Christine Glass

2009-10-14T14:03:00.007+08:00

If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
When there's only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home,
Boy, my love will get you home.

Sun Ho- Fancy Free Lyrics

listened by ear. may be inaccurate. unsure lyrics in red

S . U . N

Woke up feeling like a millionaire
Walking down the street
With the wind in my hair
All the boys there say I look so good
No I'm not cocky but I knew that they would

Cos everywhere I go
My life is party
I don't have to worry
The sun still keeps shining at me
Look how it's shining at me

You can't tell me nothing
Look up cos I'm coming
The street is my runway
And everyone's looking at me
All of their eyes are on me
And I

I feel so beautiful (lovely)
Can't no one tell me no (it's free)
My life's a circus show (it's lovely)
No matter where I go (it's free)

di di dididi
didi di dididi
di di dididi di-i
di di dididi
didi di dididi
di di dididi di-i

Feels just like I'm on a shooting star
Make my wish to be a superstar
If I'm wrong and dreams don't come true
I'll just make today what I wanna do

Cos everywhere I go
My life is party
I don't have to worry
The sun still keeps shining at me
Look how it's shining at me

You can't tell me nothing
Look up cos I'm coming
The street is my runway
And everyone's looking at me
All of their eyes are on me
And I

I feel so beautiful (lovely)
Can't no one tell me no (it's free)
My life's a circus show (it's lovely)
No matter where I go (it's free)

I feel so beautiful (lovely)
Can't no one tell me no (it's free)
My life's a circus show (it's lovely)
No matter where I go (it's free)

Have your say, you can't break my high
You should join me on my carpet ride
Let's play
Would you say
Say yea, yeaa, yeaaa, yeaaa

It's so easy
See, that's your problem right there
You're too cool
I'm just trying to have fun
Stop worrying so much
And just follow me

I feel so beautiful (beautiful)
Can't no one tell me no (tell me no)
My life's a circus show (circus show)
No matter where I go (it's free)

fruits of the Spirit

2009-06-26T01:40:00.002+08:00

The Fruits Of The Spirit

by Rev Kong Hee

Posted: 24 Jun 2009 09:00 AM PDT

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

Following the list of 17 works of the flesh-which, if practiced, will prohibit us from inheriting the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:19-21)-are the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. There is a need for balance between the gifts and the fruits of the Spirit. In a direct reference to Charismatics, Jesus warns, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness’” (Matt. 5:21-23). The gifts of the Spirit are neither substitutes for the fruits of the Spirit nor an excuse to despise the laws of God. Ultimately, “you will know them by their fruits …

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire” (Matt. 7:16, 19). The nine fruits of the Spirit are developed and brought to perfection through contrasting and opposing forces. Jesus says, “Every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit” (John 15:2). Through severe trials and bitter life experiences, God prunes and purges us to bring forth fruit, more fruit, and much fruit. How are they developed?

(1) Love is cultivated through loving those who hate, spitefully use and persecute you.

(2) Joy is developed by those who pass through the valley of Baca (sorrow) and make it a spring.

(3) Peace comes to maturity when you cast your cares on Jesus in the midst of confusion.

(4) Longsuffering can only be formed through overcoming very long and arduous trials.

(5) Kindness shines forth in the midst of the rude, uncouth, ungrateful and unthankful.

(6) Goodness manifests amongst the wicked with their cruel and deceitful acts.

(7) Faithfulness is at its best when confronted by the failure and betrayal of those we trust the most.

(8) Gentleness is developed when confronted by anger to which one does not respond to.

(9) Self-control is the discipline you exercise as you are tempted by unrestrained lust, passions and desires.f

dear friend

2009-06-25T15:22:00.007+08:00

dear friend :)

when you read these words,

chances are that i'll be sitting here thinking of you,

as i so often do.

when thoughts of you come my way,

when you read these words,

i hope you'll think,

just for a moment,

how much you mean to me,

and how much you always will.

And when you continue on

with the things you need to be doing in your day,

smile a smile for me,

and remember that i'll be thinking of you still

you needed me

2009-06-21T02:12:00.001+08:00

You Needed Me
Anne Murray

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

Chorus
You gave me strength

To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

ah. i love this song. right time right season man!

just a silly song. if u walk into the alley

2009-06-05T12:46:00.002+08:00

何維健 Derrick Hoh -

If You Walk Into The Alley

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTfr-hR0qe0

If you walk into the alley,
And you see a bunch of cats
Don't be afraid
They're just chasing a bunch of rats

And the dog came along
And saved the day
And the cats said
Some day I'll get you just you wait

Just you wait~
I'll get you just you wait

Little do u know
There's alot of creatures in the alley
Some are creepy
And some are just plain scary

Now lets turn our attention
To the cockroaches in the bins
They were searching for food
And they found a can of beans

Oops! My mistake
It's really a bottle of Jim Beam
And they started drinking
And partying, and partying

All day~
They were partying all day

Then the ants came along
And they joined the roaches in this song
And you just wonder
If they could ever get along

They have 6 legs, feelers
And they give birth by laying eggs
But the ants go for sweets things
And the roaches just eats up everything

Everything~
The roaches just eats up everything

Now look, the alley is more than just dark and icky
It's full of surprises
If only you
Take a minute
To stop and see

proverbs 3 : 5 to 6

2009-05-31T16:43:00.000+08:00

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

everything to me

2009-05-30T01:54:00.002+08:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFOQHT3mn5Q

I grew up in sunday school
I memorized the Golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But i'll never be the same
Because he changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that i'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that he is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet you saying you've been...

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me
Lord, you're everything to me

I'll Worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
For You my Dad and King
I'll live for all my days
To Put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet
It'll be for eternity

And Oh how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
And You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the cross

I'll worship You my God
I'll worship You my God
I love You
I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You
Be with You

my own parable

2009-05-20T23:09:00.003+08:00

there was once a boy who wanted to sell his shirt with the strong belief that this shirt would surely help someone. yet all he thought of was how his shirt could bring forth more shirts where people could bless him- according to the principles he believed.

yet in fact, his heart wasn't willing to let go of the shirt because it meant a lot to him. gradually he made the decision and willingly advertised to sell it on the blog shop. now he's just waiting for someone to buy the shirt. however, he hasn't been doing much to advertise the blog shop!

he must make a conscious effort to tell people of the shirt he's selling and tell of its positive points rather than focus on the little black dots that make the white paper dirty.

.

ha. i'll tell you when the shirt has been sold :)) zi.

half the world away

2009-05-18T08:02:00.001+08:00

Half the World Away - Oasis

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

Lead Me Lord
by Wendy Blight

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105

Do you pray for direction, and hear nothing?

Do you wonder if God even heard your prayers? Friend, you are not alone.

Often I come before God, pouring out my heart in prayer, seeking His will for different areas in my life. Then I hear nothing. He is silent. Not wanting to wait, I forge ahead on my own. In my busyness, I fail to sit and wait. No time, I say, because someone is waiting for an answer. No time, I say, because I need to act now. Yet, when I examine Scripture, God consistently teaches: sit, pray, and wait. Jesus began His ministry by fasting forty days alone in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). He spent an entire night alone in prayer before choosing His twelve disciples (Luke 6:12).

Esther fasted and prayed for three days before she took the bold and courageous step of going before the king on behalf of her people, knowing it could mean her death (Esther 4:8-16). Elijah went into the wilderness for forty days to hear the "still small voice" (1 Kings 19:11-18). What do these great people of faith teach us?

To know God's leading, to hear His voice, we must listen and wait. Maybe we think God is silent because we never take the time to sit in God's Word and wait. When we do, He promises it will penetrate us to the marrow of our bones, to the deepest places in our heart. Hebrews 4:12 says His Word is living and active and "sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow" (NIV).

When we choose to get alone with God, He promises to meet us there. Jeremiah 29:13-14a says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you" (NIV). Take the challenge to meet Him in His Word. Do you want direction? Follow these steps. 1) Read God's Word: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the [woman] of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (NIV) God was actively involved in the writing of Scripture.

It is the infallible and authoritative Word of God written to speak Truth into your life today. 2) Study God's Word: 2 Timothy 2:15 says, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth" (NIV). When you study His Word, He plants it deep within your heart. His Spirit then takes the Word and bends your heart in His direction, enabling you to hear His Voice. 3) Pray God's Word: Isaiah 55:11 says, "...so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purposes for which I sent it" (NIV). Prayer is God's living Word spoken out of your mouth. When you pray in faith, you hold God' Word up to Him in prayer.

You put Him in remembrance of His Word, and His promise is that Word will not return void. Furthermore it shall accomplish that which He purposes and pleases. Join me today in applying God's Word to the circumstances in your life. Know that when you do, God promises to do abundantly more than you could ever ask or imagine!

Suggested Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I need direction in my life today. You seem distant and silent. Yet I know that You are not because You promise to never leave me or forsake me. Today, I commit to search Your Word. Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in Your Law. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear Your direction in my circumstances. Thank You, Lord, that in my seeking You will meet me. Thank You that as I trust in You completely, You will lead me down Your paths! In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Application Steps:
Commit one area of your life or one situation with which you struggle to hear the Lord. Search His Word for verses that speak to your situation. Write them down on a card, commit them to memory, and pray them back to God. Wait and watch for God to do a mighty work. Share your story with me on my blog. I would love to celebrate God's faithfulness with you.

Reflections:
Sit and soak in Psalm 119 and marvel at the many blessings that flow from knowing and obeying God's Word.

Take One Step
By David C. McCasland

Love the Lord your God, . . . obey His voice, and . . . cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days.
Deuteronomy 30:20

At a shopping mall in Coventry, England, researchers posted colorful signs along the steps of a staircase that said: “Taking the stairs protects your heart.”

Over a 6-week period, the number of people who chose to walk up the stairs instead of riding the adjacent escalator more than doubled. The researchers say that every step counts, and that long-term behavior will change only if the signs are seen regularly.

The Bible is filled with “signs” urging us to obey the Lord and follow Him wholeheartedly. Just before the Lord’s people entered the Promised Land, He said to them: “I have set before you today life and good, death and evil . . . . Therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days” (Deut. 30:15,19-20).

So often we hope our lives will change through a giant leap of faith, a profound decision, or a significant act of service. In reality, the only way we change is one step at a time, and every step counts.

Today, let’s heed the signs and take a step of heartfelt obedience toward the Lord. It matters not the path on earthMy feet are made to trod;It only matters how I live: Obedient to God. —Clark

One small step of obedience is a giant step to blessing.

far beyond what we deserve

God’s Love And Ours
By David C. Egner

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

Franklin Graham regrets it now, but in his youth he was wild and rebellious. One day he went roaring up to his dad’s house on his Harley Davidson motorcycle to ask for some money. Dressed in his leathers, dusty and bearded, he burst into his father’s living room—and walked right into a meeting of Billy’s executive board.

Without hesitation, Billy Graham identified Franklin as his son. Then he proudly introduced him to every member of the board. Billy did not apologize for his son or show any shame or guilt. Franklin wrote later in his autobiography, Rebel With a Cause, that the love and respect his father gave him that day never left him, even during his rebellious years.

Our children don’t have to earn our love. To withhold love for our own selfish purposes is to follow the enemy, not God. God’s love for us is undeserved. We did nothing to earn it; no good in us merited it. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). In all our relationships, especially with our children, we must genuinely show that same kind of love.

We are called to treat our children, and all people, with love and respect. It helps to remember what we were when Christ died for us.

Help me, Lord, to show respect and love to others,
always mindful of the fact that each of us is created
in Your image. May Your love shine through my life
and bring praise and honor to You. Amen.

God’s love changes prodigal sons into precious saints.

The Sycamore Tree

Posted: 16 Mar 2009 09:00 AM PDT

So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. Luke 19:4

Zacchaeus was a corrupt tax collector in first-century Jericho. Out of curiosity, he went to hear Jesus. Because of his short stature, he had to climb a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of the Lord. A sycamore tree is a sturdy tree with wide-spreading branches. It has a short trunk with low limbs that allow for ease in climbing. The name “sycamore” is Greek for false fig.

A normal fig has soft skin. It is juicy, tasty and sold rather expensively. On the other hand, the fruit of the sycamore tree looks like a fig but its skin is hard. The fruit is inferior to the fig tree and has to be punctured to become edible. The moment a sycamore fruit is pierced, a breath of fresh air enters it and it will ripen into a soft, sweet, juicy fruit—just like a real fig. So while normal figs ripen on their own, a sycamore fruit will not. They require external intervention.

When Zacchaeus heard that Jesus was coming to town, he wanted to get a glimpse of this wonderful Savior. Being a very short man, he climbed up a sycamore tree and hid himself among the sycamore fruits. The whole scene couldn’t be more picture perfect—the hardened sinner among hardened fruits.

People become hard inwardly because of a few reasons: sin (Heb. 3:13), pride (Dan. 5:20), rebellion (Ps. 95:8), and religiosity (John 12:40). Zacchaeus had become hard because of his greed and love for money. The good news is that Jesus came to him like a skilled farmer of sycamore trees. He came underneath the branches that Zacchaeus was perched on and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house” (Luke 19:5).

Those words flowed out of Jesus’ mouth like a double-edged sword and pierced right into the heart of this hardened sinner. The breath of the Holy Spirit entered Zacchaeus and immediately, his heart began to melt and soften. In that moment, he received the unconditional love and acceptance of Christ. The Lord says, “Today salvation has come to this house” (19:9).

Are you cold and hard on the inside? Invite Jesus Christ to come into your life. Let Him pierce your heart with His Word. Give entrance to the fresh breath of the Holy Spirit. With Jesus Christ, the Word and the Spirit, you will be transformed into a beautiful person.

I See The Lights Are Turning
And I Look Outside The Stars Are Burning
Through This Changing Time
It Could Have Been Anything We Want
It's Fine Salvation Was Just A Passing Thought.

Don't Wait Act Now
This Amazing Offer Won't Last Long
It's Only A Chance To Pave The Path We're On
I Know There Are More Exciting Things To Talk About
And In Time We'll Sort It Out

And Though They Say It's Possible To Me
I Don't See How It's Probable
I See The Course We're On
Spinning Farther From What I Know
I'll Hold OnTell Me That You Won't Let Go
Tell Me That You Won't Let Go

And Truth Is Such A Funny Thing
With All These People
Keep On Telling Me
They Know What's Best
And What To Be Frightened Of
And All The Rest Are Wrong
They Know Nothing About Us

And Though They Say It's Possible To Me
I Don't See How It's Probable
I See The Course We're On
Spinning Farther From What I Know
I'll Hold OnTell Me That You Won't Let Go
Tell Me That You Won't Let Go

I'm Not Alright...

This Could Be Something Beautiful
Combine Our Love Into Something Wonderful
But Times Are Tough I Know
And The Pull Of What We Can't Give Up Takes Hold

The Search For Peace
By Bill Crowder

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds.
Philippians 4:7

At the height of their popularity, creativity, and wealth, the Beatles produced a controversial project called “The White Album.” It signaled the breakup of the band by featuring pieces that were primarily individual in nature instead of collaborative.

It also revealed a growing disenchantment with all that their fame had produced. In his song “I’m So Tired,” John Lennon expressed the emptiness of his “successful” and wealthy life with these profound words: “I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little peace of mind.” All that he had, all that he had accomplished, and all that he had become could not meet this simple, yet deep, personal need.

The world we live in cannot offer peace. It offers only poor options. Pleasure, power, and possessions are no substitute for peace of heart and mind.Paul reminded the believers at Philippi, “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:7). This is the peace God brings to those who have been reconciled to God by faith in His Son Jesus (Eph. 2:14-16). It is a peace we are to share with a world that is desperate for it.Peace—real peace—is found only in a relationship with Jesus.

John 16:33

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

personality tests

2009-03-06T00:47:00.003+08:00

weather: drizzling serenity

personality tests! not sure if they're true. but it sure is pretty entertaining to read! haha! go try:

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

hahas! you'll feel more positive about yourself! Try it! :P

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you.
You don't really care about other people's feelings. You do things the way you want and usually think only about yourself. You are easy-going and love to have fun, but you can be irresponsible as well. You are not keen on serious discussions because they can make you remember that life isn't always about parties.
You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.
Guys see you as being a thinker and a careful person. They will be really attracted to this quality in you, but you need to learn to speak your mind, otherwise people will find you too shy and quiet. Learn to relax and lighten up--it's okay to have fun sometimes. When you learn to develop your fun-loving side, guys are going to flock to your side.
Your boyfriend thinks that you are a real doll but this is not a totally positive thing. Sometimes you can be a bit too sweet, and come across as being helpless. If you're like this too frequently, your boyfriend and other people are likely to get tired of you having to rely on them all the time.

Kind and Gentle

Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.

You value your friendships: 60%

You love your friends very much - so much so that it's actually quite a worry. You may not be able to cope very well when you do lose somebody's friendship. You are a very sensitive and fragile person, and are therefore likely to get upset easily. You care for your friends and are willing to do anything that they ask you to do. Sometimes this can make your friends think that you are a bit of a nuisance. Nevertheless, people do really love you because your highest priority is your friends.

Love and your sweetheart

Here is the analysis:

Your sweetheart is an artist through and through. He is very sensitive and likes his privacy, which explains why he does not talk too much. However, he is very sincere and serious about you and your relationship, as well as life in general. You are lucky to have him as a boyfriend. He enjoys travel to places of natural beauty, revelling in calm and isolated spots. If you're heading away on a trip, take some good books to read. To keep the friendship sparkling, you also have to be sincere and sensitive. You should also be careful of things you say because he takes both criticism and praise very seriously.

Is he the one for you?

Success Rate In Relationships: 67%

Your relationship is moving forward. Just don't trip over.

You and him would be typical young lovers. It would not be all sweet and romantic if you got together, sometimes you would argue or get confused, but those elements would only make your relationship more exciting. At the moment you are probably assuming that he likes you, but sometimes you might not be so sure. Don't worry, you can be sure that he also feels the same way. When both of you sense special feeling towards each other, your relationship is certainly growing. What you should do is try to express your feelings a little more and learn more about him.

Are you nosy?

Nosy Level: 70%

You may seem to be a nosy person to some people, but actually you are quite a serious person who's not at all interested in gossip. You just like to know what's going on around you. It's a natural interest and you can get offended when people tell you they think you're a sticky-beak.

HAHAHA. I'm a nosy person eh? bewarE!

An Ocean Of Ink
By Dennis Fisher

To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge.
Ephesians 3:19

The words of the hymn “The Love of God” capture in word pictures the breathtaking magnitude of divine love:

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.

These marvelous lyrics echo Paul’s response to the love of God. The apostle prayed that believers might “be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge” (Eph. 3:18-19).

In reflecting on these verses about God’s love, some Bible scholars believe “width” refers to its worldwide embrace (John 3:16); “length,” its existence through all ages (Eph. 3:21); “depth,” its profound wisdom (Rom. 11:33); and “height,” its victory over sin opening the way to heaven (Eph. 4:8).We are admonished to appreciate this amazing love.

Yet as we expand our awareness of God’s love, we soon realize that its full measure is beyond our understanding. Even if the ocean were filled with ink, using it to write about the love of God would drain it dry.

— God’s love cannot be explained—it can only be experienced.

Let's Practice What We Preach
By Jim Grams

Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-prayer will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you've sinned, you'll be forgiven--healed inside and out.James 5:13-15

Economic crisis got you down? Pray. Is your heart still pumping? Sing. Are politicians troubling you? Pray. Can you feel God's presence? Sing. You get the message! Isn't it amazing how easily we get frustrated and lose the sense of victory in our lives?

We get all bent out of shape over the smallest stuff. Praying and singing actually work...so why do we so often wait and use them as a last result? When I was a kid and got sick, the first thing my Dad and Mom did was to pray over me.

There weren't many visits to the doctor's office back then. I wasn't healed every time they prayed, but God's ability to heal was never in doubt. And, they set a marvelous example for me of seeking God in prayer when faced with difficulties. A smile is a wonderful gift. A kind word can change a life. A song will lift your spirit. A prayer is a powerful force. L

Let's practice what we preach or quit preaching.

Let's really believe what we say we believe...and then live like we believe it. May God give us the courage to share Christ every single day...actively seeking Him for the strength and joy to enter our personal mission fields wearing His name and character. Trust me, He wears well.

Going Deeper, take a moment to pray about something that is troubling you. Sing praises to the Lord right now.

Begin and end each day with a song and prayer.

weather: serene

i feel so tired. drained.

BUT!! there are still things which i want to thank God for!

1. my AWESOME daddy!

he sms-ed me today! here's how the conversation went, word for word!

pa: 2morrow Where you go
me: At night? I think no where. Hee.
pa: Go back and rest

hahas! though no smileys and no fancy words, but it touched me to the heart !
I really thank God for such a loving father who cares for us so soo much!

Recently i began to understand that smileys aren't all! Though, yes! they do bring much joy to the ones reading it, but it's ultimately the message behind it all. I detest conversations which i feel that the people do not focus their attention on. It makes me feel unappreciated. As though i weren't worth their undivided attention! but! Guilty! i have to plead guilty! for I do become unfocused pretty easily.

oops. side-tracked. but oh yah! so I've stopped sms-ing with all the smileys! but understand that when i put them, i really really mean it!! :))

2. my FANTABULOUS Daddy God!

I really thank Him for His protection this whole week! there were many a times those unfortunate incidents simply swept pass me! Take this afternoon for instance, at WDA, you know those bars that swing up and down like at the control station in the MRT? Yea. When i walked pass it, my pen dropped! So i bent down to pick it up and the bar went down, missing me by a millimetre! It was so close, so close! And its automated one so one hit would confirm headache one man. So hallelujah. Praise to Him!

3. my friends who were so supportive of me pre,during and post-A levels

OKAY!! I'll stop living in self denial and admit! the results ARE coming out. in the 2nd week of March.

I confess great results! Awesome results! That i can go to the my dream course in a local U!

AmEN! :) thanks jie, erye, ah goi pris lou ja and the endless list who support me and question me non stop. love you guys. loads.

okay. Amen! I feel so much better now that i confess positive thoughts! Glory to our Lord.

thanks for reading what you've been reading above! means alot to me that you were willing to spend the time to.

Managing The Mess
by Joe Stowell

Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me? <Ruth 1:21>

When we meet Naomi in the Scriptures, her life is a mess. She and her husband had gone to Moab searching for food during a famine. While in that land, their two sons married Moabite women, and life was good—until her husband and sons died and she was stuck, widowed in a foreign land.

Though honest about her pain, Naomi obviously had a sense of who was in control: “The Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me” (Ruth 1:21).The Hebrew word for “Almighty” (Shaddai) indicates God’s sufficiency for any situation. The word “Lord” (Yahweh) refers to His faithfulness as the loving covenant-keeping God.

I love how Naomi put these two names together. In the midst of her complaint, she never lost sight of the fact that her God was a capable and faithful God. And, sure enough, He proved His capability to deliver her and His faithfulness to care for her to the very end.

If there seems to be no way out of your despair, remember that Naomi’s God is your God as well. And He specializes in managing our messes to good and glorious outcomes. Thankfully, He is both capable and faithful. So, when your life is a mess, remember who your God is!

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last. —von Schlegel

Stand back and watch the Lord manage your mess into a glorious outcome.

Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10.

Not only could he do it from 1 to 10, but he did it again from 10 back to 1. This was what he came up with….

1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep.
But the couple saw me, so I panic and I 4 down.
The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me.
I ran until I fell 6 and threw up.
So I went into 7-eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him.
Then I took a 9 and try to stab at him.
10 God he run away.

10 I put the 9 back and paid for the 8 and left 7-eleven.
Next day I called my boss and told him I was 6.
He said 5 , tomorrow also don't need to come back 4 work.
He also asked me to go climb a 3 and jump down!
I didn’t understand.
I was so nice 2 him and I really don’t know what he 1.

the YZE's DEN TIMES

WOW. It looked like a mini expo Convention with the millions that appeared at the Guan Yin Temple to pray today.

With the In-Charge shouting in a uncle-ish way "Bu yao pao! Aunty, ni bu yong pao!", the streets have been jam- packed with push carts that proclaim of the cheapest joss- sticks available at their stalls.

It was definitely an eye- opener because despite the recent news reports that declared the highest PSI of 54 last week (usual:48), the public still persist on burning their joss sticks down.

With the business booming, the company-which-cannot-be-named has also decided to send 2 employees down to give out free red packets too.

An interview that would occur would probably go something like this:

Reporter: R, Employee 1: #1, Employee 2: #.

R: Good afternoon employees, may I ask; How was the situation like?
#1: Wah. Hot arh! Everybody was definitely happy to see us!
#2: Smiles** yes yes.

R: I see. How did you react when you saw the large crowd then?
#1: Shocked! Actually no lah, last year also like that what. But maybe cause this year, bad times, that's why such a big hoo- ha.
#2: Nods** yes yes.

R: It was definitely noble of the two of you, to be willing to sacrifice yourselves at noon, to stand under the blastering hot sun and give the, er- red packets out!
#1: No lahhh. It was fun. Can take the time to slack also.
#2: -No comments-

R: Err thanks for taking this time. I enjoyed this conversation very much.
#1: Hahahaha!
#2: -No comments-

R turns around/
#1: Wait wait! Here got ang bao for you. Everyone in the company will have one also!

Philippians 2
Imitating Christ's Humility

1If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!

9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Shining as Stars
12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
14Do everything without complaining or arguing,
15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
17But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
18So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

I John 1
Walking in the light
5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Psalms 139:1-4
"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD"

Love Song for #1

In the twinkling stars that dance like fireflies
In the blushing fruit that hangs upon the vine
In the face of a baby as he forms his first smile

I see you

In the whisper of the wind's soft lullaby
In the laughter and the roar of the rushing tide
In the song of a sparrow as he takes his first flight

I hear you

Why do you hide among the nameless and forgotten
Why do you walk along these long forsaken roads
Calling to me in the hungry and the homeless
Calling me to water your thirst
So I'll give you my heart and my song
In a world where so much is right
But so much is wrong
Your love is my beginning and I know it won't be too long

Till I see you

-Corinne May
