pressing on...
Found this song today and I really like the lyrics for this. Enjoy! :]Relient K - Pressing On
I think We're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think We're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with You.
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where We're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
I think We're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think We're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, We get around it.
Searched for joy, in YOU I found it.
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where We're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing ooooonnnn.
I'm pressing on.
All my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
You look down on me, but You don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love You have for me.
I think We're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and We're gonna make it after all.

grow grOW GROW!
This week's been a rather busy week for me though I'm on my last week of MC. Been designing my website and trying to find a suitable writer to hire and write contents for me. Thank God I was able to find one without having to spend a bomb and thank God I have a brother who knows a load about computer and internet stuff! haha! I pestered him a great deal this week regarding my website. :P Sorry shane! :]]Had a mid-autmn festival celebration with some of my members on monday night. It was fun! just a normal, no agenda kind of fellowship. We made a N266 piece of art together. wanted to post the pictures here initially, but I haven't got them. It'll be up soon! :]
Grrr! I'm going back to camp on monday....end of my so called "holidays" haha!! anyway, its been a life changing 2months of MC. I've grown a lot this 2 months, and im sure God will use me mightily back in camp! :]]
-Letter to God-
You are my freedom to give, You are the reason to believe. Where will I be right now if You had not found me 4 years ago? Probablly still struggling for a little self-esteem?
Without You, I would not have done so much, been so far. Looking back at all the things that I've done with You, I'm grateful for Your grace that brought me here. This is just the beginning though, I know a greater journey lies ahead of me. and I thank you for that!
Thank you for teaching me about tithing and giving - it really opened up the windows of blessing in my life! I know, if I want more growth, keep sowing, keep waiting, and in due season I will reap. :]] Seed, Time and Harvest.
I'm sorry sometimes I've been unfaithful in the things You've place in my hands, and I'm just so amazed how everytime You are so forgiving when I apologize. And You always still dare to trust me again.
I love You, YES, I do... but still, teach me how to love like You have loved me. Open up my eyes to the things unseen, the realm where only with faith I can see.
I need You more than I need anything else, and I'm sorry I realized that a little late, and I'm sorry that I'm still in the midst of understanding the full revelation of that. Nevertheless, thank You for not giving up on me. :]]
You know what I want, and yes, I will keep on tithing and giving, till that day I receive my blessings from You. Oh, rest assured..I am a persistent one sometimes - You should know, You made me this way. :]] Anyway, looking forward to the journey we're gonna embark together! :]] I'm sure You'll provide the provision when You gave me the vision. :]]
thats all. :]]

Sowing & Reaping part 2
LOL! I didn't expect that there will be a part 2 to this, but today as I finished up the report for my officer, he blessed me with another $50! OMGoodness! I hope that there's part 3 and 4 and so on...like a whole Sowing and Reaping Saga will be GREAT! - You know, like Star Wars.. LOL!! :DI'm so blessed this week - let me see.. $50 on sunday, $50 on monday, $100 on wednesday, $50 today. thats a total of $250 this week! LOL! more than half of my NS pay!
Indeed when He said, "my Word will by no means fade away", it is so true. What God said WILL come to pass - i've always believed that, this week the verse became so real.
I'm reminded of this verse this time as I listened to the featured song,
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the LORD of hosts,
“ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.”
I really love this song - it not only sings of what God wants me to do, but it also expresses what i want to tell Him. So...this song may be here for some time, bare with it yea - anyway its nice! haha! :D

Sowing and Reaping.
I thank God - That even as all else fails, His word always still remains. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." (Mt 24:35) This verse was so real to me this week. I experienced the blessing of God as I sowed half of my pay for an ad-hoc job I was offered on sunday. The sowing was hard, I felt a part of me left after realizing I sowed so much, but putting the pain aside, I chose to believe God for the blessings that will come.Truth enough, today as I met my officer for the 2nd time to discuss about a report I had to help him do, he blessed me with a $100 - this is just a material blessing, which of course I was happy about. But what really got me smiling from ear to ear is that my officer was very impressed with my willingness to help him, and with that alone, it brought the both of us closer. Thank You God! :]] I was reminded of this verse, "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy." (Ps 126:5)
:]] Oh, how can I express my love for you God? - and He told me, "Give to my people". It came to me as I was listening to this song - "Give by Relient K" I'll post the lyrics here so you guys can listen to what they are singing about.
No one told me
The right way
The right way to go about this
So I'll figure it out for myself
Cuz how much
Is too much
To give you
Well I may never know
So I'll just give until there's nothing else
Yeah I'll give give give, until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Give give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give
No one told me
How bad I need you
But I somehow arrived
To that conclusion all by myself
See, I want
All you have to offer
So I offer myself and I'll just give until there's nothing else
Yeah I'll give give give, until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Give give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left to
Give give give, until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Yea, I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left
Sometimes it seems
Like all I ever do
Is ask for things
Until I ask too much of you
But that's not the way
I wanna live
I need to change
Yeah something's got to give
Yeah something's got to
Give give give, until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Give give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left to
Give give give, until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Give give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give
Sometimes I come to God with a long prayer list, and ask of Him the whole entire world. Sure He'll be more than happy to give me when the season is right, afterall He's got the most giving heart in the whole entire universe. But, that's not how a disciple of Christ should be. Like how it would please my earthly father, it'll be pleasing to Him as well when I seek to fulfil what is in His heart - loving His people.
I want to be a Barnabas! - an encourager and a generous giver. (Acts 4:36-37)

close this chapter - and lay your armor down
alright, my first ever music post. recently, i been listening to this song - "Don't wait by Dashboard Confessional". I'll put up both the song and video - how's that for the first post? ;) LOL... kidding..anyway, here's the video. enjoy!
I like the way they play around with time in this video. Waiting for something that you don't know the outcome of, and your life will just pass you by. so instead of waiting, why not do something useful with your time? Let Go and let God... "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all that you desire shall be added unto you.." I still have faith for the things that I desire and want, but there's a time and season for everything - it's just not the time now.
trusting in God wholeheartedly, i know things will work out just fine for us. :]]

what am i doing?!!?
??? how did i end up blogging? HAHA! i always tell my friends, "im not the blogging type!", but yet, here i am, typing my first post. what's happening!??! LOL! don't worry, i am still who i was. what kept me from blogging was that i didnt like the idea of having my life being read openly by any tom dick or harry - or susan, mary or jane. whatever. LOL. anyway, im having this blog up not because im going to start posting about things that are happening in my life, but more like a radio channel - to share with my fellow friends songs (and occasionally videos) that i like, and sometimes these songs tell you a lot about what i feel. also sometimes sharing revelations that i get from God. :]so friend, if you think you'll start knowing me more by reading my blog, im sorry, you'll have to call me to chat in order to achieve that. :] but you'll get to listen to songs here that i can relate to though! :]
alright, thats it for my first post.
