O Mighty Cross

One week is over again! Time really flies fast... it's only been 2 weeks of Grad Serve but yet it seemed like lotsa matters have happened during these 2 weeks.

Was very glad that the song I chosed ytd "O Mighty Cross" ministered to quite a few of my brothers & sisters. Over dinner, I felt really happy that I could use a song to encourage or remind them about the love of Christ. I'm not in any worship team in church or choir but it made me realised if I put my heart to something simple like leading a song, God's people can be blessed in the process. :)

Here's the lyrics once again... Hope it touches your heart just like it touched mine...
[ask me for the link to the mp3 if you want]

O mighty cross, Love lifted high
The Lord of life raised there to die;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross, what throne of grace.
He knew no sin, yet took my place;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross, O Christ so pure.
Love held Him there, such shame endured;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross, my soul's release,
The stripes He bore, have brought me peace;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.

The Lost Gospel of Judas?

Surely National Geographic has better things to do than work on a project like this?

I'm sorry if this comment make me sound like a cynic. But yah, it just doesn't make such sense to me.

Are You Crazy?

Imagine offered a scholarship, what will be your natural response?

Obviously, take it up right? But what if you know this is not where God wants you to be at. Or you know that this option will shortchange you for certain things in life?

If you give up the scholarship, what will the world say to you?

It's so easy to just go with the flow of life, follow trends & do whatever that everyone is doing. This is because it will be seemed as socially acceptable. But is man's recognition what we should really seek for?

Who do we really live for? The society's recognition, our parents' approval or our peers' admiration?

I really don't think.
I want any of these.

Post-blog thoughts:
It's been a long while since many people commented on my entries. But to clear things up, nope I wasn't offered a scholarship. It was just a hypothetical situation, arising from a conversation I had with my friend .

But still, it was good hearing out from everyone what they will do when facing such issues. :)

Stop looking within...

Dear God,

Forgive me for being so inward-looking.

It's not just about me...

"HUH?"

I'm sorry I had no answer to your "huh?" today.

Lone-ranger

I just wanna go and hang out at a place with nice sand, sea & skies. Snorkel, swim, tan, kayak, island hop. Stare at the clear-blue waters until the fishes jump out at you.

I doubt I will ever find any companions.

So ya, maybe I will just pack my bags & go alone. When the gahmen grants me my $800.

Just have to find a date to do so.. I mean 日期 , not person.

Time for spring-cleaning?

Was clearing up some rubbish in my room. Actually it was more of re-organisin the trash in my room. It looks slightly neater now but truth of matter is I have also dumped alot of things inside my cupboard.

The state of my room is almost parallel to my life, I feel. Friends who enter my room don't say my room is neat. They say it's empty. Everything is very functional, not much decorative stuff. Thankfully, they don't open the cupboards cos' all the rubbish will start falling out.

I always try to do some spring cleaning each year but each time round, I just end up re-packing the things & try and make the place look neater. It's like there's some form of neatness in the messiness but really, it's quite duh to think about it in that way...

I think I gotta really do a major spring-cleaning not only to my room but to my life as well.

天下的妈妈都是一样的

I think all mothers have a same manual at home:-

101 Ways to Scold the Child

Or maybe they attend some secret annual forum to discuss best ways to discipline their children.

But manual or not, I still love my mum.

Truly convicted.

Guessed noone missed me.

But anyway. Life's gonna get busy starting from today. I've committed myself to serving for 2-3 months in YFC. So yup, I will start work officially from 3rd April onwards.

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see the fields are white for harvest... John 4:34-35

The process of growing hasn't been easy. God's word has been telling me time & again to make some decisions in my life. And I've never before taken his Word so seriously that I wanna make a change, I wanna put my heart to certain decisions based on how the Word has convicted me.

I don't know whether I can really do it. but I will try my best! And I know He will chasten me in the process.
