untitled

served today in church for 3rd and 4th service, did not manage to listen to the entire message though..will wait for the cds!! hehe..church was VERY VERY FULL today esp during 3rd service!! many people ended up sitting on the floor in the auditorium. had a really enjoyable dinner with cheryl, danny and janette. talked abt alot of issues for example, is God really there? how to believe in Him when i am facing really horrible situations?' we are in this freakin' society where we have to work' etc etc. really interesting coz everything is so real! we dun usually talk aloud such issues among ourselves in. everyone do, to a certain extent, doubt(ed) God and His existence in one pt or another. I do too! esp when i am terribly down, when it has been a bad day etc... it's like 'God! where were you when i needed you most?!' or 'why must i go through all these???!!' but have we ever ponder and stop to think God is revealing some stuff in our lives that needs a fixing? perhaps to train our patience in Him.i am still learning, haven't reach the level whereby i know everything..actually, we wun be able to know everything coz we are not God! it is always a learning process..cheryl once told me that many of us know this and that..but it is a different issue whether we are living what we know...i mean we all know that faith pleases God, and it comes by hearing and hearing His word..but are we living it? hehe....a pt to ponder

was bathing when i suddenly thought of the song, 'because you loved me' by Celine Dion. thought of God's love and thanking God that I am still alive after surviving through those times when i was young. i know what it's like to be worrying about 'when can i have a permanent house to stay without renting rooms??', to be living on my own once every 2 weeks when i turned 13, to see that others have an earthly father and i do not, to see my mum crying over estranged relatives, but most of all, I know what it's like to be overwhelmed with God's love when you are 'low on love'. i am not trying to boast myself that i have gone thru what i have gone thru..there are many people out there who have gone through personal challenges in their lives as well. remember that there are no mountains too high for us to climb, because God is always there 24/7 to lift us up!

"Because You Loved Me"
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in youI'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it allI
'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is trueI was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believedI'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believedI'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
*listening to: 'I'm Your Angel' by Celine Dion and R. Kelly
