Be Still and Know...

I Will Be Ready

Verse 1:
I will not fear when the storm arrives
I'll persevere when I’m in plight
When enemies are against me
And others persecute me
I have victory, I have victory

Verse 2:
I will keep watch, I will keep wake
To welcome the King of Glory in
The oil in my lamp would not run dry
I wait on the Risen Crucified
I will be ready, I will be ready

Chorus:
For death has lost its victory
O My Saviour is coming for me
On the clouds of heavens He sounds
The call of Eternal Glory

Bridge:
Glory to the King of Kings
Glory to the Lord of Lords (x2)
He reigns, He reigns
Forever and ever and ever

Funny how after I wrote this song, the following week was pretty much emotionally stressing.. Many events happened, many intercessions.. and I was just overwhelmed by it all.

It was abit hard at 1st to sing what i wrote after all that happened.. but all the more I sang it to myself...to remind me that we indeed are victorious at times as such. In a strange way, I felt that God was speaking to me through my own song.

I was reminded that when the storm arrives, we have no reason to fear.. When things don't seem to go our way, we still have hope.. because He is in control... because He is God who reigns forever and ever (x100) ! =)

For you guys out there who are undergoing tough times, hang on and persevere on. Most importantly, be still and know that He is God.
God Bless <3

"SEE"

The Chapman family on Larry King, 3 months after the passing away of their youngest member Maria Sue, who was struck by a car driven by her own brother.
Amazing vids they are, showing the tremendous love and support within the family, and how they are still depending on God's strength to live every single day:

Looks like being grounded at home with germs is the only opportunity for me to update my blog..

I've been spending most of my free afternoons napping in eternity these couple of days. I think my body is telling me that I need more rest.. However, I woke up with flu after one of those hibernating sessions, and I'll be worship leading for the 1st time in Sunday Service this week! Maybe it's spiritual warfare, or maybe..a sign that I shud nap more than 2 hours a day =P


Anyhow..i'm just praying I get well in time.


Passion, Passion, Passion..


No I'm not refering to the fruit or a bar (someone actually tot i was going to one bearing that name) ..or anything else but the conference that happened on Sunday..

There was just so much hype about the whole event before the actual thing. Ppl were promoting it heavily on blogs, facebook, churches and even in my college I cud see the posters everywhere! I though to myself, okay.... Chris Tomlin will be there...Louie Giglio, Charlie Hall..... but kinda like.. "so what"? I didn't know what we'll be doing for the event, what's in store and all..but just signed up since I had nothing to do then. And so there I went.

And my.... despite all the craze and hype.. the suffocating queues and long waits..it became one of the awesomest nights of my life!! I loveeedd it so much not because of the singers, the speaker, the effects or whatelse.. but because the uplifiting of God's Name was the focus of the whole entire event! God's beauty and awesomeness was protrayed in every song we sang that night. And Louie shared with us the journal of Ashley the self-proclaimed "screwed up" party girl, and how Christa her housemate (nicknamed "The Fruitcake" by Ashley), didn't give up on sharing God's love and grace to her, brought a 360 degree change into her life.

And during the the last worship session, "How Great is Our God" was sung...and I just couldn't stop the train of tears that came by flowing. I was struck with reality that God is indeed sooooooo HUGE and AWESOME, and standing there I felt like a tiny speck of dust. (as i'm typing this..the song "How Great is Our God" just happened to play in my hi-fi 0.0 ) pauses. I was just in awe..like literally..in awe of Him. Still am.

Looking back, I'm thinking how often we complain bout little inconveniences to Him, bout how He doesn't answer our prayes (in d way we want in to be) bout why such tragedies befall us.. We sing tonnes of songs proclaiming His greatness and all, yet how many times do we actually believe the words we're singing? We've forgotten (or at least I have) just how Great and Mighty our Father is, how MUCH He loves us, and that He knows perfectly well what's going on in our lives.

The question is, are we willing to give Him every part of us and our lives to Him? Are we willing to take that leap of faith, give him the wheel, and trust that He knows best?

Are we unashamed of the gospel, and willing to be a "Fruitcake"?

I went to the conference expecting nothing, and walked out of it with conviction that this awesome God must be made known.
