"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." -Ecclesiastes 3:11Just a few songs I identify with now or that have spoken to me. Praise God, Praise God, Praise God. Hallelujah! It's all over now. Having gone thru' - to me - an ordeal, I know it's
true that God remains faithful, no matter what the circumstance is. Thank you (Clare, Michele, Claudia, Benavon, Vanessa, Neville, Ms Ng, Ms Wong... just to name a few) for your love, care & concern, prayers, encouragements...the list goes on. I wouldn't be triumphant if not for the unceasing prayers you've prayed. God hears and listens.
"When you're doing your best, you have no time to worry about failures." (Robert Hillyer)
MercyMe - So Long Self
From the album Coming Up To Breathe
Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say
Chorus:
So long self
Well it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, Goodbye, don't cry
So Long Self
Stop right there because I know what your thinking
But no we can't be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Oh, can't you see
Farewell, Goodbye
Oh so long self
Mark Harris - Find Your Wings
From the album The Line Between The Two
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And If I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow
Chorus:
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly
Hillsong United - Fire Fall Down
United We Stand
You bought my life with the
Blood that You shed on the cross
When You died for the sins of men
And You let out a cry
Crucified now alive in me
These hands are Yours
Teach them to serve as You please
And I'll reach out desperate to see
All the greatness of God
May my soul rest assured in You
I'll never be the same
No I'll never be the same
Cause I know that You're alive
You came to fix my broken life
And I'll sing to glorify
Your Holy Name
Jesus Christ
You changed it all
You broke down the wall
When I spoke and confessed
In You I'm blessed
Now I walk in the light
In victorious sight of You
Your fire fall down
Fall down
On us we pray
As we seek
Show me Your heart
Show me Your way
Show me Your glory

Hope you've been blessed by these songs just as I have. School's getting really busy (stressful's the word, actually), but God's got everything under control. I had awful coping mechanisms but now even when I'm trying hard to cope, haha, I'll probably go for more...rest. ("find rest, o my soul, in God alone" psalm 62:5)
Having been thru' what I have, I'm confident that God
never forsakes us, never. Never cease looking to Him in the midst of all sorts of struggles and never forget to praise God when you win a battle; when you lose a battle. It's alright to go thru' dark moments, it's alright to sin because the cross says
done. It's alright to be weak, it's alright to be imperfect, it's alright to be vulnerable. I can assure that you being a Child of God, He is well pleased with you, even if you think you're undeserving. Eventually, let God be God. Nothing can go wrong at the very end because God has promised us safe landings (not calm passages).
"If God if for us, who else can be against us?" Romans 8:31b
