Yeah that’s right. That’s all it needs to satisfy my heart, to lay before God at his feet, to embrace the cross with humility and to seek Him.
God ever since this year I chose to live by Eph 5:1-2, to live a life of love, the trials have already started and they are coming on hard. It started from home ground once again. Sometimes I wonder why do my parents have to control every single part of me. Sometimes I hope they could just leave me as I am knowing and trusting that I am of age to decide for myself as a young adult.
I feel so caged up that inside me it gets all so jumpy each time I feel limited by them. GOD can you feel what I am going through? I am sure you can. Your the only person who ever understands me the most. I love you deeply. Every single part of you just makes me bow in awe wanting you ever more.
Lord, help me to become the man you so created me to be. A servant who wills to be moulded by the hands of the potter.
“As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more.” 2 Corinthians 3:18b
I am holding on to this promise, Lord.

Living as a Christian definitely hasn’t been an easy life. I was reflecting on how God loved me so much that He would pursue me so badly even when I hurt him the most in my life.
Here’s a song that I sing to remember your pursuit for me every moment of my life. That is I want to cling on to you forever as my lover.
You pursue on, never let go
To win this hardened heart of mine
You pursue on, always have been
You make me feel secured in your arms
You pursue on, you still go on
And I will never want to leave you

Today was the first cell meeting this year. There wasn’t any cell kits prepared yet and we were actually asked to do vision casting for the cell. However since poly’s new school term doesnt start till April, we did extended worship and played a card game called QAOW pronounced as cow. A pretty alright game which would only be fun if there are funny people around.
We ended with prayer and headed over to Botak Jones for dinner. It was my first time there, I tried the Cajun chicken but it didn’t really tasted nice at all. I guess botak jones is highly over-rated but then again I haven’t tried the rest of the dishes, even saw a few of them that cost over $50 though its at a kopitiam.
Gonna head off to finish up my project for tomorrow. Ciao!

As I was reading the bible this morning, I stumbled across this verse that upon the first look I know it’s gonna be the verse for me this year!
Eph 5:1-2 “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
wow! It’s 5.30pm now and I just got on biblegateway.com and it so happened that the verse of the day posted there was the theme verse of the year for me. Indeed this will be the verse I will be holding on tightly in my heart and working on living a life of love this year!

Chorus:
Your word is my hope
Your promise I hold on
I believe in your name
F Am
Your word is my sword
F
Your shield is my faith
G
And I am living on for you
Bridge:
F Am
I’m just gonna read your word
C
And keep my mind
G
Secured in your truth
I’m just gonna live your way
And live by your spirit
To overcome my weakness
Still working on the verse. The second segment of the chorus was taken from Eph 6:16 “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Thank you Lord! This is the 1st completed song that I wrote 3 weeks back. I would like to thank God also for Jenn Hui, Samantha, Reginald, Amanda, and Joey. Not only did they help me to fine tune it but also encouraged me greatly to go on writing songs for His glory.
Sing praises to Our Almighty God
Verse 1:
G
Sing praises to our Almighty God
Em
Dance before His throne
C
His presence is all we want
G
As we come together
Verse 2:
So come and reign in our hearts forever
Fill the void in our lives
Take your place in our beings
To glorify His name
Bridge:
D Em C
And we will sing unto the Lord God Almighty (x2)
Chorus:
G Em
Praise Him, let us praise him
C D
Let us lift him high up in our lives
G Em
For all that he has done, for all that he has given
C
We remember His grace and mercy
G
In our lives
Verse 3:
He brought us out of the pit of darkness
Made our lives worth living
He gave us joy to live on
For His glory
Joey suggested playing in the key of E with chords E, C#m, A, B for the verse. It sounded really nice with the key of E and would be more comfortable for congregational singing.
The only changes left to be made is to change the word lives as it’s currently repeated 5 times in the song..not good!

All along I was able to sing free praise and worship songs to God, however I did not know I could write fully composed songs. It all came about 3 weeks ago where I decided to write down the short chorus that I came up with in that morning’s devotion and took an hour to write up a draft of a full song.
Here’s the chorus that I started out with on my guitar while worshiping God:
Praise be to our almighty God
Dance before his holy throne
Your presence is all we want
In our hearts
This is the raw version.
The full version of the song can be found here
These past 3 weeks I have been writing a couple of songs and today I spent half the day with a new song which I will be posting it under the ‘Composed Songs’ category.
God, I thank you for allowing me to express myself in such a lovely manner in songs of praise and worship. I never knew I could ever do that as I never had any musical talents since young. This is truly a gift from you and by your grace you have allowed me to write songs to glorify your name. My heartfelt gratitude is to you Lord, my King, and my Savior!

I get this feeling my life is messed up when there is so much work to be done yet so little time to complete them.
I have already thrown business work out for quite awhile now Lord and had to leave some clients work incomplete due to that.
What’s left is ministry, studies, and family. This were the 3 I was heavily involved in before I started business yet had time to finish everything. However through the past few months my time has been divided into 4 separate portions and as a result of that uncompleted work from mainly studies and ministry has built up so much that it seems just so much work to do now >.<
Me tired? I have been resting but i just have this messed up feeling that every part of me is being pulled. Lord help me..
