Arms Open Wide

Thursday, 28 May 2009, 5:26 pm

Take my hands and make them clean
Keep my heart in purity
That I may walk in all You have for me
----
Was listening to Joyce Meyer's podcast yesterday, and I'm extremely convicted and educated. She was talking about how if i were to stop feeding my problems and my obsession, then will it die away. I guess that's why I'm not getting any better. It's because I allow my thought life to be filled with impure stuff. How true it is that if I were to stop feeding the ideas that I'll ultimately be able to overcome it!

It's been a long day today. Wasn't feeling very well. Stomach ache till now. At least i didn't faint from the excruciating pain! Tmr's GP paper! I'm darn nervous. It's the first time I'm even bothered about my GP paper. Guess, the stresses of A levels are getting to me.
Went to the library yesterday. It was a very fruitful session. However, I still have much to write for my thesis. I apparently chose a topic which has very limited readings. I need help with me thesis, so much to do, so little time. MYE's are coming and I can't believe I have to devote some time into writing my thesis. Total crap. Oh well, I chose the subject, I face the consequence.
I'm going to study for my GP now, please pray for me. Pray that God will give me wisdom and I'll be able to understand the questions and answer them succinctly and accurately. A cogent essay and an insightful AQ! Thanks for praying! (:

Start Posting LIFE

Monday, 25 May 2009, 8:25 pm

Ok, i've never really talked much about my day to day so here it goes. MON! SHORT and SWEET. Came home at 1230 today. Finally managed to grab some McValue lunch! Woohoo! School today was quick and painless. Yet the thought of the impending MYE and the countdown to A levels draw nearer, I'm starting to feel the heat. Trying to find love in tutorials and lectures just like band practices is hard, real hard. But i guess peserverance will pay off!

Kind of wasted my afternoon today struggling, I gave up. However, i chanced upon C3's website and decided to hear Sy Rogers speak, and i felt encouraged. He talked about how I should not try to supress the temptations and feelings or to distract myself but to submit and say I'll choose Him over my self-indulgence. I guess now i'm not figthing against the evil one but myself. And yes i'll crucify my flesh for my future.

Truth

Friday, 22 May 2009, 4:55 pm

I guess the past month has been hell of a ride. My eyes has been opened up to things around me that I've never really noticed. And now that I know of it, I become irritated at the thought of it. No one gets more hot/cold than me! Oh well, no need to harbour on such thoughts. I need to be very right and truthful. I have to myself uphold truth and be willing to forgo self-gratification for kingdom purpose!

Getting ready for a phenomenal cell group later on!

Age to Age

New song from Hillsong Live (sang by Brook Litgerwood (Fraser))

You gave me hope
You made me whole
At the cross
You took my place
You showed me grace
At the cross
Where You died for me

And His glory appears
Like the light from the sun
Age to age
He shines
Oh look to the skies
Hear the angels cry
Singing Holy is the Lord

// Yes I can overcome with HIM!

silver...again

Thursday, 7 May 2009, 9:31 pm

Yes it's out. it's a SILVER for PJCSB for the second year running. I guess many up us has a goal in mind or GOLD in mind. But I guess when the rubber meets the road, life is more than just meeting the goal. Especially in terms of music. Some love it, some hate it. We will never understand the psyche behind all the judges. But to be honest, a silver's just insufficient. All the practices, and hard work from MOST of the people definitely deserves better. BUT as the saying goes, the group is strongest as its weakest link. We know our weakest links were really weak.

But does a silver mean we're useless or lousy? Definitely NO! We made music, collectively! We were ONE band performing our hearts out. We were at war. The victory might not have been ours, but who wouldn't say they've improved? All of us have become better musicians. Some with slight improvements while others with milestone transformations! It's just that the end results were a lil disapproving of the efforts and improvements we've made. Maybe they should make the syf like SPA! and here us from the very beginning till the actual day!

The reason why I'm writing this is cos i feel that some people are just not happy. I'm not either, but i guess we learn to grow with it. No need for excuses, no need for sorry. We attained a silver award! It's just not yellower. It's just a medal. A medal defines only 2 pieces of music. A musician encompasses so much more. I guess when we learn to appreciate this fact then can we fully appreciate the beauty of being a musician and what it is to bring music, life and vigour to our lost, plain and dying world!

ALL'S NOT LOST!

Back to reality. I'm sick like never before. I've lost my voice and i did some of my backlogged tutorials. BUT, I'm still not done yet! ARGH! and I'm still feeling annoyingly sick. Guess I'll have to rest early again!
I want to walk on the right path this time. I want to be a better person. No more pm and no more other tendencies.

Thank God I only failed 2 stations which are namely SBJ and Pull-ups. Expected but at least i don't need to keep stretching and sit-up-ing! lol The sit up girl was nice enuf to help me pass! I only did 31 situps if I'm not wrong (which is really lousy, DON'T LAUGH!) but she recorded it as 34 which is a D (Silver)! Haha. I reached further than before , 41cm!. I jumped further than before( though still fail) 194cm! Finally jumping a distance further than my height! lol. Oh and talking about the title, I ran 11Mins45Sec!!! AMAZING RIGHT?? I also couldn't believe it! haha but have been the nice weather and the constant "Go Gabriel!" that I heard. Feel really proud for my 2.4! though not an A but C is sufficiently satisfying. haha! That's it for NAPFA. Now is more training till i pass the last 2 stations! lol!

I'm going to church tmr. I pray it'll be a brand new and fresh start for me tmr.
