Oh yeah. Congrats to Nic, our new captain (:

I give it up to You, oh Lord.

You are above my fleshly desires. Keep my eyes upon You alone even as I go through each day, Lord let not my heart stray. You are sovereign, and I want to serve You with all I am.

I thank You Lord for all You've given me. You're a graceful God, You give though I don't deserve. Let me be satisfied with what You've blessed me with, and let me give thanks to my Lord.

To everything there is a season. And Lord I know that now's not the time. I lay it all up in Your hands. Your will be done, not mine.

Humble me, let me serve You each day and grant me the courage and protection as I witness for You. You are my Saviour, my Strength, my Hope. Without You I am nothing, and in You I'll find strength.

Let hearts be softened, let Your workers arise - for the time of harvest is here.

A wish? Ah that's simple. My wish is for all of you to believe.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Forgive, without expecting to be forgiven in return.

It's time to sit down closed off from the world, earnestly seeking God in prayer and reflection. I need His Word to guide my life.

It has only been less than 6 hours since I packed my last packet of medicine and I've only known them for less than 2 weeks - yet I'm missing them already. Amanda, Jessica, Lyn, Dionna, Ophyllia, Samuel, Andrew and everyone else.

Losing a loved one must be unbearable.

We're living in a world of compromise.

"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." - Matthew 11:12 (NKJV)

Shall violence deter the Church from seeking God? May the Lord's blessings and aid be rained down upon our sisters facing tribulation, for protection and strength as the counter evil with good.

The time has come to step up.

A thunderous clatter of rubber on the quadrangle pavement. Echoes. Echoes.

What's the point of all the glory when we can't even get our hearts right with God? Mistakes are mistakes made, and lessons for the humble of heart. There's more to it than human wisdom in every situation.

Parents are back in Singapore. Chinese O Levels are over - it's time to get myself a proper bass. And I'm reminded of the fact that I have still so much to learn, and so little time.

So I'm still awake at 2.36am. Not very much my fault, I overslept. I suppose the 3 alarms did go off at 7.30, 7.35 and 7.40pm respectively, but I am a heavy sleeper. Heh. Fancy blogging at such a time in the night. Maybe this is why the URL is "mynightjournal".

My parents and relatives are still overseas, and they'll be only back on Wednesday. I'll probably have to mop the floor tomorrow or something. After work. And I'll need to throw in some time for chinese revision, too.

Sacrifices must be laid out before God. I've already laid out a few, but it's just so tempting to turn back and retrieve the offerings made to God. But a decision is a decision, and God is above all my priorities. If they ever were priorities.

A beautiful song by Hillsong United. I like the lyrics. And of course the repeated bassline.

I don't care what they say about me
It's all right, all right
I don't care they think about me
It's all right, they'll get it one day

I love you, I'll follow you
You are my, my life
I will read my Bible and pray
I will follow you all day

I don't care what it costs anymore
Cos' you gave it all and I'm following you
I don't care what it takes anymore
No matter what happens I'm going your way

All Day
All Day now
All Day
I'll follow You

Anyone around can see just how good you've been to me
For all my friends that don't know you
I pray that you would save them too

Why fight alone, when we can fight with the commander of the whole universe? I've let my pride overcome me far too often, but it's only with humility can we seek and borrow God's strength for the spiritual war ahead. Will we fall on our knees today in reverence of the Lord of indescribable magnificence? Lord, rain down on me.

I am falling to my knees
I need You Lord to breathe in me
My prayer is still the same
My heart is calling out Your name

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Here in Your presence I am free
Pour down like rain
Come and touch me again
Lord let Your presence fall on me

I’m longing just to see
Your power and Your majesty

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Sweet anointing
Wash me over
Sweet anointing
Wash me over
