"EMMANUEL, GOD WITH US"
I do not need to live in fear,
Nor do I need to worry about tomorrow,
For tomorrow will worry about itself.
God is with us all the time,
on our left,
on our right,
and when we think he's not there.
When we're happy,
when we're sad,
God is with us,
so be glad.
For he's love for us can never be stopped,
no matter where we have been,
or what we have done.
Hence, put God as your number one,
and everything else will follow through,
for impossible is nothing for one so mighty
even death holds no power
over one so great.
As since God is with us,
we can do all things,
as long as we have faith,
as long as we acknowledge the spirit,
as long as we call upon his name,
he will hear us,
and he will come.
Home, I know I am home,
I hear heaven's angels sing
Father you welcome me.

Awakening #1
Today I am thankful that I decided to attend the Planetshakers' conference.
I realised the shocking truth that I wanted to go not because of Jesus or God, but because of Planetshakers, well known for throwing a good 'Christian rave party' I realised that I based my decision on the wrong purpose, and I think God reminded me tonight through the pastor's words.
The pastor also talked about the renewal of our commitment to God.
Sometimes, we may say that we love God, but very often we do not love him first. God does not deserve to be second place, third place, or any other place other than first. Anything that comes before God, is an idol, and that idol has to be destroyed. It was at that moment that I felt it, how my pursuit of enjoying my break has wedged me against the one who has been there for me through the lowest moments of my life, and has blessed me with too many things.
Hence, I've made some new resolutions.
1. To focus on God as my one and only goal. Everything else will come after.
2. To cut down on the time spent on aimless browsing on the web.
3. To do my deviation everyday
4. To fully commit every aspect of my life to HIM.
Elisabeth Elliot: "Refuse self-pity. Refuse it absolutely. It is a deadly thing with power to destroy you. Turn your thoughts to Christ who has already carried your griefs and sorrows"
