Dreams...

True satisfaction of dreams comes when you translate that mental picture into action...

I long for the freedom within me to do that.... Dreams remain dreams when there is no thought of action to fulfil it... It brings frustration and deep sense of disatisfaction. Creative expressions of my dreams through songs and dance, through the art of love and the joy of giving. Freedom to dream and to fulfil the dreams that He has laid on my heart.

Touched By Your Grace

You took my unworthiness
You restore my brokenness
You gave hope to my shattered dreams
Brought meaning to every pain

You called me by my name
You gave my life a plan
That I might see each day I live
Counts b’cos of Your Grace

Chorus:
Lord Jesus, You are the treasure of my heart
My song and strength in my darkest night
Lord Jesus, You are the real joy giver
You dance with me, rejoice with me on the highest mountain
And I am forever amaze by You
Touched by Your Grace

When I look at the stars in the sky
The sun that rises from the east
It reminds me of Your promises
And Your faithfulness endures till the end

Dreams that You’ve laid on my heart
Songs that You gave me to sing
They are trails to remind me of
Your well of grace never runs dry

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
And I am amazed
Touched by Your grace
Be still my soul
And know that You are God.

The beauty of His Love

He is my song in the darkest night, my dance partner on the high mountain. I am amaze by His love for me. The love of christ upon our lives is the most perfect picture of beauty one could ever paint. If we are seeking for what real beauty means, just ponder on the love of God.

The Lord brings this revelation of beauty to me today. Seriously, I have never look at the love of God as the perfect illustration of beauty. Many says that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... however, I see it differently now.. The measuring rod of beauty is the love of Christ. The love of God is able to cast out all fear... the love of God empowers, the love of God brings acceptance.... the love of God covers a multitude of sins... The love of God is beauty... When one is touched by the power of His love, His love will beautify the person inside out!

It's really great to be in love with Him all over again... Our love relationship has matured over the past months of storms and uncertainty, fears and pain. Pain has taught me God's love.... I need to be beautify by His love continually cos it is every bride's desire to look the best before her groom.

The race

Fom glory to glory... strength to strength.....

Art of Love

Loving God equates to loving myself healtily and loving others passionately. I've made a discovery this morning that wat the Lord was doing in my life since the last weekend was actually an answer to my cry since the beginning of the year. I told the Lord that this year the thing I desire most is that I will learn to love Him, love myself and love others in a different way. Well... a whole bulk of the year has gone thinking that it should be on the list of my next new year resolution again... hmm...

Loving God means to be vulnerable to Him. When we come to the state of vulnerabilty, that is when the our heart is soft for Him to speak and to leave an eternal footprint. Eh... I am not so comfortable with this state of vulnerabilty after all.. It makes me very fearful of pain ... well that leads me to the next part - loving myself... The closeness and intimacy with God reveals much of my needs and my struggle with acceptance. Can I love myself enough to accept my need? Am I able to face my lack and inadequacies without dispising myself? That is art... acceptance is an art... it is from my point of view. I don't deny my struggles but I am not afraid to face them now... I need to move on... I need to be healed to move on... My latter journey won't allow me carry this baggage with me I suppose.... It a choice.... It's tough only if my flesh still fights for it's prominence. The power of surrender releases the strength...the strength to move on.... the strength to love others...

Lord, help me not to hold back this love You have showered upon my life... Let it flow to areas that are hurting in my heart so that out of my heart will release the ability to receive Love and to love others passionately....

A different path...

It's tough having to learn to denial yourself, pick up the cross and follow Him. However, it is only tough and painful when our flesh is still alive, fighting for its prominence in this insignificance inhabitation. I need strength to go on... need courage to face myself... I am serious about it.. no more wilderness.. Why din I come to this place earlier? Well, the process of journeying to this place has taught me much. I remember as a young christian the Lord speak to me from the book of Isaiah that He is going to lead me in ways I have never known and paths I have never been before. I have a different path to travel on, a differnt pair of shoes to accompany the journey. The journey came to a point of great pain and struggle.. I am letting it go now. I choose to surrender so that pain will cease and strength revive.

Looking forward to the prize set before me... looking forward to the promises He gave... Trusting in His Love

Surrounded by the crowd of witnesses
Gone before us in the race already won
Challenged by their unduanted spirit,
Not looking back at the bridges already burnt
Your love is their strength
Your promises are their hope
With complete trust,
they continued on with full assurance of an eternal destiny
You are their song in the darkest night,
Their dance steps on the high mountain
Not forsaken by your gentle whispher when strayed
Not without Your comfort when hurt
Your unfailing love motivates a weary heart
Your strong arms supports a feeble knee
You are forever faithful....
I will trust!

With Love,
Your beloved

Change

Erm... the thought of change would probably put some people off... It means doing things differently, responding to things in a different way, getting your butts off your comfort zone and all that you can whine about to procastinate change. Well, like i say.... it will put some people off.... however, there are others who views change in a different light. To move on to a higher profile means we need to do things differently and that is change. Changes precede growth.

It's time for some changes to see myself take on a higher platform. A different approach to my fears, a different response system... It's time....

Footprints

Footprints in the sand

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticedthat it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one setof footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied,"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I Carried You."

Depth

"I think it takes a deep, spiritual encounter with the cross before we're really qualified to call ourselves missionaries." ~ Elizabeth Elliot

The toughest jounrney in life is the road to discipleship. A journey of self-denial and surrender. I know God is teaching me the art of completing this journey well, not merely starting it with zeal. It's tough... my interests conflict with His... Yet there is a cry within me to want to go deeper with Him.

FriEnDs aRe GiFts FrOm GOD!

At different junctions in our lives, friends play different roles. In our younger days, friends are probably just playmates and somewone whom we can whine about the teachers that we don't like, the lessons we dread most and all that stuff that could trouble that small world of ours. Gradually, friends begin to play a bigger role than playmates. They are important catalyst in our pursuits in life... We share our dreams and passion... our plans in life.... They become the pillars in our lives, our support when we are too weak to go on, our watchmen to remind us when the day breaks and it's time to move on in life after a long night of pain and sorrow...

Friends are given to be cherished. I thank God for the friends He has given me. I am still learning how to be a good friend especially to the ones that are closest to my heart. Pray that God will bind this friendship with His unfailing love....

More of You, Lord

Lord I surrender my will to You
Lead me in the way everlasting
Let there be more of You
Less of myself
More of Your love
Less of my self-pity
More of Your presence
Less of the desires of the world
More of Your mercy and grace
that I might give to others
Another glimpse of the cross
that I would see less pain
in the things I am learning to walk through
Help me to understand
Your will for my life

Loving You
Your beloved
