Holy Spirit, my enabler. What a wonderful revelation.

Till the earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the seas.

Worshipping in spirit and truth. It's 2 or nothing, because only the spirit allows me to be able to worship in truth. And the Spirit is truth.

With one spirit, one song, one shout, one dance.

This is great. In the span of around 2 and a half hours, I have completed:

1 set of geog notes

1 SS PT

AWESOME OR WHAT :D

Hahaha this has been a well spent morning indeed. Still gotta record my SS PT, but I think it's fine, as long as I don't trip over my words haha. I never expected myself to go over time and have had to cut content lol.

Thank you Lord, all that I am, only unto You and only for You. Because it is only through Christ that I live, and for the Father that I live.

2 concerts and 2 movies (albeit the same movie), what a week!

Next week's the work week though :( Gotta get started on SS PT, thank God the deadline's extended haha even though yes it's just one weekend. It DOES make a difference. Grah, I wish they could just take my mid year marks and that's the end of the story. Haha.

How do I showcase Saudi Arabia the lack of new media :/

When the world teeters over, the few seconds before it falls, but compounded in a dream.

I need You so much and more than ever Lord. How do I get back to where You are

Reading about the Singapore Church. It saddens me greatly. And I don't know what to think sometimes, actually.

I have been praying for the unity of the churches, and been fasting for that also, as we stand as one in the Body of Christ.

Unity in the essentials, liberty in non-essentials.

But just how do I bless and pray for churches whose main doctrines I do not even agree with? I should think the GOSPEL itself is under essentials, since it is by this that we are saved.

Pray tell me, how do we experience the full measure and power of God's grace when we do not ever see our sin?

Is there light if there is no darkness?

Is there good when there is no bad?

Is there beauty when there is no ugliness?

Is there forgiveness without sin?

Please. Go and read your Bible. Tell me what Paul says about himself.

'when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.'

1Corinthians 4:13

Let us stand as one, always looking towards the Cross. Let not our focus and motivations be about the numbers, the glitz and glam, the happiness index, the "professionalism", and what not. Let our focus be on Christ and Christ alone. In Him and only in Him, we stand. Talent contests and whatchamit, what are we becoming, the entertainment industry?

The Cross and only the Cross.

My dear friends, have we forgotten Calvary? Have we forgotten that to live is Christ and to die is gain? Have we forgotten that in denying ourselves, taking our cross to follow Him, we take upon His yoke which is easy, and His burden that is light?

Truly, it is not about works. Because none of us have deserved this. It is not by my measure of faith, nor by how much I "feel". It is by Christ and Christ alone.

So let's stop all these, lest the cross be stripped of its power.

Lord, will you be glorified and lifted up in the Singapore Church. It is not to us that we seek to draw men, but to You and only to You. Let us lose ourselves, and instead, find you. Let us trade all that we are, for all that You are.

Don't you wish sometimes, that days reset?

Just sometimes. Otherwise we'd never move on.

But this life. It's a process. And call me a nerd, but it's really like every other process on earth. Erosion doesn't take place in one day. It's after many days, many nights, many years. Sedimentation works the same way too.

Little by little. Where did all these fissures come from?

The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-red moon which now shone vividly through that once barely-discernible fissure of zigzag direction, to the base. While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened--there came a fierce breath of the whirlwind--the entire orb of the satellite burst at once upon my sight -- my brain reeled as I saw the mighty walls rushing asunder-- there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters--and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the"House of Usher."

Edgar Allen Pole, 'Fall of the House of Usher'

On another note, exams are FINALLY over. After 3 weeks hahaha. -does happy jig-
And EYAs are in a month. As again, love the school's timetabling.

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave

i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might

I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here

But the comfort of you near is what i long for

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same

When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray

And I want you more than i want to live another day

And as I wait for you, maybe I'm made more faithful

I'm tired of studying. I'm tired of school as it is. Both literally and physically.

At times like these, where I feel so world-worn.

The weariness creeps in.

Lord, I just want to be with You. I know you are all around, but. Really. To be able to let go of everything.

Am I not trusting anymore?

Have I lost focus, once again?

Do I just repeat empty words day after day?

What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil -- this is God's gift to man.

Ecclesiastes 3:9-13

Oh vanity of vanities!

Lord I testify, that You are sovereign. And You are the eternal one.

Your posts get on my nerves.

I don't know what kind of image you think you're portraying, but dude. The internet is a free for all place. Every single thought that you blog is out there for the world to see. And it'd do us all well to watch what we post, and most especially, in the language that we use in posting. The power of new media much?

Insensitive? I'm sorry but maybe we got it wrong. Maybe you're just being too sensitive.

Can you truly say that you are shining as a light for all the world to see, with Christ in you, the hope of glory?

Love more than you like.

Love goes beyond liking,

And we are commanded to love.

Love:

a deliberate act of the will,

a conditioning of the mind,

an attitude of the heart.

With this, I can say truly that Love always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

'The finality deepens , a burning icy ocean that engulfs my world, a cathedral of fading stars.'

It's amazing to read, and to know what kind of thoughts run through the head of these faces that I see in school. Merely faces, for I do not know them. But here, voices. Somehow they are not easily associated to the faces that I see, that pass me by so fleetingly.

But it frustrates me when I do not get their message.

In the deepest recesses of my mind,

The thoughts that dance past;

In the depths of my heart,

The flash of emotion,

Sometimes.

And therein the will,

A quiet power;

It moves me,

Always.
