Even as i prepare for the tmr i must confessed that i'm stressed out. So many things to do. And truly i can't do it on my own. so many things going on at the same time too.. confuses me, brings me down... but the devil will not have his way and i was strive on and press on for God!!Praying.. praying for Indonesia. Praying for God to heal a broken land. Praying that He will give me the same compassion that He has for the people. Praying that i can learn to reach with His hands and feel with His heart and knowing that I can't do anything.Love Them Like JesusCasting CrownsThe love of her life is drifting awayThey're losing the fight for another dayThe life that she's known is falling apartA fatherless home, a child's broken heartYou're holding her hand, you're straining for wordsYou trying to make - sense of it allShe's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her viewShe's looking to youJust love her like Jesus, carry her to HimHis yoke is easy, His burden is lightYou don't need the answers to all of life's questionsJust know that He loves her and stay by her sideLove her like JesusLove her like JesusThe gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blueLittle blessing from Heaven would be there soonHope fades in the night, blue skies turn to grayAs the little one slips awayYou're holding her hand, you're straining for wordsYou're trying to make sense of it allThey're desperate for hope, darkness clouding their viewThey're looking to youJust love them like Jesus, carry them to HimHis yoke is easy, His burden is lightYou don't need the answers to all of life's questionsJust know that He loves them and stay by their sideLove them like JesusLord of all creation holds our lives in His handsThe God of all the nations holds our lives in His handsThe Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His handsHe cares for them just as He cares for youSo love them like Jesus, love them like JesusYou don't need the answers to all of life's questionsJust know that He loves them and stay by their sideLove them like JesusLove them like Jesus

In Me
Casting Crowns
If you asked me to leap
Out of my boat on the crashing waves
If you ask me to go
Preach to a lost world of Jesus saves
I'll go, but I cannot go alone
'Cause I know I'm nothing on my own
But the power of Christ in me makes me strong
Makes me strong
'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me
'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability
How refreshing to know You don't need me
How amazing to find that you want me
So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength
Untill You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me
If you ask me to run
And carry your light into foreign land
If you ask me to fight
Deliver your people from satan's hand
I'll go, but I cannot go alone 'Cause I know I'm nothing on my own
But the power of Christ in me makes me strong
Makes me strong'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me'Cause I'll never get by living on my own abilityHow refreshing to know You don't need me
How amazing to find that You want me
So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength
Untill You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me
To reach out with Your hands
To learn through Your eyes
To love with the love of a savior
To feel with Your heart
and to think with Your mind
I'd give my last breath for Your glory
'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me
'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability
when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me
'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability
How refreshing to know You don't need me
How amazing to find that You want me
So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength
Untill You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me
The power of Christ in me
The power of Christ in me
was thinking about the vision i had the other day.. was thinking about a lot of things that God has been saying.. ultimately i also wanna keep this song in mind - to remember the reasons for the things i do and to always have a right motive before Him..
feeling kinda lost today.. spoke to someone on the bus... i feel enstranged.. i no longer know where my ministry is... i dunno where the pple are... i wouldn want to say that there's too much christian company... it's not that exactly...i no longer noe wat i'm supposed to do.. and sometimes i feel i'm running too far in front of what has been intended... i feel lost... i dunno where have the pple gone... it's not supposed to be like this...
holding on to you.

By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:24-27 God really knows my thoughts esp after that meeting wid some of my old sch mates... i guess it's also another sort of "warning" about the future... i'm fearful... but i guess it's also to build my faith... these few days have been really tiring.. i just wanna thank God for pullin me through...
holding on to you.
