Offering


Take this offering that I bring
Humbly I fall on my knees
To proclaim Your everything
My life's nothing without You
Take my hand and lead me through
You are my sustaining love


I was reminded by Rev. Edmund Chan that when we pray to ask God to change us, are we only willing to let God change our flaws? How about our strengths? 

If God were to take away your flaws and change your character, PRAISE GOD! If God were to say 'Hey, I'm not only gonna change your flaws, I'm gonna change your strengths as well". Would you be willing to give that up and let God change you? It's easy to say 'OF COURSE! Cause I know God will give me new strengths and I know He always wants the best for me'. True, no doubt about that.. I think the hardest part is surrendering it.

Are you willing to surrender your gifts and talents, even your dreams to God if God ask you to? 

Pastor Noah told me that God might destroy our dreams and He'll raise those dreams again so that our dreams would be His dreams for us as well. 

Learning to surrender :)

Show up

Sometimes we're so focus on the people who matters a lot to us and neglected the people who cares and loves us humbly and quietly around us. From time to time, I have that blind spot as well.

Looking back the "downs" in life, God opened up my eyes to see people who are willing to stay and be faithful in friendships. Sometimes a simple act of just sitting beside a person 
without any questions asked would be more than enough, actions would mean so much more than words. 

Woody Allen quoted "80% of success is showing up". Touching people's lives and hearts is a success, in fact it's more than success. Sometimes I wish you would show up and I hope I have that chance to show up in your life as well. 
I cherish our friendship, that's the only reason why I care.



 When you really matter to someone, that person will always make time for you. No excuses, no lies, and no broken promises.

Show up. If you really care a person. 


I know every mile, will be worth my while



I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be


I can be there some day
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while

I will go most anywhere
To feel like I belong


Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though that road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through


And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart


Like a shooting star
I will go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...


I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms

that's when I look at You

Changes are good. Yet scary sometimes.
To really think of where I'll be next year really gave me a weird feeling. If you were to ask me last year, the thought of leaving KK excites me. Literally, excites me. Ask me again now I can give you a whole new answer.

At the beginning of this year, the thought of leaving KK aint that scary cause a great great friend and I planned to go to the same Uni together. Plan to live together and all that. But people change. Be amazed by how time can prove a person's passion, for the better or for the worse. But i guess it's okay, one thing I've learn is that God will provide the right people at the right timing for the right reason in your life. Does it hurt when things didn't turn out it should be, yea of course. But i guess that's where we learn to really trust God more and more. 


It's November now, 2011 is gonna end very very soon. My exam is gonna end very soon as well, just 2 more papers to go. I had accounts Paper 1 today. As i was praying before I start my paper, i thought 'if i were to get a result that would disappoint me, will i still praise and love God as much, compare to a flying colours result?'. Somehow it challenged my faith, as if God was asking me that question. God promised that He has plans for us, plans to prosper and not harm us, plans to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). If i were to get a C or a D in any of my subjects, but if it will still help me to get into a Uni that i want, will i be contented and praise God? 

Will I still love God if my results ain't what i expected?
Will I still love God if He would show me people that i love dearly were to leave again?
Will I still love God if things doesn't go my way?
Will I still love God...if I'm not doing the things i do today?
Will I still love God...if i were to lose everything that is valuable to me?

Things change. People change. It sucks.
But God's love endures forever. 
And I guess that's all what it matters.


"When I Look At You"

Everybody needs inspiration

Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody when the night's so long
'Cause there is no guarantee that this life is easy

Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you


When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I
I look at you


When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that prove to me
All I need, every breath that I breathe
Don't ya know, you're beautiful
