When caterpillar is touched
it yearns to fly to you
Yet You neither forced it to
nor spin its cocoon
Did it ever think
to crash out and turn back hence?
Or fear that You
can really change it?
Help me to soar
wrapped in the arms of love
Till You can make me
as You would have me be
Take me
and fill me with Thy spirit
Take me
and shape me with Thy love
Take me
and make all that You will
No thought
No wish
No breath in life
But yours

Constancy in midst of Chaos
It doesn't take a genius to know that the world around us changes constantly. Even as i write, thousands of molecules in the air are moving and the earth is also revolving. But one thing that i'm so thankful for is the in the midst of all this, our Lord never changes. His love is unceasing till forever...its simply amazing to think that the one who made the sun and the universe knows the number of hairs we have on our heads...haha even when a strand of hair drops, he keeps count u know! He's such a meticulous and excellent friend that you know you don't have to worry much when he's with you. He'll take care of the finer details.
Have been doing some amazing things these couple of days...well been house hunting..."wow"! is the only word that seems to be most apt to describe it! I have been waiting for this "adventure" for a couple of years already....had a couple of decisions to make after view a few units, but they weren't very difficult decisions...well still have more decisions to make...think wat i really need now is added wisdom to discern and make the final decision...of course has to be within my budget, an ideal location, great view and eateries. I've been blessed to have a good agent helping me source out units according to my requirement. However most importantly, I've already submitted the request to Abba :) So i'm sure the results will be the best for me! I'll juz have to wait patiently :)
So friends...stay tune for the great parties at my new place next year :)

Rest Day
Today I didn't have any lessons and had a restful day sleeping and lazying around reading, watching tv, went out for lunch and played some computer games...its so great! really enjoyed it..haha...
I began the day reading the best book of the century....haha...well maybe i'll share some thoughts I had during the day...
I remembered last week, when pastor was sharing with us the secrets of calab, he mentioned that being under good leaders is so very important. I totally agree with him. The people you learn from are the ones that would be the one that will affect our beliefs and in turn how we live.
Pastor was so humorous that day when he talked about not listening to someone's "organ recital"...omg i really laughed my head off...yep so many a times we have the tendency to enjoy complaining and complaining; so now everything i have that urge to open my mouth to complain, I will bite my tongue...haha....It's a great tip to learn..or else we will start to get old faster...haha...and I don't want to be in that list!
So...I've decided to quit complaining, do more listening and resting! :)

Time Spent
Time is often treated like a rare commodity because we often hear people say "I have no time." Actually don't everyone get the same amount of time every day, no more no less...how is it that some people can find time to do things can some can't? That isn't a hard question is it? I personally think that it is a matter of priority we place on doing something, of course different people have different physical and mental capabilities resulting in accomplishing more things in a shorter span of time...
Today, i treated a friend for a birthday lunch. Had a good time of sharing and catching up...it was then i was reminded that who we spend our time with is so important...Would we invest our precious time on people that do not contribute to our lives or would we rather spend quality time on people we care for and would really edify us? I think nobody in the correct frame of mind would spend time on people who treat them as dirt or even take them for granted...so it's important that we make wise decisions on who we want to spend this precious commodity on....so looks like there's going to be a reorganisation in my time priorities now! haha....hmmm i wonder who's going to be on the top priority list?.....haha.....I think i've already worked out the answer already....:)

Friends
Today, my mood wasn't really totally good perhaps because recently i've been searching for myself again....when once in a while we then to sit down and reflect on our life and our past actions and begin to wonder what is this life really all about. Is it about juz living from day to day doing they things we like or is there a higher calling in our lives....
Spent the morning blading at east coast on this hot sunny morning but as I was blading and listening to my Ipod, my thoughts came to my mind. Some sweet memories and some sad ones and reflected how I treated and related the people around me; my family and all my friends....another thing i realised about myself that i'm so human..haha is that an understatement? I have so many weaknesses in me that its sometimes hard for me to be able to stand myself...haha perhaps i'll sit on myself then...haha lame joke....but anyway....fortunately because of his Grace in my life that i've been able to see myself through many situations..also realised that sometimes fears of changes overwhelm me but perhaps thats the time that I'll need him the most and place my focus on Him rather than on things around me....well i'm not a "know it all" person, i'm constantly learning and even till to the day that I pass on from this earth, there are still many things that I have no answers too and many choices that I make, i make it through faith..some may say it's blind faith but everyone has a choice and i've chosen mine...therefore till the day that the sun refuses to shine, i'll remain in his love....and after that i'll be able to see him face to face le....really really really looking forward to that day...hope it will be soon :)
continuing with my story...had a most unstimulating lunch but fortunately the day didn't end on that note....
Met up with my friends and when shopping at the VIVO city at Harbour City...really cool place...u've got to check it out and guess wat the parking is actually free for this limited period of time...:)
My friends were soooo cool, spend so much fun and afterwards headed to Ikea and dinner....we had a good time of chatting and sharing about our latest happenings and they even gave me some valuable advice and tips :) Thanks you so much my dear friends! I know i can always count on you all to add valuable lessons to my life :) I'll try to improve myself so as not to disappoint all of you! YES! YES! I'VE GOT THE MESSAGE! LOUD AND CLEAR! I'll work on it immediately....:)
