this song just came to my mind as i quieten my heart for the night.

honestly, i havent listened to this song since the time i went to penang, which was a year and half ago.

you-tubed it. and saw how mel greene sang for this. and it's almost like she is preaching it to me that yes, life now is so uncertain and fragile. we need to share to our loved ones, that they really need to know that they have an opportunity to taste and see, the love of His. and He is more than a story, more than words on the page, of history.

and truly. this song is my prayer for the night.

Avalon- Everything to me.

I grew up in Sunday school
I memorized the Golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But i'll never be the same
Because he changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that i'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I've found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet you saying you've been...

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me
Lord, you're everything to me

birthday came; and birthday went. nevertheless, it marked an important journey for me. and it was a good and simple time. i enjoyed it.

i think the year as a 22 was probably the life's greatest learning lessons so far- of course, i know that there will be more along the way. it's a year filled with so much challenges, excitement, laughter, and definitely tears.

and so now. looking forward to a growing 23.

anyway, i thank the Lord for such a journey. couldnt ask for more.

i had a rather happy day today. i think a simple life, is quite a fulfilling life on its own. went to the supermart, browsed through Word, got home for dinner, watched amazing race and news.

listening: mark schultz- walking her home.

i finally bought his cd. i have thought about it for a whole year. haha. o well. :) no regrets.

5 days ago- i was battling with the coldest night of all at 5degrees. i squirmed in the bed and had sore muscles.

5 days later- i was still battling with the weather, the hottest at 30degrees.

man, when will it come to a nice equilibrium! haha.

my delight; You are my delight...

it's one of rhema's nightly lullabies. her room is just beside mine. and i listen to it almost every night.

read her bible today too. the children's one. was refreshing, colourful, and insightful. how great are the hands of those who pen and draw the bible with such creativity, simplicity, yet not losing it's full meaning.

from the bible, i finally could remember the names of the twelve disciples. haha. i am going around to ask people to name the 12 disciples now!

saw on shirley m's blog that a good laugh, a good sleep are the best cures in a doctor's book.

i think i am regressing bit, like an infant since i came back melb; i seem to need at least 10 hours of sleep before i feel kinda satisfied. 12 hours the best; but rare are those days.

and yeah, a gd laugh is what i need too. :))

was reading a devotional blog. and it was uplifting to the heart.

"garment of praise". from Isaiah 61:3

it was an entry of what are we clothing ourselves with day to day. we make decisions- major or minor every single day to choose what to put on on our physical body.

what about choosing what garment to put on, on our spiritual body?

Colossians 3:5

1Peter 5:5

my prayer, is that i'll be able to consistently clothe myself with a garment of praise, in every season, in every circumstance. amen.

Desert Song- Brooke Fraser, Hillsong.
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

blessed birthday suettty ho on children's day!!

The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.

Psalms 19:8-9
