What is the will of God?

The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

Who likes this??

"Never ask for a task that fit your ability, but ask for the ability to complete the task"
Anyone out there likes trials? If so, please contact me and share with me your secret to liking them.....meanwhile, I struggle to face many things. In my mind are questions, are ponders and thoughts that have been generated for the past few weeks....it can be quite draining. O how I wish I could just lay back, relax and not think of anything. You know how it feels to confront your fears? I was telling Nick yest...its like I had a fear of crossing monkey bar due to a fall when I was young...so when confronted by it again, I would take a long time to consider and consider before I try to confront and overcome...sometimes I even back out! Argh..........!!!!!!!
Fear of difficulties, hardships, troubles, problems, challenges, trials, failure....
I need faith..but its weak at this moment.....I told Christy that I have the passion, but it seems to leak our because of all these fears...Lord, please help...!!!!!!
Whatever it is, whoever is the one leading...help me not to rely on Man but YOU!

I feel like crying...

Your Blood

We've pierced Your hands
We've broken Your heart
We've caused the One who loved us
To give Himself up for us
In tears You chose
The path that would make the difference for me
The blood that trickled from Your hands
Cleansed all my iniquities
The blood that smeared the sword
Of the accusations of man
Erased the denial of truths
Forgiven the faults I have
Your blood has brought me holiness
Your blood has restored my hope
Your blood has rendered me free
The blood that saves the world
The blood that springs from You
Lord I could never repay
I can only ask
Help me to understand this love
Help me to grapple this truth
Of the amazing grace You have for me
Let me not be deprived
Let me not have my head held low
Lead me from here on
Help me find what You have for me
O The blood that bought me
The blood that gave life
I can now breathe again,
I can now live!

The Ordeal

Hi..I'm back after a week's battle with the flu bug. Its been a fighting week for me cos every night I had to overcome and battle against the agony and pain when my temp was 39+ C. To some points I even thought I would become an idiot if my temp continue to go up....I was so afraid of becoming mad. I cried out to the Lord during those times I suffered (hey I really did....this is not self pity ok) and I said "Lord, have mercy on me!"...with that I managed to fall asleep somehow. Having my temp @ 38+ had become a norm to me during the week.....finally at the 3rd attempt to rescue myself, I saw the doctor one last time (if this fails, I would get myself warded) and she changed all my medicine and ran my blood to test for dengue. Thank God for her.....the medicine worked splendidly and I was dengue free!!!
I had to miss my best friend's bdae celebration and I felt super miserable about it. The last thing I wanted to do was to stay at home to wait until I'm better. I missed church on Sunday too...O man...I didn't like this feeling.
I suspect that Prince Charming (my boss) passed the bug to me....but I have no proof so forget it, I'm not gonna get back at him. Afterall, it was a good and timely break for me as well from all the work. =)
Okie dokie...shall pen off here...tata!
