From the Inside Out -Hillsong
A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
my spiritual walk
introduced to Christ when i started school - St Anthony's Convent. we had morning prayers and hymns together with national anthem and school song.
we had mass in the chapel and for some of us it was a break away from lessons, a time to rest our eyes, a time to do nothing. for me it was a break and sometimes a short nap. :)
all i remembered was that i could ask for anything from heaven by going through Mother Mary. i believed because everytime i lose something, i'll pray and i'll find it.
it was a process that always worked. childlike faith? i guess so. there were no doubts then. i just believed. now that i think back, i didn't pray through Mary, i just asked to be
led to where my lost items were and waited for signs. sadly, there was also no deep or sincere gratitude. just a simple "thank you" after that.
this went on all through my school days. however, somewhere along the way, i forgot about the asking for assistance or directions. i made things happen on my own and depended on my own strength.
sometime after seconday school, a friend brought me a to a Christian service...CULTURE SHOCK! where were the books? where was the process? where were the instructions? there was
nothing for me to follow! i didn't know when to kneel or when to stand or what to say. however, i enjoyed the service. lost contact with my friend soon after and didn't step into
a church after that until some years later for my sister's baptism. started going on and off with my family as shortly after that, my parents and sisters got saved and baptised but not me.
...the story continues in "my journey".

where have i been? i have been on my own. i have been away from Him. everytime i close my eyes to pray, i fall asleep. i miss the closeness i have with Him. whatever little time i can have, i pray but it is different because it is not as deep as i will like it to be. He has given me lots of opportunities and i have yet to act on them. whatever it is, i am grateful because though i have been away, He has stayed closed to me. my timetable for the day is always divinely arranged. working on a tight schedule, overlapping arrangements are unavoidable. however, everything will somehow be adjusted and all appointments will fall in place nicely on it's own with no effort on my part. what else can i ask for? the Lord sure knows my heart. throughout the few weeks of being busy, i have learnt to rest in Him for i know He will take care of me. when i fall, He will pick me up. when i am weary, He will let me rest. when i am about to make a mistake, He will let me know. i would have made many mistakes in the busy-ness of the past few weeks but i get reminders of what i have missed out and the gaps i needed to fill in. thank You so much for loving me, for accepting me, for watching over me. thank You.
Psalm 36:7 How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
Thank you for your unfailing love...

remember your first encounter with God? remember when you were first touched by His love? it is always something i can fall back on when i need to remember. every morning when i wake up, i see Him watching over me, i know He is walking with me to the train station and He watches over me as i make my way to work. i know how He stands up for me when i feel accused or betrayed or unfairly treated through the course of the day. no matter what happens, it feels good at the end of the day to know that He has been watching out for me and brought me safely back home and made my day a blessed one to thank for.
all the blessings i receive, i want to give thanks, i want to share, i want to serve. basking in my joy, i pray that i don't forget it is because of Him, that i have what i have, that i am who i am, that i will be who i will be. i must remember to not only give but find time to receive for without Him, i am nothing.
For all the wants in this world, we just need one thing - JESUS. For He is the joy, the hope and the peace. He is the way, the truth and the life.
Life is beautiful when you look upwards and outwards instead of inwards and down
Do God's work with no doubt, only faith
Let go of all your burdens and go through the eye of the needle
Colossians 1:27 - "the hope of God being seen in our world is found in you and me..and this is the way God created it.And the hope of God's love being heard is found in the words we speak"
if you remove this, i'll come after you!muahaha want!ng xxxxxx
