yesterday, today, and even tomorrow; everytime.

Really like this song, yes this is the anthem for SOT :)

In Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I’ll overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope

Is Christ alone

In Christ alone do I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
For only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor in just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses to the glory of my Lord

 

Thank You for these awesome 6 months, truly indeed I overcomed SOT only by Your grace. I always marveled at how I even managed to step into SOT, I mean I signed up only at the last min – the night before the closing date! I always sees it as a grace upon me, but Your grace never stops, its new every morning.

I love every single bit of SOT (ok maybe not the waking up at 7am part haha) – from the P&W to the lessons (yes I know sometimes I fall asleep haha) but still, the encounters with You were precious, so priceless that I’d never exchanged for anything.

A big thank you to You and team 3, for making my summer awesome. It has truly been an unforgettable 6 months indeed.

There were time I wanted to give up; there were times I could have just drop everything and leave, get away. But I am thankful I didn’t at that point in time. There were trials and tribulations, and persecutions – many indeed. But I got through, we got through it :) Many a time I thought I couldn’t make it through, but another new day of SOT awaits right in front. The grace brought us from glory, to glory.

And apart from being thankful, I think SOT has also been more than just grace and mercy upon me – it was an eye opener and learning experience indeed. I could never deny the amount of knowledge I took in, the number of new experiences I had. I see deliverance, I see the move of the Holy Spirit, I see the falling under the power of God – too many to name them all.

I remember telling Shiming how much I’ve grown during SOT, I never felt this stable before SOT. SOT have molded me, where our characters and values were tested. Tough test, but I’m glad to have emerged stronger for even greater things ahead :)

And my honest confessions are way too many. I admit I’ve become a better person. Through SOT, I truly learnt how to humble myself. Been too prideful the whole of my life, I’m glad I’ve toned down on this. Still working on being a better person, a better friend, a better daughter indeed. Through SOT, I stepped out of my comfort zone, and did things that I never expected myself to have done – leading a mission trip team with Hawsan/preaching tests/leading a mock cg; wonderful memories indeed haha.

 

And apart from this, I am thankful for every single friend in my life who supported me, and of course my SOT friends/team mates who ran this race together – CLASS OF 2011, WE MADE IT! :D

A big thank you to..

Shirley & Emily – My PPG, thankyou both for the laughters and the memories, really great to have grown closer, laughing at each other and understanding each other more. There are times we weren’t too good with each other’s styles but I’m glad we came through this together :) and yes for all the blessings and breakfasts too!

W550 graduates – thank you all for running this race together, 7 of us made it, not easy but let’s move on to serve the cg in an even greater way! :)

Rhonda’s cg members/team 3 friends (aka yiling, rayna, wyncy, hweeying, yangling) – very glad and thankful to have known you girls in these 6 months, you girls are the nicest people I’ve ever seen around, thank you all for the memories :)

Yanli/team 3 members – you guys are the most perfect team ever in my eyes :) thankful for a close relationship with my leader hehe.

Kim – how can I forget you :) thank you baby for the support, be it my ups or downs, you were always there to comfort and encourage, as a boyf, as a SOT graduate, as a mentor, thank you love :)

yixian,evelyn, jiamin,peiyi,cheryl – thank you friends whom I hold closely to my heart :)

 

Back to school tmr, thank You God, may we all grow from glory to glory! AMEN! :D

 

Changes

“Seasons change, just like how people do too”

How true.

 

I may be just too sensitive or just too insecure.

We might have just gotten too used to each other.

 

It just seems like she takes up a bigger part of your life now, that maybe all the rest of the past doesnt seem to matter to you, anymore.

 

Like how I always put it, maybe it actually just amounts to this much at the end of the day.

You turned away, but sorry I backed away after that.

more than sufficient.

A thousand times I’ve failed

Still Your mercy remains

And should I stumble again

Still I’m caught in Your grace

 

Enlarge my capacity as I rise up Lord, not my wisdom but Yours.

so much thoughts

Its been so long since I last sat down and pen my thoughts. Much had happened ever since the last post and best part: EXAMS ARE OVER AND SUMMER’S HERE! Hahaha joke, its been almost a month and I am only talking about it now. Busy enjoying? Nah, not exactly.

Here’s what I’m up to: SOT in the morning till 1pm, chionging to work at alexandra terrace on three days of the week as an admin clerk (or whatever term you call it haha) and tuition at night if necessary haha.

SOT has truly indeed been such a tremendous blessing. While it might be tough to be disciplined to wake up at 630am in the morning every weekday, but man, the rewards are far more worth it.

Did my ever first practical last week about prophecy – wow so amazing and fun! Serving even more and more in chorus board – an amazing and humbling experience I must say. Life’s been exciting much. Hehe.

Easter was a blast, received rather positive responses from friends who came, and the drama was awesome!

Today’s practical on the word of knowledge has been great, managed to prophesy zhun zhun for the first time in my life – SHIRLEY’S TOOTHBRUSH COLOUR HAHAHA, but jokes aside, its rather amazing and a wow moment when you just see that image and find yourself right in the end.

Stressful much in the beginning but still, you never know the journey HS will take you upon ;)

The presence of God has been getting more tangible each day in SOT that I’m getting addicted to it, man, cant stop weeping today. Yes, it was THAT strong. How true were Pst Meng’s (haha omg I love him, awesome preacher!) words, you must first minister to yourself before you can minister to others, words of an uber annointed man.

Mock cg is coming up next week, been spamming ONE WAY, super scared of clapping and rhythm zzzz. I hope its gonna be fine! :)

SOT aside, been so busy with work and tuition etc, I HAVE YET TO MEET UP WITH ANY ONE OF MY FRIENDS. Okay, except for Wendy (supper time is the only time I can make it most of the time).

Calling out to : xian, evelyn, jiamin, peiyi, coolios, AM DATING ALL OF YOU!

Hahaha, boy, I missed them! *need to spend more time tog! :)

May’s here, how fast. Year 1 ended and I’m no longer a freshman?! HAHAHHAHA, year 2 next sem, kinda cant wait to get out of school though hmm. Every sch term kills much of my brain cells, kinda dreading the next sem zzz oh well hmm.

Am longing for a getaway, anyone? (or money please come to me? HAHHAHAHA)

Kinda tire myself out these weeks :(

But still, am glad that school’s out, even though exams are looming next week.

Need to feed my soul badly after exams, its been a rough semester, even though a fulfilling one indeed :)

Got to pray more for my upcoming MA and biz law exams! (YEAH TWO PAPERS ^^) and that everything goes fine, really need divine intervention this timeeeeeeeeee.

 

 

 

I know Father you see my efforts and my heart, I will be strong and be of good cheer.

One way

I lay my life down at Your feetCause You’re the only one I need I turn to You and You are always there

In troubled times it’s You I seek I put You first that’s all I need I humble all I am all to You

(Here we go!)

One way Jesus You’re the only one that I could live for One Way Jesus You’re the only one that I could live for

You are always, always there Every how and everywhere Your grace abounds so deeply within me

You will never ever change Yesterday today the same Forever till forever meets no end

(Here we go!) One way Jesus You’re the only one that I could live for One Way Jesus You’re the only one that I could live for One way Jesus You’re the only one that I could live for One Way Jesus You’re the only one that I could live for

You are the Way the Truth and the Life We live by faith and not by sight for You We’re living all for You You are the Way the Truth and the Life

We live by faith and not by sight for You We’re living all for You

One way Jesus You’re the only one that One Way Jesus You’re the only one that One Way Jesus You’re the only one that One Way Jesus You’re the only one that

I could live for

I could live for

I could live for

I could live for

thank you for Your presence today once more, to remind me why I went down to the altar call one year ago.

at the end of the day.

Its been, too long. Anyway I’m back! School’s been really crazy but its already the last 2 weeks before study break and then exams come. Can’t wait for the first summer break seriously, desperately needs a life, a break and a getaway. But first, let’s clear the molehill of work as one comes after another.

Too many things have been happening. Too many to be said. Happy and sad, you name it, I have it.

Anyhow, SOT has been extremely rewarding. Despite the two lessons or maybe even lesser than that in a week, each lesson never fails to take me away. I simply cannot wait for the time I become a full time, as I call myself an adhoc SOT student now haha, joke.

-

 

Some things have been mind boogling, heart’s been heavy at times. Running away? Escaping? Avoiding?

In any manner, heavy work schedule has been a help.

 

I don’t know, maybe its just too disappointing a fact, too heartbreaking a truth.

Many questions I’ve been asking myself, but I never seem to get an answer though.

Internal struggle – come on, give me a break, tell me what should I be doing.

 

No – no bitterness, no anger, nothing.

Perhaps this could be dealt with in a better manner.

 

Maybe all these years could have been outweighted by an incident.

And indeed, it seems that all these amounts to  - nothing.

Thank you for teaching me that.

No eye has see
No ear has heard
Unfailing love
Far beyond words
The cross I see
Your blood redeems
My imperfection
Your hands divine
Come shape this heart of mine

Here I stand, thirsting for You
Here I am, surrender to You
Let my life be Your clay
Mould me in Your way
Here I stand, desperate for You
Here I am, a vessel for You
Let me life sing Your praise
Bring honour to Your name

Beauty unfolds
Joy overflows
Your grace begins
This treasure within

Above all else
Above all else
We exalt You
We exalt (You)
