One way
You are the Way, the Truth and the Life,
I live by faith and not by sight,
For You, for You!
I cast all my cares on You
I cast, all my cares on You.
I lay, all of my burdens down at Your feet.
And, everytime I don't know what to do,
I will cast all my cares on you....
Jesus, Lover of my soul
Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Jesus, I will never let You go,
You've picked me up,
From the miry clay,
You've set my feet upon the Rock,
And now I know,
I need You
I love You
Though my world may fall
I'll never let You go.
My Saviour,
My closest Friend,
I will worship You
Until the very end...

We had to a presentation on the history fiel trip. I had volunteered to do the powerpoint. When i added the photos to the slides, I knew they would take up space but I didin't about how it would affect the loading porocess and all that. After all, i could be considered as a computer half-illiterate. i dunno, when we couldn't load the ppt that they, someone said something that hurt me. She didn't do anything. She was just being herself. Ever so straightfoward. She wasn't being difficult. it just occured to me at that poin that it was because of me that we couldn't present for 2 consecutive days.
Then, during chapel yesterday, I felt that God was trying to speak to me to the speaker. We talked about difficult people and baing difficult ourselves. False guilt. not being able to forgive ourselves. Are we bigger than god that He says to forgive us but we say that we cannot forgive ourselves? it made me think, really hard. Why was i blaming myself soo much when my grp members had already forgiven me. God too. I should receive His forgiveness in open arms not folded.
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins, Lord. Because for Jesus, I know that i'm safe. And, I am determined now to live that life you've given me. I'll live for the line and not the dot. The life God rewards. I read that book and probably will read it again cos I don't quite understand. but, Lord I want to bring back that 10 minas for you. I want to believe that you are the rewarder and it matters to you what we do.

woah! It's been such a long time since I last blogged. Everybody doing fine? So much has had happened this past month. History field trip, the usual common tests, band performances at Istana and Sentosa....I'm just so glad and thankful to God for always being there for me. HE is faithful indeed. HE never lets go. I know. And, because of for this I know that no matter what happens, there will always be someone who loves me, who cares for me, who will never let me go. Amen!
Just came back from kids read, the kids were as usual so cute and fun! Especially Sherwin. Typical preschool mischievous boy. He kept teasing the girl. They even ended up arguing a bit. Luckily there was no ' I don't friend you' !!!

devotion.
Oh my, I finally got to use the com. I' ve waiting to use for ages! Okay, first, I just wanted to share this devotion I heard last week. It's my school's tradition to have this time in the mornings set aside for the sharing of God's word. i foun the devotion by Ya Hui extremely 发人深省 that day. She told a real story about how a girl's brand-new guitar had been scratched and how devasted she felt. She tried to comfort the girl but was kind of at lost at what to sya, Then, she heard God speaking to her; He wanted Ya Hui to tell that girl something. ya hui felt that those woerds were alittle too harsh but felt compelled to do it. So, she told the girl that like she was so devasted that that her guitar got scrtached, God was also feeling sad that that there a scratches and cuts on the girl. Self-inflicted cuts on the wrists. These words did not made the crying stop instead she cried even more.
but, isn't it so true that our God indeed pains when He sees what we're doing to destroy our life? Ya Hui shared that even one of the characters in the bible asked God to take his life away when things got tough. Is this what God wants us to do? give up or destroy our lives? Let's take some time to ponder about this.
cluster arts fest
we had clusters arts not too long ago. It was fun. I enjoyed th busking a lot. We had differet people performing, from bands to even a magic show! Whwn it ended, ther was even a chance for us to vot, it reminded of 绝对superstar! haha. The concert was nice too. There were few primary and some secondary schools who performed.
band performance @ istana
Band got a chance to perform for the president at the istana yesterday. We had quite a lot of fun. I think that best part was the photo-taking session with the president and Mrs Nathan. After that, we got a chance to tour the istana, for free. Woah! The air-con was so heavenly! Outside, the sun was soo hot! haha. Any way, when we got back to school, we had curry puffs to eat. Even though there was chilli, I couldn't care less ! I was so hungry.
