Tears of the saints
'Having seen all this, you can choose to look the other way, but you can never say again 'I did not know''

A precious two-way conversation
Me:
How long must I pray, must I pray to You?
How long must I wait, must I wait for You?
How long 'til I see Your face, see You shining through?
I'm on my knees, begging You to notice me.
I'm on my knees, Father will you turn to me?
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?
One light, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Won't You come close and hold my heart
I've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes
So much can slip away before I say goodbye.
But if there's no other way, I'm done asking why.
Cuz I'm on my knees, begging You to turn to me
I'm on my knees, Father will you run to me?
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?
One light, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Won't You come close and hold my heart.
So many questions without answers, Your promises remain
I can't sleep but I'll take my chances to hear You call my name
To hear You call my name
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?
One light, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Won't You come close and hold my heart.
Hold my heart, could you hold my heart?
Hold my heart.

Him:
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go

God is not yet done with me
when yongtaufu said "God is not yet done with you two", i only realised how close i was to meeting God that night face to face. Aiks! and only when in the toilet after coming back home, i realised i forgot to thank God for saving my life! i didn't thought it was a serious car accident until the others said it was quite a major one. wooo...=) then i thank God and reflected slowly the whole night...
If that night i were to meet God, i really wasn't ready! i wasn't ready to meet Him, i wasn't prepared! what would He say to me? i couldn't and don't dare to imagine. There are so many things in my life that needs to be changed (for the better) and i know i know that i have to change. My attitude, my lifestyle, the way i treat people, etc. I want to be able to meet Him with confidence and be excited about meeting Him. It's like exams...if we're not well prepared, we fear entering the exam hall because we don't know what will happen; but if we are well prepared, we get excited about the exam and would just want to see how well we studied and how much knowledge we gained. I wasn't ready for God and He knew that i guess. He gave me another chance. wow! a chance to change for the better.
after reflecting much, i started to cherish my life and the lives around me. and i know if i love people, i should let them know. and if i want them to know something, i should let them know. Coz you never know when you're leaving. God has more for me in plan. He asked me a question few weeks back then, and i answered Him YES. I believe He will fulfil His plans and promises. He never fails.
I love Him and His people and everyone around me and i will learn how to cherish each and everyone of them. I see everything differently now. So weird. Different perspective. Life is just LIKE THAT and i don't wanna waste mine. I want to be proud to meet God and not hide my face behind a bush when i see Him=)

3 things i want to share...and more to come=)
TOday...my twin sent me a message with a sentence that gave me affirmation:
GOD IS WITH YOU TODAY
It was simple sentence that really made me smile!!! hehehehe=) my God is with me today ler!!!=) i happy lar!!!=)
then one of my devotion today also one sentence:
"And I will give you rest." Matt 11:28
I've been really tired and nowadays my atnight before sleep prayer would start with "God ar, I'm really tired ler..." today He affirm me AGAIn that He will give me rest! i know He will coz He said so!!!=)
And hor...one thing i learned. I learn to write letters to God, love letters, requests, prayers, etc. Back to the olden days. Take out a pen and a piece of paper and write to God. Then clip the paper at my bedside to remind me about my prayers and God. I find it real good! coz sometimes i find it hard to pray (yes i do have times like that i admit), then i'll just write coz i know He'll still listen, well maybe read lar!=) and He has answered all my letter prayers very fast in fact!=) hehehe=) so i encourage you beautiful people to try to write letters to God! try! you never know!=) hehehe=)

Beautiful One
He opened my eyes to His wonders anew,
and captured my heart with His love,
Nothing on earth is as beautiful as Him.
Neither men nor creation can compare to our God;
Our God is mighty and great
Our God is beautiful and majestic
Our God is marvellous and wonderful!
I love Him!
I adore Him!
My soul must sing!!

Footprints
Our Father will never leave us.
Throughout our lives, He is there with us,
through the happy times, the sad times,
the impossible times.
He knows every detail because He is there ALWAYS!
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for
the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you" ~Deut 31:6
