Hey people :)

It has been such a long time ever since I update my blog during this holiday…I have so much things to share with you guys…however, it was kinda long & I’m lazy to type so much ar…so lets just summarise the key points ba… :)

Praise God for this few days holidays…though short yet enjoyable. I had lotsa rest and much picking up of guitar skills, worshipping God. Holy spirit is really the best teacher I ever have… He taught me new strumming methods, teaching me how to read scores for the pop and classical guitar… Hallelujah!! Without Jesus I wouldn’t be able to learn these skills… I’m soooooo looking forward to the next lesson He’ll be teaching me!! :)

Praise God for granting me an opportunity to attend Stream of praise session during the week of sanctification for Chinese services. It was such a tremendous experience. Not only did God taught me what is a true worship and the meaning of worship, how does worshipper worship and stuff, even the meaning of sacrifice of praise, I felt God’s presence strongly and was so ministered by the songs they sang esp. the last day. Really moved. Started to love Chinese worship sooooo much… Like a lot of songs especially one that speaks to me, the meaning is, “in the dessert, the Lord shall bring stream of water into it…” and another song, cant rmb the song title, even if olive tree and vine tree does not prosper and bear much fruits, it still praises God…” Ya, it spoke to me, even if my studies aren’t that good, couldn’t do a lot of tasks, things fail, circumstances doesn’t seems optimistic, disappointment and rejections frm ppl, still gif thks to God…Its hard…But Lord, I’m want to…Teach me how to Lord…hahaha…pie say…direct translation frm Chinese…this prove how lousy my Chinese is…opps…

I like this songs, 我要向高山擧目by SOP, and its actions…so kawaii !!! Feel like going back to my childhood time… (: God, I don’t wana grow up le…hahaha… here are the lyrics and video…

Next, also praise God for granting me an opportunity to attend a “concert performance” by our brothers in FCBC, the Ebenezer band…The songs & lyrics were written by one of Ps Eugene’s son, Ben Seow.

I told myself on that day before I attend the concert, “well, I’m just attending a concert, so just enjoy the songs, the music & the performance they are gonna present to the audience…” However, as I reflect upon it, I was amazed by the work of the Lord. Yes, the music, the songs, the lighting, the lyrics, the singing, was good. But, the Lord’s Love is greater. That day, I brought back with me the assurance and refreshment of God’s love and faithfulness. I told myself, “How could anyone have so much descriptions, so much inspiration in writing songs to the Lord?” And immediately, I got a gentle answer from the Lord, It’s because of God’s love. That caused them to write and sing unto the Lord. Praise God. Their band also shared their testimony… I was very encouraged and praise our great great papa in Heaven for transforming many lives. I remembered recently God lead me to read back the journals I wrote few years ago, Me too, is transformed by God. The same God who transformed many lives could transform your life too!! (: Really thank Him, if God hasn’t pick up this broken ,life of mine, I guess I’m still lost I the dessert, I wouldn’t be who and where I am now… I was very encouraged by them too…That I always told God, “God, I want to shine for you one day!! I want to use the talents that you have blessed me with to honor you and glorify you!! Let your will be done through me Lord…” But, I always think that I’m too young to accomplish much. I always felt that I’m not so equipped to shine for God. However, after that day’s concert, I feel that with God, ALL things are possible. Because it is God who is working. Not me. I’m just a useful tool used by him to fulfill his work. Amen!! In the bible, It was said, do not let people look down on you because you are young… Amen.. Thk God for using Ebenezer to speak to me… Hallelujah!

Bless you a song that left a deep impression on me, the lyrics touched me… I was reminded of God's love for us that nothing we do could exchange for it... went to search for the lyrics and praise God, I found it finally. Sorry ben, borrowed your lyrics without your permission if it was a song wrote specially for another person…opps…Hope you guys are blessed by the wordings… (:

Nothing in Exchange

V1

Where do I begin, where do I even start?

Of everything that keeps us apart

And I ask for nothing, but ill ask just this one thing..

Do you feel the same?

Cos I love you, and theres nothing you can do about that

Nothing you can say, nothing will outweigh

Cos theres no price I would not pay.

And I ask for..

Chorus

Nothing in exchange

You may never have heard of me

I could just be a distant figure

And you can hurt me over and over...

But I will still love and care for you

And I will still wait for you

And I hope that youll love me back, and I hope that you love me back

V2

If only you could realise, if only you could see

My love is all that you need

And this song will not be enough, cos words just are not enough

To explain the depth of my love

My love is strong, stronger than youll ever know

Nothing you can do, nothing you can say, would be able to repay

And I give this love for..Nothing in exchange'

(chrous)

Anywhere you are, I would be there for you

And to the depths of the grave, I went there for you

Come and take my hand, and your search will come to an end

Trust me when I say, that I am the way

When I speak the truth, that I am the truth

And I have given you my life, cos I am the life

No matter what the cost, I would do it again

Cos when everything is lost, my love will remain

Nothing in exchange

You may not even know who I am

I might just be a distant figure

And you might break my heart over and over..

But unconditional love

Came down to die from heaven above

Just for the hope that youll love me back

Just for the hope that youll love me back

Yes, His great Love is nothing in exchange. He loved you to exchange his life for you. He exchanged the pain, the shame, and the rejections for your life. Would you turn your eyes to him? He may be a distant figure, but, if you choose to welcome him into your life, he is closer than you could discover. And yes, his unconditional love transformed lives. He longs for you to love him back…Will you response? (:
