rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Today's Fathers' Day!
Hereby wishing all fathers a..
Happy Fathers' Day!!
I want to thank God for my father! Even though at times I get frustrated or irritated by him, he is nevertheless a good father to me. I'm sorry, Lord, for the times when I disliked my father and see him with a plank in my eye. Teach me dear Lord, to love him as who he is, and just like how Jesus loved me as who I am, not by merits. Thank You Lord, that I am not in this family by chance or by accident. And I'm glad to know that it is You, Lord who chosed me and placed me in my family, to be a blessing to them.
This morning's sermon by Pastor Edmund was impactful. God reminded me again that man looks at the outward appearance but He.. looks at the heart. How comforting to know that! Most of the time, we are surrounded by expectations from everywhere, be it expectations from parents, teachers, friends, relatives, church leaders, or even from ourselves. Ever trying so hard to meet those expectations.. and forgotten to be the kind of person that God really wants us to be.
Pastor Edmund took the passage from the whole of 1 Chronicles 28 and 29:1. It talks abt how God had appointed David's son, Solomon, to build the Lord's house and courts. And how father David had submitted everything to God, and passed on the building plans and everything else to his son, Solomon. And David's prayer for his son is that he would be obedient to every command of the Lord.. how wonderful.. :) Ps Edmund also talked abt us fathering over the ppl that God have entrusted to us. Father David also encouraged his son saying: "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished." - 1 Chronicles 28:20
Late afternoon, maine, velle and the rest of the guys planned and discussed abt how are we gg to celebrate our dear Pastor Joyann's birthday.. so the guys went to buy a princess tiara and maine & velle bought chocs. We met at Novena square's Fish & Co.
