Choir concert was finally over...this month, i think literally flew past...really...it's like even before I blink my eyes and the month just passed...SYF is approaching in 2 weeks time and I know for sure that practices are going to be more hectic in this coming two weeks. CCA aside, I still have to study! I mean, who do not have to study? It's a matter of proirity...I mean ultimately, I would want to do well in my 'A's and no one is going to stop me from doing that. I know that this is hard work...I know it takes a lot... But I'm going to do it...I know I can.
During this 2 weeks, I'm going to manage my time well. I'm going to finish my tutorials even if I have practises everyday. I'm not going to fall behind in my tutorials. I'm going to do that. I trust in myself and of course, I know that God will provide me with the strength to do that.

That Settles It- Rhonda Rhea

I figured it was probably time to go on the current season's healthy eating kick. How did I know it was time? I called them "little sugar cravings," but when I caught myself shooting out of the car and landing almost instantly at the pantry door, I figured I'd probably already let the sugar-fest go on for too long. I was like a treat-seeking missile, with a chocolate target. When it gets that severe, not even the chocolate chips are safe.

It's also a clue that it's time to make some diet changes when I choose a Sunday School class by rating their doughnuts. "She's a good teacher, but she only serves glazed. Maggie's class always brings those chocolate-covered, custard-filled long johns." It's hard to compete with a good long john.

I guess the real clincher is when I catch myself digging through the toes of the kids' Christmas stockings for any leftover chocolate snowmen. That's especially a dead give-away if we've already moved into Spring.

Every now and then, I have to examine my sugar passion to make sure I'm not so out of balance that I outgrow all my clothes. I sort of examine my own evidence and testify against myself. If I've tackled a couple of my kids for the last Ho Ho, for instance, that about settles it.

I'm so glad Jesus settled the really big issues. We never have to wonder about His love for us. It's eternally more intense than any choco-need I'll ever experience. He proved his immense, unconditional, unshakable love when He died on the cross to make it possible for us to have a right and tight relationship with him. But if you examine the evidence (nevermind the Ho Ho's), you'll find that He went all-out to prove His power to save. The same power that saves us from sin raised Him from the dead. Now that settles it!

How glorious that we can serve a risen, LIVING Savior! Romans 8:11 says, "It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!" (The Message)

Because Jesus is alive, we've been made spiritually alive too. Christ settled it all in one earth-rocking event. I loved being reminded again when we celebrated Resurrection Sunday, even if I didn't get to eat any of the chocolate bunnies.

There Is None Like You

There is none like you
No one else can touch
My heart like you do
I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none like you

Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes from your hand
Suffering children are placed in your arms
There is none like you




Heart Of Worship

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something's that of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart


I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You Jesus


King of endless worth
No one could express how much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath




So You Would Come
Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious to His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
So you would come

Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come

Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come

Wow! Time really flies...It's now into the fourth month of 2005...Very soon the big 'A's will be coming...I've finally gotten back all my BT 1 results...I think I did relatively alright though there is still plenty of room of improvements... So grateful to the Lord for the strength and blessings that He has given me.
Had the first ever official Maths S-paper training today...it's really amazing you know... I don't really understand what is being discussed...the approach and all that stuff.. guess I have to put in more effort...everyone present seems to have an idea of what's going on...except me...oh well,...
Today is also the annual Life Concert organised by the SFC...well, all thanks to Shu Ai, I managed to get a good seat despite going in rather late...the concert was kind of different...it's like there's so many things happening all at once...usually in church, it's only worship and the messages...but here, there's sharing of testimonies...(erm, I guess that's why it's called a concert). Anyway, it's really inspiring to hear about how God had entered and made an impact on some people's lives. It kind of reinforces my idea of what my good Lord is like and strengthen my faith in Him. (and I hope that this is what the other people feels like as well).
The next one month is definitely going to be hectic...with the choir concert only 1 week away and SYF 2 weeks, I am absolutely sure that practice will be much more intensive than it is now...I pray for strength to pull through this...Somebody once said:" What doesn't kills you make you stronger." I want to be this stronger person. I know I can.

[By the way, I just found out that SMSS choir is going for SYF tomorrow, 8th April 2005. All the best and I'll be praying for all of you].
