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

Hi folks,, too long never write here..so decided to write something ya… don’t really like facebook writing cause it is bit too exposed…. so prefer friendster when i can write my thoughts down..
God has been speaking to me about having the courage to move forward. Lately, i experienced quite a few disappointments and discouragement in my life. i was a little upset but yet i know that i cannot dwell in that too much because God has bigger plans for me. Sometimes, it hard to move forward because there are people whom you care about, think about and then it affects you because the time and effort spent.
anyway in my conversation in God, he gave this word ‘Courage’ i begin to seek him more and really wanting to know more about this… i mean..surely i know what courage means right? but i was wrong… God revealed to me what IGNYTE,
Trinity@Adam can become in 2009. I was in awe because it seems hard to pull it off. On top of that there are so many limtiations i see around me and disappointments, i told God..how can i move? so hard, so challenging. so many unknowns….. but isn’t this what you need? COURAGE.
It seems that only when we have courage to walk then we will see breakthroughs. Sometimes, limitations and discouragements slows us down from moving forward but GOd sees it as an opportunity for me to see limitations and obstacles break down! While in my natural mind, my intellect tells me it is gonna pretty hard..really difficult..God says… take courage and move forward..sometimes it is as simple as that..nothing spectular, no signs and wonders, no big time experience, just take the courage and go.
Sometimes it can kind of a lonely journey where no one can understand. But God understand and that’s all it matter. Friends, no matter where you are or how you feel… God is in control, he knows what we need, what we lack and He will fulfuil it in his timing He sees best.
Courage is when you choose to jump off the moutain and allow God’s hand to lift you up. Sometimes it is that moment you just have to jump and trust God for it. Go ahead, ‘drink’ courage and plunge to the breakthrus of God in your life today. =>

Faith and courage.
This sprung up in my mind as I read Pastor Gary's new blog post, which had the word "Courage" in it. It was then that I recalled what Sis Kassey had said to me during Battlecall last year, that these 2 words were to be words that would guide me through the year. And yes, it's been a difficult year.
Until now, I would have said no, it has been an easy year, because everything was rather enjoyable and easy going (due to the fact that I slacked a lot, watched plenty of dramas and didn't put much thought in my walk with God for a considerable period of time.)
Of course those of you who know what's going on would probably agree with me that now things are getting tough, but it's not true that things have been smooth. My walk with God has definitely been very very bad this year.
Okay I think I shan't say more. I also don't want to be a stumbling block to any of my juniors (church?) who might read this.
But at the end of the day, all I can say is that I thank God for being who He is and I trust that He is the one who is capable of leading me through all situations.
I've written a song, actually, but I'm still refining it and being really picky about it.
And I will continue to pray and believe that indeed, in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
