break

we depend so much on the www.

even though this incident did not completely knock it out, it affected badly enough that things cannot get done.

what would the world be like without the www, without the mobile phone, or even without electricity?

i don't know, but thankfully, we can still talk to God.

hope

God, who created the entire universe, came to a little rock to be born and live like a man. He knows what life is like here, and He understands all we go through.

this is no story. it is history. it is fact. it is hope to a hopeless world. not only to those who don't know Him, who don't know Him yet, or who simply do not wish to know Him.

it won't make things perfect overnight. but in time, a perfect life is a certainty with Him.

the child in me

this is sweet. thank you so much for this!

i like Lego very much when i was a little child. a lot has changed since then,
and when they launched this series not too long ago, i would go to the toy department just to admire them, because they look a lot like the 3D animation stuff i did.

having one of these posing beside my computer is simply wonderful. it's so versatile, it can stand on a round-shaped object (which, by the way, is another really fantastic Christmas gift. thanks, brother!).

though somewhat limited but like any Lego, it can be put together in different ways and when combined with its other siblings, other imaginative creatures will emerge.

time to start a bionicle collection?

i see, i see

the little ones love to play in the sanctuary.

here's what they (might) see. no wonder they enjoy themselves so much. a view of the church where we grown-ups do not usually see.

The Pianistsfor some reason, it feels nice to be in church at night...

God of miracles

God of miracles
come and be with us
do Your work in us
We will trust in You to deliver us
Kind and noble King, kneeling in the dust
So magnificent, so predictable, so mysterious
God of miracles...

Your voice is powerful
Nothing is difficult
You can do what we cannot
Your grace is beautiful
Stronger when we are small
You are God
God of miracles...

how am i ?


number 13 has never been unfortunate for me. i don't believe in luck; i believe everything that happen has been allowed by God.

my composure is always under control. staying calm in as many situations as possible.

it has never been so difficult. my much needed break is still eluding me.

i never find the question "How are you?" so difficult to answer. to answer honestly, that is.

i am very much looking forward to the day when i can say "Fine, thank you."

what's on the other side?

why must it happen again?

i wonder what's at the end. will it continue this way? will there be anyone on the other side?

but pain is good. pain is a friend. if pain can be felt, you know you are alive.

get organised

first it's in 3 months' time. we waited.

then suddenly it starts with 5. then 7. then 9.

and now it's 13.

make up your mind...

weary

I’ve been looking until my eyes are tired
Listening until my ears are numb
Praying until my knees are sore from being on the floor

I know that You know that my heart is aching
Running out of tears and my will is breaking
I don’t think that I can carry the burden anymore

All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
Are slowly slipping through my folded hands

I’ve been walking through this world like I’m barely living
Buried in the doubt of this hole I’ve been digging
But You’re pulling me out and I’m breathing in the open air

This room is dark but I will be seeing
There’s a new ray of hope and I am believing
That the past is the past and the future will look brighter

Because all my hopes and dreams and my best laid plans
All are safe and secure when I place them in Your hands


So I’m gonna lay it down
I’m gonna learn to trust You now
What else can I do
Everything I am depends on You
And if the sun doesn't come back up
I know Your love will be enough
I’m gonna let it be, I’m gonna let it go
I’m gonna lay it down
