response to a request:

here's some of the sermons i've had on my blog in the past. i haven't had time to upload any more, and I know you want those by Pastor Mark. am still thinking of how i should (re-)organize my blog. they're actually pretty classic sermons by pastor. enjoy!

Pastor Joseph Prince - Becoming Stress Free And Healthy

Pastor Joseph Prince - God_s Delivery System - The Covenant Meal


In His love.

witness.

was an eye-witness to an almost road-kill today. :S

an SUV hit a bicycle. crosswalk. near The Row. lady in mid-air. her laptop all messed up. probably hips and legs broken. sirens. LAFD.

like seriously.


life's so fragile.



pleading the blood.

Dodger stadium.

pics from that evening. : ) i'm blessed.

taking today off to do whatever I want. But being by myself can prove a bit of a challenge. i'm alone but not lonely, right? : ) lotsa time with God. praying that i use it.

anyhow, i've got to get used to this. grr...

Thanks for being a blessing, guys. : )

The sweetheart sitting right in front of me.

take me out to the ball game.

last night was fun @ Dodger Stadium. : ) met up with Brian, Brandon, Amanda finally, and Jeannie picked us up at the Union Station before heading for the ball game. THe outing was a church affair, and i got to speak to pastor Donald--a Singaporean. quite cool. : )

dozed off a couple times during the ball game though--still fighting jetlag :P

thank God I managed to register for 4 of my 5 classes yesterday--one more to register for today. but yea, sometimes even though i know i should not worry, i still do. so i lift this in Your hands, too. : )

blessed.

it's 4.50am in LA right now and I'm wide-awake. : ) orientation starts in a couple hours.

with Jesus, everything lines up. i lift registration to You.

it started out with a blast. Singapore to Narita didn't feel as bad as it used to--slept for more than half a flight. Caught Prince Caspian for the first leg of the flight, but didn't finish the movie. but then thank God! : ) bumped up to business class for the 2nd leg so i could finish the movie. :P (tokyo to LA no video on demand in the main cabin) : ) and it was insane. the business class stewards/stewardesses were so nice--service was fantastic (ya, first time i'm saying that about northwest ;) ). and they kept feeding me. no kidding.

thank God for Jeannie, who made sure i had a ride into town. no one home when we reached at 11am, so we had lunch, and got information at the Union Station--for directions to Dodgers stadium for the ball game on Tuesday. finally managed to enter the place at about 3pm, to a place that's really quite shag. 0_0 but trusting God : ) the landlord came back later that night and i told him a few things i needed. (no study desk!)

dinner and drinks with chin and ning ci. : ) awesome ramen. and semi-atas club in k-town.

hmm, but a lot of funny things go on at night though. many funny things.


orientation in a couple hours!

our God.

Your grace is enough
More than I need
At Your word I will believe
I wait for You
Draw near again
Let Your Spirit make me new

I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of Your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By Your Spirit I am free

Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is the love
Poured out for all
This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King
Rescued the world
This is our God

Hillsong - This Is Our God

I will fall at Your feet, and worship You.

thanks all, for the bday-wishes : ) appreciate it much.

By Your Spirit I am free.

second chance.

You called my name
Reached out Your hand
Restored my life
And I was redeemed
The moment You entered my life

Amazing grace
Christ gave that day
My life was changed
When from my shoulders
Fell the weight of my sin

So it’s with everything I am
I reach out for Your hand
The hope for change
The second chance I’ve gained

On You I throw my life
Casting all my fears aside
How could greater love than this
Ever possibly exist

Consume my thoughts
As I rest in You
I’m now in love
With a Saviour
Bearing the marks of His love

So I’ll wait upon You now
With my hands released to You
Where a little faith’s enough
To see mountains lift and move

And I’ll wait upon You now
Dedicated to Your will
To this love that will remain
A love that never fails

Hillsong United - Second Chance
one of the songs i really really like right now. : )

the second chance.

we all need second chances, don't we?

4 days before i leave. thanks guys, for the k-blade. : ) and for all of your presence last night. i'm grateful.

desert song.

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow.

Hillsong - Desert Song
Heard about this testimony from a friend some time ago, just never had time to check it out. and then, stumbled upon it today, on her youth blog. : ) and what a testimony.

Isa 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the LORD.

Enjoy. : )

with everything.

Open our eyes
To see the things that make Your heart cry
To be the church that You would desire
Your light to be seen

Break down our pride
And all the walls we’ve built up inside
Our earthly crowns and all our desires
We lay at Your feet

Let hope rise
And darkness tremble
In Your holy light
That every eye will see
Jesus our God
Great and mighty to be praised

God of all days
Glorious in all of Your ways
Oh the majesty the wonder and grace
In the light of Your Name
With everything
With everything
We will shout for Your glory
With everything
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise

Our hearts they cry
Be glorified
Be lifted high above all names
For You our King
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise

I've been looking for this last part of the hillsong dvd on youtube for some time now. i've posted the entire last part on my profile in facebook so go check it out there for an uninterrupted version. else it has to suffice here (since youtube only allows 10min vids).

it's an amazing amazing song from their latest album. about 8 minutes of the song "With Everything" and the next video shows a 10 minute wrap up of the event and a subsequent lingering of the Holy Spirit over the congregation, an expectant crowd waiting for an encore that never came--yet just being bathed in the Holy Spirit for a good few minutes. wow. enjoy this video like I have. : )
Hillsong - With Everything





Hebrews 13
20May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
