update

*yawnz*
tired and lazy :D
its 30th Dec 07

Oh 08 is coming!
actually its just another second on the clock.

07 is a fruitful year, cos it is a 365 days period that taught me to know more about myself.
Kind of like a dictionary, one that doesnt speak, yet empowers us with knowledge.

kk, let me talk about the previous entry.

I named it as The Other Revelation, curious as to why it is so?

Simply because its not orginally mine, yet it serve as a revelation, something that reminds me of the Lord's love, His promises, His purpose His will.
Its actually lyrics to a song composed by a fellow choir member.

Think thats the beauty of it, its not by some superstar (yet), its someone that shares the same platform, someone that worships the same Lord, someone thats fed the same manna.
Hear it from the playlist on the left.

Its simple how it comes from the heart, something that is so real to a person, so personal if thats the word to use.
You read and you know what it means, its close, heartfelt and just for a while you thought you had these feelings before.

"For the rest of my days
I will sing of Your praise
I will tell the world that You are the God who saves
Each moment in my life You were there beside
Beneath the shadow of Your wing I will soar I will fly"

Its just something you can relate to.

Certainly the 1st time I hear it, im not very impress. Super long introduction, its like rapping, its not comfortable to hear cos the person's naturally high pitch.

But like most things, it takes time to get use to unless it is very very well packaged.
So listen with lyrics, and perhaps you would also join me in wanting to receive this form of communion with the Lord, to have sat down wrote a song and sing it out in such a manner.
The flow that is of within.

The other revelation

Shing - The God who saves

You are the Lord the one that I turn to in my darkest hour
The rock of my strength, I pour my heart to You my precious Savior
Experience Your love and grace each day it's truly my one desire
So lead me in Your word Your way Your love fill me with Your Spirit and Power
We raise our hand in awesome wonder as we worship You the Risen Lord
Cos I never gonna let You go

For the rest of my days
I will sing of Your praise
I will tell the world that You are the God who saves
Each moment in my life You were there beside
Beneath the shadow of Your wing I will soar I will fly

You make us Your light for all to see Jesus let our life shine for You
I'll take up the cross and walk with thee Savior I will preach to the world Your truth
All nations will come and bow before You and give glory to the King of Kings
This song of love to you I sing

For the rest of my days
I will sing of Your praise
I will tell the world that You are the God who saves
Each moment in my life You were there beside
Beneath the shadow of Your wing I will soar I will fly

I worship You on bended knees for love restored my soul and I will place all of my hope and trust in You for You are the God who saves

You are my God the Lover of my soul
Your mercies endures forever (x 3)

For the rest of my days
I will sing of Your praise
I will tell the world that You are the God who saves
Each moment in my life You were there beside
Beneath the shadow of Your wing I will soar I will fly

You shed Your light in my life You fill me with Your perfect love
Prove to me time after time after time You're a God who saves.

F-A-T



*nua*

really lazy to blog, but tot I really should because...
nothing

:D

anyway,
ya,
was having dinner when it came unto my mind,

It seems as though that people that are horizontally challenged are more prone to having low self-esteem compared to people that are a little bit more balance.
its really interesting actually.

Afterall, its all about the words people say, the influence the media brings,
It all starts really young,
with the youth as young as pri 3, 4 pointing at others who are challenged, laughing at them.

To growing up slowly as they see figures in the media portraying as slim and slender.

Eating too much and being out of control was what that seems to be coupled with them.

They began to draw away, into the inner-self, while being attacked by own inner thoughts.
and so comes the thoughts of anger. thoughts that either drew them away to either become stronger facade, or thoughts that got them to isolate be away from being hurt, from being expose.

Why am I fat? Why am I ugly? Why am I not like the rest?
I am fat, I am useless, nobody cares, I dont need them anyway

and they grow up not knowing that its alright to be challenged, whats important is loving one-self, is being confident and comfortable about one's thought and life.

So came the need to be assured, the need to latch on onto others who gave them attention.
and what the rest is really doing is giving them that moment of attention as everyone would, and left just as a conversation would.

While them, still yet to have figured out and understand thought that they were unwanted again.

Look around you today, do you see any challenged people that needs your attention?
What can we do to help them?
Just as Sy had said, "Yet another sheep for our family"

Do I want to change his/her life today?
What can I do?

Or are you one of them that I am talking about?
Are you comfortable?
Are you loving yourself or putting yourself down today.

We cant give what we dont have.
We cant love others if we first dont know how to love ourselves.

Be Bless
Love,
Amanda

:D

Loving it this way~
