Hello everybody, I've changed my blog address to Hiscallings.blogspot.com, it would be great if those of you who've linked me could change the link :) I decided that link because, God has many voices and He calls out from every where that you go. He is Wisdom, calling out in the open and in the public square, at the top of the wall and at the city gate. He is the small voice, calling out in the wind, caught only by those who are still enough to listen. He is the Word, blatant and printed right before our very eyes, yet revealed only to those who search for it as for silver, as for gold. He is indeed a speaking God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He is calling everywhere, in the hurt and pain, joy and laughter, sorrow and grief, yet it seems so difficult for us sometimes to hear Him.. but, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." - John 10:27. I am simply following after His callings.

As time goes by, people never fail to remind me... How much they fail. And the fact is, people will always fail me and fall short - thats what happened to Adam even in the beginning, he fell. No matter how much trust you put in a person, there's no guarantee that that person will never fail you. Humans aren't perfect and they will fail, disappoint, hurt and be hurt. But the imperfections of human nature only serve as a reminder of the perfections of a loving and merciful God. Where man fail, God prevails. Where man's weaknesses overwhelms, God's strength manifests. Where man's imperfections show as a dirty black stain on a white sheet, God's grace allows a new white sheet, every single time.

To simply stop trusting in others because they might fail you and hurt and disappoint you doesn't make sense - Just as God forgives & accepts us readily every time we fail Him and provides us a clean start each time, we need to forgive and accept others who fail us, allowing them a 2nd chance... And a 3rd. And a 4th. And a 5th. And as many as it takes. God's grace never gives up on a person, neither should I who is called to reflect His likeness - I'm still learning.

You're beautiful, you're beautiful in His eyes

Praying that you have the heart to fight
'Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
But they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His

You're beautiful

be the Lord of my life
of my heart
of my soul
my mind
my hands
my mouth
my eyes
my ears
my feet
this beating heart encased by the
ribcage you formed
this blood flowing through the
veins that you shaped
the falling of my knees
the movement of my being

this life that i live
has no meaning
unless You become my source
my spring
my well
my bread
my water
my heart
my life
my being
living in You and You in me
yet i live in the world
grasping at all the things i have ever known
clinging unto all the things that make me secure
yet it has no meaning
if it did not come from You
for all good things come from Your hand
the heavens cannot contain You

i'm tired of being who i am
because who i am is not who You are
and who You are is simply all i am not

Lord
i will not
i will not sacrifice to the Lord
the Lord my God
i will not sacrifice to the Lord my God
sacrifices
that costs me nothing
for the sacrifices of the Lord
are a broken and contrite heart

be the remedy for my soul
understand me, for i cannot understand myself

no

i will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing

It's a beautiful day in Heaven when a sinner repents - indeed, more joy over one single repentant sinner than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent!

Here we are, buried in death with Christ and risen with Him in triumphant victory - Let us declare it, strong and sure - I am dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus; Hallelujah, to Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever, Amen!

Debra asked me to write about my life so here it is! On Saturday I went out to Spring for a while in the afternoon to buy Darien a book for his birthday, then I went to my grandparents' house and ate their vegetables. Then I went home and got ready for church and I had a lovely time in the presence of God with lovely people. On Sunday, I stayed at home the whole day and I'm not gonna write anything about it unless you want to hear about the number of times I used the bathroom or something.. On Monday I went to school and then I went home and took a nap, ate my lunch and did my homework. Then I went to tuition and came home at 9:30pm and went to bed. On Tuesday I came home from school with a fever so I went straight to sleep and woke up at 6pm. I ate a pear, then I had my dinner and went back to sleep at 8pm and woke up the next day at 8am. So on Wednesday I didn't go to school, I stayed at home and studied Bible Knowledge. And suddenly it was 9:30pm and I officially hadn't taken a bath for 27 hours, wonderful! I went to bed and woke up at 5:35am on a Thursday morning. Went to school, ordered fried chicken rice from the grumpy man in the canteen who hates the guts of every student in the school and sat for my Bible Knowledge paper which was alright. But I forgot a few important stuffs. That's alright though, now I'm back home and sitting here writing about my life, WHICH I'VE JUST REALISED IS VERY SAD. There you go, Debra, all about my life.. I don't think anyone is still reading this post right now. Hahaha. And this is why I don't write about my daily life that much (or at all, actually.)
