Last day of 2007 ...

First off ...



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIA SHIN!!!



Hope you enjoyed the sleepover and you like the presents! Enjoy yourself today! God bless!



It is officially the last day of the wonderful year of 2007 ... Any thoughts? feelings?



Tonight will be going for the Watchnight Service at LET. So cool! I never countdown in church before ... which apparently Yiling says is something she does every year haha. Really looking forward to it! *bounce bounce*



Weeellll ... usually today is a time of reflection over the past year. All the ups and downs. The problems and the blessings. And how the Lord has never left my side and helped me through! And of course ... the resolutions for the upcoming new year 2008. Things in your life that you want to change and you CAN change lol.



From my pastor's message ... "As far as your life is concerned, God has made you responsible for its welfare and fruitfulness. In His Word, He has already promised to bless you. So to a LARGE degree, you will have to decide how you want to fare this coming year."



"If you keep doing what you have been doing for years, you will always get what you have been getting all along."



"If you desire for a mroe meaningful and fulfilled new year, some changes in your life must be made."

Always remember: "CHARACTER, COMPETENCE & CONSISTENCY"


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (in advance teehee)

Christmas ...

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late!

Yuppers! thats the chipmunk song from the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks haha! I love it even though listen long already it gets irritating i admit LOL.

Christmas ... Christmas ... today at the speedlight Christmasie, Pastor Pacer asked the question "What does Christmas mean to you?" and then there was a short video asking ppl this question on Orchard road. But if you stop to think ... what does Christmas mean to you?

Of course the main reason is Jesus Christ, to celebrate his birth and the gift of salvation!

But if you think about your current life and the world as it is now ... What does Christmas really mean to you? Is it the gifts? the gatherings? the food? the decorations? the events? family? friends? shopping?

All these play a part of Christmas in our lives ... But they should not be what Christmas actually means ...

The meaning of Christmas is giving
A heart that is loving, forgiving
The meaning of Christmas is living in gladness
The meaning of Christmas is You

The joy of the season is making
A heart of deep sorrow, rejoicing
The meaning of Christmas is knowing God's goodness
The meaning of Christmas is You

Christmas tree and santa claus and jingle bells
They are only incidental things
God has given me His very best as you can tell
And what about the joy His precious love can bring

The meaning of Christmas is loving
A heart without hating or striving
The meaning of Christmas
Dispelling the darkness
The meaning of Christmas is You!!

My Sweet Jesus ...

You redeemed my life from the pit
Brought me from darkness into light
I have never been alone
And You will be with me always

I have found meaning in my life
A new purpose that leads to You
Your unfailing love surrounds me
Now I will sing to You always

Chorus:
My Lord and my Saviour
My Friend and my King
The Awesome and Holy One
My Sweet Jesus

Bridge:
His Words never fails
He is faithful and true
Look to His coming
And run to His open arms

My first attempt. Always wanted to try writing one ... And since the Lord put it in my spirit to try writing one, why not write about Him! He is my song after all :)
Anywayz ... Not fantastic I know haha! Any suggestions for improvement and constructive criticism will be humbly accepted!
But I really enjoyed it because the Lord kept suggesting phrases here and there while I was writing it. Felt really close to Him! So I'll keep writing!
Hopefully next time someone can help me put a tune in so I can sing it haha!
