the time of singing has come!

Makin' a list of all of the good things You've done for me
Lord, I've never been one to complain
But right now I'm lost and I can't find my way
My world's come apart and it's breakin' my heart
But it helps to know Your heart is breakin' too

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

Alone in the dark, face in my hands, crying out to You
Lord, there's never been a time in my life
There's so much at stake, there's so much to lose
But I trust it to You
You'll bring me through
And it helps me to know that I'm not alone

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

You're the one who calmed the raging sea
You're the one who made the blind to see
You looked through all of heaven and eternity
And through it all you saw me...

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
And when I've lost someone it takes a piece of You, too
When I fall on my face, You fill me with grace
Nothing breaks your heart, or tears you apart
Like when I cry

No, I am not crying right now.
But it sure reminds me of those days...
It's amazing how fast time passes these days.
One year is almost gone again
And it's time for theolo again.
When I look back on this year,
I wonder what I have achieved.
I still feel like my heart is still where it was.
Sometimes when I look into the mirror,
I feel that I am still the same girl in my secondary school days.
Why have time passed so fast?
I feel like a child in an adult body
Having to bear the burdens of adulthood too soon
Childhood seemed too short
That it doesn't seem fair.
But then again,
Since it happen to everyone,
So I guess it is fair...
Looking back on the year,
I did achieve some, didn't I?
I actually graduated this year.
I actually took the plane alone and went on a graduation trip.
I actually got employed and started working life.
I actually survived a semester of teaching.
Pretty impressive if you ask me.
I still can't believe I am a teacher!

I have to put up this wonderful advice:
Have the flock in mind and you will know what to do.

I realised that it still hurts.
I wonder when the wound will completely heal.

run away....
may I, please?

Inspired to be an oustanding SPED teacher too.

"Make Wonders"

If you ever feel alone
Oh I feel it all the time
If you're talking to the walls
Please bear with me

Because I'm different in a world of my own
Because you've chosen to guide me along

If you ever feel so stressed
Oh I feel it all the time
If you feel the going's tough
Please think of me

Because I'm different in a world of my own
Because you've chosen to guide me along
I am still trying to make sense of my world, of my world
Help me, you can help me make wonders, make wonders.

If you ever feel alone
Oh I feel it all the time
If you're talking to the walls
Please bear with me

Because I'm different in a world of my own
Because you've chosen to guide me along
I am still trying to make sense of my world, of my world
Help me, you can help me make wonders, make wonders.

I did not ask to be this way
Help me make wonders...

The more I sleep, the more tired I seem to be....

Feeling faint today at Shine Night rehearsal even though I slept 8 hours last night!
And I have been hearing comments that I LOOK tired. Do I?
Even if I am not actually tired, I think I am going to be persuaded that I AM tired. :S

Nope, I am actually at one of my busiest moments right now. So I was wrong when I thought that I would be much freer after the exams. It is not the school holidays yet, and I would be busy all the way until the first day of the holiday.

I think I would be busy all the way until next year :/
And next year will be busy all the way until year end.
I think I would most likely be busy until the day I die.
:(
What a lousy thought.
Time to nap.
Tmr's another long day, even though there is no school.

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the LORD and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say.

Last time we spoke,
You said you were hurting,
And I felt your pain in my heart,
I want to tell you,
That I keep on praying,
Love will find you where you are,
I know cause I've already been there,
So please hear these simple truths,

Be strong in the LORD and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say.

From one simple life to another,
I will say,
Come find peace in the Father.

Be strong in the LORD and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know.
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,
These are the words I would say.

I know what is my birthday wish:

That the next time I cry out loud, there is a shoulder for me to lean on, and a pair of arms to hold me.

Everytime I cry, I would think of this.

I wonder when will my wish come true?

:)

God's grace was upon me the entire day.
Thank you to those who made an effort for me. I really really appreciate it.
In fact I feel weak and ashamed that you guys have to go to such an extent for me.

It's actually funny how some people can remember your birthday and some can just not remember. Hah. I'm genuinely surprised at how some people actually remember my birthday when I barely talk to them before/at all! But these are the little things that bring me joy.

Not that I see birthdays as important. It is just another day. But when people make it seems special to you, it shows how much you matter to them. so thank you.

J, I read your fb msg before I went to open my mailbox! thaaaaannnnks, and I miss you so much. You are also very much thought of, and prayed for.
