God of Second Chances

Palm Sunday song:

Ku mahu cinta Yesus selamanya
Ku mahu cinta Yesus selamanya
Meskipun badai silih berganti dalam hidupku
Ku tetap cinta Yesus selamanya

Ya Abba Bapa, ini aku anak-Mu,
Layakkanlah seluruh hidupku,
Ya Abba Bapa, ini aku anak-Mu,
Pakailah sesuai dengan rencana-Mu.

Dear WL,

Thank you for sharing the song's background with us.
Despite the spookiness imagining hearing someone sing in the mortuary, it spoke volumes.
If someone like that can have a second chance at heaven's gates,
how much more us who believe?
You were right, the song is now different.
Knowing that it came from a resurrected man, knowing that it came from heaven...
It's no longer just a sweet song of love,
but one of rejoicing for being alive again and a plea to be used by Him.
A re-dedication song of our lives.
A song of second chances.


This is Your child
Qualify me
This is Your child
Use as You intend to

Keeping It Short and Simple.

Blessings and thankfuls in the past week;

Dinner and lesson with Jen on Tuesday
Pair of earrings from Pieldeplata on Wednesday

Pasta with Nana on Friday
And an amicable weekend to end it all.


Now if only I can stay off the emotional roller coaster, this would be a good week ahead.
Looking forward to BBW in Penang on Friday!

Hero/Sidekick

Every hero has a sidekick.
Either a competent one or not.
Often time hero is disappointed in sidekick.
Or find faults with sidekick.
But sidekick has unending faith or believe in hero.
Sometimes they even help save the day.

Committed...

I bought both EPL and Committed written by Elizabeth Gilbert even though I've read EPL before.
I loved the rambling way she writes and thought that it would be a keeper.

Now I've reached a snag in reading Committed.
Somewhere in chapter 3, early Christian historical view of marriage (which was quite a few pages) is summarized this way.

Marriage = wife = sex = sin = impurity.

Therefore: Don't marry.

And in that same flow of thought; early Christians who rejected celibacy was seen as immorally practicing sex before marriage.

The way she backs her statements up with out of context usage of sentences from Corinthians and Luke about celibacy.....leaves me speechless O.o.

I know it's only an author's view, and I do not have any idea of how Christian history looks like based on outside studies.
Yet it saddens me enough to stop reading. For now anyway.

Joy ride

Thank You, Lord

for the ride.

Feeling the wind.

Catching a glimpse of Your stars.

Laughing over every speed bump.

On a day that's been such a disappointment.

And much heartache.

You have brought a little joy in the end.

Just as You have made me temporary put it aside,

help me to surrender it into Your hands.
Amen.
