Who am i
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Joel Chia's dad, Remus, has passed on to be with the Lord on 25th Feb, leaving behind Joel. Uncle Remus is someone i knew since Primary School. A tall, sturdy uncle with a smile on his face. Im happy to see him everytime, because it means he has brought Joel along to cell, to church to accompany me. Though Im never very close to Uncle Remus, I feel the pain of his departure because he is Joel's dad. Joel is his only son, with no mum to take care of him either, and he is only 20years old. To Joel, my bestest guy friend in the world: When you cry, I will cry with youWhen you feel lonely, I will accompany youWhen you feel troubled, I will pray for youWhen you need help, I will always just be an sms awayWhen you need a listening ear, I will stop talkingWhen you need advice, I will tell God to make me His mouthpieceWhen you are sad, I will cheer you upWhen you want to grieve for your dad, I will let you take as long a time as you wantWe'll all stick through the toughest times togetherLord, I know You will provide and You will comfort and You will give Your peace. Thank You. Amen.

Today's cny eve and also my last day ever in Ngee Ann Polytechnic (before the exams start). School is really so quiet today, Im not used to Poly being so surreal and still. Ive just finished my last presentation for the semester, for the year, for my whole school life in Polytechnic. Such a weird combination of feelings that Im facing. Happy that Im no longer pinned down by project deadlines, sad because I really enjoyed my Poly life and the friends that Ive made here and Im going to graduate soo soOOn!! Freedom and reminisce mingled together... Thank You Lord for an enjoyable Poly life, with beautiful surroundings and scenic landscapes greeting me every morning in school. Thank you for the friends Ive made! Thank You for giving me this time to rest and study at such a slow and comfortable pace.
Casting Crowns - Praise You in this StormI was sure by now That You would have reached down And wiped our tears away stepped in and saved the daybut once again, I say "Amen," and its still raining As the thunder rollsI barely hear you whisper through the rain "I'm with you"And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God that gives And takes away I'll Praise you in this storm And I will lift my handsFor You are who You areNo matter where I amEvery tear I've cried You hold in your handYou never left my side And though my heart is tornI will Praise You in this storm I remember whenI stumbled in the windYou herd my cryYou raised me up againMy strength is almost gone How can i carry on If I can't find youIve been singing this song for the week, I love this song man! Probably because many of my good friends are going through tough times now. Probably because Im remembered of a similar situation when I stood watching the rain and asked Him "where were You"? Sometimes you know God is with you, but you just cant fathom that fact or that fact just doesnt sink into reality. And then I must make the choice to say "I will still praise You in the storm". You know 1 difference between Christians and non-christians? Its not that Christians are more holy, more perfect etc. The difference is that Christians have the Lord to turn to in difficulties, in joy, in loneliness, in death and He answers. I have never met any other god who answers my prayers except Him. Im human. And I still experience anger, jealousy, loneliness, unwanted infatuations etc. But I always tell myself that I have the Lord, and that makes LOTS of difference, cos I can ask Him how to deal with my emotions and to control my emotions for me. And then I'll win because of Him.
