my sunday school class chaired for SSS (Senior Sunday School) this morning! :) i didn't share about anything, but i led in the singing of "When Answers Aren't Enough".. it was a very happy feeling, very warm and heartening.. i'm glad i'm fitting in better at church now.. i wouldn't say i noe alot of pple, but i've found my comfort zone, and i'm slowly trying to widen it.. it's something i promised God i would do, that i would make an effort to fit in more with the youths at church.. slowly but surely, i noe the Lord is helping me in acheiving this..
sang with the youth choir during morning service too.. (yeh it was a happening day for me :P) and ben came to watch me malu myself!! =0) haha.. coz we din haf much time to practice due to the anniversary concert.. but i tried my best.. and i guess it's the heart of wanting to sing for God that is most impt.. :)
i thank the Lord very much for a voice to sing, to be able to serve him in this special way.. as i was preparing my heart for worship this morning, i reflected on how my attitude was for the past few months.. i realised that i never realli put my heart into listening to the sermons, into praying, and into meditating..
- why do we go for worship? why do we go for YPG? what kind of an attitude do we ought to have? do we just go to church coz it's a weekly routine, or do we go to church because we truely want to worship God, and we thirst for His word? are we really walking with God? are we good living testimonies? etc..
these are some of the questions that i asked myself.. i sensed myself drifting away from God over the past few months coz i guess my priorities shifted.. but i'm very glad that i felt a sense of renewal today..
When Answers Aren't Enough
You have faced the mountains of desperation you have climbed, you have fought, you have won. But this valley that lies coldy before you casts a shadow you cannot overcome.
And just when you thought you had it all together, you knew ev'ry verse to get you through. But this time all the sorrow broke more than just your heart, and reciting all those verses just won't do.
When answers aren't enough, there is Jesus, He is more than just an answer to your prayer. And your heart will find a safe and peaceful refuge, When answers aren't enought, He is there.
Instead of asking why did it happen, think of where it can lead you from here. And as your pain is slowly easin' you can find a greater reason to live your life triumphant the tears.
When answers aren't enough, there is Jesus, He is more than just an answer to your prayer. And your heart will find a safe and peaceful refuge, When answers aren't enough, He is there.
As i pondered upon the words of this song, i realised it describes very aptly how many of us feel.. how when we thot things are going well, something bad happens.. when the pain is so much that it breaks more than just our hearts.. when we wouldn't stop questioning why such things are happening to us, instead of seeing them from a Godly perspective.. even as we go through difficult times, even when verses are not sufficient, take great comfort that we have Jesus.. we have to learn to trust the Lord completely, and wait upon him.. this is something i'm still learning.. He's the only one who can understand all our pain and sorrow, all our wails and worries.. most of all, He is always there.. this song made me think of you girl.. it pains me to noe that you're going thru such a rough patch.. i pray that the Lord would keep you safe babe.. i love you :) and you noe i'm always just a phone call away..
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths". ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

Fly Away
When will you be home, she asks as we watch the planes take off We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled As a child, she was my world And now to let me go, I know she bleeds and yet she says to me
You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky I'll be prayin every step along the way Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and SIlver-painted hair Daddy called one evening saying, We need you. Please come back When I saw her laying in her bed Fragile as a child Pale just like an angel taking flight I held her as I cried
You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky I'll be prayin every step along the way Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away ohh... I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away
