breaking forth into songs (:

tomorrow's the start of the exams. as crazy as it sounds, i kinda look forward to it coz that's when time goes by real quick. and before i know it, i would be basking in the freedom of the holidays (: and i would be able to do the things i love again.

studying for my first uni exams is no doubt daunting and filled with fear, coz i dont know what to expect, no one knows what to expect, no one knows whats gonna happen. time and again, i despaired. i feared. i kept thinking that i wont make it. but God, has been so good and faithful. He never failed to bring me encouragement, never failed to assure me. i'm strengthened by His Word and presence everyday. thank God for good friends who encourage and for loving siblings who bring me bread and donuts too (:



a refuge to run to
a comfort to hold on to

i lift my eyes to the hill
where does my help come from?
my help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

from whom shall i fear?
from whom shall i fear?

yes i will - break forth into songs of joy when the going gets tough
i surrender all, everything at Your feet

for better days

well well well

it's the first day into revisions and already, i feel sian.
i've never felt this unprepared for exams before. i'm scared.
i keep thinking i won't do well.
what a way to start.
it's another 10 more days to my first paper. and in these 10 days, i have to cram for 4 subjects. and i have to go back to sch on certain days. bleh.
even the A levels had a longer study break....

and it's not that i've been procrastinating, but i've just got so many assignments to do.
and i'm not alone. everyone else who's in uni are struggling with this too.
there's just too little time!
okay, i rephrase - maybe too little time devoted to the books coz of everything else that we gotta do. that includes the assignments.

and it takes so much discipline to sit down, revise and come up with relevant notes.
but through this, i know God's teaching me, moulding me, helping me to firm up my resolve. training my mental capacity. hard as it may be to not give in to desires like watching tv and just doing anything but study, i must resist. and be disciplined.

Oh God, i thank You so much for the privilege to be able to study, to pursue an education in uni. help me to cherish these opportunities and not let them slip out of my hands, for You know that i'm ill-disciplined in that area. God, pls also grant us all wisdom and understanding even as we study, and that You'll guide our thoughts such that we are able to stay focused and not be distracted. Lord i also pray that you will also grant us speed to be able to finish revising on time. please calm our hearts and allay our fears, that we'll continue to look to You for strength and comfort. and Father, help us lay hold of Your promises that You have plans to prosper and not to harm us. for all our inadequacies are made adequate in You. help me have BIG faith. thank You God. in Jesus' name, amen.

rah.



i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

the birthday song

i chanced upon this song! it is so sweet.. mygoodness. i can't post the youtue video for some reason. so here's the link! it almost brought tears to my eyes. if i had chanced upon this song sooner, i's would've sung it to all my dear friends for their birthdays! oh well.. next yr pals! haha

the birthday song by corrinne may.

Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
It's such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
