Hello

I'm sorry for ignoring this corner of the interwebs. Life has been busy, and will be busier as the month goes. I'm enjoying it though :) 

These are my songs of the moment:

All My Fountains - Chris Tomlin

Meet with me - One Sonic Society
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeJ3fODDWFE)
Explanation: Well, this is the only video I can find with the song, of which this is part 2 of the song. Umm. Here are the lyrics - http://onesonicsociety.com/one-lyrics#mwm

Lord, I need You - Chris Tomlin
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0bSTs2KnAs)

 

Enjoy!

Band Members | Worship Leader Magazine

The perception of my role went from band guy to worship leader to lead worshiper to finally worship pastor. I started thinking of myself as a pastor who uses music as the primary vehicle in helping others worship and connect with God.

Love Came Down

Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours I am forever Yours
Mountain high or valley low
I sing out remind my soul
That I am Yours I am forever Yours

Catching up

Apologies for the sporadic postings. Life got in the way. 

I appreciate the times where I got to have amazing conversations with Him. Such conversations come from the deepest parts of my heart, and He takes care of that part of me so so well. Sometimes my heart and soul wanders, wanting to settle for second best, for something just because well, it is so much more physical than Him. But He.. nothing is as real as He is. 

Funerals remind you of how alive you are. Even when I hear of lives hanging on a thread, at the brink of death, I am reminded, as being alive is an absolute, being dead is just as absolute. The macro view makes so much of what I do insignificant. Death is not painful, suffering is nothing as compared to the eternal glory of His kingdom. "Where, O death, is your sting?"

One of my workmates had us to draw this tree-person-house art therapy thing, and from my drawing, saw how important or protective I am of my family. Really? Such psychoanalysis stuff works? I suppose it could be, along with a bit more of a self-fulfilling prophecy thing going. Perhaps, we could tell much of our past from who we are right now. But we cannot let who we are right now determine who we will be in the end. With Him, we can change, and be transformed.

 

I'm looking forward to Christmas, and then to 2012. :) It's going to be epic!

Perth.

The skies are definitely still blue.

I'm glad that the weather was amazing when I was there; I got to enjoy a whole range of temperatures (nights of 15deg to days of 37deg). 

Also, I had so much food. Most of my pictures are of food, and then some of people. Hhaha, check out the slideshow below, or the Flickr set if you prefer.

But I reckon the best thing about the trip was the catch up with so many people I love, who loves me just as much (sometimes I suspect even more). Got birthday pressies and surprises (OMG SURPRISE CAKE) and all that, and just so many warm hugs and feeling like you are back with family.

Perth's definitely second home to me.

RELEVANT Magazine - Surrendering to Singleness

Surrendering to Singleness

 

Would I want it differently? In these moments, the faces of all the people I might have married if I was in ‘control’ flash before my eyes. And I cringe a little. And worship a little.

Day out with the Girls

Last Saturday I met up with four groups of girls, from different phases of my life. I really really thank God for the presence of these girls in my life - they enrich my life so so much.

How else to hang out but with a lot of food? Hahah, there were more, but at some points we got too hungry and ate it all before taking a snapshot. #failfoodbloggers

dreamland.

I've been having dreams of this certain island over the past weeks. These scenes were vivid, and I can totally picture them in my mind (in a very FPS perspective hahah). At first I thought that it was a land that I really wanted to go to, where I do not have to fly 5 hours, but drive 5 hours to get to.

But now, it freaks me out (getting the same vivid dreams usually have some deeper underlying meaning after all), and yet I still look forward to going there. Maybe there are some masochistic nature in play here - looking forward to something that freaks me out. But the island is so ridiculous it seems like it only makes perfect sense in my head. 

I'm afraid and I desperately want to run to Someone who can rescue and protect me. And I'm generally tired, and really want to be somewhere I can rest and refresh. 

 

Oh God, I miss you so so much.
