I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine
[Chorus]
I can only imagine [x2]
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
Lord, may my heart be ever so tender towards Your word.. may my soul be ever thirsty for Your presence.. may my life be moulded in Your hands so that i may be more and more like You each day..
i don't want to just imagine but,... i want to live a life that puts a smile on Your face.. (:
agape,
Carys.
woo!~
school had been awesome so far. :DD
class Q806 you people rawk! ^^
we met for breakfast today though not everyone turned up =\ had a good time knowing one another better. during break, manage to get the class to go Mensa have lunch together (well, not at same level though, cuz there weren't enough seats upstairs.) after school, some of us went BB tea-ing at A1 bubble tea shop! ^^ then went back to TP to find the Engit peeps for dinner. (:
tiring as it was a looooooong day and didn't sleep much the night before. hahas. i'm glad for i know God is still with me and has never let go of my hand. (:
21st April 2008 , Mon.
first day of school was fantabulous! ((: was so scared that i couldn't click with my classmates as i wasn't there for the orientation the week before because i was down with throat infection. and guess what?! God blessed me with so so so much more than what i expect to receive. i got to know the whole class and most of them were quite on one when you ask them to chill together or something. hees! ^^ lessons were fun despite the bore, all thanks to ZHU WEI GUANG GUANG GUANG GUANG! haha! :DD
Had harvesters' meet after that. i was really afraid as it was my very first time playing guitar in front of the whole Unit and ministering to them. Despite my linited skills, God added upon me with the annointing of His presences and assurance. God answered my prayer eversince i strummed the first strum on my guitar, i was super duper tired after a long day at school yet God strengthened me physically and spiritually instantaneously! ^^ i could feel God's presences so tangibly during worship that i could help but tear. i believe that this is a breakthrough in this area of me ministering to people, thank You Lord! thankiew Xueting for believeing in me! :D
God is good all the time, no matter the circumstances. :DD

well, that's all folks! :D
well, though in the end we didn't caught any fish, i really had fun with her! it's great to learn and experience new things yea? i believe that God wants us to continually learn new tings too! :D
after that, i rushed down to Compassvale secondary school to Pikachu United in their soccer match with V______. LOL. padon me for my STM.=\ hahas! yay! and they were on par 3-3 nil. because if you've sa them play previously, you would realise that they've improved much! ^^ though i only reached there at the last 10 minutes of the game, i could feel the tension as a supporter as well. tough match but i believe every one of them enjoyed the match, be it watching or participating. ((:
in the morning went to meet Jason for breakfast. afterwhich, we went to return the VCDs, collected pay at Prime supermarket and headed to TP to watch The Night At the Museum on his lappy. :D met Ser meng and Wanqi at mushroom then walked all the way to Tampines West CC for badminton. i think i'm not really a sports person, i played badminton as if i'm dancing! LOL! well, anyhow it was great knowing that i had shaken off a lil' fats!! woohoo!~ :DD
after the once-in-a-blue-moon exercise i had, went to TM and CS to shop for degree-less specs with Newell. oh btw, we walked from West Mac to interchange! whee!~ more exercise means shaking off more fats! ^^ happy! i tried on all kind of specs and really had a good laugh at ourselves. :P oops, i didn't take any pictures! >.<
yea, so went to lunch-cum-dinner with Trif and Newell and we bumped into Jeslin and Sirui! hahas, miss them so much! ^^ that was my second time eating at Mos burger! woohoo!~ really enjoyed jus catching up with this dear friend and beloved sheep of mine (: love ya Trif! <3>.< (though my love language is not gift..) hehe!
forgo-ing the rights to be understood/ justified..
was rather upset about something but thank God for using Ben Tan to speak to me. :D indeed, it was a sweet reminder: that You'll never let go of me. i still honour my promise and responses i've made to You in ARETE camp. i'm willing to be trained, use me! (:
yay! pictures time! :DD
Newell and me ^^ *twist*
us again! :P
met Yingying and Joey on the way back to TM.
really miss them too!~ loves<3
-sweet reminder. :DD
the uber cool CG had a CG identity which is to wear red tops to service! this idea originated from our dear chrysanthemum (in Chinese) or 'priest'.... PRISSYLER NG GECK HUI!!! :DD hahas.
snapped at the bus stop while waiting for the rest to come.
pris and me. ((:
borrowed Newell's specs.. =x
here we go again! :P
and... AGAIN! hahas, the ahma style! pris never join me! LOL.
me.geckting.xueting ((:
(okay, i look funny.. -.-) lol.
shirls and pris. :D
while on the bumpy, slow and stuffy ride to our promised land..
Newell, shuhfen and joseph..
ps, ahbe, geckting were not taken as they were sitting on the same side as me! LOL!
and Lestari was not with us cuz she had smth on. =x
yay! we reached FAR EAST PLAZA! Subway too expensive so we KFC-ed instead.
look at the photo.. we merely just started eating and vola! Joseph almost finished his burger! HAHAHA! x)
should we ever wear specs again? =x
okay, you can't see this clearly but it's hilarious.
this scooter was filled with dangling Chinese new year decoration near the windshield.
and we were joking about it like how the person would react if the thingy kept slapping her face as the wind blows. LOL. :P
well, tt's all folks! ^^
really got to know more about Hopekids and the vision in this ministry.
i can't wait to get involved in this Hopekids' ministry soon!!! hahas.
indeed, the kids of today.. the leaders of tomorrow!
it's best to invest in the kids and nurture them in their character and grow them in their love for God. For in near future, they'll grow up, under the grace of God, to be powerful men and women of God who truly hunger and thirst for more of God in their lives, a generation who seeks to be used by God to make an impact in this world in their lifetime! :DD
woo, i wanna dream BIG for this ministry and really hope to be used by God to make a difference in this young, vibrant, child-like YET powerful ministry! woohoo~ ^^
all for Jesus! ((:
i guess it's normal. =\ well, then again.. my character flaws. =x
i must overcome this area! amen! :DD
Lord, bring out that joy and confidence in me more evidently! ((:
yay!~
i've perservered for a year and more than that, just to see this sheep's life changed.
Not to say that God has waited for me so long to return to His arms and furthermore has already paid the price on the Cross. So what gives me the right to give up now?
God indeed opened the eyes of my heart to see what His power can do through me in many many ways, which i used to be so blinded by my own limitations and lack of faith.
Corrected by God and changed my perspective of the problem. indeed, i should always focus on God rather than my problems. (: i want to be a better shepherd! sheep, i know you may not see this but, i really really really love you from the bottom of my heart. you're a very very dear friend and someone close to my heart. hope to see you having that breakthru' soon! jiayou!~
Well well, it's really really not easy to lead someone and there's no doubt about that. However, when you see how God uses you to touch and transform that life, the feeling is more-than-satisfying. i may not be the easiest sheep to care for but i really appreciate the shepherds who took care of me, taught me, pray for me and share their lives together with me to inspire me to grow. without you people, i wouldn't have become who i am today! once again, thank YOU!!! :DD
Really want to encourage all shepherds out there! don't ever ever ever ever EVER EVER EVER, (okay, you get my point..) give up on any of your sheeps because every single soul matters to God. shepherds with unstable or unresponsive sheeps? don't fret, you're not alone because i've been there and am still facing this problem. However, there's no heart too hardened that God cannot touch, amen? continue to love them with all that you know how, labour in prayer for them and trust in God! od's hand is gonna moveeeeeeee!~ yay! ((:
i'm really very excited now. Excited to see how God is going to move in both my sheep's and my own life. i must admit that i don't have much, but with the five loaves and two fishes that i have, i'm willing Lord use me! with a restored heart and spirit, i feel like a new spiritual parent once again. learning from scratch how to give my best to my spiritual baby so that the ultimate Creator can use me to nuture her to grow to become more and more like her Creator each day. ^^
:D:D
:D
presenting.. The Most Spastic Caregroup member of the month! *drumrolls*
NEWELL LOO JIAN WEI!!! :D
-taken at Joseph's house before CG on Wed. (:
-taken in CS toilet after the movieeeeeee!~
the whole CG went to watch Step Up 2 together after CG and Sally joined us too! ((:
the movie was great and everyone was so en-visioned to start our own dance group and dance during service! HA! boy was our CG cute >.<>
but seriously, i loveeeeee dance! really wish can learn too! ^^ whee~
boogie-ing off~
i know You allow certain things to happen for a reason.
and i really want to trust You for that because You're in total control and You know best. (:
This physical pain is indeed torturous and agonising, however, i am very very sure that You've never left me or will ever leave me an inch when i was struggling in fear and extreme pain. Hardly anyone can really identity with the recurring sharp pain that triggers every now and then, it's easy to fall in the trap of self-pity and frustration, but God.. help me to depend on You with all that i have, trusting that when You bring me to it, You will bring me through it. :D
Daddy, free me from doubts and temptations on looking at my situation and helplessness. In Jesus' name, may You turn my focus from my lack to Your abundant provision! By faith i want to conquer this battle against the physical pain together with You.
i thank You in advance,
Amen. ((:
what should i do? feeling so confused and mixed up.
i don't want to live anymore, seeing him again would be a torture.
i'm so depressed. sigh, why had things got to turn out his way?? am i not good enough for him?
i'm leaving...
if you jus believed what i've said in the earlier part of this post, I GOTCHA! =P
hahahaha, HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY! :D
[Okay, this part is NOT a joke!]
to anyone out there reading my post feeling that way, pls pls pls hear what i've got to say...
Jesus is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
i went thru' many ups and down times in life, struggled in especially this area of seeking acceptance from people. thought that i wasn't good enough and i had to be like my friends to measure up and be accepted by them. BUT, eversince i received Jesus into my life as a personal Saviour and Friend. things have changed.. for the better or rather, BEST! now i know that i can live life no longer like someone who chase after the wind but someone who can live her life to the max! :D Friends are indeed important and i have a friend who will never leave me nor forsake me, can anyone on earth give you this promise? would any friend give his/her life for you jus because he/she really loves you? my Friend has given that promise and has made it true in my life, He has also given His life for me jus because He really loves me. (:
if you want to find out more about this God i'm talking about, pls tag at my tagboard or mail me at babysummer3@hotmail.com ((: God bless.
