Quotes from delirious?--i could sing for Your love forever:D

This may surprise ppl, but songwriting is hard work. Hours are spent pouring over notebooks, scraps of paper, napkins, Dictaphone recordings and rhyming dictionaries. Songs get thrown out, re-written, sped up, slowed down and the chorus of one swapped with the verse of another. The songwritier's life is one big sponge for all he sees and hears, and it is out of this sponge that we squeeze our songs and what we have to say. --Martin and Stu.

At some time, we will be completely unaware of the journey a song will tkae-- and that's a good thing, otherwise we would force it into something tarnished by commercialism instead of a genuine offering to God and a genuine piece of art.
Martin Smith--I could sing of Your love forever.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the strong; He chose the lowly things of the world and the despised things- and the things that are not- to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. Simply by saying yes to God and living the life of faith means that someitmes we're out there being fools, walking a tightrope in our attempts to live in the world but not of it. Think about Peter's water walk storm, but if we don get out, will we spend our the rest of our lives wondering wad would, could or should have happened? In our journey, we must not foregt that our constant companion is the greatest King of all.

Stu G -- King of Fools

Each of us is only one small peice of the jigsaw puzzle - and we all nust get beyong ourselves to get in God's big picture. We must rememeber that we all have our sphere of influence -- we're all part of God history's making team. I'm glad this song nv goes away as it reminds us every night what we are here for. I personally have cried many tears in many nations when i have seen ppl faces in the crowd light up when they know God is cheering them on. the grt cloud of witnesses is wtaching and waiting for today is the day. Let's get bnusy changing the world

Wahahas, myfren ask me to try this and well, find itquite interesting though!!:D

You Are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

You are kind, popular, and generous.
You tend to be successful at anything you try.
A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd.

You are most compatible with strawberry ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

You Are Cereal

Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day.
(In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.)
Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food.
Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.

What Kind of Breakfast Are You?

You are White Chocolate

You are White Chocolate
You are sweet, caring, and truly very innocent.
Whether your naive ways are a bit of act or not, people like to take care of you.
You are a quiet flirt, and your power is often underestimated!

What Kind of Chocolate Are You?

Hahas as u realise most of them r abt food?bt well tink all these kinda things r not tat accurate too, but interesting though!!:D

Seizing the moment, not missing the opportunities:D

Yest, Dr Joyce Meyer tok abt how we shld seize the moment everyday and not let opportunities that can change our lives pass us by. At times, we may tink to ourselves, wow, wad a relief at that point of time i take a bold step to make tat decision or else things will never come to this point of stage. Indeed, there are many opportunities in life that come and go, and to some ppl, they relate all this as concidence; if they are meant to grab my attention it will someho, if it is not destined to grab my attention, then i shld just ignore it. However, i should not miss an opportunity just becase it is inconvenient for me, rather, i must discern more for opportunities to come.

I oso learn that i shld be a 'NOW' person; taking hold of each day, making it fruitful and exciting. In Ex3:13-14, God says that I Am Who I am, and similarly, if i know who I am in Christ, if i BELIEVE the promises that holds for me, my life will never be stagnant and i can find myself producing fruits everyday. Just like an apple tree; it know that it is an apple tree and that's y it produces apple fruits!!:D

God says that we shld live by faith and not by sight, and in Heb11:1, it says that Now faith is the substance of things hope for...., so faith is not faith unless it is now. Hence am i going to enjoy today?am i going to make the out of today?Don waste today just by worrying abt tml or regretting tml. make the most out of today.

Eph 5:15-17, it toks abt how we shld redeem time and understand what the will of the Lord is. God's will is that whatever thing i do, i do it passionately and that i will use the resources i have to be a blessing to other ppl.

Just like how the guy in the pool of Besethda who waited 38 yrs for healing; every yr only one person who was sick in the body can get into the pool and be healed, and because the guy was lame and could not walk, he waited in near the pool and everytime he wanted to get in, some other ppl will go before him. And this shows us how seizing the moment is so impt, if he could use his body to move even an inch each day, by the end of 38 yrs, he would have reached the edge of the pool and be healed without waiting for Jesus to come and healed him. How blind Bartemaues sream for Jesus when he saw Him coming; how he grab hold of each and every opportunity to grab hold of His attention despite ppl asking him to shut up.

This two stories have taught me that how we shld make full use of every day; how i should do the things i am passionate about which will bear fruits and be a blessing to other ppl, how i should seize the moment and not regretting it in future when i begin to look back.

On another note, today was travelling with my brother on the train and he mentioned to me that one of his medical group teacher begin to ask them why they ever want to study medicine and become doctor. And he told me that two ppl replied that it is God's calling for them. My brother may be feeling that these two person are just tinking too noble of themselves. However i was telling his that these two ppl are so blessed to discover their calling in life at this point of time. I told him that it is not easy to discover what purpose u hav in life and that even for myself i haven really discover my calling that God has for me. True enuf, they will all eventually grad and become wonderful doctors, but to this two ppl, more than just beoming a doctor, they have find assurance from God that the path they walked is in the right direction and no matter what happen, they noe that they will be fruitful and go on to achieve their destiny in life. I may not have find my true calling yet, but i believe that God is withholding it from me so that i can mould my character to prepare myself to achieve His purpose for me.

niwae bot three books this weekend; delirious? i could sing of ur love forever, joyce meyer the penny and max lucado becoming a student of God;s word, gotta read them throughout the weeks and hope i can share smth in here soon!!:D

God of my Forever

God of my forever
CITY HARVEST CHURCH Key: E
Worship

GOD OF MY YOUTH I REMEMBER
YOUR CALL ON MY LIFE TOOK ME O'ER
YOUR LOVE HAS SEEN ME THROUGH ALL MY DAYS
I STAND HERE BY YOUR GRACE

ON THIS ALTAR I'VE WRITTEN MY LIFE
TELL OF THE STORY I HAVE WITH YOU
MY LORD I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW

GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I'M WITH YOU
MY LIFE IS SAVED WITH A PRICE
YOUR SACRIFICE REDEEMED MY SOUL
GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I WILL SING
MY GREATEST HONOR WILL ALWAYS BE
TO SERVE MY LORD AND KING

GOD OF MY LIFE I SURRENDER
MY HEART FINDS ITS REST IN YOUR WORD
PRAISES WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SHOW
HOW MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS GROWN

NOTHING MATTERS WHEN YOU'RE HERE WITH ME
IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY “WELL DONE”
BOWING BEFORE YOUR THRONE

FOREVER AND EVER
JESUS YOU ALONE IN GLORY REIGN
FOREVER AND EVER
WITH YOU I'LL WALK THIS NARROW WAY

The first time i hear this song, iwas so touched by it that i almost wept. Wad a beautiful song it is, though the lyrics are simple without using any bombastic words, but this song truly express how a person long so much for the presence of God and how wonderful He is in our life.

There are two phraes that truly touches my heart when i hear this song; firstly, its the verse 'IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY “WELL DONE” '. During our walk with God, we know that whatever things we done, His will for us is to walk in His ways and obey His commandments, and how wonderful a feeling it is when at the end of the day, after puttin in so much effort and hard work, when God finally praise you by saying "well done son, u have done a grt work in ur life". Truly, pleasing and glorifying God is the aim of my life, but at times, it is so difficult to do things to its best, but able to hear a 'well done' from God will motivate me to use my talents and gift to do His work even though the future may seem bleak and do not know what it holds.

The 2nd verse that touches me is "GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I WILL SING". Even though this verse may seem so simple where we always say God is our forever, but how many of us really mean it in our heart?Do we really place Him at the top of our priorites in lives and that whatever things we do, we place Him at the top and other things come in 2nd?To me, God plays really a very impt part in my life and it is He who make me who i am today, but at times, i find it hard just to forsake some things that is so impt to me juz to place Him as my priorities. And how do we sing forever that He is God of our forever?When we begin to sing, it is not just pure voices coming out of our mouths, but as we begin to sing, it is out of our inner being, for out of the inward comes the outward and the inward truly reflects who we really are and what our beliefs are. So in our everyday lives as we begin to sing that He is our foever, it is really living the life that God wans us to live; by making full use out of everyday, by living the purpose that He has for us, by doing things that at the end of the day will bring glory to Him. This song has really moivate and convict me to live a life that is really for God, not just passing by each day without purpose, but instead to live a life that bear fruits that as the bible says, whatever things i do, gif due thanks and glory to Him.

You and Me

Hahas, this is the song which my instructor taught me wif de drums!!:D It is a song by lifehouse and though i nv hear it before, but it's really a nice song and got to learn it finish in tat lesson!!:D Hahas, drum learning has been getting more enjoyable cos of the wae de lessons r taught; they incalcuate theory tgt wif practical wif songs, making it easier and more effective to grasp it:D And today learn how to beat 6/8 time signature beats and de different fill-ins using all de toms and i can sae tat i really learn alot frm him just in 2 weeks time:D Next lesson will be playing the song unwell by matchbox 20, which i myself am excited for it orde:D And most amazing thing is tat my sec sch klassmate is learning under de same school same cher but diff timing onli!!:D

On another note, today as i was on my way back home on de train, was jux listening to the song God will Save where it toks abt how even in difficult times and trials, God will always make a wae out of us and suddenly God suddenly just spoke to me one thing which deeply impacted me and change my wae of thinking and perceptions abt frens. He was telling me the importance of having frens in our lives and how at times, i may tend to take frens for granted, like wad the proberbs always sae, don shed crocodile tears onli when the person is gone. So during gd times or normal days, we may tend to be so busy that we forgot to care for frens hu r so dear to our lives and it is only when something happens that den we will noe how to care for them. Just like wad Acts 2:47 says, praising God and finding favour wif all de ppl, and that is if i wan to see ppl transformation in my life, i muz be able to find favour wif them and that is onli when we begin to care for our frens and do the small little things that may seem insignificant, but defiintely v meaningful to them. And i have overlook that part and i know that i have taken some of my frens really for granted but i thank God that i was reminded of this early:D

On a happier note, am so proud of my bro that he got the 10k scholarship award for the 3rd consective yr again, and tat means bulk of his tutition fee in uni every yr is being covered for and sure hope that he will be in de dean list for every yr mans!!:D:D

So that all folks, tkae gd care of urself n see ya ard!!:D:D
