God of Wonders beyond our galaxy

Lord of all Creation

of water, earth and sky

The heavens are Your tabernacle

Glory to the Lord on high

today, we learnt about the indescribable detail, incomprehensible numbers, and unfathomable structure of our universe. and that perhaps, is only called the "known" universe. what about the unknown?

today, we learnt that the earth - the blue planet - is but just one small speck tucked into a tiny miniscule corner of the Milky Way. Our galaxy in turn is but just a tiny subdivision of a subdivision which is part of our vast, vast universe.

but God still cares even if we're that small.

God of Wonders beyond our galaxy

You are holy, holy!

The universe declares Your majesty

You are holy, holy!

Lord of Heaven and Earth

Lord of Heaven and Earth

today, we realise that the heavens are so vast and high that any ruler that could be invented here on earth would never be able to measure just how wide and deep is His love for us.

today, we realised that perhaps when we memorise a memory scripture, it's not pure accident that it comes alive in our minds when someone else reads it. it is the very God who jogs our memory and who can be that real amongst us.

today, we found out that perhaps this universe wasn't just created for us to live in, but to also display and "show off" the grandeur and majesty of our great God.

Early in the morning

I will celebrate in the light

and as I stumble in the darkness

I will call Your name by night

today, I choose to look beyond people, circumstances and problems. because I realise that since You can measure the span of the universe in your palm, all the things that trouble me are so minute already. You hold me in Your hand : )

today, I decide to look beyond the heavens and into a universe beyond my comprehension and even go beyond that and rest my eyes on the Cross. To fix my eyes on Calvary. The universe was created through Him - Jesus Christ.

today, i will choose to believe that all is well. i have Your infinite love and immeasurable grace to depend on.

Indescribable, uncontainable

You placed the stars in the sky

and You know them by name

You are amazing God!

Indescribable, uncontainable

You see the depths of my heart

and You love me the same

You are amazing God!

We were meant to live for so much more

as i stare at my living room right now, i am reminded that this very living room was the same place where we stayed up 5 years ago keeping each other company while we waited for the time to come for me to leave for UK to study. that was 2005.

i remember taking that stupid video of the two of you at the forest reserve after our dip in the waterfall. you guys thought it was just a picture of the two of you mock-kissing, right?

i can never forget random ice cream or pizza feasts at your house.

those days when all we wanted was for people to know God and love them for who they were.

jump shots. our best thing that we always did to the best : )

the countless minutes we spend calculating bills because we always eat in groups of almost 15 to 20 people.

praying in the room in my apartment every Saturday morning at 10am.

bluffing me into eating durian ice cream and I thought it was mango instead >,,<

learning to eat crab properly and failing :p

the stupid obstacle course and awesome paintball.

loving Switchfoot because what they sang about was our generation's lifesong.

blasting music in your kancil and rockin' our socks off to the beat : )

your beef strips that are always to die for p:

using your photo as an icon to replace your name on msn

i want to keep this list going on. forever.

it's what me, me. and you, you.

but well, the door of new possibilities has also opened.

God, help me choose.

Thank You, Lord.

this week has been an interesting week of sorts.

we started report card day week and so far so good, eh kids *wink*

i am reminded throughout this whole week of just how important communication is.

I realise that no matter which stage of life you are in, communication is still as important.

as one student remarked about parents,

"maybe they should study that elective, you know - Essentials of Communications?"

i couldn't help but chuckle.

you know what, kiddo?

i think not just parents, but everyone included. myself too : )

I realised that this week, thanks to someone pointing out to me, that just how much we hide behind our internet world. In the past, before Facebook statuses, MSN statuses and Twitter and blogs existed, human beings had no platform where they could just express their real thoughts and feelings. In the past, we could only choose between saying what we really feel in person, or just keeping quiet about it.

However now, there's a third platform where we deposit our true selves.

But I wonder if having that third platform is really that good or really that bad? Words can be traded there, left there and dumped there. Sometimes we delude ourselves to believe that that platform has no consequences and we can just say what we can there and cheat ourselves.

it can be misunderstood.

it can hurt.

it can create confusion.

it can make things worse.

it can cause reactions.

the biggest challenge is to remain consistent online and offline.

aside from that, meeting up on Thursday with an old friend has been enlightening as always for we sat there for almost 4 hours for our dinner and proceeded to catch up with things in our lives, happenings and observations. I had my thoughts picked and dissected and analysed until my head hurt with the whir of ideas that were deposited.

what did i learn from that session?

to embrace who i am.

to realise that as much as they are individuals, i am one too.

to practice what i preach.

to understand that i have things in me that most definitely freak people out : )

to remember that in everything that happens, there is a reason even if i don't see it now

to remember to bring books the next time :p
