Your Love Never Fails

Because once in a while, we need a reminder of how faithful, how forgiving, how loving, how BIG and how awesome our God is.

Verse 1:

Nothing can separate

Even if I ran away

Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes

But You have new mercies for me everyday

Your love never fails

Chorus:

You stay the same through the ages

Your love never changes

There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

And when the ocean rage

I don't have to be afraid

Because I know that You love me

Your love never fails

Verse 2:

The wind is strong and the water's deep

But I'm not alone in these open seas

Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide

I never thought I'd reach the other side

But Your love never fails

Bridge:

You make all things work together for my good

To be honest,

Everyone is commenting on how Osama is dead, some are even going to the extreme to comment about what he's going to face in hell. There are jokes being made about Obama beating Osama and whatnot.

But I really wonder how Osama's family (the people who love him) is feeling right now. I'm not saying that what Osama did was right, but still. His family has now being victims (they've lost a father, a husband, a child) and yet they'll probably never be recognised as one because we're all fixated on the fact that he did terrible things. That's just the tip of the iceberg. To an extent, don't you think it's sad that while they are mourning a loss of a loved one, the whole world seems to be rejoicing that Osama is dead? And not only rejoicing, people are even making fun of the fact that he's dead. I don't think it's completely unreasonable for them to not want him to be found; because wouldn't you want the same for a loved one who did something wrong? And because the US has Osama's body, they may never get to see him again.

I think it's just sad. Sad because we get so caught up with "eradicating" all evils, that we forget to stop and remember the minorities that will be affected and we forget to show compassion and sensitivity to the people who need it.

I can only imagine that things are just going to go downhill from here...

I still believe that God loved (even) Osama.

I had a 13 day long break (:

I really like this photo even though it's kinda blur. DG Support '11 is so sporting(:

This has to be one of the best mid sem breaks ever. I think it's because it came at a time when everyone was dying after the long and tiring first half of the semester. I feel so well rested and recharged, both physically and spiritually. And though I think I may be the only one who is going to say this, but I'm really excited for the rest of the semester and I really can't wait to go back to uni.

Changes

It's going to be tough to say goodbye; it always is. Nobody loves change, but part of life is learning to let things go.

Love

Going through Easter Camp '11 photos because Li Lin claims that I take too long to upload photos (which is so untrue) and I came across this heartwarming photo. Credits actually go to Chris Teo for capturing this precious moment of love.

More photos and thoughts about Easter Camp coming up, soon.

Joey the weirdo

I think it's funny how my dog is so fascinated by the fire that she just sits there, intrigued.

I think she's conflicted because her animal instincts are probably warning her about the dangers of fire and that she should probably run away, but at the same time, I think she's wondering why we (my family) are not running away from this "supposedly dangerous fire". Haha. She's funny.

My random thought of the day

I'm not feeling well physically; my head is spinning, my ears are hurting, I'm feeling a bit nauseous and my whole body is aching. (I don't think it's anything serious, so I'm not going to think much about it. Or maybe I'm in denial) Sadly, the first thought that came to mind is "I cannot afford to feel so crappy and sick."

Which made me think - how sad that my life is as such, that I'm even attempting to 'schedule' when I can allow myself to fall sick.

I think this is just my mind's way of allowing myself to procrastinate, so that I don't have to focus on my task at hand and just get amused by such trivial stuff. And I just stoned at this page for about 5 mins -.- What a good way to waste time.

Okay, time to power through and finish these darn assignments.

Beauty

For some reason, every time I drove past this structure, I always wanted to take a photo of it. So today, I did. Haha. I don't actually know what it is, but somehow it always caught my attention.

It felt nice, to drive and stop my car every time I see something interesting and just take a photo of it. That's the life(: For that one hour, from uni to home, when nothing else seems to matter and I could just appreciate God's creation and realise how beautiful the world really is if you really take time to just admire it.

I read somewhere that you can learn about the Creator through His creation, and seeing how good and beautiful His creation are, it gives us a glimpse to how great the Creator is.

Open Mind

People can surprise you. You get used to thinking of them one way; stuck in their roles; they are what they are. And then, they do something that shows you there's all this depth and dimension that you never knew existed.

Strangers

"Once born into childlike faith, brimming with belief, typical people begin to lose their faith. Society mocks them. Their friends smirk. They come to change the world, but over time the world changes them. Soon they forget who they were; they forget the faith they once had. Then one day someone tells them the truth, but they don’t want to go back, because they’re comfortable in their new skin. Being a stranger in this world is never easy."
— Ted Dekker (Saint)
