    no words

    no amount of right words could explain how i feel right now.. 
    falling back to that time where all my feelings were squeezed into one bottle.. 
    i feel like exploding.. 

    like a balloon that has been filled with air..
    one last blow of air, and it will explode.. 
    im on the verge of it.. 

    who can save me but God.. 
    head knowledge of God's truth cant save me as well.. 
    i need to apply it.. 
    how?... 

    faith?


    i'm tired of running this race.. 
    i'm tired to walking this path..
    i'm tired of doing everything that i'm doing.. 

    be it in school, church or at home.. 

    last 6 academic weeks of school before i graduate... 
    can i last that long... 

    last 5 weeks before this year end.. 
    can i have a chance to start anew with God?

    worldly desires have once again overwhelm me.. 
    the desire to being with someone.. 
    the desire of not staying single.. 

    how long can i last.. 'not very long' God says.. 
    but He doesnt stop there, He continue 'But you can last long if  you trust and depend on me'

    hmm.. trust and depend.. 
    what does it mean to trust and depend.. 

    trust.. 
    when i look up trust, the definition that was given to me was; 

    have confidence or faith in;
    believe: be confident about something;
    faith: complete confidence in a person or plan etc;

    to have confidence in a person.. 
    do i have my confidence in God?
    what does it mean to have confidence in God... 
    in every situation, who do we look to first.. 
    God? or the situation itself.. 
    when we look at the situation, we magnify the situation instead of God..
    when we look at God, we magnify God instead of the situation.. 

    what is it to depend on God

    count: have faith or confidence in;

    i guess ultimately God is trying to enforce and remind me again and again to have faith in Him to be confident in Him.. 


    it is in times like these that i realize i have made God too small..

    Be Magnified

    Verse 1
    I have made You too small in my eyes
    Oh Lord, forgive me
    And I have believed in a lie
    That You were unable to help me.

    But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong
    Heal my heart and show Yourself strong
    And in my eyes and with my song
    Oh Lord, be magnified

    Chorus:
    Be magnified, Oh Lord
    You are highly exalted
    And there is nothing You can't do
    Oh Lord, my eyes are on You
    Be magnified,
    Oh Lord, be magnified

    Verse 2
    I have leaned on the wisdom of men
    Oh Lord, forgive me
    And I have responded to them
    Instead of Your light and Your mercy

    But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong
    Heal my heart and show yourself strong
    And in my eyes and with my song
    Oh Lord be magnified



    A song that i have always loved.. because it always speaks so much.. 



    You Alone

    You are the peace that guards my heart
    My help in time of need
    You are the hope that leads me on
    And brings me to my knees.

    For there I found You waiting
    And there I found release
    So with all of my heart I worship
    And unto You I sing

    For You alone deserves all glory
    For You alone deserves all praise
    Father, we worship and adore You
    Father, we long to seek Your face.

    For You alone deserves all glory
    For You alone deserves all praise
    Father we love You
    And we worship You this day.
