I Boast

What are my kindness, my compassion, my good deeds, my love compared to Your sacrifice?
Never let me boast of my kindness, my compassion, my good deeds or even my love for You, for people.
Let me boast instead of Your sacrifice, Your kindness, Your compassion, Your mercy, Your grace, Your love for me and Your people.
I [...]

Worried No More

” …how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.”
- Makoto Shinkai, 5 centimeters per second

I am was worried that somehow we would drift apart, into our separate ways. The past months were better than awesome because of you, but its no longer May and we’re no longer in Switzerland.
I know my [...]

Arms Open Wide

Take my life I lay it down
At the cross where I am found
All I have I give to You oh God

Take my hands and make them clean
Keep my heart in purity
That I may walk in all You have for me

Oh here I stand
Arms open wide
Oh I am Yours
And You are mine

Take my moments and my [...]

The Blunder

I just realized I made a big blunder… something that may literally co$t me quite a bit.
Punched the door, *argh-ed*, *sigh-ed*, uttered curses, stooped head.
I did what I could to rectify the problem, what happens next is out of my control.
To worry, to whine, to blame, to dwell OR not to?
It’s not the end of [...]

Mikazuki

Listening to Ayaka’s single, Mikazuki, repeatedly as I tell myself this is going to be my last ‘emo’ post for the year. 
I can’t remain in this sorry state knowing the great things You have prepared for me. 
Tonight its not going to be about how much she doesn’t care, but how much You do. 
I’m giving up on [...]

I’ll Wait

At times I wonder why is it always so different for me. When it seems so easy for everyone else, I find it to be an almost impossible task. Then again, maybe I never wanted it to be easy; I wanted it to be different.
It should not be easy. It should be more than a [...]

Changing Seasons

I needed to get away. I needed to be alone.
With a camera in one pocket and the trusty iPod in another, I set out for a long overdue walk with Him.
I took the same path as the one before, only this time it was covered in snow and somehow it felt much shorter.

The Reason

Self-condemnation has reached alarming levels.
The line “I’m not copping out… I’m not copping out” fills the room as Switchfoot’s Twenty-Four plays repeatedly.
At a time when I’m lost for words, Jon Foreman cries out my heartfelt prayers.
I can’t make up what led me to this state, my fears and insecurities are far too many to number with the [...]

3am

I need to write…
but I don’t know how to put my thoughts into words. 
What I really want is to shout, cry, rant, whine in Your presence.
Late nights and deadlines aren’t anything new, neither are disappointments and broken hearts. 
What seems to be a long week felt like eternity… so is searching for the right words to [...]

Simply Blessed

I received my parcel of “Assorted Gifts” (dried instant noodles + adapter) yesterday, and was I thrilled to find the book Simply This~Simply His.
It all began when JZ announced the book launch on his blog. It would have been my greatest pleasure to attend the launch had it not for me being ‘quite far away’ [...]
