Tata! I'm back after one and a half months...
So where have i disappeared to? Well apart from a week of church camp and holidaying at Gemia, i'm rooted to the sunny shores of Singapore running here and there.
A retreat into Gemia did a great job at lifting my spirits and allowing me to marvel at the wonders of God's creation underwater. I saw Nemos and Dories, and swordfish and Christmas Tree Worms and this and that.... Wow.. it was an awesome sight to see the waters teeming with life. Shall try to post the photos if ever i get hold of them
This whole month has been a fruitful/ trying/ enjoyable/ traumatic experience for me, as God brought me to see the many flaws and blindspots within me that requires much attention! A sister said this which is rather true: If life is so smooth sailing then it's no longer exciting anymore. Hmm.. i kind of agree... Challenges in life are God's way of moulding and refining character.
Here'a song which you have should hear it personally if you ever get the chance to do so. The words speak of the value of the cross of Jesus Christ.
EMBRACE THE CROSS
I am crucified with Christ, therefore I no
longer live / Jesus Christ now lives in me
I am crucified with Christ, therefore I no
longer live / Jesus Christ now lives in me
Embrace the cross where Jesus suffered
Though it will cost you all you claim as
yours
Your sacrifice will seem small
beside the treasures eternity can measure
what Jesus has in store
Embrace the love the cross requires
Cling to the One whose heart knew every pain
Receive from Jesus fountains of
compassion for only he can fashion your
heart to move as His
Oh, wondrous cross, our desire rests in You
Oh Lord Jesus make us bolder to face with
courage the shame and disgrace You bore
upon Your shoulder
Embrace the life that comes from dying
Trace through the steps the Savior walked
for you
An empty tomb concludes
Golgotha’s sorrow, endure then ‘til
tomorrow your cross of suffering
Embrace the cross, Embrace the cross,
The cross of Jesus
