"last paper already.. glorify God ya!"

and it smacked me in my face so i chiong all the way when to my horror, i realized if i didn't read my notes, my memory wouldn't be refreshed and i would have forgotten many stuff. whew!!!

Lifesong by Casting Crowns

Empty Hands held high
Such Small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you
Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name
to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

LORD, I give my life
A Living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Chorus

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Let my lifesong sing to You

nat, shawn, youzhao and i made some promises to each other. though it may sound stupid for some, gotta say that it's really awesome! i ain't gonna post what they promised! but here is mine!

"if it's God's will and i become a youth pastor, i'll buy you all drinks!!!"

HAHAHAHA!!!!! i guess i can't make promises like splitting up money if i win 4D[like what nat said] because i may just hide all the dough and not share. NO KIDDING. HAHAHAHA I PRAY GOD GIVE ME A HEART TO SHARE.

anyway, i had a VERY good and productive time studying!!!! really awesome because i was doing chem. i must really say this. you'll enjoy studying if you enjoy the subject. don't enjoy the subject, too bad la! just pray then!!!! hahaha!!!! i enjoyed spending time with junze, kidd, shawn, youzhao, grace, karyn and gracia. eh BTW i went for baptism today and sangeetha was baptized!!!! i was so excited for her, as though i myself was getting baptized!! but sangeetha sure is a warrior in Christ!!! oh i went for Bible study too!!! ps daniel talked about knowing your Bible and i gotta say that i DO-NOT know my Bible very well. :P

it is true. the times when you're lonely are really the times you can spend time with God. when God is most real, probably most approachable. sometimes my mind and heart drives me mad. but God's still very good. now i know God is in control, i have nothing to worry about tmr's exam. and i have nothing to be proud of. rmb yining!!! you ain't any big shot and you don't need to score straight A's or be the holiest person for God to love you!!!! now, that's a huge reminder i gotta remind myself!!!

Phil 3:14

someone sent me this sms:

"Yining can do all things through Christ who strengthens him."

amen!!!!! thank God for people who care by encouraging!!!! thank God!!!

table tennis!!!!!

so i guess this is what process is about:
"Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:4

and and and!

"..give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name."
