Living a Holy Life

Thought my life was ok..

BUt as time passes, God began to reveal to me that i'm NOT.
I'm not living a holy life i thought i had.
I'm not the nicest person i thought i was.
I didn't have faith in God that i thought i had!

As God revealed this to me in different circumstances, i am completely humbled.
Stripped down to the barest of bare. Time to reflect right down from basics.
Not just reflect on what i have learnt.but reflect on what should have been done. THings that i already know yet not doing it.

How does my life reflect on my GOd? Will people see me and Glorify God?
That is something that God has been speaking to me about. Simple and basic as it is..but Thank God that he is correcting me and moulding me into christlikeness day by day. Amen!!

Today we had CG meeting at the Village (student accomodation for Uni Adelaide students..). We shared about what God has been speaking or teaching us since the last time we met. it was really different from the last time we met!

All of us are at different stages of our walk with God but
everyone came prepared to share. Just eager and ready to hear from each other and encourage one another!
As i hear and see how God has been speaking to each of us indiviually,i am encouraged and just screaming out in thanks and Praise to God when people were sharing lOL! (COntained excitement.)

some shared about not just loving God but being IN LOVE with God.
Another shared about not just wanting to know God but having an intimate relationship with him.
Some of the gals have just grown so much since the beginning of this year and it just gonna be exciting to see what the Lord is going to do in each life as we yield ourselves to him and make a decision to die to self daily..

Freak out!

Just finished property research paper this morning!!
1 down and 3 to go!!

Monday - Property Management
Tuesday- Advanced Property Valuation
Next next thursday - Property investment

One requires lots of memorising and the other lots of calculations.
people who know me well would know that
i can't do calculations properly AND to make things worse i have a short term memory!!! my goodness how "good" can the exam schedule get?! I'm starting to freak out...

As i wallow in self pity and endless winching (still finding time to blog lOL! tsk!)
I'm constantly reminded of my need to trust in the Lord.
Not just saying it but trusting him with ALL MY HEART.
It may seem quite impossible to get thru all the studying...BUT i know the Lord will see me through this period. I just have to be dilligent with the Time i'm left with.
Ok so......gonna get my butt back to studying.
Pray with me pls!

My heart sings!



Rising!
I feel my heart sing!
Praises! My Lord and King!
The Wonder, The majesty!
Welcome the King of Glory In

Every Tribe and tongue
Every Land will sing your praise
To the end of time we'll sing
Majesty!

All majesty
To the God of creation!
All majesty
God of all generations
This anthem we sing
To the GOd of all nations
All Majesty
We sing!


Sounds very techno rite??
How can praise and worship songs be like that?! i cannot take it man..
I dun agree with the style, its just too Noisy.
*Ting*(Fairy wand sound haha)
THis was what i thought last year.

In 2008! this is the very song that the Lord used to bring out that Joy that made me want to jump and sing in his presence!

During service on sunday, we were singing the usual songs (in edge church we usually learn 2 or 3 new songs and keep singing it for about 1-2 months before changing..)
Then the worship leader said that today we'll sing an old song. i was thinking would it be songs like Trust and obey or something, but it turned out to be Majesty by Planet shakers! Jasmine and i were like..this song is old meh? it came out like last year only..in my mind i was thinking..aiyo this techno song again..i dun think i can bring myself to sing it. anyways i am gonna sing unto the LOrd no matter wat!

as we got to the chorus, i felt my heart leapt and i really wanted to jump! Not because the people were jumping around me but i really WANTED to! but i was scared of what people might think. so i just claped. when the song ended, i "regretted" not jumping. It has not been a normal "practice" to jump dance and sing in my idea of praise and worship, but think about it if you're really happy about something, wouldn't u like jump and say yay!!

In the same way, if you're really happy about praising the Lord, why aren't we expressing ourselves in the same way?

I had another opportunity during evening service and they played Majesty again!!
I was telling God this time i'm gonna jump with all i have! dun care if people are watching me..i'm singing and jumping to my Audience of ONE! It just came naturally, not a "jump because everyone else is doing it". All throughout the night i couldn't help but singing the song over again and bouncing on the way home! and coercing my housmate to jump with me..SHe was like "Sarah you very high today man!"

yup!! because i'm singing to the MOST HIGH GOD!! haha..
