Friends Forever - Michael W. Smith

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the lord of them
And a friend will not say never
Cause the welcome will not end
Though its hard to let you go
In the fathers hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus

Ziying sent it to me! <3 very nice song (: But it's a little sad, it's like farewell-ish ): and farewell makes me sad. But I thank God that I won't ever have to say eternal goodbyes to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! <333 them all so much and it'll just depress me to think that I'll have to say goodbye to them forever so thank God so much it's not forever!

I wanna thank all my friends and sisters and brothers in Christ for always being there for me, for always being so ever encouraging and loving towards me, despite all my imperfections and rubbishness and sillyness so very very often! (: Thank God for placing all these pillars of support around me but most of all, thank God that so many of these pillars of support have their support on God! :D

Yay today's a pretty happy day because I got back my bio test results and lsf said I did not bad! :D Got improvement and then I got 37.5/63! which is almost b4 when converted! Thank God so much for seeing me through my tests! :D

Haha post longer next time, I'm sleepy and still have stuff to do (: Byebye!

Here with me - Mercy Me
I long for Your embrace
Every single day
To meet You in this place
And see You face to face

Will You show me?
Reveal Yourself to me
Because of Your mercy
I fall down on my knees

And I can feel Your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love

You're everywhere I go
I am not alone
You call me as Your own
To know You and be known

You are holy
And I fall down on my knees

I can feel Your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love

I surrender to Your grace
I surrender to the One who took my place

I can feel Your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch
Here in this moment I surrender
I can feel Your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love

(: what a beautiful song! Haha i heard this song playing on my playlist and indeed it amazes to see God's beauty and feel His touch and presence and love which He so freely gives which I so undeservingly receives. Thank God for everything He has done, is doing and will do (: It's been great having Him in my life and I wouldn't exchange Him for anything else in this world because He's just too precious to me! (:

Haha well went to the market place with my mum and henrietta today at about 11 am because they told me got nice looking clothes. So I went down and walk walk walk round the entire market until at last I decided on a dark brown codrouy (not sure how to spell it) long pants! I think I was very fussy when I was choosing clothes :/ Anyway, the pants are a little hot but its okay I think because Singapore's like air-conditioned everywhere I go at least! Haha bought it for cny (: Yay I love cny, got excuse to buy nice new clothes and shoes! Haha I need at least another 3/4 skirt, two nice nice tops, a pair of palms (not sure how to spell it) and a pair of flats. Heh I'm getting germ to buy me the palms because she still owes me a pair from my birthday! :D And then I might go with someone to look for nice long lasting flats. My las one spoilt within half a year! ): But then. I wore it almost everywhere so yeah. Haha. Yay cny's coming le which means money rolling in for me! :D Haha and I'll get to meet up with my cousins and nieces and nephews and all (: Yay!

That's all for now folks! <3 Cass! :D

But let this remind you time after time you're a child of the King!

Kop-ed it from Caleb's blog.

You lived next door to me for years
We shared our dreams, our joys, and tears.
A friend to me you were indeed...
A friend who helped me when in need.
My faith in you was strong and sure
We had such trust as should endure.
No spats between us ever rose;
Our friends were like...and so our foes.
What sadness then, my friend, to find
That after all you weren't so kind.
The day my life on earth did end
I found you weren't a faithful friend.
For all those years we spent on earth
You never talked of second birth.
You never spoke of my lost soul
And of the Messiah Who'd make me whole.
I plead today from Hell's cruel fire
And tell you now my last desire.
You cannot do a thing for me...
No words today my bonds will free.
But do not err, my friend, again;
Do all you can for souls of men.
Plead with them now quite earnestly,
Lest they be cast in Hell with me.

It's a really reflective poem. And one full of regret and sadness that that's what our friends will say to us - that we never shared with them the Gospel. And yet, in this last times, are we doing our best to share the Gospel to everyone else around us? I hope we are. I hope I am.

It's been a super busy week. With emotions going up and down. And I don't know why, but maybe the thought of being sec four scares me a lot. We're suddenly the oldest batch of students in school, suddenly O levels are here before you know it, suddenly we've got so many things to handle etc etc. There's no more asking seniors how to do this, how to do that etc. And maybe the stress and pressure's getting to me but still. I've been feeling the extremes these days. Or at least one side of the extreme. Not my favorite side though. I've been thinking alot about graduating, be it from guides or crescent. Though I've complained much, but I guess right deep down in my heart I do know that I'll still miss the times I've had with every single person here in school. I'll miss the noise, the teachers, the friends etc. Too many things to be missed. And there's more. Okay, I'm being super random here when its only the 3rd week of school reopen. /: Haha.

On a lighter note, I got a B3 for last year's O levels june paper mock exam! (: I was expecting a C5 or B4 but aiming for an A1 or A2. It's in the middle though, not too bad. (: And Yvette made a family tree of our family in class today. Haha it's silly lah. And got like 2 or 3 questionable relationships. Haha she siao siao de. Don't listen in geog class, do this kind of thing.

On a depressing-er note, I still cannot find my black charger which is spoilt. This is getting pretty frustrating, I hope my dad didn't throw it away accidentally. Grr. And emo songs are really appealing to me a lot somehow, suddenly.

Oh wells. I'm too brain-dead to do any homework. Think I'll go to bed early, I need the rest. Badly.

The Love Of God - Mercy Me

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

Hallelujah [3x]

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song!

VERY NICE SONG! Hahaha you should ask me to send you the song if you don't have it (: It's really soothing and the lyrics are very meaningful. Indeed, the love of God is greater far than anyone could describe, be it in speech or in words. No words can ever measure up to the greatness of God's love, He loved us so much that he gave up His one and only Son for us - lowly, mortal human beings, dirty and sinful. But because of love, He gave up His Son just to die for us, so that we might have a way back to Him and be able to enjoy the glorious heaven with Him! :D Thank God so much for His wonderful, boundless love! And its so boundless that even the whole universe cannot contain the love He has for all of us! (:

Hahah, addicted to this song already. (: Well I've been doing bits and pieces of homework here and there today and yesterday was a pretty good day I guess because I managed to concentrate even though I was at my grandpa's house and there was quite a few distractions, thank God for His strength and wisdom, I've managed to finish the parts of SS homework which I know how to do. As for those that I don't, well I'll just go to school tomorrow and ask around how to do. Sheesh it was due on friday. D:

Well a good thing happened today! Kaiqi asked me if I wanna go to teenz with her next friday! Praise the Lord! Thank God so much she wants to come back to Him and get right with Him (: Can't wait for next friday!

Haha okay well I'm off to do my SS notes already. I give up on maths, I'll do chinese later. I don't know why but I've been wanting to complete my SS notes /: Weird huh. Maybe I've got too much SS recently.

I don't know if you've realised it, but we've drifted further apart than before. And things we three used to do together, suddenly its just you and her. Even though we've promised to do it together. And I thought we promised to never drift apart. But now its like as though we're strangers, and it used to be the three of us, but then someone seems to have replaced me. Perphas this happens when we're in different classes. I hope not and its all just my imagination, but somehow it seems so real. I don't know how to relate to you anymore. And even as I'm talking to you now, I sense this invisible wall between us, this wall that seems to be unbreakable. I keep banging against it and it's not working, I don't know what to do anymore. But I do know that I miss those good old times of just the three of us together.

Chris Tomlin - Give Us Clean Hands

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyesFrom evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob

Haha there's more to this song, but it's all the same lyrics. (: Heh anyway, this song is really really nice!!! :D And the lyrics are really meaningful too (: Haha Malcolm's a big fan of Chris Tomlin's songs too, well I've been listening to his songs for the past few days. And i think we really need to pray to ask God to let us be a generation who will seek His face, His and His only. And we really need God to cleanse our hands and purify our hearts. So often our hands and hearts are dirtied by the sins we commit, the filth just stays on our hands, in our hearts, and we're unable to get rid of them through our own strength. But I thank God that Jesus' blood can cleanse and wash away all our sins, can make us clean and purified once again! (: It's just great having Him in my life! (:

The Pearls

The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls, was Almost five.
Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them,
a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.
"Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?"
Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box
and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's upturned face.
"A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00.
If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you
and in no time you can save enough money
to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and
you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma."
As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank
and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner,
she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbour
and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents.
On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill
and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up.
She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed.
The only time she took them off was when she went swimming
or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet,
they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed,
he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story.
One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny,
"Do you love me?" "Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess,
the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail.
Remember, daddy? The one you gave me.
She's my very favourite."
"That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night."
And he brushed her cheek with a kiss. About a week later,
after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again,
"Do you love me?" "Daddy, you know I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll.
The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful
and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper.
"That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one.
Daddy loves you." And as always,
he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later when her daddy came in,
Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian-style.
As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling
and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.
"What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?"
Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand
up to her daddy. And when she opened it,
there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver,
she finally said, "Here, daddy, this is for you."
With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy
reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace,
and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out
a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls
and gave them to Jenny.
He had them all the time.
He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff
so he could give her the genuine treasure.
So it is with our Heavenly Father.
He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that
he can give us beautiful treasures.
Isn't God good? Are you holding onto things that God wants you to let go of.
Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships,
habits and activities that you have come so attached
to that it seems impossible to let go?
Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand
but do believe this one thing ....
God will never take away something without
giving you something better in its place.
Have a wonderful day.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Well the lesson behind this story was so simply touching I felt I had to post it (: thanks horn, for the lovely story!

HAPPY BITHDAY QIAOYI DEAR!!! LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

haha and thanks eileen, for the wondrous dedication (: you've been a marvelous part of my life and I thank God you, such a blessing to me! And yes we must go out one fine day and spend the whole day to ourselves (: Haha! I miss talking to you and laughing over stupid silly things which make no absolute sense but that's not the point! :D All the best love and see ya around in school!

Well okay, can't update much on my BUSY life except to say that I'm still chionging homework now. I have chinese one and a half compo and 4 english functional left and maths 30 SUPER HARD questions. I AM SO DEAD FOR HOLIDAY HOMEWORK. and I still have maths and bio test on tues and have to do so many things. All the best, cassandra.
