Stained Glass Masquerade - Casting Crowns


Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

This song speaks volumes.

My head hurts. Right from the head to the toe. Is it just me or is it supposed to hurt? I think I'm not feeling well. With a million & one things to do.

Think I'm gonna bury myself in work.

I'd much rather stay outside 24/7. 'Cause there's nothing to look forword to going back.

3 nights ago, I felt a slight panic. I had 2 essays due 4 days later, 1 30% & the other 40%. Yet somehow, in the stillness on Wednesday night, I just felt like the assignments were not as important as what I thought. I had to do them, eventually. But somehow, I just needed that time to talk to God, a long long talk. & indeed, peace He giveth.

Thursday & Friday was over before I knew it, & I had barely started on any of my essays. Did about 1/4 of an essay? Haha. Thank God for the ITA test, I only didn't manage to do 1 task! & it's so awesome that the deadline for the video project has been pushed back (:

I should have been feeling stressed. But I wasn't. Slight bouts of panic here and there but that was all I felt. Perhaps I'm finally learning what it means to surrender, what it means to place Him above all, & what it means to trust Him in anything & everything.

Camped at the JE library from 4pm to 9pm both yesterday & today. Despite the short time frame to do my essays and research, somehow He provided. He gave me the peace, the concentration, the energy to even complete both essays in 5 hours each. :D How awesome can my God be! :D

I was actually contemplating if I should go for RML. I really wanted to go for it, since it was for charity. But. Even charity doesn't come above God. Sunday is His day. & I will keep the Sabbath holy, for Him, for me to stop working, for me to rest, & just marvel in the blessings and mercies He has given unto me despite me not deserving them.

Read this off Germ's blog a couple of months back. It has served to remind me to be wise in spending my time.

Deuteronomy 5:15

Exodus 20:11
Exodus 31:17
Hebrews 4:9
Isaiah 40:28

"In the next 24 hours, we will feast, sing, pray, sleep, worship, and sit at the table talking about God — just because we can." I want to do this EVERY SUNDAY. Not just on Sunday mornings but, the whole Sunday. Because He set aside that day for me to realign my priority, my focus. & that day to just be with Him. <3

I spent an amazing morning in church today, just worshipping Him. With not just my lips, but with my heart. It was as though there was just me and Him, surrounded with the music & the lyrics. I felt so joyful to just be in His presence once again. & His peace stayed with me, throughout the whole of today. Even when I pushed back the timing to go to the library, just so I could spend a little more time at home with my mum in the afternoon. I felt no panic or uncertainty. (:
 
If today was your last day on earth, would you spend it doing what you did today?
 
For today, I'm pretty sure I would. <3 'Cause although I didn't do any important things today, I had His peace, love, joy, comfort, assurance & hope residing in me.
 
Like A River Glorious (A song I sang in church today)
Chorus:
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest.
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

Thank You God, turn my heart so that it will constantly be stayed upon Jehovah. <3

Time can always be rearranged.

Take time to be still.
Take time to be in His presence.
Take time to talk to Him.
Take time to marvel at His wonderful creations.
Take time to listen to what He has to say.
Take time to seek shelter in Him.
Take time to rest in Him.
Take time to read His Word.
Take time to worship Him.
Take time to just be with Him, in thoughts, in mind, in spirit.

& out of the 24 hours He has given me, it is only fair that I spend some time with Him. To just be soaked in His holy presence. <3

I just love the wee hours of the night. Yes, I should be sleeping, I should be resting physically. Yet, it's so often that it is at this timing that I come to a realization. That I need to rest my soul spiritually. That I need to come to Him. I need to reflect. & although I should be working on my SF & DPIP essays, they suddenly don't seem so important anymore. Not as important as Him. Not as important anymore, because I know He holds my essays in His hands. Glorifying Him through my studies isn't just bout doing well. It's about centering Him in my life & trusting in Him that He will see me through step by step. I can't see my future, much as I try to plan where I want to go & what I want to do. But He sees it. & He knows it. <3

It was an eventful week last week. An entire week of feeling down left me drained & tired. At times, I really wish I could disappear & come back to find that everything's alright, but that never happens. Still, thank God for seeing me through, decisions, emotions, thoughts. Nothing's really getting better, but at least. I will live through it on His Grace.

Wanted to post more but. A sudden desire not to.

Jesus Take The Wheel - Carrie Underwood
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
she was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

Oh I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh take it take it from me
Oh

At some point or another, this song just feels so personal. Like, I'm the girl in the story.

2 Cor 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

& I surrender, I will learn to submit it all into Your hands, for You hold my tomorrows, & because of that, I live. Because of that, I know I'm safe no matter what happens. I will learn to be secured in You.



Blown away by the video, I'm once again reminded of why I'm even here. <3
