ways of worship

from psalms 138 1-3,8

1. give him praise of thanksgiving, lift up ur hands in praise, lift it up
    to feel his grace

2. sing out loud,  not for us to hear but for the lord to hear and for
    everyone else everywhere

3. kneel in praise, have u ever tried to kneel down as u sing and
    praise? try it, you'll feel God touching ur heart :)

Note: It's not how u praise and worship that matters, but the state of 
                    the heart and mind when doing it,
                               Amen.

praise and worship

jus back from a praise and worship of stream of praise...it was great and superb....
give all ur burden to the lord and he will carry it for you..many times we say we gave him our troubles, but do we really? i mean, we still tend to worry all about it more or less. We have to put it down completely....

There was a boy, he saw these pretty pebbles while going for a stroll with his father. Liking these pebbles very much, he collected them and placed them in his pocket. As they walked, his pockets grew heavier...he grew tired. On seeing this, his father said to him, " Child, give me your pebbles, i'll carry them for u." The boy seem to consider this then he replied, " Father, what about u carry me and i'll carry my pebbles?"

this is the same as what we do today. the lord says " Child, let me carry ur burden for you." but what we do instead? like the boy? this is worth thinking....

Emmanuel

from all the busy life, the sufferings, the trials, the pressure...all in all, i found myself tired, weary, convinced that i am no longer able to continue....where is god? i need him...why won't he come to my aid? broken, worn, i prayed for help, asking god to come to me, not to abandon me..  then it was like a reply, i was checking mail, a fren sent me a page, 'duty' it was called. nothing in mind, i clicked the link....then what i saw moved me. God was answering me. I cried hard. God, i understand, i'll guard the post...nothing will move me, i will be there when u come back for me. I know that u'll be looking after me, and by all the end of it, it'll be wonderful, to be back in ur embrace, saying, "child, you have been through so much, now come back to heaven and stay with me forever more, no more sufferings, no more trials, no more pressure...."

It might seem stupid to some of the ppl, some might laugh and even criticise me for this, but that is what i think, i'm holding on tight to my post, that is my believe, is my hope, my reason of living, and a motivation to live on.

I read a story once, a man was dreaming, he was walking with God by a beach. He looked back, he saw many parts of it, there were two sets of footprints and some parts of it, only one set of footprints could be seen. He relised that it was the hardest times of his life that the one set of footporints exist. He turned to god..."My Lord, didn't u say that u will be with me always? through good times and bad times? Why, when i am in my most difficult times that only i walk alone? Where were u when i needed u most?" God looked at him, silent for a while and replied gently, "my child, that was when i carried u on my back..." The man, stunned, started to sob....

When u think that God has left u, he has not, either he has something to teach u or u are on his back.....Emmanuel...

Life life life

Been doing this blog for quite some time...i realise that i can't do it everytime. Maybe i'm just not too good at expressing myself. I do ask, maybe i should write this? or that? or...what? You see....my brain is stuck again....hmmm...hrm...um......well, sat for a maths test today, it was not too bad i think but don't know if i did well or not. Also got back my bio test paper, my score stinks. plus i'm going to Bintulu tomorrow for some competition, three days two nights, not bad actually but i'll be missing my class and tuition. And i'm sure that there'll be tons of homwork when i get back. quite boring huh, my life, but it's like that, can do nothing about it. oh no...just remembered something that i hadn't done yet....sigh....gotta go...

Dumb....

I have a clear head today which is good cos i couldn't seem to get my brain to work a few days back. Why? well, let me start with a few days ago...It was like erm...Thursday night. I was completing some school work, English in fact. When i was done, i felt happy. I decided to take a rest. I gave a few little sideway skips towards my bed, then a leap to my bed...I guess i used to much energy, wrong estimation i called it, then instead of the soft pillow that i had expected to land on, my head met with the wall. Oh God, it was extremely painful :'( I fell with a thud. sigh, how stupid can i get? now i'm jus going to become more stupid. A bum of course swelled and my head started to spin. My eyes watered. stupid stupid stupid. What if there was internal bleeding then blood clot in my head? i thought to myself. what if there was side effect? but...i guess i was jus over worried cos i seem ok till today. Thank God. I've told my story to my ma and two frens and they say that who can be so stupid and laughed at me...well, who can be so stupid? Me, i guess. At least it doesn't pain now..right?
