Presence of the Lord

God answers prayers through ways that we never imagined. This song came to mind one mroning while I was at work.

Be still

Be still, for the presence of the Lord
The Holy One is here,
Come bow before Him now with reverence and fear,
In Him, no sin is found, we stand on Holy ground,
Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
The holy One is here.

Be still, for the glory of the Lord, is shinning all around,
He burns with holy fire, with splendour He is crowned,
How awesome is the sight, our radiant King of light,
Be still, for the glory of the Lord, is shinning all around.

Be still, for the power of the Lord, is moving in this place,
He comes to cleanse and heal, to minister His grace,
No work to hard for Him, in faith receive from Him,
Be still, for the power of the Lord, is moving in this place.

David J Evans

Being Still

It has been a roller coaster of emotions for the past few weeks. Some unpleasant things happened at home and my plans to transfer over to the UK this summer came to a sudden halt. Everyone at home was bogged down by the incident. I was stuck in between. Though I wanted so much to discussed with my parents and decide once and for all if I should transfer, I coudn't bring myself to do it. I couldn't bear to see the looks of " fan-ness" in my mother's face. All i did was keeping quiet and listening more. I was frustrated within but I was not in control of the situation. There was basically nothing that I can do except sit and wait. I didn't want to go through what I went through last year. Those frustrating, helpless months were mind-boggling and I did not want the same things to happen again.

Perhaps, this was the moments that I should pray more and learn to trust Him. I remember being angry and slashed out on Him. I questioned Him why had He planned this for me. There was so much obstacles in front that all I wanted to do was to bulldoze over. But in reality, I knew I couldn't do that. I regrettted, of course, for not trusting Him. Finally, I learnt to be humble and came to Him for forgiveness..What was I thinking?!! How could I slash it out on my Heavenly Father, the One who loved me so much and sent His Son to die for my sins?

Psalm 46:10- Be still and know that I am GOD

Funny Questions

I must admit that I was never a big fan of blogs. In fact, during the earlier days when everyone around me started blogging, I wondered why are they doing that. I mean, why allow your fingers to dance on the keyboards and pour out everything personal about yourself and allow others to read it? I understand such feelings very well because I keep a diary myself and I make sure that I "hide" my diary properly lest it falls into the hands of anyone who come into my room. So, right now, you must be wondering why am I not walking my talk?

Frankly, I do not know it myself. Probably was because I have been visiting others' blogs and suddenly realised that this may be an easier channel to write things out. (Since I am always connected to the Internet nowadays- thanks to my internship and my kind company for granting me internet connections!) Another reason is the realisation that a blog, if not misused, can serve as a channel of connection between myself and others whom I have not been meeting up. Or perhaps, this is an outsource of my feelings and thoughts. Haha..anyway, since this is my first entry, I shall not bore everyone to death with my justifications to blogging.
