Psalm 23

i remember learning this verse in last years freshwinds.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, ^[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

I really love that last line. ' i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever '. Anyway, this will probably be one of my last posts before i head off to the 3months of revision and exams! So i'm sorry readers but nothing from me till after that. But i'll promise you a long blog today.

Its been alright so far!! Ling, Jeremy and Alex left today. :( Going to miss all of them. Ling and Jeremy have set great examples of leaders in Acts and i've learnt so much from them, even though im not SUPERDUPER close, but yeah. Their going to do great stuff in Singapore, and hopefully when i'm there i can meet up with them sometime :) And Alex!! i've only known him well like for 1 month? Hes really good to talk to, and a great encourager! I'll see him in July when i go for Hillsongs! :D

Through the couple of days, i've learnt a lot during my quiet time and from the TDJakes CDs i listen in the car on the way to school with my mom. That feeling of recieving the Word in the morning i tell you is so re-freshing and it really prepares you for your day ahead :) I love how the Bible relates to us in every single way and how ALL the solutions are in a book, with a great garuntee that you'll be able to get out of any situations or approach a situation the right way! I've also sang random worship songs in the early hours and felt the presence of God fall upon me, when i laugh histerically cus we all know we serve a funny God. full of JOY. And there are those times where i simply break down and cry because i feel so grateful that He gave all for me. We hear it all the time ' the Son of God died for you ' but when you really dwell on that, you open up to see theres more than just that. The meaning and purpose behind it. just wow.

I've been quite tired lately, waking up around 2 to study and do my homework because i find it easier that way. So yep, i've got to practise for my Chinese Orals which are tomorrow and yes i'm scared to the ends of the earth, but i'm going to have fun with it :) - makes it a whole lot easier yo!

Well, i would like to dedicate this post to.... MICHELLE!

Suprised? Haha, i wanna thank you for everything man! like through all that i've done you've always been there supporting me with powerful verses, and all :) When things just go wrong and i have doubtful thinking man i come to you first other than God, cus i know you'll always have a verse or just something encouraging to say, and it does make my day way way way better. I miss those days last year when we were much much much free, where we would talk endlessly on MSN (SAD I KNOW), but we'd shared great things together, and the inspiring things i find in her are just so incrediable HAHA it sounds like my perfect mate (EWW..) but yeah, one awesome person here guys! The lyrics that i read in your 'song book' were so touching and so powerful again. :) Those prayer times, where we'd just randomly say ' OKAY LETS PRAY! ' and right there and then, we would pray, would it be on MSN or over the phone.

You made my believe in prayers more and more, the persistance you had with me. I could've not thank you more. I hope your getting well! and Goodluck with the million and one things your doing! :) i know your superduperspongebobpatrickbob busyyy, so yep.
