At the foot of the cross
Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me your love
Through the judgement you received
And you've won my heart
Yes you've won my heart
Now I can

Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross
Where I am made complete
You have given me life
Through the death you bore for me
And you've won my heart
Yes you've won my heart
Now I can

Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

- "At The Foot Of The Cross" by Kathryn Scott


This one i remember being sung as an item during main service sometime last year.

The first line had suddenly played in my mind this week. Didn't even have the song on my com at all. Now it's playing on repeat on iTunes :)

Felt so much like a child today. Could be nostalgia from singing "With All I Am", the old school song. Could be that exams are coming, which also means they're ending, which also means poly life is ending.

But i'm not going to give reason to it now. i am simply my Daddy's and His desire is towards me. and there's really nothing that can come between Daddy and me. Christian life is really so simple and easy and uncomplicated. It's just knowing that i'm so so loved by my Daddy.. my God.

all my weaknesses, my flaws, my inabilities, my falling short, my commonness ...
now i'll trade my ashes in for beauty,
and wear forgiveness like a crown.
coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

Romans 8:35-39
35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?
36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,
39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Mommy *sniff sniff* it's over!!!

well, kinda. almost. GOD! i can't believe it.. 2 more exams next week and no more going to NP. gosh.

just submitted Bookpub final project today. i really must say, rushing out 20+ pages of prose and poetry is seriously no joke. super a lot of brain juice required. but.. it was quite fun :)

and writing can be really liberating.

and if ever anyone needs to do printing, Mr Wong is the best!!!
his office is in Ubi, quite ulu, but he's really the best! haha.. he helped me a lot a lot.
(btw, he's the one who prints Solid Rock mag.)

Do ask for his name card! (and yes i blatantly am promoting his services)

i may sound mad but i really love poly life, and will miss NP a lot.
how ironic right? like poly was the cause of much stress and madness in the past 3 years but i still love it. heh.

but my point is.. Daddy has been and is truly faithful.
even when i make mistakes, make wrong decisions, choose to do the wrong thing at the wrong time and end up blaming myself, He really comes through for His beloved.

so so many times i just "make use" of Him, but He doesn't not answer "to teach me a lesson". and He is always with me, by my side, even when i stress myself.

i don't know how else to put it but He's really always here for me. Selah :)

"a time to study"
yup back to MEDLAW and MASINA. Jesus, you are my brain powah

back to simplicity.
things seem more complicated these days.
but are things really as complicated as we make them out to be?
just a fleeting thought.

reality check: 10 or 11 weeks of school left
that means my coming all the way to NP at 8 plus in the morning 3 times a week will not happen again.
that also means internship will start soon :) :) :)
then melbourne.. hmmm...
somewhat can't wait but learning to enjoy the now.


learning. hmm very ironically, i really really need to do this more.


bookpub never fails to leave me thinking about lots of stuff.
heh :)

back to simplicity.
back to pleasant, no, pleasant is too weak a word.
peaceful, quiet.. i can't find a suitable word. tsk.
NICE (typical Singaporean adjective for anything nice) times with just Daddy, baby and me.
soaking up.
feeding.
being reminded of how precious i am, how special i am, how loved i am.
i am not mediocre because my Daddy is not mediocre.
how can i be normal or want to be "like everyone else" when wo ben lai jiu bu shi.
haha :P
"i don't have to try to be good, be good"
it's a state of being.

k back to ley-liohhhhh...
