embracing the dawn
Saturday, September 06, 2008




This morning was a blast! haha. Not that I had a spiritual high or anything, but really really learnt alot, definately been blessed just by being there. It dawned upon me what Jesus being the 'author and perfecter of our faith' really means (to me at least). It means that he created, and is still writing my faith, and i'm on this journey of being perfected. It was the wrong side of the day 9pm to 5am praying, but it didn't seem like a gazillion years, even though i was really struggling to keep awake nearing the end.
It was amazing, and still amazes me to see people really seriously engageed in prayer. When we pray, God works.
I also finally learnt what Godly Sorrow is- not focusing on me being wretched, but looking at God, and seeing how much i've hurt Him, and wanting to change so that I don't hurt Him again. An inward change.
Joel 2:13 "Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."
Return: to go back. Not to a time when i felt uber passionate, not to a time where i had a spiritual breakthrough, but a call to reutrn to God.
How we view God determines how we pray, and of course, how we pray reflects how we view God. How often my prayers have been self-centred " Lord, tell me what to teach them, DG is tmr" See the word in italics.
For our struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual realms. Ephesians 6:12
such a deep warning, that i failed to realise, I was in the midst of it.
and oh yes, Jie Jie, i missed you last night. Cause i know that had you been here in Singapore, you'd be praying too!
Happy birthday Erin Lo! Bad sister I am, Barely spending 10 minutes with you on your day. Glad you had fun:)

This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
