Journey

It's a long, long journey
TIll I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long, long joureny
and I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fal and black my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong
I know I will falter I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long, long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it seems no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through?

'Cause it's a long, long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
It's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to you..........

I can't deny what i believe.... i can't be what i'm not

Today was a day of thinking. Woah Eric thinking........ actyally WOAH Eric's put up a new post........ well, anyhow, this weekend, i'm doing my testimony at youth group, and i've never done it before so i'm still quite stuck on what to say. It's an open invitation for people to come, so those who are reading this, i'm hoping you can come =) My place, 7:30, and there'll be food/drinks all provided. Among those will be party pies, ice cream, sausage rolls, lollies, sushi etc =)

It will be a night to remember =) But i guess what i've been thinking about today is the whole question that revolves around everyone's mind. Why do we live here on this earth? I mean, if we're just part of a bigger rat race, then are we not much different from that guinea pig/rat that's just running on that big ferris wheel over and over again?

Life has its ups and downs and i think that it's quite normal to have ups and downs and i never really question or get too frustrated in the fact that we 'do' have downs because there's no such thing as being always high or on an uphill slope. One of the objectives of Saturday night is to be able to colorfully illustrate to people who might not know God or not know much about Him, a slight glimpse i guess. Without the christian jargon of predestination, sanctification, justification, redemption, sacrifice, condemnation, repentance etc, in simple plain english of how God has affected my life, the intricit details >.<

If you'd like to pop along, i have my house open to anyone who's interested.... just leave a comment or call me heheh I guess this ties in with the topic of this post........ it's from a boyzone song that i'm actually doing (acapella) witha few guys, for a wedding that's coming up during September. That should be scary yet quite exciting. We watched a video at church yesterday which was quite interesting. It told us about how scientists gathered and they were all doctors of some sort, and they came to a conclusion, after all these years with darwinism, and biomedical choice or whatever whatever, that intelligent design, of cells was the explanation that can't be explained by other science..... and whether that imposes religion or not is our choice, but it's steering towards that =p For me, i've always thought of it that way. Sure, the body functions by this and this happening, and reactions occur by this and this, chemical structure allows this and this to happen etc, but do we ever stop and thing HOW it does all that? Surely, after my semester of stochastics/probabilty, i'd find it impossible for this kind of thing to happen just by chance. A creator exists and he's designed all this, and it's all good :)

I wonder why my posts somehow turn kinda religious all the time. Anyhow, next week, there's something happening at ECC at night, and i'll be hopefully helping with the music. Should be fun. This Sunday that just passed, i was actually a little worried with myself. I found myself playing the piano without much direction and passion for God. I was kinda just doing it for the sake of doing it, and that's not good. Sigh, neeeeeed toooo focusssss =p Gotta lift myself up and start focusing more. I find it a relief to actually go and read the bible. I think it's because God never prejudges and accepts me for who i am, and even if i've done something wrong or i've been distant from him, he's not gonna reject me if i goto him with confession and thanksgiving =)

It's like God's a save point in a game and you save it, then u go off and u stuff up, u can go back to the save point...... but loading that save point just means u have to admit that you went the wrong way and you need the save point so that you can go in the right direction (guidance) =p

Maybe i'm blabbing too much..... but anyhow... it's all good.

If there's anything that i could have right now.... i'd want jelly.......
