One Thing (Hillsong)Lyrics
One thing I desire
One thing I seek
To gaze upon Your beauty
And Your majesty
God of my salvation
Lifter of my head
Teach me how to live oh Lord
In Your righteousness
So I pray to You
So I pray to You
Lord Your name
Is higher than the heavens
Lord Your name
Is higher than all created things
Higher than hope
Higher than dreams
The name of the Lord
In the day of trouble
You cover me
In the secret place of refuge
Lord I will sing
I will seek Your face
Call upon Your name Jesus
All I want is You
Jesus

Euthanasia?
Today.. I woke up at 11am.. usually 1st thing in the morning I would flip through the newspapers to see if got any major news.. Today what caught my attention was about a lady who predicted her death to be on 11 Feb 2008 @ 6.15pm.. I was thinking "How could a person predict the day & time of her death"? And it dawned upon me.. possible... Euthanasia... The lady had secondary cancer in her lungs.
Before today, the closest I got to read & understand more about Euthanasia was in JC, when there's a GP essay on Euthanasia.. Today's reading brought me back to the topic... As I read through how the lady lived her life for the last few days, how she arranged her funeral to be (yes), and how her family members coped with her.. It felt so real.. that life is really so vulnerable.. The thing that made me ponder was her mindset.. the reason that she chose euthanasia over living her last few months was that she did not want people saying, 'How sad, that beautiful hair all gone.'.. She feared the condition of worsening and losing control of it..
It brought back to me, that God want everybody to live.. God gave life to every single creation.. He created all things on Earth.. Is it right in his eyes to end a life earlier, or on voluntary reason.. even though the decision came from the victim himself/herself... I really couldn't figure out.. Will I have to come to such a decision in future? And if so, will I choose the same route as this lady here.. I really don't know...
PS: If u want to read more about it, it's in "The Sunday Times, 7 Sept, Pg 29"...

Keep the Faith going
Today's service was powerful.. The pastor who spoke today is in-charge of the Philippino group.. (I forgot his name.. ) His sharing today was.. amazing.. He spoke of many things abt God that illustrates how God is so real and how powerful & wonderful he is... Some eg:
1) Give yourself fully to God, and he'll help to manage your life
+ I hope to achieve this in time to come.. Though it might take some time, more commitment & settling of priorities, I believe that God is everything that we live for.. I really need to strengthen my faith in him in order to obey & submit to him completely.. this is something which I'm currently still struggling & trying hard to follow..
2) If God is for you, who can be against you?
+ I need more time to think this through...
3) Live a life that truly matters to God
+ To live a life that is holy & worthy of his praise when the judgement day comes.. My current life is not perfect.. and it's full of flaws... Definitely need to pray & seek more revelation in this aspect...
God bless.
U are so real..

God, we need your help
Today I took MC from work, cos I woke up with a huge headache & feeling v.dizzy... When I stood up, my brain is like.. v.tight & my eye vision kind of blurred.. need a few sec to clear the blurness & see straight.. Maybe cos not enough sleep or it's an indicator or something... so I went to see a doctor @ 9am, and doctor said I've slight fever & prescribed some medicine "Paracetamol" for fever and "Dimenhydrinate" for giddyness... But when I reached home, I didn't take the medicine & fell back onto bed & slp... till now... maybe I'll take it soon..
While I was waiting at the clinic for my turn to see the doctor, I received a SMS from my sis (MM).. it was a msg that made my heart stop beating for a few sec.. It was a SMS abt our bro, whose bro-in-law is now in a coma due to a clot in the brain.. All I could think of was how's the condition of his bro-in-law, how's my bro coping with it, is everything alright etc etc.. so many questions flood my mind.. but it wouldn't be nice if I keep asking abt the situation for he must be traumatised by the sudden news and he also needs time for himself to pray & settle his mind..
Now is the time to really pray & seek God for his help.. prayer & fasting (like what MM said), we should do more of P & F, use the time wisely to pray to God, to talk to Him so that He'll reveal His power and protect the bro-in-law.. and also that everyone close to Him will be able to take the news.. I know God is there, and He has heard our prayers.. No prayers will be left unanswered.. So let's continue to pray for the bro-in-law & not giving up any hope..
God, pls pls protect the bro-in-law & wake him up from the coma..
God bless.
Amen.
