Unfailing Love By Chris Tomlin
You have my heart
And I am yours forever
You are my strength
God of grace and power
And everything
You hold in Your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand
Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change, God, You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing love
Unfailing love
You are my rock
The One I hold on to
You are my song
And I sing for You
And everything
You hold in Your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand
Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change, God, You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing love
Unfailing love
And everything (everything)
You hold in Your hand
And still You make time for me
I can't understand (can't understand still)
Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change, God, You remain
The Holy one and my unfailing love
Unfailing love
(I will praise You)
I love this song, awesome lyrics!

My Melbourne Trip -- Part 2
I was meant to finish blogging about my melbourne trip earlier this week but I never got down to it. Busy la and no inspirations. Not that I have inspirations now anyway.LOL!
I visited the Arts Centre Sunday Market after church on Sunday when I was over that weekend. Its awesome to see aussies actually passionate about art and the stalls were set up every sunday for them to showcase their precious possessions. They have like ceramics, aussie timber work, jewellery, photography and heaps more. It is sort of a tourism spot at St Kilda very close to the beach area so it was sort of very nice to admire those art pieces along with the cool breeze of the sea. The weather was simply beautiful except that it was a little chilly. I bought a nice little silver plated bangle with sky blue coloured crystals and stones at the middle. It was a sweet little thing at a really cheap price.
I like melbourne city, not in a way that I think I can live there but rather I guess I would like to visit again for shopping (The brands I love are all there.. aww), food (They have so many Japanese restaurants there which I love and also Krispy Kremes) and for the beaches. Melbourne city is kind of shopping paradise. I love the direct factory outlet (DFO) near Southern Cross Station. That was a HEAVENLY place for me! I got my red sandals from Country Road for half the retail price and my Espirit skirt at a 70% discount. Awesome bargins that make me want to go back for more! Thank God I didnt buy much stuff after that otherwise I would have trouble trying to force them into my tiny luggage bag to return to adelaide.
During my stay in melbourne, I spent alot of time with God as well. Reading and meditating upon his word. My heart was in adelaide with Ecamp but I was in melbourne having my little holiday in my own dreamland. I adore the lady whom I met through Shirley. This lady, Allison, few years older than me but she has a great relationship with God, passionate about adopted childen, has 2 adopted gals under care. I see a great sense of passion in her, an undying spirit to care and to support lost and helpless gals. Its the kind of passion I wan to be instilled in me but I am still searching for it. I guess its a calling from God. The selflessness I see in her is very admirable. She could speak with me about things that are deep in her heart though I was staying with her for 3 days, such discussion sometimes couldnt even be found among close friends but we found it in each other. She is a young woman whom I can look up to as a sister in Christ and a role model in life. Its these people I meet on my trip that makes the whole trip even more worthwhile.
I kinda miss the trip now..Oh well..

Day-Book
I submitted my daybook today. I can say that I am heaps relieved after that. Imagine myself doing my daybook from day to day, Monday till today was something which was unimaginable. It was day after day of shit pain. Yes, you heard me rite, it was unbearable, horrifying pain to the depths of my bones. I know I didnt do a fantastic job in the end but I already did my best already. Its the effort which was put in that really matters to me. I did almost nothing except work and more work, chocolate and more chocolate, complains and more complains the last few days. Sorry to all those who had to put up with my nonsense and heaps of love and hugs to all who accompanied me and gave me help along the way. You guys rock!
Now that my daybook crap is over. I can sort of rest for the night. I feel lost, honestly lost cos there was like suddenly nothing to do. Yeah, but its only for tonight.
Tmr, I can start choosing the song which I am gonna sing during worship audition on sunday at church. I am excited about it yet feeling tensed and nervous about it. Its my first time going for an audition. We had like no audition when we wanted to do worship leading in OCF so like singing in church is expecting heaps more. The last few days, in the midst of doing daybook, my heart was consistently on doing worship ministry in church. Its my passion, singing to God. Initially, I wanted to turn down the opportunity cos of all my other committment but somehow there was a voice within me was persuading me to make the move and call Deb to register for the audition. I wan to serve God with the voice which he has blessed me with. I just wan to do more for Him alone. I guess its something natural which we all want to do for our loved ones especially when we love them so much. Just wan to use what God has bless me with to bless his church. I wan to do it and I will do it.
Audition, this sunday at church 2pm. I am going to cancel all my prior plans for marion trip, beach trip. Sorry guys, I wan to focus my sunday on his ministry. The chance must not slip!
Psalm 96:8-10
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.

My experiences of the past 1 week -- (Part 1)
Before my melbourne trip, I actually went n browse through all my previous blog entries. I was searching for the words and messages which God has placed in my heart. For a while in the beginning of the year, I sort of lost my momentum with God, a scenario common to many but few admit its occurance. It was only during the recent combined meet that I found God again and our relationship has been better than before. It is an encounter with God that turned things around for you and me. Reading through the past blog entries not just showed me the path where God has been leading me on but also how people have invested into my life and viceversa.
My melbourne trip, in short I would say its fruitful and its a God-driven trip. A trip and a journey with God that I longed for with all my heart but yet at the back of my mind, I also wished I could go to Ecamp. So many people approached me to ask if I am going to Ecamp. Each time it occurs, there was an instant pain in my heart but I kept quiet about it. I knew God has his purpose for me in melbourne, I knew that it isnt about the shopping or abt the city. There was something more to that and I was waiting in anticipation to find out more.
There were some people whom I met in melbourne who spoke into my life. Sat night I visited Richmond AOG, a huge church with many people passionate about God that really stirred my heart. I met a middle age lady at the new friends dinner. She is a lady who gave me a feeling that she has a deep sense of loneliness n pain in her life. Her eyes were sorrowful and sad, though we just met, she simply shared freely with me. I saw her emptyness n I felt the urge to reach out to her. I am so blessed to be surrounded with OCFERS and friends whom I can share my heart n my thoughts with and here before me was this lady, praying and seeking God to give her a good galfriend. For a moment, I realised how much I have taken wat God had given me for granted. Friends and housemates r not meant to be taken for granted. Each and every person that passes our path is worth the effort to get to know and to reach out.
Lord, I pray that You remove such selfishness and self-centreness in my being and help me to lead the life u desire for me to have..
Psalm 139: 3-5
You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop n rest. Every moment, you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it Lord. You both precede and follow me You place a hand of blessing on my head.

A New Start?
It took me awhile to decide if I should go back to blogging. Pretty much I guess I should, I still do want to keep the moments that were once precious to me documented before they r forgotten or treated as waste by my limited capacity brain.
The documentation part is probably an occupation hazard. Haha! Sometimes I really wonder why would I record such nitty gritty details in my lab-book. I do enjoy when I get some desired results but not as much when I dun. :(
Life pretty much has started to get more interesting. A moment ago, a thought suddenly found itself in me. Time management! Just had the feeling that my time management skill simply sucks! Why m I taking so long to do something though hard the task maybe but still, I could have done it at a shorter time. I guess its a point where I just need to pause my life and look again at the "Time Wasters" but I need to get pass this week first.
Once Friday is over, Sat to Thursday, I will be down in Melbourne while the rest of the peeps would be at Ecamp!
My long awaited Melbourne trip is finally gonna happen! This thought alone motivates me to get all work done asap!!!!
Alright till then..
Note: I would be buying some Krispy Creams back.. BUT its not for everyone.. I will become broke if I do that..Sorry.. Hope u guys understand..
Hugz..
