Single.mind.edness

singleminded (adj.) : intent on only one aim.

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use Every power as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will, and make it Thine: It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own: It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee.


i went in search of the missing shadow, one that had been carried away by the rising and setting of the sun.
i went back to seek a part of my past, one that had been lifted unto the hands of the Son.
As fleeting as the shadows had i become, i broke the heart of my Father
who watched me turn from Him and the cross, with a heart grieved and sighed.

Oh Father i am so sorry to have broken Your heart. I shouldnt have let the past memories and feelings bind me again. Knowing that music usually never fails to sweep my heart's emotions, i did not stop satan from using it to sweep me away. i cannot let the song qin fei de yi transpose me away from You again!

Father i thank You so much for yesternight's sermon, and Pastor Khong's favourite song. No turning back no turning back. I was determined oh Father, that i sang these lines last night with the full strength of my heart, and Father i really want to honour those lines to You. I knew last night, i turned back towards the Cross and Jesus again. And as the shadows of the Cross fleeted away once more, i knew the burdens of the past were once more swept away from me. This time i want it to be final. Father help me to honour my words to You.

I thank You Father too, for putting an assurance in my heart that i had built my house on rock, and not sand. Kern is always saying that i am a strong woman, like a tree, like the redwood tree planted in 1891 in his school. I do feel that i have grown so strong too, and all praises to You Father for this. But Father, i know You desire 100% attention from me -singlemindedness.

Ever will i want to cling on You Lord.

An empty canvas i was born
for the Father's hands to begin to draw
Longing to see the picture He will form
breaths of sigh i would draw
when all my Father patiently did
was to dab and mix the colors long
(to be cont'd)

Bun's birthday wish for this year:
"the full baptism of the holy spirit that it starts with me, pours unto me and flows to my members, resulting in an inside out transformation first. And the rest is up to Him."

Wonderful. Applaud him for this; all glory to God for such a Christward heart. Father, may You honour His wish for You, bless and equip him with the full armor of God to fight and serve You all his life. I boast of You Lord in his strengths, and plead with Jesus to be strong in his weaknesses. Empower Him Father for all that he needs in Your grace to spur himself, his boys and all people around him to run for Jesus. Thank You Lord. And yesh God, once again i pray that nobody, including myself, will ever cause his heart to stumble.


Father bless my gals, not just those under me, but every single one of them who are so close to my heart. Especially for patricia, jean, belinda, kah li, eunice, annabel, hwee jing, xianglin, ain... Father may Your full force of confidence and wisdom be upon them for their O'levels now. Cast out all distractions Lord.

Father open up belinda's heart too, to stop her from running away from You. Give her the strength to face You, and to accept Jesus. Bless the hearts of yvonne, meryl, valerie, ching meei, penny, eloisa, janice, jessie, shangying, xuezhen, kaiwen, kailing, nadhira, nilam, huilan, minghui, joan etc.; draw them nearer to Jesus, and Father may You use me to intercede and to bring them steps closer to You each time i talk with them or meet up with them.

I pray that amanda's baptism remains a miracle for her throughout her life; one that is reflected from the miraculous resurrection of Jesus. Thank You Father for Your words spoken to her through Ee jay's prayers --that she is a kite designed to fly high for Jesus always. And yesh, like what ee jay good old whale said, may she soar in her God-given dreams as well with Your strength and courage.

Father, bless shawna with a good time from now to the Encounter Camp in preparation of her heart and spirit. May her steadfastness in You grow with the days. May You bless her grandmother who is in hospital now Lord with much of Your healing grace and comfort. As well as for patricia's mother, may You grant her a speedy recovery from her operation.

Yawnzzz.

Father i wanna go to hatyai!!! May you grant me concession from my mum and dad as well. Argh, havent been able to talk to my dad properly. He's always talking to me as though i am a child. Well well. Hmm guess should rem what bun says, try to honour him in small ways at least, to let him know that he's not losing me.

My headache seems to be creeping up on me again. Argh better not tell bun anymore. Father i do pray that our friendship, partnership, and whatever become clearer, not in our own ways, but all through Your eyes. I hate vagueness; i don't like hints. Open cards on the table, if you allow.

Oh yeah, may You bless lihui, joan and clement with a good closure in their projects tonight and tmrw!

Father bring my sis selynn nearer to You once more, so close that she can feel Your breath upon her face. May You heal her from the past hurts with your miraculous healing grace; Father i miss her.

And yesh Lord, bless those going mad in the studios now, the year ones and fours. May You see each of them through this final lap; may Your glory shine from every project and every heart. May You be their red bull, coffee...yeah!

heh i myself cannot make it anymore. Came back at 6 this morn and slept till 9plus only. The archi lifestyle!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh.......................

My bed is beckoning me. Oops havent read my bible. See you there God!
