Under the ewather

Apparently I have tons of work to do but I'm feeling so sick and tired that I can't process anything at all. It's like my body refuses to cooperate or something. It doesn't help that mum keeps screaming at me.

Calm down calm down

I just had to do that.

“Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” - Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)

Rain Down

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilities"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear


I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and
place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands

I did badly for Mid-Years. I need you, God.

But otherwise, I love the work you're doing in our church, in our cell. <3

Wired For Worship by Louie Gigolo
In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day by Mark Batterson

An Excerpt from Louie Giglio’s book, “Wired: For a Life of Worship.”

"Drop in on a concert at the local arena or go to a sporting event at a nearby stadium and you will see amazing worship. People are going for it, lifting their hands, shouting like crazy, staking their claim, standing in awe, declaring their allegiance. Interestingly, these venues are filled with the same forms of worship mentioned in God’s Word - the same expressions of worship that God desires and deserves.

A while back, watching an interview Oprah was doing with Michael Jackson in the prime of his career, I was stunned with the reality of this truth. What I witnessed as she showed a video clip of people responding to him in concert settings around the world absolutely floored me. Talk about amazing worship!

In multiple cultures, mobs of people numbering into the hundreds of thousands were glued as one to his every move. On every continent they gathered like an army, waving their hands in the air. Some fell to their knees. Others strained with out-stretched hands, hoping for a brief touch from his. Seared in my mind is the image of one young girl with a look on her face of total awe.
I couldn’t believe it. What I was watching was some of the most intense worship I’d ever seen…anywhere. Far more “full-on” than much of what I’d experienced inside the church.

And for what? Granted, Michael Jackson was a living legend when it came to entertainment, but he’s not a great god. Not even close. Yet the worship was phenomenal, demonstrating the God-given capacity for adoration that is rooted in the soul of every man.”

The question comes up, why does every person pour out their adoration onto anything but the God who gave them that passion? My thoughts are simple…I feel there are two reasons. We seek tangibility…something to place high that we can see, comprehend, feel, etc. Also, by putting such adoration into something earthly we don’t really have to work. Say a celebrity…to worship them, you don’t have to give them anything other than your praise and they will return the favor by perhaps releasing more songs or movies. When it comes to God, man often feels guilty when “worshiping” without having put in the work He requests of us.

Remember, Adoration is rooted in the soul of every man, so ask yourself…Where are you placing yours?

B & E

My friend from the States emailed me a story he wrote to cheer me on for my exams. It was called the tale of Bellezza and Enkle (silly made-up names that he thought of). Here's an excerpt:

"In an attempt to ruin the friendship Google used a powerful curse to control the head of Bellezza's school. Google made Bellezza's school do exams, and made all of these exams extremly difficult so the Bellezza had to spend all day, 14 hours or more, inside of the school. Seeing as Enkle lived in the US and it was the height of their heat filled summer Google was sure that he would be out of school and on the edge of devastating complete boredom, Google hoped that Enkle would resort to finding a real life and forgetting all about Princess Bellezza. But the almighty Google didn't count on the power of friendship, one which Bellezza and Enkle had formed. "

Will is the sweetest, really.

State of The Life, Now

Right now, I miss MFP,
and I wish I can fly to Arizona and/or Georgia to see my fabulous friends. (That's almost 15000km away!)
I have bad stomach pains. Feels as though there's an alien with a knife in my abdomen haplessly cutting up my insides.
I don't really like blogging anymore.
I'm going home to rest, then study.

I miss MegaLife.
