In Christ alone I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the Cross. In every victory, let it be said of me- my source of strength, my source of hope,

Is Christ alone.

Take my hand, Precious Lord

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am worn. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light. Take my hand, Precious Lord, and lead me home.

When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near; when my life is almost gone. Hear my cry, hear my call, take my hand lest I fall. Take my hand, Precious Lord, and lead me home.

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me one, let me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am lone. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light. Take my hand, Precious Lord, oh lead me home.

shushing one minute on MSN because i have been ordered to

Blogging on the spur of the moment, because I have reason to rejoice :) And thank God for.

First, for friends like Shana, whom I can straight-talk with and sort out my emotions and burdens. Who on one hand seems self-absorbed yet has always proven herself to be sensitive and caring.

Second, for giving our JS project a new direction. After months of descriptive and pointless (but undoubtedly essential) information, now we know how to use it.

This from a tired, frustrated and stressed pair of girls. Is that God, or what?

(:

Today is the day, you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it~

I know, the song's about being thankful for each day that God makes, without any other particular reason, so it doesn' t really apply... let's try another song.

Can't think of it. But even in psalms King David agrees that God's mercies are new every morning, new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness~

La~ ^^

Paradox of having lots of assignments

Haiyoh. Can't see how I'm gonna live out the rest of the next two weeks... Probably by not sleeping. And by praying. Very hard!

The Low Down on Due Dates

Monday (aka tmr): PS2234 Think Piece 3
Tuesday: JS Facilitation report
Wednesday: PS2239 Class Presentation
Thursday: Breathe, breathe!
Friday: PS2249 Essay

Monday: GEK1012 Project
Tuesday: Whew...
Wednesday: Take a deep breath...
Thursday: GEK1012 Project Presentation; JS Final Paper
Friday: Dies of lack of sleep

Monday: PS2239 Essay

And then faint and sleep for three days straight, before getting up to mug for finals.

Hahahahha~ I amuse myself sometimes.

OH my God. I don't know HOW I'm going to get past the next two weeks.

Please give me strength...!

Elaine has told me, most interestingly, that a certain (in)famous musician is arranging church music! That's kinda pretty cool :) Church music needs nice orchestral arrangements. Plus it's always cool when a person realizes that they need God.

Worth a prayer. Janey will say one tonight.

Feel overwhelmed by paralysis. So it all piles up. Assignment begets assignment...

Oh yes. Just for the sake of blogging. Recently, I've been feeling that "only the deepest love shall induce me to marriage", to quote Jane Austen.

Marriage is overrated. 100%. Elizabeth Bennett got it right first time.

Shout out to God

In the midst of a busy life, I have reason to Thank God! So here it is.

Tutorial facilitation went better than I expected, so THANKS GOD!

GPS (Governance and Politics in Singapore) essay marks were better than expected too! THANKS GOD!

Anime event on Sunday also went pretty well, so, well, Thanks again God.

Somehow words don't seem enough. Just like on Sunday when I felt so helpless, I could only keep repeating in my head, help God help! Didn't even know what kind of help to ask for... just. Help!

It reminds me of the time I was baptised; I told God I wouldn't mind having to struggle if it meant I'd be forced closer to Him... and I guess I was taken at my word! But whether or not I had made that commitment, life would be difficult anyway. Best to see it the correct way.

Some arts (read: political science) professors say there's no absolute truth in this world. I can only feel sorry for them and say "absolutely not."
