The Spirit Carries On

'The Spirit Carries On' an awesome song! Thou it may not be written by a christian band. but the lyrics are meaningful I feel. Although I don't understand some parts.

The Spirit Carries On

Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, life is too short,
The here and the now
And youre only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that weve got?

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
Im not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear

Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victorias real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
Its perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Stagnant waters move

Hey everyone! This blog is gonna come alive again! :D

How has everyone been? Well last night cell at Ethel's house was awesome! so was todays 'my hope' training!

I've been feeling so satisfied with where I am with God! But during cell worship yesterday, Daniel Tan said some words that really reminded me of my encounters with GOd last year and I felt God so strongly yesterday! 

Haha! I suddenly feel like writing a song haha! anyway, Here it is, tot i just share it with U bros and siss in Christ:

E            B/D#    C#m              A

 Waters still, at where they are

E            B/D#    C#m              A

 Dust collecting on the surface

C#m                     A

How long can I stand

C#m                     A

How long can I last

E                        B

God touch our thirsty hearts again

C#m B               A

dry, weary and broken

E                           B

God, stir up the waters in our hearts 

                C#m                     A

and then stagnant waters move again

C#m   B                  A

Then I go back into the week

C#m   B                  A

Have I lost that touch from that day

B                        A                                   B 

I feel like that day,never happened, yea

E                        B

God touch our thirsty hearts again

C#m B               A

dry, weary and broken

E                           B

God, stir up the waters in our hearts 

                C#m                     A

and then stagnant waters move again

God Bless! 

PRAISE GOD!!!

I lost my wallet last tue. And I thought there was no hope of it being found.. And somehow i still prayed for it to be found everyday. And today I received a call that my ez-link card was found. So I went to tamp mrt to collect it! Although the person did not return the wallet and my ez link card value was all used up, at least i got it back. I hope ill get back my wallet or at least the stuff inside.
But I guess this really showed me that God will not give you a task and leave you to deal with it alone! He will see you through it! And guide you each step! :D

Hello people, can y'all update pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. At least leave a tag, the cell blog's like getting so dead! Ohohoh, can we take a cell picture? :)

God bless, study hard! Ethel.

Hello people, :)

Nubian Gents is coming up, let's invite our friends and let them have a chance to know who God is! Give them a lil' bit of Jesus and also remember, we not only have to tell them how much God loves them, we must show it to them!

We shouldn't deny anyone a chance to know who God is.

Oh, can y'all update or smthing? The cell blog's getting dead. You can ask me for the user and id if you're not sure of it or something.

Ethel:)

School

Hey guys, how have school been?
here are some verses and stuff to encourage you guys =)

God created school and education so He is always there!
... For surely I will be with you till the end of age.
Matthew 28:20


Lets keep talking to God as the days go by.


I will never leave you, never will I forsake you. The LORD is my helper, i will not be afraid, what can man do to me?
Hebrews 13:5-6


Trust in God, the devil will try to put distress into your heart. reject them with the word of God.
Do check out the book of Matthew to see how Jesus rejected the devil while He ws fasting for 40 days.

Hello cell! I'm back. :D
I'm posting here 'cause Ryan asked to and also because I'm bored. Tommorrow's Saturday! Finally, after a long long time, its Saturday! I havent been to church for two weeks already. -.- Anyway, I've been listening to this song 'One Life, One Love' and I think its a very meaningful one! I can't find the soundtrack on imeem, if you do upload it okay!
Anyway, the lyrics are:

Who am I
that you would know me from the start
set me apart

who am I
that you would place eternity
into my heart

you have given to me
more than this world could give
my purpose is found in you

one life, i lay at your altar
one love, i have in you

touch me again
fill me as you hold
my outstreched hands

one word you know i will follow
one heart broken to you

use me again
your mercy following
follow my day

in your presence
in your power holy spirit,
i surrender

See you people tommorrow! Ethel here. :D

I want to eat on a merry-go-round. Heh, random thought!

Judging people and being free in the face of problems

Judging people and being free in the face of problems

Ryan here,

I feel that I've been judging people quickly..
And that shouldn't be the case..

"Dear God I pray that You help me not judge people so quickly and by what I see from the outside.. In Jesus name Amen."

One thing is that I gotta change my whole view about school and school friends.. I always felt that almost all school friends are the worst friends. But today during a meeting of science and geog project and I felt that it was fun being with school friends and I gotta start reaching out to them.
Although they can be unreasonable at times but lets still love them!

Think of it in this point of view, most of them don't know God and thats why life to them is boring and stuff.. So lets not blame them but be a light to them and let them see the difference in us.

I always hear in Church the speaker saying that when you become a Christian your life wont be trouble-free but you'll be free in the face of troubles. But I never really understood that until recently.. My chinese tuition teacher always say im happy. Even on days when im troubled or when im down.. Recently as I think about it, I finally understand what the speaker means by when you become a Christian you'll be free in the face of problems!

Most of us when we're down or all the time, we just talk to God may in the bus or wherever,
but imagine if there was no one to talk to when we're alone.
Thats the position that non-believers are at! Let's not hate them when they sound sian to study and stuff. Its usual that we may get angry with them but thats ok! Why? Because God created us to have emotions so its normal and not wrong to get angry. But lets not get angry and hate them!
