On a hill far away...

yep its the Easter weekend!! well to me its a good thing... cos it means its my term break (finally!!) and I get to rest for a week off school and go sightseeing!! =) However I do have my own share of project work and stuff that I have to do cos there's like 2 documents to submit like right after the mid-semester break the following monday!! OH WELL...

anyways today was my long day again.. surprisingly in the morning I was pretty alert until about 11am, when the comp3804 lecturer just put me to sleep.. AGAIN.. well can't blame him if he's boring.. hehehe.. then got back my marks for stage 1.. man its pathetic!! they grade me so little just because of some small thing leh!!! and they grade like 0.xxxx marks one loh!! so everything is only upon 4 marks and I got 2.32.. its bull man... oh well, can't be bothered.. next submission is group stuff already, so think should be able to perform better.. then fell asleep again during the comp3500 lecture after lunch... felt so bad cos was like sitting in front of him.. hahahaha.. cannot take it lah.. very sleepy.. hehehe.. =)

yes i'm in my holiday mood now... even so I just want to share this song with you... we've been singing it in church for the past few weeks now, and it really didn't catch me until David shared on it.. its just an awesome song...

You covered up my sin
yes He did... He covered up our sins with His blood that He shed for you and I... He sacrificed Himself that we might be saved, that we might have eternal life... He has forgiven us of EVERYTHING we have ever done wrong...

You covered up my silence
this was what hit me... He covered up our silence... God's commandment is obedience, yet at times when God tells us to do something, how many times have we put it aside, pretended like we didn't listen, acted as if nothing was going on? He has forgiven us of EVERYTHING that we were supposed to do but didn't....

They tell me to abandon You, to make my dreams come true
how many times has this happened? You want to do awesome stuff for God and people just come up to you and go, "Nah you sure you want to do that? You could go into business, or marketing, get a stable job, get a nice car and house if you just spent more time in your work, in your studies, living your own life the way society says u ought to.." or as musicians go through, "You could make more playing for secular bands, be a sessionist, play in clubs and bars.."

So what am I supposed to do, if I only dream of You?
Indeed, let our dreams be Jesus... cos it's ALL because of Him that we are living, that we are breathing, that we have what we have... everything belongs to God.. we're just stewards of His belongings... if we can live with that focus in mind, nothing is ever too big, or too hard, or too difficult, ALL BECAUSE OF HIM, because we have Him at our side, leading us, guiding us...

What about you? What are your dreams and aspirations? How do you see yourself living or working 10, 15 years from now? What would you have made, profited, established? What would be said of a man that profits the world, but loses his own soul? We remember what Jesus Christ did on the cross during Easter... He gave His very own life, that we might gain life and life to the full... What would you do with Jesus this Easter?
