Step towards you

Steps

A morning full of worries, A noon full of anxiety , how can i go on like this , how far can i go before breaking down , how deep can i hide all my cries, how long must i wait, before i take another step towards You.

An afternoon full of cold breeze, An evening full of light wind, Here i am again at Your throne of Grace, yearning to seek Your face, yearning to hear Your voice;

A night has yet to come, but all the work has started to pile up, seems like i am earning a second just to lose another minute , how long must i wait , before i take another step towards You.

A heart that is broken, shattered in pieces yet still was hold by the strings of pride, how am i supposed to feel, felt like i am not moving forward, yet not backwards either, keep on standing on what i had, never seeking out for more of You , how long must i wait , before i take another step towards You.

Yet, i know i am a prisoner that had been set free , Your love has opened up to door of life to me, but how LORD, how am i supposed to live , teach me to walk humbly with You, teach me to guard my heart above all things .. teach me to step towards You.

Another cup of coffee, just want to taste your sweetness again Lord, the sweetness beyond the bitterness of life , the sweetness of Your love.

hmm , i wrote this poem a few months ago,
yet part of it is still reflecting where i am at in my heart ,

something about God's grace

here i am again, writing my blog at the beginning of another week,
last week was an "OK" week, there were some great stuff that happened in my life,
there were also some not so cool stuff that happened, anyways,
life is busy and that is for sure,
one question that i had on my mind was about God's grace vs Personal works + personal holiness,
and how one's personal holiness is important .. etc .. i was .. let's say .. confused over it .. so i asked God about it last nite .. and well .. this morning .. here's the verse my Pastor shared during his sermon, Titus 2:11-13 " For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, " .. He hit RIGHT on the target .. :-) .. it's BY and THRU God's grace that we can say "No" to un-godliness .. again .. BY and THRU God's grace .. not by our own plans or works .. well 1st if we are w/o GOD .. then any WORKS is dead .. .. , but then it's that GRACE that teaches us how to live this life .. :-) cool huh ..
well ... that's all i have,
i hope this coming week will be a good one,
and yeap i am doing a teaching in my bible study ...
don't quite sure what to teach yet .. anyways ..
maybe somewhere along the line of Legalism vs Lawlessnes vs Grace of God ...
check this sermon out by John Piper .. http://www.desiringgod.org/library/sermons/04/062704.html

another day

another day,
yeap,
another tiring day,
seems like there's endless stuff to do every single day,
from homework to work to homegroup's stuff and then the social part of my life,
then of course, my spirituality too ....
i've been thinking about the "rest" that Jesus Christ was talking about
in the Bible .. the rest that God promised those who listened to Him,
that "rest" sounds REALLY good in a busy semester where i have to rush
from one event to another and another event to another ... while in between
events ... blasting off my speakers at my car or crib seems like the norm to help me
get my mind off a lot of stuff .. anyways .. (too much Top 40 music is not good either .. so
fan-friendly pop-ballard has slowly creep back into my world of music ... LOL .. stuff like
old LPs from Backstreetboys , NSync , Westlife , PlusOne .. etc) haha ...

anyways ..
another day lays ahead,
i gotta choose to live it,
or else it's gonna be another dead day of chasing and dragging.

gotta live for HIM,
gotta rest in HIM.

Time

1st week of school,
it's the dawning of another semester,
i seemed un-interested at some point .. to many things,
just got back from summer,
and now i felt like i need another break,
ha ...
don't know why,
i guess the 1st few weeks are always stressful because
there are so many things going on ....
well ..
guess i need to believe what Jesus said,
to go to Him for His yoke is light,
anyways ..
1 Peter 5:7
is my fav. verse and it's going to cont. to be my fav. verse,
i hope i truly come to realise the meaning of that verse.

~ tech.

well . A&M lost to Utah.
and umm .. i got 2 months of Free Napster from Bestbuy,
and i am liking it !

A new beginning

well,
1st day of school,
it's a new beginning of another school year,
nope i didn't get lost on campus this time,
nope i wasn't late for my class,
and yes the campus still seems LARGE and HUGE to me,
and yes i was STILL nervous to go back to school,
anyways.
something God showed me today was i really need to step out of my comfort zone,
i know we all have comfort zones and they come in all kind of shapes and sizes,
sometimes i know how to bust that bubble but sometimes i don't,
which is something that requires a lot of God's grace and strength ..
anyways ..
a new semester,
a new vision for life ...
a new season of life ...
let's go and make a difference.

---

something to take note of for the 1st week of school ...
the RNC ( Repulican National Convention) in the Big Apple ...
the 1st Round of NCAA Football Games ..(A&M vs Utah)
and .. of course .... people around me (i should take note of them too :-p)

take care.

new skin

hmm.. "StarBucks" blogskin,
kinda cool huh,
i came across this at blogskins.com
and thought that it's kinda cool ..
so i decided to put it on my blog,
what do ya think ?

Lookin' forward

i'm lookin' forward to the changes in life,
cuz lookin' backwards certainly will not help,
i've thought out and planned where i wanna go,
but it's up to You ,God to lead me,
i've seen You leading me towards the other direction,
yet i've ended up in the same place,
but it was the journey that made the difference,
even when You've led me to a different place thru different route,
You've provided comfort and strength for me,
i want to trust Your leadings and ways,
it's just sometimes i am tired of walking,
well,
here's another year,
another month,
another brand new day,
let's embark on a brand new journey,
to the place that You've destined me to be,
let's go,
and let's be.

Head Over Feet

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

i will remember you.

I Will Remember You (by Sarah McLachlan, Seamus Egan, and Dave Merenda)

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you byWeep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories


will she remember me?
will i remember her?
i hope so.

Time

Time
By: Backstreet Boys


I know that I, I can't believe
Just what the past has brought me
To the man I wanna be
I know that we have had some times
That we can't forget the struggle
Cause we have so far to go

Bridge:
I know we've changed but
Change can be so good
So let's not forget why
It's understood that

Chorus:
Time, look where we are and what we've been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what may (come what may)


I remember when, mom used to say
That things are getting better
And you'll soon be on your way
Remember those days
When we would sing at the drop of a dime (Oooh)
Way back when nothing mattered (Mmm, mm, mm)

BRIDGE

CHORUS:

So here we are(here we are)
And we'll always stay together
And through it all you know we owe it all to you, you, you , you
Time goes on and on

CHORUS (x2)

Time, goes on and on everyday, Time is what it is
Come what may
Come what may


...

a great song by the boys ..
well .. one of those great b-side songs ..
remember .. it'll get better ..
so hang in there !

i dun wanna cry

i don't wanna cry ,
cuz my tears had gone dry,
i know where the answers lie,
i just need to go there and find,
my heart is willing,
but the mind is not,
seems like i just can't get outta this box,
can't get outta this flock,
i gotta run,
i have no guns,
to fight the enemies that seems no fun,
ahh ,
i gotta run ...
cause i can't finish my rhyme.

~tech ...
(some verses that rhyme ...)

my sister and i .. kert and kerry's wedding .. :-) 

Untitled.

Here goes another week in the summer ,
i guess during the summer .. weeks go by really fast,
two more weeks then i am done with summer school,
then i'll have to adjust myself back into the 8-5
monday to friday work mode for 2 months ...
don't get me wrong i love working,
i love my job and i love hanging out at my job ,
but obviously it's different from going to school,
granted i don't have to worry about homeworks or exams,
but i do have to worry about computers .. lol ..

talking about adjusting to a full time employee life,
my friend Nick .. shared some insights about that during
my homegroup guys time .. he shared about .. the responsibilities
of a student , ie. school, work .. etc .. comparing to the responsibilities of
a MAN .. ie. family , work , social .. etc .. and how demanding it will be ..
and he pointed out a really good point about spiritual life,
if we (as students / young man w/ lotta free times) cannot discipline ourselves
to seek the LORD .. it will be harder for the days when we get older .. and have a family ..

i totally agree with him ..
so y'all .. start buildin' this relationship with God thru Christ ..
He's always there pursuing us .. it's just the matter of fact whether we are responding
to HIM or not ,
we can choose to run and drown ourselves in this world ,
or we can immerse ourselves in the truth found in the creator of this world.

..

anyways.

have a good one ..
~tech

that's me .. in my tux !
