Jeremy Camp - Trust in You

I can't see you
I know your there
I can feel you
I will not fear
I will trust in you and
I will not be afraid

When the battle is close at hand
Though your with me
You help me stand
I will trust in you
And i will not be afraid

i will not be afraid
i will not be afraid

I will trust in you
I will trust in you
I will trust in you

When the darkness is close at hand
And i'm running against the wind
I will trust in you
And i will not be afraid

When i'm standing upon that shore
Of the battle
Have gone before
I will trust in you
And i will not be afraid

don't waste your life

that's exactly what he said.
I was inspired by a speaker, Kevin Conner who spoke at FGT that day
who has no regrets following Jesus
and pleads with us to not fall away
and is still really touched with the grace God showed him more than 60 years ago
and is going around the world preaching
at 83 years of age

All around

Everywhere I look Your love is all around

Singing it seems easier than saying it though. Sometimes it's seems as if it is not, and that is a fact of life. Some places feels as though love is inexistent, some people as though love is a foreign language.

Nevertheless, God says His love is always there. It's a choice of whether or not we want to accept His gift, and give it out

Sometimes we feel like not loving anymore. sometimes we feel unloved. sometimes we feel lonely. What i've learnt is that these are moments when God is nudging ever so gently, 'hey, it's me you're looking for'

Run back to Him. It's worth it.

He is all around

Lean on Him

How hard it is to do that.

How reliant we are on friends, internet, communication, entertainment, relationships, mobiles, facebook, games, sports, music and the list is endless.. try fasting these for a week and not many will survive

How reliant are we on the things of God? on reading His word, of soaking in His presence and on communicating with Him? Most can last for days, weeks, months and years without Him, and yet, He is the most important thing in this life that won't pass away..

Countdown

Again it feels dawning that my time in Monash University is almost up. Even though I know very well I've got to push on for another 13 weeks or so till it's all over *hopefully *fingers crossed

In moments like this i find it quite amazing that I still find some 'time' per se to still sit down, ponder and blog. I don't know how to express this feeling, it's the 'i-can't-wait-for-all-of-this-to-be-over' feeling combined with the 'aww-man-i-have-to-do-so-many-things' kind of feeling.

I do know what I miss. My room. it's messyness and the awesome internet connection that i now have in my room (must be my dad's strategy of encouraging me to stay at home haha!). I really treasure moments of quietness and alone'ness and nothing-to-do'ness. it's so rare. it almost feels weird when it happens. as if something is wrong when there's nothing to do.

owl city is nice to listen in times like this. so happy and cheerful.

i sound as if i've got nothing to do now. how i wish that was true :)

well. back to running around and getting things done ;)
