"I Will Rise" Chris Tomlin

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
[x2]

[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

i dreamt of you last night. a sweet dream.

but the thoughts i had just now, made me all topsy turvy, emotional quite disturbed.

the things you do makes me confused when i reflect upon it.

arggghh! such are the useless/worthless activities that goes through my mind, makes me mad.

i should just give it all up, which i have, but on and off, still at times emotionally wrecked.

in conclusion, it's a process, not a miracle. I'll get better. soon.

still fighting. the battlefield of the mind.

now, that's one reason why i do not reflect. stupid thoughts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
more than an hour later.

yes, i'm still at it. :(

totally affected, u can tell.

when moments like these happens.. i kinda wished you were here simply because i was dancing in the rain in hope of the rainbow.

right attitude: be still, not all hope is lost, cause He is still HIM, and He is more than enough of me, more awesome that I will ever know, the future He holds.

List 2: Random Past Times...

1. Happily buy a lego set and start building it, at times it will take a few days, but i like to finish what i started in a day or two so i won't lose any of the pieces.
But after i finish building them, i don't know what to do with it.
The Indiana Jones set that i recently built is just lying on my table.

2. I like doing jigsaw puzzles with one other person, and similarly, i have no idea what to do with them. i like to declutter. haha.

3. Taking Polaroids with my vintage camera at some ulu place like Japanese park or some random place.

4. Make a massive artwork, collage, card, after collecting alot of photos.

5. Photoshop stuff!

6. Re-Paint my room, Decorate with random stuff.

7.

i need You, Lord, in the battlefield of my mind.

{.Your love is extravagant.}




rewind and explore.

there are a few lists that i would like to make. name it 10.

List 1: the things i like

1. my all time perk me up favourite, super like, really special to me books: Dr Seuss - Green Eggs & Ham, Patrick McDonell - The Gift of Nothing and Olivia - Dream Big

each book has a story to tell in and of itself, and the story behind this book. :)








2. favourite comfort food: homemade pumpkin soup; i frequent cedele when i need a perk me up

3. what i like to cook: roasted pumpkin bits with italian herbs in virgin olive oil

4. my mornings can't do without soaking in the sunshine on my face, and feeling the breeze in my hair, and smelling the lavendars. and this i relish walking down stirling highway to school in the morning. But in reality, my mornings can't do without a "Good Morning Holy Spirit" and a smile to start the day right, cause everything is gonna be good for His mercies are new every morning.

5. debate about handcream brands: i love L'Occitance's Green Tea vs Crabtree & Evelyn, cause i feel it dries my hands ever further using C&E.

6. bathlust (my favourite essentials): L'Occintane lavendar detangling shampoo & conditioner, L'Oreal Smooth Intense Hair Serum, Faceshop Sake Relief Shower Foam, L'Occintane Rice Water Facial Cleanser, Enderme Preskin Facial Scrub, Bliss Triple Oxygen Face Mask, Kiehl's Mightnight Recovery Concentrate for Face, Faceshop Sunblock Matte, TheBodyShop Lemongrass Foot Soak. love love love*

7. i do not usually buy magazines but i love reading them at borders, especially on furniture & architecture.
Exceptionally, featuring my friends like the nuyou i bought featuring Olivia Ong but i have not a friggin' idea what is the article about, or if i'm in another country like Look in London, or Frankie in Perth or if i'm going for the freebies instead like paul mitchell's hair serum from (i forgot, maybe Her World or Female).

8. shopping haunts (in singapore): far east plaza. it's what my friends call "rachel's doom". to me it's like wonderland, which also translates to bank account anorexic. for window shopping would be Haji Lane, Ann Siang Hill, Flea Markets. Most of my clothes are either from my travel trips (Korea, UK, Japan, US of A, Aust) or from my really cool photographer Auntie's vintage closet, and just a few branded pieces.

9. i still think that my twenty-first birthday party i had was really well-planned from the decor to the food to the invites. :DDD

10. favourite drink: Billy Bomber's Chocolate Malt

11. favourite dessert: Ciao Italia's Tiramisu from Perth

12. I stay away as far as possible from pizzas in Singapore, cause it's never good enough for the calories i have to burn. But so far, Peperoni pizzeria at Greenwood is my favourite. Disclaimer for the pizza i recently had was for work. I had to, in digust. I got paid extra. Oh wells!

13. a treat to self: starbucks hazelnutte latte & cranberry turkey sandwich

14. i wish i could be playing tennis twice a week, every week, trained by a professional.
If only i could afford $ and time.

15. i wish i knew how to play the drums well.
If only i could learn despite my disabilities.

16. i wish i was graceful, and learnt dance when i was a kid.

17. i wish i horse ride frequent.
If only i could afford it.

18. i wish i would be more confident.
i would be able to face you right now and say what my heart longs to say. Much more than you know.

But my likes makes me unique and my wishes makes me who i am today. It doesn't stop here cause there's always many things to be thankful for. Wishes are just dreams waiting to be realised.
