Cry of our hearts

Even greater- Planetshakers.

Now is the time for God's people to arise.
The Day is here, Lord Your kingdom we will build.
We are called for greater,
We called for more
So let Your love and power move through us.

All we want is You Lord, come and fill us.
Hear the cry of our hearts, come and pour it out,
Pour it out on us.
You alone are the one we desire,
You alone are the one that we're living for.
So pour it out on us.

We believe for even greater, we believe for more.
Let Your power come upon us as we believe for more.

No great procession, of vain appeal, but my sincerity. Be Thou exalted, Jesus forever.

hello... i really feel like running now after being reminded of NP's runner's relay that's coming up (nope im not joining) but it totally reminds me of sec 3 track times!! totally remembered how we ran around NP for 1.2km (not knowing it'd be my future school....) and passing that toilet-roll-sized baton which was so easy to drop. and our guys' team coming in first!! when they announced "NGEE ANN... secondary" *priceless reaction from NP people*

which also reminds me of this certain incident when i was in sec 1... we had a 'Ngee Ann tour' so we went to all landmarks of Ngee Ann and i remember going to NP's atrium (of course didnt know it was called atrium) all i did know was that i hated the environment it appeared so old and depressing to me and i said to myself "I WILL NEVER EVER COME TO NP! cos it's super ugly and blablabla" hahaha come to think of it it's so funny but won't deny the fact that atrium is still old-looking... and i remember that was part of sec 1 orientation... and i was so fired up, i wanted to win NAS (ngee ann sec) for Jesus! and there was only me, i didnt know how to go about it.. and i remember me sharing with my lab buddy, karen, about the egg and chicken story and how there must be a creator... haha.  hilarious. and sharing to yingting! and meeting fayth (and like the "OH you are from VFC and i remember you from CW but i'm not talking to you unless
you talk to me cos it's like kinda.. y'know, weird?")   but i just wanna say that God
has been so faithful to me through out my secondary school life. during my sec2-sec3 times i
kinda left Church but God never left me and He was so faithful and so merciful to me. He placed wonderful leaders over me... like ck and peaj. <3 and God even restored back to us our nas outreach. it was just so amazing... and up till now, seeing so many nas people in cornerstone, it's just so touching and whenever i look back i know God is faithful... the amazing friends He has placed in my life, fayth, yt, reb, vivi, josh... yeah, you all are sitll very close to my heart.

and today, 4 years later, once again i find myself being so fired up by God's grace, desiring to win my school for Jesus. and i know God is faithful. i know He never fails. when He calls, He enables. Jesus, come and take my life. i wanna live it for You. God is God, and He is unstoppable. and last night God just dropped this in my heart- 'Ask of Me and I will give you the nations.' and tonight during prayer mtg He spoke it to me once again through someone. God is able to give us nations. what more a school right. :) which reminds me of a song...

God be Praised, Our God Reigns- New Life Worship.
God be praised, all the glory to Your awesome name.
all creation rising up to say- we know Our God Reigns.
Though the earth will shake and battles rage,
we know Our God Reigns.

out of ashes You lifted us,
to the table You came and filled our cup.
every heart and soul,
all we are and more,
Praise The Lord.

and is it only me, or for everyone, that for every season of your life you will constantly listen to the same few songs. like they are same few songs that you will wake up to. the same few songs that will keep rising in your heart?! haha 'cause for the past week i've been listening to the same few songs and i kinda don't wanna listen to any other songs! but i really love all the songs that have been 'ringing' in my head and heart for the past week. :)

here is my life Lord, You can use it,
to show the world You care.

Your presence is all I need
It's all I want, all I seek
Without it, without it there's no meaning
Your presence is the air I breath
The song I sing, the love I need
Without it, without it I'm not living

I will exalt You, Lord, I will exalt You, Lord
There is no one like You God
I will exalt You, Lord, I will exalt You, Lord
No other name be lifted high

There will be no one like You
And no one beside You
You alone are worthy of all praise
There will be no one like You
And no one beside You
You alone are worthy of all praise

Forever i am changed.

 and this is our snack bar.... hahahahaha!!

sunday morning service! :) anywya i removed my braces already!! time flies~~ seriously. seems like just yesterday when ck told me to be brave...

anyway youthcamp was just so great and awesome because of GOD! it's just very amazing to see how our youth ministry is being elevated to a whole new horizon. i really know in my heart that theEDGE is gonna take singapore for Jesus! and i'm so excited. more than that i know things in the spiritual changed. there was such a deep work of God. and direct impartation of faith and His anointing and spirit. i've been to 6 youth camps and there is NOTHING like this. i experienced God in a way i've never before. i could feel Him all round me, His fire and His intimate love for us. God really set me free from lots of things! like accusations from the devil which i unknowingly agreed to. and He reminded me of the promises He promised for my school and family. He told me the spirit that always holds me back whenever i try to share the gospel is gone, only His presence will go with me.... God is just so amazing. through Him my heart sings 'i am free!' and my prayer that whoever's reading this, you will be set free in Jesus' name! there's freedom in His name. God is powerful.

and i really love the session about personal relationship with God. it hit me so hard and i felt so convicted. but right there and then God came so close to me and He held me in His arms. He told me it's alright... all the times i spend time with Him just so i could feel better. all those times i spend time with Him just because i know i need to. He told me His love never fails. and this relationship with Him, He'll lead me. we'll do it together. 'The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not want.' -Psalm 23:1.

after encountering God, it's so difficult for me to express myself in words. because God is beyond desciption. too marvelous for words.

and the prayer of my heart everyday is just-
O Lord, consume every part of me. all i want is You. all i want to see is Your glory.

i need You more
more than yesterday,
i need You Lord
more than words can say.
i need You more
than ever before.
i need You Lord,
i need You Lord.

more than the air i breathe
more than the song i sing
more than the next heartbeat
more than anything
and Lord, as time goes by,
i'll be by Your side
'cause i never want to go back to my old life.

The way my Father loves me is the reason that I'm here.

Where all You are is glorious oh God,
Victorious and strong.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear.
Where all You are is powerful and true.
You're good in all You do.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear.

You are for me
You came to save me
You will never let me go
In my heart I'll always know

Love is not selfish.

this is one of the 'remembrance' given to me by angelica, a kid from an orphanage in phlippines. aww, children are really teachers of love. never kissed and got kissed by so many kids at once.

also, never knew i could be so attatched to people just within such a short period of time. had one of the most teary goodbyes in my 17 years of living. but God is so good. His peace and grace was overwhelming. i love you Jesus.

and it feels so good to be home...

goodnight. :)

Each morning i wake to find You near.

hey, so i guess i'm leaving on a jet plane in about 8 hrs time? yeah, it's kinda bittersweet.. but i know God is with me. and that's all that i need. :)

anyway, the sermons for the past 2 days were really timely for me... and God has been speaking to me, and i really thank God for speaking to me. He came closer, He came so close to me. His love is so great, so amazing, so deep, so pure, so rich, so warm, so... breath taking i can't explain it. i love you, Jesus. i just wanna stay in Your presence forever. rest in Your presence, cry in Your presence, laugh, smile, dance, sing in Your presence, sleep in Your presence and grow up in Your presence. i love you Lord. <3 dearest God, take me away with You.

and i felt so strongly... "just one more time."
Luke 5:5
But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

which reminds me of a song i used to sing in the shower since i was little... just wanna share it with whoever's reading...

"You are the Lord, in whom i can trust.
You are the Lord, my desire.
every step of the way, You take my hands and say,
You'll always be here right beside me.
When i call on You i know You'll come to me.

You are my Lord,
in whom i can trust.
You are my fortress,
You're my deliver,
my strength,
my shield.
For all of my days,
my hope is in you, Jesus.
who loved me with His life,
the Rock of my salvation,

in whom i can trust."

We are the world.

There comes a time
When we hear the certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life-
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

honestly i've never really listened to this song before... but today i decided to listen to it...  it really touched my heart and  it brought me to tears. "we can't go on pretending day by day that someone, somewhere will soon make a change." how true is that? if we don't go then who will? everyday God looks down from heaven with love, saying in His heart- whom shall I send

i am sorry Lord.  i'm sorry for pretending. i'm done pretending not to see, Lord. give me Your heart for Your people. give me Your loving eyes. give me Your strong yet gentle arms. Lord, give me Your compassion.


Lord, here i am. send me.

Goodnight.

i just felt so overwhelmed and drained at the same time, (yeah two very contradicting words) due to school work and stuffs... but God is just so faithful and He is so good.
He never fails to fill me up with His love. lets me rest. He never fails.

The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not want. -Psalm 23:1

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion;
in the secret place of His tabernacle,
He shall hide me.
He shall set me upon a high rock. -Psalm 27:5

Goodnight Jesus, i love you.
-cherylfaith.

Give me Your eyes so i can see, everything that i keep missing.

hello. i am going philippines this coming monday with my course for 5 days! honestly i feel very mixed up. having mixed feelings. i am kind of dreading it because of all the living condition and how everything's like so rushed... and it's pretty expensive for a 5-days trip to a fishing village. $900++!!! hahaha. sorry for complaining but even my hk trip for 7 days is cheaper! and apparently the toilet is 2km away (i hope my teacher was kidding) without lights, heater, flush... and it's home-stay!! and everything there is muddy and poke-ish we cant wear our slippers and all... and i'll be cut of totally from singapore.... because there won't be any network there, no socket no electricity at all! aww will miss my mommy and daddy and cel and gab!! and of course all my friends. <3

the silver lining? we are going to the slum area, smoky mountain. (you can google it) it's the place where the poorest of the poorest live in. it's actually just a huge rubbish dump. and i'm kind of excited, to meet the kids there... i wanna give them my dresses and accessories! and ya i wanna hugggg them. :) they need to know a God out there loves them... and i wanna share the gospel with the family i'm gonna stay with. so ya. they are actually worth it. the toilet. the money. the heat and all the discomfort. and anyway deep into thoughts i kinda wrote a poem for them... pardon me.





all those people they never get a proper place to rest
all those little girls, most will never get to wear a dress.
nor will the little boys get to gel their hair.
they would never know how precious they are in the sight of their Father
how He loves them like no other.

so where are we, what are we doing here.
will you leave your place of comfort
will you go beyond the dirt
will you be God's outstretched arms,
arms for the broken-hearted.

will you live to carry His compassion
will you go the extra mile
to love a world that's lost and broken?

I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

-2 Cor 12:8-9

You hold me now- hillsong.

VERSE 1:

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free


PRE CHORUS 1:
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

CHORUS:
No weeping no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now
You hold me now


VERSE 2:
In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails
Where Your Name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day


PRE CHORUS 2:
Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone


BRIDGE:
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

My Lord, My love.

in Your presence, all my sorrows are gone.
the hurt and the pain, they are all fading away.
the shame and the guilt, they are being wiped off.
all my worries and cares, they are in Your hand.

i just want to be in Your presence.
forever.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful

<sup>Oh Lord, You're beautiful.
Your face is all i see.
For when Your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take Your word and shine it all around.
But first help me just live it Lord.
And when i do it well, Lord help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is bringing glory to You.


Matthew 11:28-30
28</sup> Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Your grace is enough.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

even though it's been so difficult
i've fallen and fallen
but i know You've never left me
Your arms surrounded me
Your right hand it upholds me
i know it in my spirit
and i feel it in my heart-
a new wind is coming.

You alone are my heart's desire.

Trust, trust in the Lord
lean not on your own understanding.
in all, all of your ways, acknowledge Him.
He'll make your paths straight.

You'll be my guide for life
i'll walk by Your side
with Your hand in mine, i'll go where You lead me.

My eyes can only see
the ground beneath my feet.
Your dreams are greater,
Your ways are higher...
oh Lord, please show me.

Oh, trust, trust in the Lord,
lean not on your own understanding.
in all, all of your ways, acknowledge Him.
He'll make your paths straight.

was just feeling so so overwhelmed today but this song i used to sing sing as a child came to my heart. trust. Lord, i'll trust in You. even though it hurts, and it's so difficult. even though i do not understand. but Lord, You're the one i love. You're the one my heart desires. You're the one i want to be with. Lord, you can have everything.. you know all things, Lord. i have nothing else to offer. i am poured out before You like water. 

You are the same God, the same heavenly Daddy i trust as a young girl. You are the same. You are still faithful. You are still the unfailing God. You are still the one that loves me most. that knows me best. that gives me grace. that carries me in Your loving arms. 
Lord, i love You. i will trust in You.  

Covered by Your grace, so free.

sometimes you'll never know how much things can actually affect you until you come face to face with them. today i had to search for a social problem at this hawker center near NP for my assignment! i ended up talking to this 70 year-old man. he told me about his lifestory. he works overtime as a cleaner to make sure his wife doesn't have to work. he doesn't want his kids to support him. and he only earns $1000plus a month. he is a little blinded in his left eye because he was a police and got into an accident when he was chasing after someone. he has been drinking for 50 over years, he tried to quit many times but he couldn't. but when i told him Jesus can heal him, Jesus can give him peace, he responded with such a child like faith. He was like "zhen de ma?" (really??) it really touched my heart.. his voice was filled with such hope and joy. it was so moving... i actually walked away crying. if you know me i was never a person who cries in movies etcetc.. but really, God is just so amazing... as long as we are willing and we believe, there's nothing that's impossible for God. let's have unstoppable faith. because God is an unstoppable God. deep inside everyone, old or young, there's a child within them. a child-like heart that God loves. the one thing that is so precious in His sight. God made us that way. and He loves us the way He made us. i love you tooo.. God bless you.. :)

I was made to be loved by You.

it doesn't matter what hapens,
because i am loved by You
and that's enough for me.

Deep. Dream.

made these roses for my mommy for mother's day!! the blue one's my favourite. :) 

and went out with this dearie today. :) haha. we both decided that we will shave bald when we go missions. so we don't have to shampoo our hair or take great care of it. just kidding about the shampoo-ing part. we are not that gross. :)

and i just really can't thank God enough for placing those people He has placed in my life! had an in-depth chat with Fayth just now! how much we've grown since... we were 7years old!! awww. love her so much :)

and i really loved today's sermon by Pst Jeremy. "our character must match up with our dream."

My dearest Daddy. :)

sometimes all we need to do is to sit in God's presence.
