Merry Christmas!!!

its the festive holidays yet again!! every year during this time, there is a special aura of peace in the air. i always feel especially light-hearted when its nearing Christmas. loaded lots of Christmas songs onto my mp3 to get me into the mood! haha.. my fav is still hanson's silent night medley thou.

i noe to many ppl, this is jus another holiday, another day to party the night away with booze and fags. but Christmas is something else altogether for me. Jesus came down to earth on this very day 2005 years ago to save our butts. for me, it's the season of peace, the season to celebrate His grace and the season of hope.

we can also spend the up-coming holidays reflecting on the happenings and the things that we have done this past year, set goals and plan for the year ahead. i know i will be doing exactly that, minus maybe the setting goals part. i have never really believed in setting goals during the new year.

anyway, it's gonna be a pretty hectic wkend for me. lots of gatherings to attend so i prob wont be able to update this blog till after Christmas or so. in the meantime here's wishing everyone a blessed Christmas!

Enjoy the holidays! =)

the Shepherd

maybe its the christmas season around the corner.. these past few days i've been missing my Shepherd. i look back and give thanks for everything that He has provided for my entire family.

He recently pulled out a song from my memory.. i'm always touched when i hear the song..

Jars of Clay - Love Song For A Saviour

in open fields of wild flowers
she breathes the air and flies away
she thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
someday she'll understand the meaning of it all

he's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
as close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
someday she'll trust him and learn how to see him
someday he'll call her and she will come running
and fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray

i want to fall in love with you

sitting silent wearing sunday best
the sermon echoes through the walls
a great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls

he's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
as close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
someday we'll trust him and learn how to see him
someday he'll call us and we will come running
and fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray

i want to fall in love with you

it seems too easy to call you "Saviour"
not close enough to call you "God"
so as i sit and think of words i can mention
to show my devotion

i want to fall in love with you

my heart beats for you
