i was feeling disappointed about how badly i was doing in general and was telling Jesus how sorry I was for being so weak and failing over and over again..then this song came on the radio…
you’ll always be a part of me
i’m part of you and definitely
girl don’t you know you can’t escape me?
oh darling coz you’ll always be my baby
and we’ll linger on
time can’t erase a feeling this strong
no way you’re never gonna shake me
oh darling coz you’ll always be my baby…
His love endures forever!
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

you gave me a reason for my being
and i love what i’m feeling
you gave me new meaning to my life
yes i’ve gone beyond existing
and it all began
when i met you.

sorrows like sea billows June 16, 2008

Horatio Spafford was a successful lawyer who lost his only son right before he was financially ruined by the Great Chicago Fire. Some years later, he planned to travel with his wife and four daughters to Europe, but he sent his family ahead and promised to follow because of some last-minute business. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship collided with another ship and sank rapidly. His wife sent him an achingly short telegram: “Saved Alone.”
Shortly after, while traveling on his way to be with his grieving wife, Spafford wrote this hymn as he sailed past the sea where his daughters died.
It Is Well With My Soul
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
To go through one tragedy after another..and to be grateful and sing that everything is well with your soul..that is a kind of peace that transcends all understanding.

the top 5 questions university students ask about Christianity June 9, 2008
Posted by banne in top 5 questions of university students.add a comment
i am listening to a talk by ravi zacarias and dr. william craig on the top five questions college students ask about Christianity:
- what is the meaning of life?
- how can we know that the Christian God even exists?
- how can the Christian God, who is claimed to be all-good and all-powerful, allow there to be evil in the world?
- how can we know that Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead is really a historical fact and not simply a legend?
- given that there are many people of other philosophies and religions and world views that are good people and yet they have not put their exclusive faith in Jesus Christ, how is it fair that those people are not saved?
very intriguing questions….and the answers are as compelling. it’s important for every christian to find out what the truth is and give a reason for their hope. i’ll be posting my notes on the answers as i finish each topic. or you can listen to the discussions here.
happy working app :) May 1, 2008

How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.

i first heard this poem during service and it bought tears to my eyes. you’ll understand why after you read about the poet’s life.
HE GIVETH MORE GRACE
annie johnson flint
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure;
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.
