steps of God and me~

Today's roller-blading exercise was really humbling.

I was on my knees for half of the time.

and the instructor had to guide me like a child on her first steps. and it was really funny cause my knees couldn't stop stop shaking as I struggled to stay upright. and I think I kinda crushed his fingers. haha, I was like gripping so firmly to his hands to prevent myself from falling. but he was really very nice and encouraging, and he very patiently guided me for the whole second half of the practice time=)

and today was quite a humbling day in church today.

I finally realised how great our God is.

I remember on friday, I was sitting at jurong east station alone and the song, "how great is our God" came on, and I just sat there, basking in the awe of worship. we sang the song in church today. and before the service I asked Him to re-assure me of His love for me.

I have been stuggling for the past two weeks over two issues and it has been tough. I remember telling Him before that I am very assured of His love for me already. but today, I just needed to hear it from Him again.

Romans 8:35-39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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.

during our congregation prayer, He did just that. Nothing can ever separate you my child, from My love.

Lord, I have made my first step of faith towards You. You called and I doubted at first, but when You called for one step of faith during today's altar call, I gave You just that. Lord, like I told you earlier, I can't do much Lord. I need You to help me, Lord, will You take the rest of the steps and meet me where I am?

I know You will.

For You have already taken the first step. You took it when You went to the cross.

and Lord, help me to be like david. help me to see my goliaths as not problems to conquer, but promises to claim. help me to see not how big and scary my goliaths are, but how great and how mighty to save our God is.

indeed, how great is our God, sing with me how great is our God! Lord, there's no other place I'd rather be than with You, in Your house. Lord, let my life be anchored on You my Rock.

to You be all glory!
