Glory to God in the Highest

perhaps & actually was the song of the season sometime back the coolest thing is that we're doing it soon man - resonance are doing it so it's way cool that 'glory to God' is a powerful song & i so think paradise live is a good music source too. budding music team i guess but i'm too much a novice to even predict. hahhs.
today was cool. i had lessons with anthony and he was down with fever but still continued lessons with me. too bad he cancelled on ernest! anthony actually has a heart because he told me my lesson was at 10am so cannot cancel because i would already be out already. we had a great lesson and i'm looking to learn more from that guy. beckerly grad eh. don't pray pray.
i spent time settling attendance and all. had 2 cgs today & a follow up that was pretty exciting. i did follow up in chinese and that is super duper hard. but i'm quite fluent in my chinese one eh! since young but just that when i needed it most in church it refuses to come out. nadine is getting a chinese-english bible for me & i'm going to know my scriptures in chinese so that the china people will benefit from follow up even more. this is so hard. indie to chindie? hahhs ah crap.
got home today and had alot of food. prawn cake at the night market. halal and just different from your chinese version. ramli burger. got back home and had tofu and 'you tiao' with sotong. it's quite fulfilling.
watched mike portnoy's drum video and learnt loads. it's actually quite easy eh. i don't think it's too hard to do anything :p it's all about the mind :p
alright now and i watched THE CONTENDER. to think about it, i used to have a dream of taking that fighting out when i was a childish little boy. quite cool huh. but quite dumb now.
well i have a recurring question inside my heart for the longest time. is it that hard? erm... to give glory to God? to think that we're not so good after all. that we are actually just us and a different class compared to angels and God. to run after God and God only? i don't know how to put it...
Maybe it's the place God has in your life. we all pretty much say number 1 but what really is number 1. aha.. He reign over all and sometimes even our most intimate actions demean Him of His true place. That's our God too high and big even to be described by words. even so our mouths.
He is that glorious and that big. That is the kind of God i serve man and to me there is no problem to give Him glory. Sometimes i find that i can be so so confident that i hardly think i will fail. To be confident in myself is dumb because i'm just myself, fallen, without potential. It was God that breathed into me and gave me a new potential. I know i serve a huge God so i just pretty much do all i can do in my ability. And it will not fail because i - do all i can in my ability. Since i meet that criteria, if i still fail then what's the point then?
Then having God inside of me doesn't make a difference. I try and i try to be all i can be so that things work out and God is glorified. GOD WILL SURELY BE GLORIFIED EVEN IF SOMETIMES MAN TAKES AWAY THAT CREDIT. For goodness sake he is God. He gave you that very ability to choose to take away that credit. What else can't He do.
So maybe that's why i think i'm good :p hahhs! hahhs! hahhs!
but really! why ain't you good? why ain't you treasured, amazing, beautiful, pretty, good-looking, able, capable? just do what you can & know how lowly you are. hahaha i'm just pretty much a northbrooks guy like the rest. destined for crap. no discipline, no dream just one freaky thing called basketball that haunted me daily. SO SMALL.
when you enter the holy place. there should be no other light other than the light from the candle lampstand. that 7 light that 7 spirits. so why is it so hard to give God glory? hahhs. actually the more successful you get, the harder it is. but the more you do it, the better it gets.
give Him glory & glory really comes all around you. we should just be abit simpler. sometimes thoughts should be ignored. ultimately, what you don't say speak louder then what you say.
"i know You gave the World Your only Son for us to know Your Name, to live withing the Saviour's Love, You took my place, knowing You're be crucified, You loved, You loved a people undeserving" - To Know Your Name
Beautiful Song Just so simple in expression.
