no other love competes, no rival throne survives, and i serve only You.

and i think the acoustic is wonderfully soothing. somehow it just touches something inside of me whenever i heard it, and you feel like the world can come to a peaceful standstill. it just captures my heart ya.
and dear evelyn can play it like a pro :) and she can play the violin too! isn't that just So romantic? hahahaha

music from the guitar gives me the same feeling as root beer float, just 100% bliss. x)

and when evelyn plays More Than Words on her guitar (which is more complicated to learn, i think), its just HEAVENLY. goshhhhh. hahahaha

and it makes me happy :)

i love the song, and i love the guitar, and i love the player xD



ok. haha i didn't know why i suddenly touched on such a random topic man.

but today has been a blissful day i think. for one, there's suddenly just so much hope.

hope promised from God :)

yeah :) and all the emo-ness from yesterday is gone. well the problems don't just dissappear, but God has promised strength for every hurdle we have to cross. and this year i want to claim the victory he has promised for everyone in him.

praypraypray, is what we have to do, to guard our hearts against the enemy who constantly wants us to feel how unworthy we are as christians whenever we fail God.
"what kind of a christian are you?" "you're a fake christian" are some of the things non christians would think or say that may make us feel unworthy, or feel exactly like a failure, failing God.

but we are already assured of a new identity, a new purpose in Jesus because he died for us. his death eradicates this feeling of unworthiness once we understand that it is precisely because we are fallen beings that he died for our sins, to wipe away our feelings of unworthiness. and because of this we have nothing to be ashamed about, we are to rise up and continue to shine for him, and continue to perservere even when we fail. and there are bound to be failures in our lives, wrong decisions we make, shadows of our past..

and it starts with praying and building a relationship with him day by day, step by step - a little step at a time. (:

so basically this was what i understood of today's sermon, i thought it was good :)

oh, and on the subject of failing. well halfway through the sermon the dove advertisement was refered to, and hannah told me how this teenage girl she was sitting opposite from on the bus cried when the dove advertisement song played. and the worst thing was how you know the adverts would always replay... and the girl would tear everytime, smudging her mascara and all..

the song goes something like (if im not wrong):
i see your true colours, shining through
i see your true colours, so don't be afraid
to let them show
you're beautiful, like a red rose


sigh. wish i was there to give that girl a hug or something.
i know that feeling sucks lots.
