work has been insane. im working overtime every other day and im on the verge of pulling out all my hair and killing everyone around me. haha no not quite but almost.

preparation for easter has been pretty hectic. haha after every easter practice im told i need help in acting haha and i know it! its just extra stress i already highlighted very strongly right from the start i cant act for nuts heh so now i have to work doubly hard. but i really am thankful to have been given the opportunity to sing this easter. though it really is kinda hard to put myself into the shoes of camilla and sing like its breaking my heart. haha and the make-up oh man i want to cry everytime i look in the mirror haha i've gone through catty stages, fat-face stages and whatnot with the load of make-up on my face and im the guinea pig! auntie karen said so i almost died. haha but regardless, im praying for much joy ;) im so afraid im gonna forget my lines or freak out on stage so i just gotta keep praying for peace of heart and mind to sing to the best of my ability to the praise of His glory (:

had lunch with rie three times in two weeks which is rare cos we hardly see each other outside of church especially with this murderous job of mine and the odd working hours of hers. but regardless, its in times like these that i learn to appreciate all over again His gift of friends. haha one to stand with me and deal with all the strange problems together with me. we were just discussing some of the strange problems before easter concert prac yesterday and it kinda got me worried the way people around me were reacting to each other and the friction thats just increaing by the second. but when we started singing easter songs, everything just changed. Christ the Lord is ris'n today, ALLELUIA! i love that song. haha when t chen kee and i are backstage waiting to come on for the last scene, we always get super excited when it comes to the part when uncle william and kenneth shout "HE IS ALIVE!" and that really is the entire crux of our salvation. we are promised the victory that He has conquered death and nothing else on earth will ever be able to get us down, because He IS alive. ;) i love resurrection scenes. it reminds me always that the hope we have in Him is not dead, it is ALIVE- just like He is ;)

and hey, its the anniversary of my re-affirmation! yea ;) haha i was so excited last year, this year i am just as excited, cos the victory is here ;)

a verse that t chen kee shared with me when i discussed my uni choices with her was ephesians1:12 "that we who first trusted in Christ, should be to the PRAISE OF HIS GLORY." haha its become like my 2tim1:7, a verse that just sticks. to the praise of His glory. let my life be the praise, thats my prayer always (:

In the solitary moment of His birth
On this barren dusty land
All of heaven kissed the face of the earth
With a miracle of love
God became a man

But He was sent away to draw his final breath
When he was only thirty-three
And in the shame of dying a criminal's death
He cleansed an angry world
And in his suffering I see

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

I have tried to find salvation on my own
In a search for something real
There's a guilty heart inside this flesh and bone
I fall upon his grace
And I begin to feel

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

And when I close my eyes I can see Him
hanging there
Oh the precious wounded Lamb of God
And all the majesty in this world can not compare
to the glory
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

He was sent away to draw His final breath
When He was only thirty-three

i need to appreciate all over again, the depth and beauty of His sacrifice. to love others and forgive, as He did me.
