i absolutely love this (:

i just loveeeeeeeeeeee a capella! haha. sang this yesterday with a few others, along with true colors (joy! its a different arrangement from the reso one but its nice still!) (: today has left me with many many things to be thankful for. like i reached the high A at choir today!!! woohoooo!!! hahahha im quite happy about that hurhur.

i got a really nice surprise when i got home today, cos i received a really pretty postcard handmade by jing with a lovely photo and huge words that said 'CHAEL I MISS YOU' hahahahhaa (: thank you. i send you my love!

well this morning as i had my breakfast, i read Proverbs 2. and i began to see it in a new light (so thankful, another thing ive been praying about!)

v1 - we cant just read God's Word. we have to receive His Words, and treasure His commands in our hearts.
v2 - and when we do this, we cannot stop there. we must continue to incline ours ear to wisdom and apply our hearts to understanding.
v3 - it doesnt just stop there. you must cry out for discernment, you must lift up your voice for understanding!
v4 - that's not it. you must seek wisdom as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures.

v5 - after you do all of the above, THEN you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

wow. it just amazed me - look at what we must do. we cannot simply open the Word of God and expect things to stand out to us. we must do a whole lot of receiving and seeking and inclining our ears and crying out! i stand rebuked as i read all of this, for oftentimes i dont seek Him as i shd. but as i venture into each day of my life, im finding the Lord revealing more and more of Himself to me. my insecurities and my fears fade away and i am complete in Him. i need no one, i need no thing to define me. just Him, and me.

God is so good!
