Forgetting and looking forward..

So today was a totally busy day, from 10-2 and 5-7.30 rehearsals for the most awaited JC SOIREE!! xD i must admit, today we had such a blast!! but now... i'm totally dead lol and i'm planning on studying physics / chemistry for my tests on thurs and fri oh the joy xD so guys book now!! it's this weekend, so get kicking :P :D

so yes... back to the title...

I've opened my bible and Isaiah 43: 18-19 came up:

And the Lord says:
"Forget what happened before,
and do not think about the past.
Look at the new thing I am going to do
It is already happening. Don't you see it?
I will make a road in the desert
and rivers in the dry land"

so God's actually telling us not to worry what things we failed to do, what troubles we've gone through, and start looking ahead of us with faith. School's getting tough, and studying just gets even more vital.. and to be honest, last week i wasn't that pleased with my marks.. i know i should have studied harder, and the tests coming up this week are getting to me... but i don't want fear to block my faith in God, in any circumstance, be it school or people or situations and stuff. so what i'm trying to say is don't get stuck to the bad memories or fears of the past, but let God help you get through them. Let God lead you to His promises... you might be saying that you haven't seen anything change... but hold your horses, have patience. God's timing is not our timing, His ways are not ours. but then who sees the whole picture? isn't it the mighty God? :)

don't forget...
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" (Philippians 4: 13)

don't lose faith, God's already working in your lives! just let Him enter deep and do His job :) He makes all things new! (Rev 21: 5)

ive just found a song of Matt Redman, Tim Hughes and Joel Houston called King of Wonders, and i'd like you to listen to it :) it's beautiful! so go on the link: http://musicremedy.com/c/Compassionart/videos/King_Of_Wonders-28316.html and click on "download"

one verse which really hit me is:

"King of Wonders, You know the way to our hearts.
The more we see, the more we love You".

Sometimes we might get stuck to a place, where we're suited with our love for God.. and this applies to me too.. but this weekend i realised that i need to thirst more for God, cause love can't just be static, love grows cause it's alive! so our thirst grows as we encounter Him more frequently.. and it's just Him who really knows our hearts, who knows what's totally us and just us. Having a couple of people close at heart is one of the most important factors in our life, but then no one can take His place.. at the end of the day it's Him who has the ability to reach out to our hearts and patch them up together.. only He can really make you whole.

take care friends!
keep close to the One who loves you the most ^^
