Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

You Are God Alone by Craig and Dean PhillipsYou are not a god Created by human hands You are not a god Dependant on any mortal man You are not a god In need of anything we can give By Your plan, that's just the way it isChorus:You are God alone From before time began You were on Your throne Your are God alone And right now In the good times and bad You are on Your throne You are God alone You're the only God Whose power none can contend You're the only God Whose name and praise will never endYou're the only God Who's worthy of everything we can give You are God And that's just the way it isBridge: Unchangeable Unshakable Unstoppable That's what You are who am i Lord, that i may behold Your beauty and majesty?I learnt this song at VCF freshmen orientation camp, during one of our worship sessions before the "sermons". the part that strikes me most, is the part that says, "in the good times and bad, You are on Your throne, You are God alone". through tough times, God still sits on His throne, God is still the one in charge and the one in control of my life; only He is God, only He knows the plans that He has for me--plans that give me a HOPE(even when situations look bleak and hopeless) and a FUTURE(even when ppl say that there is no future prospects).
"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."--psalm 139:16He knows exactly what my next step is, even before i was born. He knows, therefore i can trust in Him. He knows, thats why i can place my confidence in Him. He knows, therefore i can surrender my plans to Him.
today, i went down to the SCDF HQ for a thorough medical checkup before i can be officially enrolled to be part of the civil defence auxillary team. not to my surprise anymore, SCDF HQ is also male-dominated. my friend and i were the only females around.. we got a little bit worried about whether we could find female toilets in the building haha. it was so embarrassing when i had to tell a whole bunch of
males that i couldnt do the urine test because i was having my period. ARGH. it was even worse when they stared back blankly, wondering why i disqualified myself from urine test because of my period. UGH. how come medics do not know this? how do i explain such a thing? thankfully, the medical officer saved my day because he understood and told me to go back another day for urine test. then, it was followed by routine checkups.. blood pressure, blood glucose.. the worst was the blood test. i was poked
three times, before they were able to draw my blood for HIV test. and again, it was the medical officer who came to save my day(and my arm. haha).
we were supposed to undergo ECG as well, my friend and i freaked out because we didnt want to bare our chests to males, not even the medical officer. OH NO. wah thank God, He probably heard us screaming and panicking in our heads, just nice there was a female paramedic around to do the ECG on us. she was so pro, we didnt even need to remove our clothes nor undergarments, she knew exactly where to place the ECG electrodes without even feeling around for the intercostal spaces. just out of curiousity and finding opportunities to apply the facts i've learnt in theory, after the ECG i counted my own ribs and the postions of the electrodes. wow, it was really at the fourth intercostal space! amazing, i aspire to be like her! my dreams were "crushed" when i found out that the pre-requisite to be a full-time paramedic is that one has to be 1.6m tall. HUH! God, why didnt You make me grow taller? sigh. i guess i should be thankful already, for being able to serve as a volunteer paramedic. maybe by the time i graduate they will lower the height requirement. haha.
today was like a dream come true--i've always wanted to be either a paramedic or a doctor when i grow up. since the latter is a closed door, being able to volunteer in civil defence has given me a renewed purpose and reason for my existence. when i got my uniform, my corporal rank, my nametags.. wow. the joy is undescribable. BUT, as i ponder about it, the joy cannot be compared with the joy of being able to know my Lord Jesus Christ. like i told my OG during the VCF orientation camp, i don't know where i am headed after graduation still, but Lord, i know i can trust in Him because He knows what He is doing.
