Here’s the lyrics to my favorite song off of Hymns IV. We first found this hymns because my brother asked us to play it at his wedding. It’s one of the most beautiful and honest songs I’ve heard. It’s comes from Joshua 1:9 where God says to Joshua ” Have I not commanded you? Be strong and…

Lord, I’m tired…be my Strength. Let me come to You humbly and with utmost submissive reverence. I don’t understand my own heart. My King, take reign over my passions, life, and heart. I’m so tired.

I always skipped over this song (Sun and Moon - Phil Wickham) whenever it came up in my iPod. I don’t even know why I skipped it … But today, I just decided to listen to it for once and woweee. What a beautiful song! When I listen to it, it makes me really think about God’s beauty and His romance. I’m so thankful that this song helps me to think solely about His love for me and my desire to love Him. But still, why is my heart so fickle? “God I need a miracle, take my heart and make it glow.” It really feels like I need a miracle in order to give Him all of me and my heart. So grateful and humbled to have a God that abounds in love in spite of my volatile heart.
If You are the sun, then I want to be the moon.
How romantic <3

Take Thou the full possession of my heart. Raise there Thy throne, and command There as Thou dost in heaven. Being created by Thee, let me live to Thee. Being created for Thee, let me ever act for Thy glory. Being redeemed by Thee, let me render unto Thee what is Thine, and let my soul ever cleave to Thee alone. — John Wesley
This is a prayer that my discipler (Audrey Chua) and I memorized recently. We recited it to each other this past thursday/Valentine’s Day and updated each other on a little challenge we had. Usually, memorizing things is a huge burden for me. I don’t like the idea of memorizing something and then completely forgetting it after a couple of weeks. But this prayer was unusually easy to memorize and retain. To be honest, I don’t have a full understanding of this prayer, but I’m going to keep reciting it to myself until i do.
There were so many things I learned, experienced, and was challenged by this past week. The week went by so quickly it’s almost scary. Living life with the idea of “all glory be to Christ” is so profound and disciplining. It made me really think about my devo that I’ll be leading in a couple of weeks. Am I leading it for His glory or mine? So yea, I actually wrote a LOT more for this post, but again “Am I saying this for His glory or mine…? [delete]” Haha.
I’m thankful to be home this weekend. I’m thankful for having a family to come home to. I’m thankful for God letting me get through this week safely. I’m thankful for my brothers and sisters. I’m thankful for my discipler. But without a doubt, the thing I’m MOST thankful for is the bible. It’s awesome to think that everything in the bible is inerrant and purposeful. It’s the stability and truth that are so lacking in my life. Anyways, time for breakfast with my mama!
