Hold On to My God & King...

Heb 2:4-6
For every house is built by someone, but God is the BUILDER of EVERYTHING...
And we are His house, if we HOLD ON to our COURAGE & the HOPE of which we boast.

v.14
We have come to share in Christ if we HOLD FIRMLY till the end the confidence we had at first.

Heb 4:14
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us HOLD FIRMLY to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in everyway, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then APPROACH the throne of Grace with CONFIDENCE, so that we may receive Mercy & Find Grace to help us in our time of need.

Heb 6:13- 18

The promise:
"I will surely bless you and give you many descendants" (v.13)

God did this(swore by Himself & confirmed it with an oath v.13-17) so that, by two unchangeable thing in which it is impossible for God to lie, we fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It (Hope) enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.

My God and King by Terry MacAlmon (The Sound Of Heaven)

My God and King
to You alone I sing
You're the face I seek
For all eternity
You'd be my dream come true
Just to be with You
How I'd see brand new
With eyes for only You
My God and King
Through the storm I sing
Covered by Your wing
This song of love I bring
You are my dream come true
Just to be with You
Now I see brand new
With eyes for only You

Butterfly Kisses

a song that always touches my heart... used to be just a song that has touching tune, but now as i grow older & get to talk to my dad more this past year, like moving into a new season of life, i cld feel more of my dad's love for me... in ways that i used to not understand but now i do more and more...


Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle
From the album Shades of Grace

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, she talks to Jesus, and I close my
eyes.
And I thank God for all the joy in my life,
Oh, but most of all, for...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony, daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, daddy, but if you don't mind,
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time ... Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly ... Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
she asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." Then she leaned over... and gave
me...

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there sticking little flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?" "Daddy, don't cry."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more. Man, this is what love is.
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

Walk By Faith

Walk By Faith (by Out Of the Grey)
From the album Remember This

I'm gonna walk by faith, not by sight
'Cause I can't see straight in the broad daylight
I'm gonna walk by faith, not by fear
'Cause I believe in the One who brought me here

I'm standing on the edge of whatever
Whatever He has planned for me
My next step will be measured
With confidence in the unseen

Like dancing on the edge of forever
I have nothing left to lose
Flying free as a feather
A vagabond in beautiful shoes

I'm moving through this great unknown
With faith beneath my feet
I take the road invisible
But I know Jesus goes with me
Oh, I believe, I believe
Because You gave Yourself to me
And I have nothing left to fear
'Cause I see it's You who brought me here
Though the road ahead is not quite clear
Still I know the way

Climbing Up the Slide With His Hands Holding Me



was at clementi this morning to get some model materials, i went to order my favorite porridge and thinking about how difficult it was to design and the studio is on tomorrow.

while having my porridge, i was watching this father and his little boy who probably just learn how to walk not long ago came to this playground.

The little boy runs around and the father was following after him to hold him once in a while when he was not in balanced and abt to fall.

the boy loves this red slide of playground, keeps trying to climb up the slide from the bottom. obviously, it was an impossible task to defy gravity for this little kid and he keeps sliding off.

the father got hold of him and his hand, and the boy walked up the slide joyfully.

was very touched by the scene and felt God speaking to me that's how He is to me... that when i go around in life, i don't really see him in front of me all the time, but He's always watching over me fr the back, and supports me when i was abt to fall.

and when i am doing an uphill task that seems impossible to accomplish, He'll be there to support and hold me to walk up "the slide" that i need to conquer, defying the "gravity that causes me to fall off".

found this song on animation mtv - called "愛永不止息" by 張蓬潔/ "天亮了不怕" 專輯. click on this post's title to see the animation at composer's website. Inside it, the girl was so sad and was falling when love catches her...
