Thank You, Lord. For Your mighty work amongst GRC. For the way You have been ministering, speaking and healing those during chapel. Sometimes, as I look at them praising You with such strength and vigour, and I look at ourselves - the team - we're not worthy to cause such a change or impact. Truly it is by Your power, Your Spirit and Your might.

      Father, as we all move towards being more professional with our music. As we look to You for more of the anointing. Guard our hearts from pride, from self-sufficiency and indifference. We don't want to be a team that looks to itself and say, "We did it!" But we want to be a team that looks to You every time we minister because without You, we can do nothing.

      Father, thank You indeed for the work You have entrusted to our team. There will be times when we make mistakes but Your love and Your grace have never once failed to show themselves in our chapel. We are blessed because You have blessed. And in turn Lord, let our talents bless others. To touch lives, to heal broken hearts, to mend wounds of past hurts... Lord, to in turn inspire future soldiers of Christ to rise up from their troubles and serve You.

      Lord, we surrender Friday chapels into Your hands. We surrender the chapel team into Your hands. We surrender the students of GRC into Your hands.

      We surrender our everything for You to be used. Change us, Oh Lord. Make us more like You.

      This is my desire, to honour You...Lord I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I live for You alone...Lord have Your way in me..."

      In Your name we pray, amen.

      It's been an interesting week. I've finally put some personal demons aside. Although the method was not conventional but at least I've gotten it off my mind, heart and spirit.

      Life gets interesting every single moment. Just when you think you can get a hold of something...things happen and throws you off balance again. Thank goodness there's God in the picture and He has never forsaken me. Sometimes I wonder if making excuses, saying sorry and shrugging off things do work that well when the actual thing we need to do is to come to terms with reality and wake up?

      My biggest worry is that people will slip through the cracks in life and never come out of them again. When I fail to convince, enlighten or encourage...the pain within is big. I feel responsible. And when faced with the reality that some people would rather slip through the cracks than see the light... I can't face it.

      Somehow being 25 gives you somewhat an insight into what will happen to those around me. Choices made today will definitely affect futures ahead. Sometimes I stick my head out and speak. Sometimes I stick my hand out to restrain. Sometimes I hold my heart out to feel. When it comes to no avail... something breaks a little within me. Do I lose hope? Do I lose perspective? The only thing I know that having been a teacher for a year and 2 months and 10 days [and still counting] that the right thing to do is to not give up. To persist even when everything else is falling into hidden nooks and crannies, invisible cracks that attempt to drag and suck as many people unawares into that chasm of darkness.

      Don't give up doing the right thing. Do YOU hear me?

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
