I just love this song and have been listening to it more and more lately.
on fire by switchfoot (beautiful letdown)
They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
Theres so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see.. Yeah
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You) Ah-yeah
What everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
When I'm on fire (fire)
When You're near me
I'm on fire (fire)
When You speak
And I'm on fire (fire)
Burning at these mysteries
these mysteries...
Mysteries... Mysteries...
(Your on fire, [x3]) I'm standing on the edge of me [x4]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
and I've been standing on the edge of me,
I'm standing on the edge.
And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
..Yea.. I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries...
these mysteries(2x),
yeah your mystery, your mystery
Behind the Song:
"Daniel Heavenward, a friend of mine from Canada, came out to California and stayed at my place for a day. We went out for pizza, wrote a couple Remy Zero-ish songs, and called it a night. In the morning, about an hour before I was going to drop him off at the train station, this song flew out. We threw it down, I burned a CD for Dan and we raced to the station. This song is so personal- it feels great to play live. On a good night, I feel like I can just throw myself into this song and drift off over the crowd through the PA." - Jon Foreman (Switchfoot)
I'll post about my weekend some other time

kingdom knights
There's one thing about having nothing to do, you get to a point where you can think and experience alot of things, step back and see things a little differently. There have been some of those happening lately. I must confess i've not been in a spiritual high lately, and its my fault. Been really lazy, crazy and certainly not busy but somehow God has found ways to get to me.
Today we had the prayer meeting in inti and basically we were praying against controlling spirits in the college, it was warfare, was really loud and powerful. Then i remembered Ephesians 6 from 10.
The whole armour of God
A final word: Be strong in with the Lord's mighty power. {I've been hearing variations of these lately}. Put on all of God's armour so that you will be able to stand firm against ALL strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. {Basically the devil hates your guts if you're a christian; I am an enemy of satan}
Use every piece of God's armour to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armour of righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared.
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all christians everywhere. {Emphasis mine}
The word of God is so refreshing, but as i look at this and compare my life, alot of these element are either missing or not fully utilised and i dont like that. This also reminds me of knights because every aspect of a knights suit is described here. Kind of like this guy standing in the picture.
The picture helps me evaluate myself if any part of the armour is lacking, or need to be fixed or something. And finally i would like to close with a quote i found on someone's blog

I dont watch american idol alot but today i decided to sit down and see whats going on. They're down to three, the perky sanjaya is out and the women seems more likely to win another one.
On this show they got some help from barry gibb one of the beegees and although i like most of the Beegees songs i like the way blake took dancing with his beatbox thing going.
Update

my mothers' day
Just called my mom, see how she's doing on this mothers' day and it was so good to hear her voice, still quite strong, still very cheerful it blesses my heart just to know she's ok. Thank God my sister smsd to remind me its mothers day. I know someone is still angry with me because i forgot her birthday.
Its not easy being the first child, there's alot of responsibility and sometimes it can get overwhelming. But i believe there's nothing that is impossible, i believe in small beginnings and i believe there's a God who's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I believe He will supply ALL my needs according to His riches in glory and whatever i lay my hands to do shall prosper because you know what God is faithful and thats one thing that will ALWAYS be constant in all our lives.
Spent part of the evening cutting down some of the trees around the house with moyin. My landlady suddenly appeared and gave us work to do. She's a nice lady la and i feel she's quite lonely so she numbs out by occupying herself with alot of activities. I always feel like i want to help her in some way. Her children are all over the world and she lives all alone, being a widow and all.
After all the work she invited me to have dinner at her house. If its food i'm there especially as i was feeling too lazy to go to an atm so i can buy some food. Her house is full of flowers and documents; letters, bills, the works almost like a warehouse for storing old papers. Everywhere is stuffed with stuff, even the fridge is full of foodstuff. But it was good. We had chicken rice with alot of chicken. Apperently like me, she likes meat :D
Like pastor was sharing today about the acts of different ones in bethany, i was just reminded of alot of things and by God's grace everyday we grow to become more like Him in everyway. And indeed we can serve God and others in little ways like just being a listening ear or a safe place where friends can come and not feel threatened or intimidated. I was really blessed today.
