Indescribable, dumb-founded, totally in awe.....what was that Lord?

Thought it was just another time.
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to pray. I didn't expect THIS...

The Lord came?
Now, I don't know how to describe this..i'll try my best :)
My bro left the cd i bought for him on my table, so I thought "well, just play it"..
I don't even know some of the songs!

1st song started..i teared. I thought, "well, just your emotions rong."
As usual, I prayed in tongues. But there was a deep cry, "God bring me back into Your presence, I want to live in Your presence."
Tongues...tongues...tongues...
Suddenly I found myself praying these words...and tears streamed down like a river.

"I do have my struggles
I do have my weaknesses
I do have my disobedience
I do have my stubborness
God i'm not worthy to be called Your child
Not worthy to be a leader in this church
Not worthy to lead Your ppl..
Could there be someone who could lead these ppl better.....
Have I destroyed their lives.."

As the song played, I sang.
"Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life.."

Cried, cried and cried. Couldn't hold back my tears.....
I realised a few days ago I haven't cried or rather wailed in His presence for so long. Till this point, I still couldn't understand what was going on.
The next song played and Don Moen said, "....a living sacrifice".
The 2 words just rang and rang and rang in my mind. Living sacrifice.
Suddenly, there was a grip. A grip in my spirit. A grip so hard I couldn't stop wailing. Wailed so hard i couldn't believe myself. What was that?!!!!

The presence of God.
I could almost say I didn't understand this phrase for quite a while.
The Lord came.. He touched me.

I prayed,
"God, MAKE me a living sacrifice. Like Sun.
I want to be a living sacrifice.
Work in me, so that I can be one.
I'll deny myself, take up the cross daily.
And follow You.
I will pay the price."

Suddenly, everything seemed possible.
This is the magnificence of the Lord I serve.

I now believe that Lord,
Your presence is upon me
Your wisdom is upon me
Your strength is upon me
Your grace is upon me
Your joy is upon me
Your peace is upon me
Your love is upon me

These are what I covet. All the days of my life.
I want the world to know,
This is the walk we can have with the one and only, true and living God.
God, can You come like this daily?

Heaven and earth will fade,
BUT HIS WORD WILL STILL REMAIN [ *thank You Lord.]
He will do something new today.
God will make a way
When there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way."

Now Lord, I can run another mile for You!

Ineffectiveness [rong, face the fight of faith!]

Is ineffectiveness setting in? [ministry, jk, studies, work, friends, family r/s]. Most importantly, have I lost the intimacy with You? It happens all the time, at least to me. When the pressure and busy-ness sets in. *I compromised my intimacy with You, have I not?

Excuses I give myself all the time:

so many things to handle,
so tiring already
I can't excel in everything, there has to be a sacrifice on something at each point.

Well, sometimes i wished someone would pull me by my collar and really give it to me. Make me come to a point of my wit's end, so i could cry out to God again and find that place of intimacy? Then again, it's another of my silly thoughts. :p

[What am I doing here?! Ought to be frantically flipping my psy notes and text since I have not started an assignment that's due tml. Praying hard I'll get my extension till friday, so I have time to think for it.]

Testimony:

God is good! With my last 2 assignments, I have already passed the assignment sector for my Psy module this sem. 1st time I had these grades! 85 and 67! Praise the Lord. =)

My Prayer:
Lord, I want to be more effective for You.
Need Your Word of wisdom
And, Your Spirit of power

My Song:
Every step i take
Is a step of faith
No weapon formed against me shall prosper

Every prayer i make
Is a prayer of faith
If my God is for me
Then who can be against me

"I put my trust in You
I put my trust in You
I put my trust in..... YOU!"
