I believe dreams are foundational to how God has designed our lives.
The ability to dream is the ability to create. Engineered in our DNA.
Why we are humans and not just animals.
Dreams do come true. Dreams need feet. Dreams go through seasons.
Of failure. Of longing. Of streamlining. Of pain. Of birthpangs.
The people who really made an impact are the people who dared to dream.
And perservered to add feet to their lofty dreams.
To hold fast amidst the winds of brokeness, rejection, doubt, pain and ridicule.
Funny how we only reward people only when they 'made it' and not when they start.
I think Singaporeans need to dream. Need to dream big.
Because God has designed us to be a BIG BLESSING to nations. Wow.
If He has big dreams, why do we live in our cocoon of condos, comfort, compromise, contempt and cynicism?
Dream. Dream. Dream. Be free to dream.
They do come true. I'm living mine.

Getting life in order
Its funny how packing my room gives me a sense of order.
When life seems out of control. When you don't seem to get things in order. When life gets messy. When life seems just too much.
Yeah.
Singing too. Singing that God is the God of wonders beyond our galaxy. He is Holy. Holy. The universe declares His majesty. He is Holy, Holy. God of heaven and earth. Brings order. Because He holds it all. Not me.
Yeah.
Guess we are imperfect. Life is imperfect. There will never be a time where we get it all together. Life changes all the time. We are transiting all the time. We are moving on all the time. The consolation? I'm doing it better. Day by day. Step by step. Firmer in Him. Closer to Him. Walking into my destiny. Fulfilling dreams and desires.
Why be enough all the time? Why try so hard to be perfect? Why do we need to win all the time? We can never be. We can never. On this earth.
Well. I suppose we put the important things in place. The rest will follow. Love. Love. Love. Love God. Love people. I love Sam from "I am Sam". He knows the most important thing. Love.
Glad Pfeiffer in that movie had begun to get things together - loving Willie, her kid.
My room IS getting neater. My systems are getting more efficient. I am doing the things I dreamed of doing for years. There may be still many. But I'm getting there. Surer. Sooner.
But... more so... I love more. I understand what Love is more each day. I love Daddy God. And I know He loves me. I feel His love for other people. I love them too. Love... the most important thing you can have. The most important thing you can give.

Dreams are made to come true
Too many people dare not pursue their dreams.
Too many people dare not take that risk.
I'm glad I did. I'm glad I am.
God gives dreams to give an indication of His plans and purposes for us. So why stop dreaming?
Dreams are free. But of course there is a price to build the foundations to the sand castles. Why not?
And dreams with God are only the dreams worth pursuing. Having lots of money is a good dream. But it is empty unless God is in there. Having lots of businesses is a good drea,. But it is empty unless God is in there. My dreams are from God, for God, and accomplished with God. No other alternatives.
I soar. I live. I dream. I bless.
Testimony of His Love
I'm looking for a rainbow,
somewhere in the sky
Wishing for a shooting star,
just for you and I
I dream of pretty flowers,
a garden of my own
A place where I could find my dreams,
a place to call my home.
I'm waiting for a miracle,
a reason to believe
Searching for an answer,
a destiny for me
I hope for rain and sunshine
and laughter all the time
I pray that God would colour
this empty world of mine.
Bridge:
If only to Him you'd turn your eyes
You'd find the faith to realize
Chorus:
For He is my life. He is my soul
I know that God is in control
No matter what the world may be
He's there for you and me
For He is my life. He is my soul
I know that God is in control
'Cos all that He does
Is a testimony
Of His love

Feel so weak.
Feel so lousy.
Am I able to wear the big size shoes Daddy God wants me to?
The challenges that lie ahead, seems big.
Yet I know Daddy is here. I'm gonna trust the restrains that He places. And fully enjoy the roller coaster ride with Him. Hands in the air. Screaming in fun.
I'm beautiful. I shine. Through His eyes
I am His sunshine, when skies are grey.
I reflect His glory because I am His.
My destiny is in Him. No one can take it away.
Nobody else can fulfill that but me.
I live my life - through His eyes. I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Through His Eyes
When God is in your heart
Reflecting all that He sees
He'll remind you that He's there for you
To be all you can be
He is the truth and light
He will take away your fears
With His strength, all your weaknesses
will truly disappear
Chorus
When you look
in the mirror of His heart
You will see
just how special you are
For you'll find beauty,
And glory. His destiny
He will show you
His purpose to be
more than you can be
He will give you wings
And you'll soar to the sky
If only you can see your life
Through His eyes
Feel so lousy.

Father God's endless love
Fragmented hearts yearning for wholeness. We look left, we look right yet its all found in Jesus. What we want - endless love, revelatory knowledge, help in times of need is found in the omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient God. Who else can take His place?
Father God... so dear... so loving... so close... only wants the best for us...
Father God... never fails... never leaves... never abandons...
Father God... always here. Always awake. Always loves.
The Father's Hand
Verse 1
In your despair and deepest sorrow
When you are standing
in the midst of pain's sharp arrows
You carry on to face tomorrow's failing light
It is love that will see you through the night
When there is doubt and fierce uncertainty
And there is darkness all around,
you can't see where to go
You struggle on and find there is no end in sight
It is faith that will see you through the night
Chorus
He knows your pain. He'll never let you go
He gently holds your precious soul
He lifts you high and in His love you'll stand
Because you're holding the Father's Hand
Verse 2
You cry to God when you are overwhelmed
He'll lead you to a rock
that's higher than where you'll ever be
You battle on to face the journey's darkest fight
It is love that will see you through the night
When troubles come and courage fades away
When you are sinking
in the midst of life's stormy seas
You triumph on and find within a hope so bright
It is faith that has seen you through the night
Chorus
He lifts you up He wants to let you know
He gently holds your precious soul
He lifts you high and in His love you'll stand
Because you're holding the Father's Hand
Father God... so dear... so loving... so close... only wants the best for us...
Father God... never fails... never leaves... never abandons...
Father God... always here. Always awake. Always loves.
