It’s been quite a while since I last blogged…

Had got quite busy with studies.. [assignments, mid sem exams..]
But am home for a few days cos of the Rakhi holiday… will go back on Wednesday morning.

In the second week of this month, I had my mid-sem exams.. all went quite well… the results were declared last week and I passed in all the papers. Only 7 students of my class out of 60 cleared them and I am one of them

I finally got rid of my 2 year old Nokia 6600 handset. The joystick was giving me problems from June eversince my cutie niece had pressed it to the extreme…
Got the replacement, Nokia N72 hehe…. enjoying using it

Sree has got me a domain name for the blog, but I still haven’t finished with the settings.. hopefully will set the things in these days..

c y then.. and God Bless!

You Are Faithful Video

Grace — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:01:43 +0000

Watch this song and be blessed by the amazing voice of Darlene Zschech. This song is my favorite from the album Saviour King.

Here are the lyrics..

Verse1
Lord of all the earth
How You care for me
You have made me
You will save and carry me always

Chorus
You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful
Your joy is my strength

Verse2
Lord you are my God
I rely on You
I put my hope in things not seen
Your promises all true

Bridge
Always you’re with me
Your hand will lift me
My trust is in your hands

Down with fever

Grace — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 09:54:19 +0000

So.. am back home again… this time days earlier as am down with viral fever
Went to Rjn on monday morning.. everything went well that day but on tuesday morning, I was feeling rather uneasy, felt as if the temperature of my body was rising.. had Computer practicals in the 3rd and 4th periods… was unable to concentrate there and made petty errors and also answered the questions asked to me quite wrongly.

So I contacted my Guardian Teacher and came back to the hostel taking a half day leave. As soon as I came, called mum to tell her about my health.. took medications and went to sleep… I was awaken when my roommate came back from college. Drank tea and then went back to sleep.. around this time my temperature was rising quite a lot.. strange thoughts were going around in my mind… I felt as if my only rescue was to cry…. I was listening to Saviour King’s songs in the meanwhile and they touched me a lot.. they sang of the verses my mum had cited when she was praying for me on the phone. The songs… In Your Freedom, You Are Faithful, One Thing etc… helped me to regain my composition.

Afterwards I took my dinner n medicines, read a couple of chapters from my Bible and fell asleep… I awoke at around 4am to find myself sweating heavily and there wasn’t a single sensation of viral fever in me.. but as it is said good things never last… the fever started rising again.. as I could’nt take it any more, called mom and told her to come to Rjn and pick me up. She called up the college authorities and after that came to pick me in the afternoon… we reached home in the evening.. I was taken to the doctor and he has told me to take rest.

I had thought of writing this yesterday… but didn’t had enough strength to do so. Only turned on my pc to resume on the torrents… as am feeling much better today, I thought of letting you peeps know about me. I will be home till this weekend. Had never thought that I’d read HP7 in conditions like this.. but anyways… God willingly I’ll be alright till saturday, so that I can get my copy and read it.

Thanks for reading this, please pray for my health and God Bless!

Here’s My Life

Grace — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 16:57:51 +0000

The single Here’s My Life by BarlowGirl has touched me a lot… at times I cry when I am hearing it! The lyrics is so appealing and you feel that you are surrendering yourself to the Heavenly Father..

You can listen to the song at their myspace & purevolume pages.

The lyrics is as follows…

Once Again I Said My Goodbyes
To Those I Love Most
My Heart Feels That Familiar Pain
As I Long For Hope
Cause This Road Is Hard
When I Feel So Far

And God I’m Crying Out Tonight
Cause I’ve Given You My Life
But I’m Tired And I’m Missing What’s Behind
So Once More
Here’s My Life

On The Day That You Called My Name
All That I Knew Changed
I Found When I Said Yes
That I
Would Never Be The Same
Though The Call Is Hard
You Are Worth It All

God I’m Crying Out Tonight
Cause I’ve Given You My Life
But I’m Tired And I’m Missing What’s Behind
So Once More

Even When The Tears Are Falling
When I Find I Fear The Calling
You Remind Me (yeah)
Words You’ve Spoken Over My Life
Promises I’ve Yet To See
You Comfort Me (yeah eah)
