I first heard it when I was probably in middle school. Even at that time I thought "hmm....this is a nice song". It wasn't until recently I started to appreciate even more about the message of the song. It became a constant reminder lately that God gives enough strength and enough grace to do everything He wants us to do.

On Idols
Yesterday at Friday Youth Fellowship we have discussions on idols in our hearts. At the end of discussion, we agreed that we have idols because we have emptiness in our hearts.
It somehow reminds me of a quote by St Augustine which I first heard from one of Ravi Zacharias' teaching ministry way back when I was in college:
Thou hast made us for Thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.

Work in Progress
After a loooong time since my last blog post, I finally decided to start blogging again. In contrast with my last blog I created, this one is much more humble in content. The last blog was created when I was in college: I was just moved to Berkeley, life seems to offer a lot of promising opportunities for the future.
As of now, I've been working in the same company for 2 years. While I am grateful for the job and the relationships with people at work, I feel that now it is way easier for me to drift away from God. When I was in school, I spend probably less than 20 hrs at campus and take the rest of the week to study at home. Studying at home was one of my favorite activity, I did it wholeheartedly and I know God was pleased knowing that I did it for Him. There was less noise from the world. Everything seems to be much simpler.
Now, I work 40 hrs a week. As I go home, I need to cook, to clean and to spend time for small group meetings, music practices, endless activities! And although it's been 2 years, I still haven't been able to get it right! That's why this blog is titled "Work In Progress". Though it seems to be slow, I am convinced that God has not given up on shaping me to be more like Him.
