my favorite passage in the bible is psalm 51. it's a prayer of repentance, and somehow is always what i needed. it eloquently articulates that which is in my heart, and i just love it.

for this season in my life, i revisited the psalm & chose these verses.

create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

[psalm 51:10-12]

and to my utmost delight, jon foreman has also been inspired to adapt the verses into this song. *heart!*

i'm hoping to continue taking another night class the next semester. there were a number of classes available, but my options would be:

• God, revelation & man (sounds boring. lol!)
• the book of Acts (sounds tough! dowan.)
• life of Christ (sounds just like what i wanted! =)

for there were times when i was just stopped in my track by thoughts along the lines of..

"who exactly are you, Jesus? i know you are "fully man & fully God", i know of your amazing deeds & radical ideas, of the cross, death & resurrection, but i don't really know how to relate to you. you call me a friend, people call you their best friend.. what does that mean? i think i can grasp the loftier titles you hold (king of kings, prince of peace), but still, i don't know lah.

i want to know more about you who i call 'Lord'. i am ever thankful for the cross and i want to deepen my appreciation, my adoration, my love for you. so help me God."

high expectations yo! :)
