You are more

Was just doing my quiet time and listening to random Christian songs that was playing on my iTunes. This song "you are more" by Tenth Avenue North came on. This song was introduced to me a long time ago... A very beloved sister of mine told me to listen to this song when i wasnt a Christian back then. I didnt know the meaning of the lyrics.. Well, I hardly even knew anything about Christianity anyway. There goes the lyrics..

 There's a girl in the corner
 With tear stains on her eyes
 From the places she's wandered
 And the shame she can't hide
 She says, "How did I get here? I'm not who I once was.
 And I'm crippled by the fear
 That I've fallen too far to love"
 But don't you know who you are,
 What's been done for you?
 Yeah don't you know who you are?
 You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
 You are more than the problems you create,
 You've been remade.

 Well she tries to believe it
 That she's been given new life
 But she can't shake the feeling
 That it's not true tonight
 She knows all the answers
 And she's rehearsed all the lines
 And so she'll try to do better
 But then she's too weak to try
 But don't you know who you are?
 You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
 You are more than the problems you create,
 You've been remade.
 You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
 You are more than the problems you create,
 You've been remade.

 'Cause this is not about what you've done, But what's been done for you.
 This is not about where you've been,
 But where your brokenness brings you to
 This is not about what you feel,
 But what He felt to forgive you,
 And what He felt to make you loved.
 You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
 You are more than the problems you create,
 You've been remade.
 You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create,
 You've been remade.
 You've been remade
 You've been remade.
 You've been remade.
 You've been remade. 

 Previously, the chorus "You are more than the choices that you've made" only struck my mind. Now, listening to it again on repeat, realising Jesus gave up so much just for us. To be remade, and to be made whole again. The songs goes on and on about God renewing and he remade us again and again. Through those thick and thin, God has ALWAYS been there. He was always there to meet me, to catch me.

It's true, I have been remade.

New year resolution.

Holla! Happy 2013! By God's grace, We all survived 2012!

So, as usual. Any new year's resolution? I cant think of any actually... Especially things/people that I have to commit to. But Ben texted me, "by God's strength and my support, I'm sure you wouldnt be disappointed by the end of 2013! Okay, lets start the list now.

1. I yearn for more and more of God everyday. Pursuing God everyday, receiving new revelations everyday.

That's my main priority actually.

2. Less of me, more of God

3. Still in a godly relationship with Ben. ^^

4. Maintaining my grades...

5. Step up into leadership in church.

6. More friends in uni!

7. Take care of myself! and do not get sick that often. cause there is no one to take care of me :((

8. Keeping my apartment clean (at all times)

Are these counted as New Year Resolutions?

Happy 2013!

Love,

Amanda

will update more of my recent revelations soon. I'm sick by the way. Pray for me. xx
