More than a home (1)

Our BTO flat is in the works.  There's nothing except for cranes and the plot is all barricaded.  It somehow feels strange to me that I'm seeing my home eventually in 2012, from nothing literally.

Uncreated One

Uncreated One (By Chris Tomlin) Holy Uncreated One Your beauty fills the skies But the glory of Your majesty Is the mercy in Your eyes Worthy Uncreated One From heaven to earth come down You laid aside Your royalty To wear the sinner’s crown O Great God, be glorified Our lives laid down Yours magnified O Great God, be lifted high There is none like You Jesus, Savior, God’s own Son Risen, reigning Lord Sustainer of the universe By the power of Your word Chorus: O Great God, be glorified Our lives laid down Yours magnified O Great God, be lifted high There is none like You There is none like You There is none like You When we see Your Matchless face In speechless awe we’ll stand there we’ll bow with grateful hearts Unto the great I Am O Great God, be glorified Our lives laid down Yours magnified O Great God, be lifted high There is none like You There is none... like You There is none like You

Both of these situations mean I am unable to tap into the resource that allows me to fulfill my calling in my work to the fullest. The morning time with God is much like these situations. God pours His Word into my spirit, and I am recharge...
