Last December 2010, my friend Gen and i started to send songs to each other. Actually, it was last year when Gen and I started to have conversations about Him. I think it was really because of our Logic Professor's influence. It all started with Do you read the bible? :) The rest is history.
I remember the little me, I can remember in details that when I graduated in Elementary, aside from having a Silver Medal, I was also awarded best in religion. :) I think it all started when I was young. I was born in Middle East Country with Filipino parents who are Roman Catholics. I cannot say that they are very religious but they have strong faith.
My faith became stronger because of my aunt too. My family has great influence with my love for Him. My kuya and I are attentive during mass and it excites us whenever we're the ones who will offer during the offertory. At an early age, they taught us how to behave whenever we're in church.
When you're growing up there are times that your faith is shattered. I am just thankful that they pushed (haha) me to enroll in a Catholic School (CSA-Biñan) that time. I really wanted to go to CASA because its the sister school of Montessori and that's where my friends are going (but something happened blah blah blah! anyway, Thank God I went to CSA).
When I entered college, all the values i learned in CSA where treasured in my heart until now. But, I am growing up. The harder the challenges are, the more times I question Him. Its hard to have a stronger faith when you feel that everything's falling apart. Still, I believed in Him. And that belief taught me how to hold on. Taught me things that I thought I would never learn.
Whenever I have unanswered questions, I always end up praying. I pray until the doubts would go away. When I started to read the bible again, I end up crying because I'm reading a verse that feels like He's talking to me. It always bring me to tears whenever I call up to Him and ends up that He is touching my heart to heal the scars.
If only more people would listen through their heart, if only they would just open it for Him... then life would be lighter.
I'm just thankful for this songs that my friends are recommending me, Jeff and Gen. Thank You:)) Its funny because I also recommend it to my other friends.
Me, years ago
(DEAR GOD Fm Static)
I've tried everything I thought might help me understand things
And it didn't tell me anything or even play my heart strings
So I'm writing You this letter to wait for Your reply
'Cause I am so tired of not believing I'll give You a try
(I think God can explain)
It's all right, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain,
Me, whenever I have questions
Heart of Worship
When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
Me, (recommended by Gen :) My love song for Him
Enough Chris Tomlin
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
And my LSS for I don't know until when (thanks Jeff),
ALL FOR LOVE ♥ Hillsong United
"FOR HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I BROKEN YOUR HEART, STILL YOU FORGIVE ME"
--brings me to tears. THANK YOU.
