what's to happen?... i know only certain things about God and about the love he has for us...
such comfort..such grace...
what more can i say? what more can i do?

Angels Wish – Steven Curtis Chapman

Was God smiling when He spoke the word and made the world?
And did He cry about the flood?
What does God's voice sound like when He sings, when He's angry?
These are just a few things that the angels have on me
Well, I can't fly at least not yet
I've got no halo on my head
And I can't even start to picture heaven's beauty
But I've been shown the Savior's love
The Grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the Angels only wish they knew
I have seen the dark and desperate place where sin will take you
I've felt loneliness and shame
And I have watched the blinding light of grace
Come breaking through with a sweetness only tasted
By the forgiven and redeemed
And someday I'll sit down with my angel friends
Up in heaven
And they'll tell me about Creation
And I'll tell them a story of Grace
Well, I can't fly at least not yet
I've got no halo on my head
And I can't even start to picture heaven's beauty
But I've been shown a Savior's love
The Grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things the Angels only wish they knew

haaay...the Lord is indeed great...what a privilege to be a part of His wonderful family...hmmmmmmm....yes...indeed it is...

pagbabalik tanaw

parang kahapon lamang ang lahat ng mga nangyari...sa aking palagay, masyado na akong nabaon sa mga kaabalahan ng buhay at trabaho...isang nakakalungkot na realization...hmmmm...ano nga ba ang dapat kong gawin? kailangan bang tumigil? kailangan bang huminto? o higit na mas kailangang magpatuloy sapagkat di ko kayang iafford na tumigil...

i'd like to think this has no ending...much more a beginning...well, i guess there has to be much learning on my part...to learn to take things one at a time...to learn to be content with i have just accomplished...to learn to be still and savor the presence of God and of His love...

Be still and know that I am God...

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him...

O Lord, my God...may I learn to bring to you everything i have that hinders me to come closer to you...

sa kabila ng lahat ng ito...ayokong kalimutan ang aking pagkatao...ang aking identity...
isang awit na magpapatunay na hindi ako dapat na nag-aalinlangan...

Who am I? - Casting crowns

Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,

Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours.

Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
And watch me rise again,
Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me,

I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,
I am Yours.

mabuti na lang...

a song in my heart

last January, a song came to me...i haven't shared it to people...maybe because i just feel it's not time yet...however, i would like to post this song here...who knows, someone may be encouraged or reminded because of this...Glory be to God!!! He gave me this song...i just feel awed of the wonders of his grace...i haven't given it a title yet...

the calling, the cleansing
the choosing was yours
the act of redemption
the sacrifice, the cross

when i think of all these things you've done
i fall trembling at your feet
knowing and believing
that it all began with you

i am amazed
at the wonder of your grace
i am embraced
and to you i cast my cares
by your grace i come
in your name i stand
Lord, i bask
in the greatness of your love

in weakness, in failure
in fear and in loosing
when all seem so bleak
and the future's unseen
when my mind begins to wander
and my heart begins to doubt
Lord, your grace never gives up
you're always there to lift me up

i am amazed
at the wonder of your grace
i am embraced
and to you i cast my cares
by your grace i come
in your name i stand
Lord, i bask
in the greatness of your love

by your grace i come
in your name i stand
Lord, i bask
in the greatness of your love

this is the song that has given me affirmation of my calling...the calling i have tried to elude for as long as i can remember but have come to accept just recently...with trembling & insecurity...in a way, i feel this has to be the feeling i should have...so i don't get covered up with a sense of confidence that might drive me to a state of pride...

this is my prayer...this is my song...to learn to stand in God's presence enabled by grace...enabled by grace...
