Started my year not so right.

I haven't taken any time to blog about anything in particular. My last entry was in 2009 and so much has happened on the first quarter of 2010. I started my year not so right, doing things that are really against the will of God. My habitual sins has once again managed to overtake me. The enemy must have been rejoicing with my downfall. To make matters worst, i am conscious that what i did was wrong. My incomprehensible self-centered attitude and lacking in humility adds to my long list of a-must-transformed addictions. The once soulful me is now trying to find one. I am in desperate need of God's help, though i know i have made vows and promises to live a life worthy of His name yet i constantly and consistently defy His word. The life i live now is in contrast to what the Lord has commanded me. What have i done to God's love and grace?

Strong Enough by Stacie Orrico

(sharing this beautiful song----and remembering Job's ordeals and how God has been faithful to Him; His love, power and grace! I am so excited on what God has for me..and that i may overcome this battle like an Eagle soaring high in the sky... God is often more concerned about our response to the problem than He is in removing the problem. Psalm 25:15 " My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only He will release my feet from the snare".)




Strong Enough


As I rest against this cold hard wall, will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun


Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again


Will my weakness fall and and now make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?


Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?


Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again


He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance, is where I'm finally found


That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again

Almost Lover

(I hope I could sing this song SOON.. and I am looking forward to that day… that the wounds has been healed, only scars are visible..the battle has been won.. yeba!) God is faithful… He won’t give me what I can’t bear..mushy!!!



Almost Lover
(A Fine Frenzy)

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never let forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

"My heart sings praises"

God's unfailing love and faithfulness never fails to enfold me.

My heart sings praises
Each time I say Your name
This love is deeper
Than simple words can say
You go before me
You make a perfect way
My one desire
Is to give You perfect praise

In my heart
You are the power
In my night
Never failing light
With every breath that I take
I'll declare the things You've done
In my mind
Mighty Overcomer
In my soul
The reason why
In my life
You are the fire that calls me on

Too tempting to ignore!

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
1 Corinthians 10:13

Lord, if it is not your will please take away these feelings I am having right now. Help me to guard my heart, my mind and my actions so as not to cause other people to stumble or be a source of pain to them. Help me to be strong enough to resist this temptation and instead focus on the things that would glorify You alone.

You alone knows what is inside my heart and may Your almighty hand cleansed me from unrighteousness and impure thoughts.

Thank You Lord

This song best descirbes how i feel for what the Lord has done in my 24 years of existence. His steadfast love and grace continuous to enfold me.

Lyrics - Thank You Lord


I come before you today
And there's just one thing that I want to say
Thank you lord
Thank you lord
For all you've given to me
For all the blessings that I cannot see
Thank you lord
Thank you lord

**With a grateful heart
With a song of praise
With an outstretch arm
I will bless your name
Thank you lord
I just wanna thank you lord
Thank you lord
I just wanna thank you lord
Thank you lord

For all you've done in my life
You took my darkness and gave me your light
Thank you lord
Thank you lord
You took my sin and my shame
You took my sickness and healed all my pain
Thank you lord
Thank you lord

Coming Soon...
