a StOrY aNd A sOnG (from my facebook notes)

a year ago today, there was this girl who went to see a Christian band…she likes alternative music and she had a couple of Christian co-workers who told her of Air1, which is a Christian alternative station and the band she went to see was one the bands she heard on that station

just before that, she has been very confused of who she is… and was definitely living in a way that God did not intend for her to live. someone who she thought was a really good friend decided to stop being friends with her for this reason. she ended up being really depressed and actually even went through counseling. but even that wasn’t really able to help with this void that she has in her life.

it was about this time when she asked her co-worker about going to church and her co-worker helped her find a local church. it was about 3 weeks when she started going back to church that she went to see that band and she went there, not knowing what to expect. the band has played a few songs and she was actaully trying her best to stay “tough” and not cry like a little girl when the band played this one song that finally just broke her down and that day she gave her life to God.

that was me a year ago…i realized i need God’s forgiveness and grace in my life. God has definitely done lots of work in my life since then (He’s still working on me actually =D ). He’s shown me who my true friends are and in exhange for the one friend that i lost, He’s blessed me with new ones. i know now who i am…i am a daughter of God through Jesus Christ. i know that i am loved…not just by my family and friends, but more importantly by God…and it was because of God’s love for me (and you…and you…and you…etc…) that Jesus Christ came here on earth, died on the cross and on the third day rose from the dead and is now in heaven.

my cousin posted a question that pretty much was asking if there was any “moment(s)” in life that i’d like to “rewind”…i answered her “none”…i’ll admit, there’s soooooooooooooo many things in my life that i’ve done in the past that i am not proud of…and there was a time when i wish i can turn back time. not to say that i’m not sorry doing those things, i am…and that’s why i gave my life to the Lord. i don’t want to “rewind” back to those moments though, because they’re in the past…i’ve offered them up to God already. it was also one of those “moments” that led me to realize how much i need Him in my life. i praise God for using those kinds of “moments” to bring us closer to Him and i am so thankful for His love, forgiveness and grace. i honestly don’t know where i’ll be without that…without Him in my life.

 i’m not sure if i’ve psoted this song already in one of my blogs, but i’d like to share it with you guys because it means a lot to me…

AFTER THE WORLD -Disciple-

You break the glass, try to hide your face
Recorded lines that just will not erase
And buried in your loss of innocence
You wonder if you’ll find it again

Was I there for the worst of all your pain?
And was I there when your blue sky ran away?
Was I there when the rains were flooding you off of your feet?
Those were My tears falling down for you, falling down for you

Chorus:
I’m the One that you’ve been looking for
I’m the One that you’ve been waiting for
I’ve had My eyes on you ever since you were born
I will love you after the rain falls down
I will love you after the sun goes out
I’ll have My eyes on you after the world is no more

Did I arrange the light of your first day?
Did I create the rhythm your heart makes?
Could you believe when your candle starts to fade?
I want to be the One that you believe
Could take it all away, take your heart away
(Chorus)

Isn’t My life a clear sign since I have crossed over this chasm
To fill the space between Me and you?
And I will do it all over again
Just look for Me, just wait for Me

The One you’ve been looking for
The One you’ve been waiting for
You won’t have to look anymore
(Chorus)
The One you’ve been looking for
The One you’ve been waiting for
