Music for the Soul ^^
Before I go devour the "I Heart Revolution" Hillsong United CD, I need to go share this song. It's called "Wish" by Brian Littrell. The first time I heard the song, the lyrics pierced my heart. I want to go share this with anyone reading this post because it makes you think about our Saviour and His life. ^^Wish by Brian Littrell
For just a moment
I wish I could have been there
To see Your first step, hear Your very first word
Tell me, did You ever fall and scrape Your knee?
Did You know Your wounds would one day heal the world?
For just one moment
I wish I could have seen You growing
Learning the ways of a carpenter's son
Just a little boy gazing at the stars
But You remember creating every one
If you passed by, would I have seen a child or a King?
Would I have known?
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You, face to face
Wish I could have been there
Just to see You, Jesus, face to face
For just a moment
I wish I could have been there
When You left Your footprints upon the waves
To walk along beside You and never look away
Just Your whisper and the wind and sea obey
To see You feed the people
To feel Your healing in Your touch
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You, face to face
Wish I could have been there
Just to see You, Jesus, face to face
To hear you pray in the garden alone
Laying down Your will with each tear
To see You walk that lonely road
Willing to die for me
And in that moment
I know I should have been there
You took my cross and gave Your life
And you live again, oh
And You live again!
Wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You rise again
Wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You, Jesus, face to face
Someday I'll be there, I'm gonna be there
I'll see Your face, Your mercy, Your grace
Someday, someday
I'm going to see You, Jesus
Face to face
*****
I especially like the lines "Just a little boy gazing at the stars... But You remember creating every one. If you passed by, would I have seen a child of a King? Would I have known?" Summarizing what I feel when I hear those words, it's GRABE. It makes me realize that my God also went through life, even through childhood. ^^ And those lines, "Did You ever fall and scrape Your knee? Did You know that Your wounds would one day heal the world?" My God is indeed an awesome God, and I praise Him for His immeasurable love. ^^

Twilight, David and other stuff...
It's been a month and two days - since my last post. I'm such a sporadic blogger. Haha. So, for those who are wondering what I've been up to this month, this are what happened:- I watched the 39th Anniversary concert of APO Hiking Society. It was a great performance, as usual. ^^ Their comedic timing and songs never fail to entertain me. =P
- Bought 3 Praise & Worship CDs. I can't help it. Haha. It's my new "disease" right now. This is what currently makes me poor. LOL. I love "soaking" in music dedicated to God. It's weird for me to say this, but, when I listen and I *connect* with my spirit in worshipping my Creator - it's the best feeling in the world. =P
- After months of organizing my iTunes and almost a year of wishing for an iPod nano, I finally have one! Weee... ^^
Meet David, my iPod nano. I bring him everywhere I go. ^^ And, if anyone's wondering where on earth I got such a name... I got it from King David, the man after God's own heart. ^^ His name didn't come from David Archuleta, David Cook, David Beckham or those hot Davids there. LOL. Back to iPod David - I've always told myself that if ever I got an iPod, it would contain tons of praise & worship songs. I love worshipping God, and having an iPod means I can "tune in" to God anytime I wanted to. Haha. I sound real crazy right now. I sound like a Jesus freak. LOL. Oh well, I pretty much am. My top 25 songs are all praise & worship. =P Since David came along, I've always been listening to at least 3 praise & worship songs a day.
- Adding to my previous *point*, my parents finally decided to say bye-bye to my 2-year-comatosed desktop, so they bought me a new one. Yey. I just pointed to them that 20-inch iMac, and because of 0% interest plus 24 months to pay plus me seldom asking for stuff, they bought me one, there and then! So, I'm pretty much happy with my tech life - if there's such a thing. LOL.
- I've been sidelining as a tutor in Pisay. ^^ I've always thought that teaching is the most rewarding profession, and yeah, that's true. I got to look back at how I was then when I was wrestling with second year, like my tutee. It was so hard then, but I can handle it now generally with ease. Those tough years in Pisay really paid off... =P It feels good helping people out with what you know. ^^
- I went to Dana's 18th birthday party last September 27. Dana is my best friend and my schoolmate until 3rd grade. It's so good to see her again, and it's such an honor to be one of her 18 (song) lines - I still can't understand how I managed to cry and smile while I sand and prayed for her... ^^ It was tough getting to the debut. Me and my Dad almost didn't make it because the car's driver's-side front tire got flat (as in busted, un-inflatable) due to EDSA's incredibly rocky/damaged road. Thank God He's always there. While me and my dear Father side-parked outside the Subaru showroom, a man named Reuben appeared - out of nowhere - and helped us get that busted tire replaced. So, we arrived in Dana's debut just before the program started. =P
- Lastly, the "Twilight bug got me too. After months of wondering why everybody's so hooked with it, I read it last Sunday through Monday, and I now understand why: Edward Cullen is so hot! *faints* Yes, it is so sad. I have a crush on a fictional character - again. Looky:
It's my Edward fanart. I drew it for at most, 20 minutes. Haha. I guess this is what happens when you never had a boyfriend + don't have anyone to crush on. I am a sad case. LOL. Oh well, I just wish my Edward comes one of these days. Hahaha. (P.S. I still like Li Syaoran. ^^)
