inspiration songs

This past month, GOD managed to make me learn about many other stuffs. These ones are from songs. The first song is from lanae hale, called back and forth; go look for it in itunes. Here is part of the lyrics from the song that made me think;

‘…Back and forth, the waves keep crashing
Hold on, my head, I keep on sinking
I need your hand to steady me
To bring your peace to this storm…’

The song first made me think about the race that I did last may in florida; especially on the swim. That is exactly how I felt. I kept on sinking in the swim portion of the race, that I need somebody, and/or something to steady me. but then, after thinking about it even more; I realized that most of the time, we, as a human being, are like that. We always need God to steady us; just like the disciples when they were with JC in the boat when they cross the river. There was storm. They were scared that they would drown and die; that they woke JC up. And, as soon as JC ‘yelled’ at the storm; the wind and the storm died down and everything just became calm. this lead us to a must to cling to HIM even more. and, that’s what the other song about. It is from tim hughes, (feat. Brooke fraser), called clinging to the cross. Here are some of the lyrics;

‘…Simply to the cross i cling
Letting go of all earthly things
Clinging to the cross
Mercy’s found a way for me
Hope is here as i am free
Jesus, You are all i need
Clinging to the cross…’

We, as human beings, created by GOD , definitely need to cling more to the cross. To HIM. It’s not easy and it probably won’t; but yet, with HIM, everything is bearable and nothing is impossible.

sigh...whew.....

Life is indeed always interesting. Lots of things had happened in the past month, that made me not even got a chance to write here. It’s work, training, and racing. But for the most, it’s work, work, work and stuck, stuck, stuck at the office. So far, so good. Even, at work, there are things that I was able to learn. Dealing with people, taking care of things, etc. but, one of the most unexpected things, well…..at least for me, is that I suddenly feel that GOD wants me to learn more about more patience. Sigh…..oh well…..i am HIS creation. He is the one that knows everything about me. about what I need and not need.

My friend managed to make me talk about those things. I am really glad that I have a friend like that person. Thanx a bunch………thank GOD for u…………

This past week, as I was talking to my friend and thinking about what that friend said about certain thing, I realized about something. A lot of people said when they are in certain situation, ‘…oh, I can just feel God in the background on the things that I’m doing…’ I, personally, do not agree with that. I always thought God is always in front of us. God is not the background, we are. As HIS creation, we are the background of HIS masterpiece. He is always in front of us, paving the way for us. Taking care of things for us. Is it automatic? Yes and no. this is the part, where we, as HIS creation need to pray; talk to HIM.
This is probably the same understanding that people thought of about the bumper sticker, ‘…Jesus is my co-pilot…’ really? I thought JC should be the pilot. We are the co-pilot. When we gave our live to HIM, He should be in control, not us. This is why I think a lot of people struggle to surrender. Because they thought it’s their life. Yes, we should take care of it, but yet it’s not ours. It is HIS.
