I write because I read. I read because I write.
Your love is a flood and I’m
Caught in the current of Your living waters
It’s Your love, it’s Your love
Your presence is a flood
And I’m caught in the wonder
You have taken me over
You have won my heart
Citipointe Live, Into the Deep
I’ll be revealing a book news soon!
❤
This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides
This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
Last week was hellish at work. The coming weeks might be worst because the major event will happen on December 13th. But as this song says, may it be a hellish or heavenly, I will still choose to sing, to worship the good good God who blessed me in ways I will never be able to fathom.
Life surely knows how to knock us down. But my dear, come back stronger. Stand up. Stand tall. We can do this! ❤

Join us?
The clouds will rain
The seasons change
(Cause You told them to)
The sun will shine
Your burning light
(Cause You told it to)
When You speak your words through my soul
So I know it’s true
You’re in control
In control
In control
The stars in the sky will hang there
’til You tell them to
The faith in my heart will still sing
Of what Your love can do
And even when life weighs heavy on me
I know You’re in control
And You’re all I need
The stars in the sky will hang there
’til You tell them to
Last week was a major life-turning week for me. I was badly sick, physically, emotionally. It is a turmoil. A catastrophic week.
But as I regain my health, now comes the agony, the fear. If the decision I made was right. I was brave when I said the final goodbye, but now I am afraid of the pain that will come with the coming days.
But then, He is in control. He holds the stars. He controls the moon and the sun. He is enough to comfort my weary heart. He is enough. ❤

Join us?All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

There are days when I feel like a filth. Filth of sin. Filth of envy. Filth of hate. But then, He made me wonderfully. Most of all, despite my filth, He embraces me willingly, lovingly. Is there more than I can ask for? None, anymore. ❤

Join us?
For Your glory
I will do anything
Just to see You
To behold You as my King
I wanna be where You are
I gotta be where You are
I wanna be where You are
I gotta be where You are

When life is hard, when your mind and heart is tired, it is comforting to know that there is someone GREAT who loves us more than most. And HIS presence is enough to calm me down. Shed my tears. Brush off the wounds. And stand again. ❤
P.S. This is also the song I picked because I will be singing here in our church this Sunday. 🙂
—
Join us? 🙂The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You, oh yeah
So I’ll let my words be few, hey
Jesus, I am so in love with You
And I’ll stand in awe of You, Jesus
Yes, I’ll stand in awe of You
And I’ll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

As a reading writer, words mean a lot to me. I am literally breathing words in and out, almost every second. This song’s title, Let My Words Be Few struck me.
Because indeed, no words will ever be enough to thank, to honor, to praise my and our Creator. ❤
—
Is there somebody
who’ll be willing to save
my soul, my heart, me.
They say I
only feel
the love I like,
they don’t know I’m
slowly fading
dying, drifting away.

Surely as the sun will rise
You’ll come to us
Certain as the dawn appears
You’ll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us
Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You’ll come, You’ll come

“Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.”
― E.Y. Harburg
To my greatest delight, Laduchessederat‘s topic for The Great Book of Lists for this week is… MUSIC! ❤
And you all know that aside from quotes and books, I am surely obsessed with songs, too! 😀
What music is so intertwined with your life and personality that you can play it in your head without actually hearing it ? What musical pieces remind you of a particular time in your life like it was yesterday ?
So let the musical throwback begins… ❤ ❤ ❤
Sa Ugoy ng Duyan by Lea Salonga
The song Nanay (mother) used to sing for me. ❤
I sang this during my Kindergarten diploma and it is still stuck on me! 😀
Cats and Mouse by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
This was a huge hit during that time! 😀
‘He’ asked me to sing it to him, and with the aid of a song-hits, I did. (Those were the days! :D)
A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton
Yeps. A videoke-must!
If You’re Not The One – Daniel Bedingfield
Our theme song, it is. ❤
Even When It Hurts by Hillsong United
Even when my strength is lost
I’ll praise You
Even when I have no song
I’ll praise You
Even when it’s hard to find the words
Louder then I’ll sing Your praise

Chapter 2.3 – The Soundtrack of Your Life
Thank you for bringing back good old memories, Laduchessederat! ❤
P.S.
What is your life’s playlist?
Share it with me!
❤
~
You don’t know me, but
I’ve been waiting all my life
only for your love.
Bones’re screaming,
hopeless heart kept denying,
fear might be winning.
Yet, darling, I know
I was made for loving you.
So stay, don’t go.
