Most of the time, we wake up each day having a carrying song in our head. I'm pretty sure I've heard this term during one of the preachings in our church. Other people would call it as LSS, or Last Song Syndrome. It's irritating to the commuters out here in which we sometimes arrive to our point of destination singing or humming the songs that we recently heard while we were in the jeepneys, FX, or taxi. Songs that are exclusively aired on not-so-cool stations, based on GenX creatures.
But in my case, I'm glad that the Lord has always put songs that are pleasing to Him. Not that I'm braggin, though. Sure, i also hum or sing a few lines of the songs that we hear on FM stations, but i'm pretty surprised that it doesn't last that long during the course of the day. God is always putting songs in my heart that would strengthen me, encourage me through tough times, or simply praise His awesome power and majesty. Especially if i'm worship leading our youth fellowship, i am so grateful to Jesus because i easily make a line-up that are basically of the same key, tempo, or theme. Sometimes i get surprised that i have a carrying song that was not usually popular for the past months or being sung in our church. Thank God for the people who have composed and made arrangements for these songs.
Since I'm currently in my tough times, i have always incorporated the songs that i sing with what's happening in my life. I love singing. I love singing to God. And this is my best way of giving all of me to Him and magnifying His glory. The following are just a very few of my fave songs with special implication on the path that i'm travelling right now. Hope you guys would know the tune. I just hope i could upload even just its extract of the complete song.
Better Than Life
Better than the riches of this world
Better than the sound of my friend's voices
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart
And that's just the start
Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is
You hold me now in Your arms
And never let me go
You Oh Lord make the sun shine
And the moon light in the night sky
You give me breath and all Your love
I give my heart to You because
I can't stop falling in love with You
I'll never stop falling in love with You
Still
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
I will be still
And know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
Through It All
You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You
I'll sing to You Lord
A hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You never let me go
Through it all
All Day
I don't care what they say about me
It's alight, it's alright
I don't care what they think about me
It's alright, they'll get it one day
Coz I love You, I follow You
You are my, my life
I will read my Bible and pray
I will follow You all day
I don't care what it costs anymore
Coz You gave it all and I'm following You
I don't care what it takes anymore
No matter what happens I'm following You
All day, All day now, All day
All day, All day now, All day
Anyone around can see
Just how good You've been to me
For all my friends who don't know You
I pray that You would save them too
Consuming Fire
There must be more than this
Oh breath of God
Come breathe within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God
We wait for You
Fill us anew, we pray
Fill us anew, we pray
Consuming fire
Fan into flame
A passion for Your Name
Spirit of God, would You fall in this place
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way, with us
Come like a rushing wind
Clothe us with power
From on high
Now set the captives free
Leave us abondoned to Your praise
Lord, let Your glory fall
Lord, let Your glory fall
The One Who Lifted me
What can i say?
What can i do?
What can i bring to offer You?
There is no gold
No precious pearl
Nothing on earth that compares to You
Lord here I stand
with empty hands
I will exalt the One who lifted
Out of the miry clay
To height of eagle's wings
Words cannot express
All i know is this:
You've changed me, You've changed me
I can remember how i used to be
I was so bound
but now I'm free
I will exalt the One
Who lifted me
What can i say
A Father like You
A love that is strong
Gentle and true
You draw me close
Just like a child
Safe in Your arms
There is no doubt
This is my place
This is my way
There you have it. These songs comforts me, whatever the situation i am facing. The title of the latter song, i just assumed it. i'm too lazy to look up for the exact title. anyways, that is also the onely song not sung by Hillsongs, it's Sonicflood's. So many songs definitely are of significance to me and these are some of the few that i would wanna share with you guys.
Hey, this morning, we already had our thesis presentation and defense. i don't wanna take a deep scrutiny about what happened because, well....it's already 12:18am, Sunday. take note that i gotta get up early for church later..haha! i just want to thank ONCE AGAIN the Lord Almighty for being so faithful and true to His promises because we're over with one of the requirements for this school year.
2 down, 1 more to go.
And i'm over...by God's amazing grace.
finally our tarp is up!
'steeeggggg!
grabe...yesterday, i got home with this over the charts tension headache. after being sooo freakin' busy all day, i ended up physically weak. ngayon lang ulit kasi ako nakaramdam ng ganun. sakittt!
here's what happened: i woke up around 8:30am, rushed myself in taking a bath because in 10 minutes, i'll be meeting my thesis groupmate to go to the designer of our poster. we were in a time crunch because it should be submitted today (Th), 12:00nn. i was wearing a casual outfit when the two of us went at R. De Santos at Santol. as we arrived there, he seemed like as if it was a suprise visit from Her Excellency, PGMA. nagulat siya. WALA PA DAW SIYANG NAGAGAWA. argggghhhh!!! he told me yesterday via phone call that he's currently working on it tapos ni-saved template (or whatever you call it), wala pa siyang nagagawa! umagang-umaga pa lang, nagsimula nang uminit ulo ko. shhhhh, God can make things happen.
then, my Liaison Officer called me on my cel informing me that the powerpoint presentation that he made the night before was ruined--computer glitch, i presumed. so that morning, he made another one and told me that he won't be able to come on the presentation practice. naasar na rin yung kasama ko. kinuha yung phone sakin and yacked at our leader. it was around 10am, sabi ko uuna nako sa groupmate ko kasi i need to go home and change clothes coz im gonna be having my make-up at Metropolitan Hospital. i also burned the powerpoint presentation that was emailed by our leader. buti na lang i instructed my groupmate to burn that file as well in case i would be coming late for the practice. and i was late. nagipit na ako sa oras. i went inside the auditorium with our slide displaying THANK YOU already. major late! sabi ng thesis coordinator ng batch namin that the poster submission will be earlier na daw...dapat at 6pm ok na! grabe!!!
dumiretcho na yung groupmate ko ulit that afternoon at the tarpaulin shop and i, on the other hand, went to Metro to spend my entire afternoon treating patients. around 5pm, my groupmate texted me that it's all printed out..the tarp. andami ding nangyari daw the whole time she was at the shop kasi nag-hang yung PC ni kuya blah-blah, inulit...same concept pa rin naman. less than an hour daw yung pag-print nung tarp. machine na kasi yung gamit kaya daw mabilis. kinapos pa kami ng measurement nung tarp.
i decided to meet her at UST to help her posting the tarp together with the other groups. Thank You Lord, nakaraos nanaman ng isa pang requirement! konti na lang! sabi ng iba kong classmates, sumobra daw kami sa 3 colors kasi may pics kami from digicam. hmp, eh ano naman?! ok lang yan. di naman alam na kasama pala ang pix. isa pa, di kami nag-iisa. here are our pics yesterday:
moi and irma
with the other groups
konti na lang guys!!! Sa Saturday na yung presentation and defense namin. sa april na yung Orals ko. sana maipasa ko na lahat to by God's grace and mighty power.
hi my blog! i missed you. =)
i just finished doing a design concept through MS publisher for the poster presentation of our thesis. toxic this coming week. sobra. i emailed this concept to my groupmates and i just hope they would be able to view it and if not, find a way to do so, para i would know if we're gonna finalize it or just present it to the tarp designer and he can improve on it. thank God we immediately found a tarp maker and he's a good friend of my father and our music leader in church. sana maka-discount kami, maintindihan niya na isang hamak na estudyante pa lang kami at wala pang malaking datung na kini-kita.
T O X I C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i also want to use this opportunity to lift up the Lord's name because He's been really good, faithful and my always and forever stronghold. we never knew if we passed or failed the Decury remedials. it was only this morning a few weeks after the examination that our professor informed us about that thing. i was totally crying out to the Lord to grant favor upon my life since i'm graduating and the Lord God knows that i will always be at my best in searching and serving Him. i always find myself comforted in His presence whenever i feel worried and scared about the upcoming stuffs before we completely end our college life this summer. just by reading the Bible makes me realize lots of God's promises that behold me. hindi lang sa'kin of course, pati sa inyo rin. siyempre, the Bible was written and published for everyone! so, the message in there ay para sa lahat. walang exemption diyan.
so as she told us na isa-isa kaming lalapit sa may table niya to tell us quietly if we made it or not, kinakabahan na talaga ako. tao lang ako para kabahan pero i've put my trust in the Lord na and i guess i did my best to pass. i was the 2nd person to volunteer and determine the huge secret result. kinakain pa nga ni mam yung sinasabi niya para hindi talaga ma-lip read sinasabi niya. sabi sakin (imagine it with kinakain ang sinasalita), "wag kang mag-react para hindi naman masaktan mga bumagsak (di ko pa narrealize yung sinabi niya na...). pasado ka." wala akong mai-react na maingay or anything that has gestures na yehey kasi nga nakakaasar nga naman tignan yung ganun. isa simpleng, "opo. thank you mam." (nag-thank you ba ako? hehe) pagkaupung-pagkaupo ko, i quickly thanked the Lord for what He has done. after kong mag-pray, i texted my parents right away and informed them that i passed. whew! one year din yun kung sablay ako. THANK YOU JESUS! glory to God!!! naiiyak nga ako kasi 1 down, 2 more to go...Thesis and Orals.
now that my make-ups are almost fixed and scheduled, i can now focus on my revalida. ay, oo nga pala! ako din pala speaker for our thesis presentation. i just hope i would be able to deliver it smoothly, comfortably, eloquently, and within the allotted time. this saturday na yun kaya unti-unti nang natatapos ang dapat tapusin sa requirements ko sa kolehiyo.
okay, got to go na. andami kong pending entries from my sapang experience. tapos na nga pala ako sa internship, yun nga puro make-ups na lang sa mga centers/hospitals na naging late and absent ako. yung mga entries na yun, nasa papers lahat. yaan niyo pag may time, lagay ko dito. pero mukhang sa May ko na magagawa yun. haha!!!
baboo!!! how great it is to praise the Name of Jesus for everything that He has done in our lives!!! kaya full blast tomorrow sa church!!! i will always love giving thanks and glory to Him. sana kayo rin ganun ang feeling. God bless!
have a blessed and fruitful week!
