Reminencing to my experience at the MCBCSL praise night of May 2008 and when I had previously sung this Hosanna song unexpectedly finding myself in tears when I got to the chorus:
"Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes for the things unseen...Show me how to love like you have loved me... Break my heart for what breaks Yours... Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause... As I walk from Earth into eternity..."
(8) Little did I know (8) last year I would in fact end up getting my heart broken. But through it all, I "truly believe" God has been also revealing His heart to me. Not only that, but I caught a glimpse of the SHAPE of God's heart. [http://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/2009/01/shape-of-my-heart.html]
Today in badminton (started this entry some days earlier) I was in a rush to and still had my i-Pod on me when I went and while I was playing. All of a sudden I notice music was playing from it in the middle of badminton and decided to put my headphones on. It was playing this very same Hillsongs song and right at that chorus as well. Then right after it was playing the Remember Me Initial D song.
2010 is the start of a new decade and an opportunity for change (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1jYllE0T-k ;). This decade was filled with a lot of unexpected events, the death of Michael Jackson and the disaster in Haiti, you name it. It would be safe to assume God also went through heartache of His own both on a global and personal scale.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. [Bible]
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. [Hebrews 4]
I am looking forward to be an even bigger part of the changes I know God inevitably wants to see in His world and a significant part of this involves developing my prayer life which is something I found God has been working in me recently through all the heartaches and disappointments as well as unexpected surprises; I have found that going to God in prayer as a "source of strength" can really be life transforming so I have been growing more spiritually in this area than ever before...
Join Him as we seek to make this decade more "Kingdom come" [Matthew 6] than the last.

Not sure who invented it, but presently, it has been a number of years ago now that I have heard someone express that "a generation is ...

"The unlikely Messiah from Nazareth is the only one that can help pull off our blinders and to help us truly see and to weep as He does...Perhaps our plea tonight should be God tear my blinders and help me see..."
[Ruth Padilla Deborst]
Verse One:
you left me all alone,
made me believe something so untrue.
you took my hand lead me down a path,
and I thought it would bring me to you.
but you turned off the light,
made me guess where to go,
quite frankly, I dont have a clue.
this path has traps I think I've fallen in one,
cause I'm left in the dark without you
Chorus:
I thought I could give you my heart,
my soul, my hand,
thought you'd never leave a mark.
thought I wasn't so naive,
I knew better than this,
but I've had enough,
and my heart just cant take it.
ooh ohh.....
VERSE TWO:
I remember sitting beside you,
felt like I was on top of the world.
and when you smiled at me oh,
my heart stopped and everything,
blurred away,
so it was just you and me,
oh my heart gave into your spell.
chorus:
I thought I could give you my heart,
my soul, my hand,
thought you'd never leave a mark.
thought I wasnt so naive,
I knew better than this,
but I've had enough,
and my heart just cant take it.
BRIDGE:
I gave too much,
more than my heart can take,
had too much faith in you.
from, and angel in heaven,
you suddenly changed,
and oh my heart changed too,
I finally saw, who you were...
Dear Angel, I hope you hear this song, and realize what a jerk you were.
