Someday

verse 1

Great is Your name its the sound of my hope

Reaching the highest of love ever known 

From the depths of the seas to the highest of mountains

I will shout from the top of my lungs 

chorus

Someday...  I'll stand by Your side

Someday...  I'll hold Your hand 

verse 2

You woke up the sound of the music in my heart

You woke up my soul been asleep from the start

Now i realize where my life is running

I'm running to You 

bridge

A heavenly kiss

I never felt like this before

A heavenly bliss

I knew that you'll open the door

So i reach out to you 

refrain

(This moment i'm waitin, i'm dreamin forever)

(Standin' right next to you holdin your hand)

(The moment i'm longing, i'll cherish forever)

(Standin there face to face holding your hand)

~ This song simply tells the longing to be with God in heaven someday. 

Someday we have to be there see Him face to face. Forever and ever...

A Man's Deepest Question

A Father and a son went up rock climbing and the son had a fear reaching top afraid that he won't make it again. With gentle reassurance, the father told him to head back down and that he knew another one that might be more fun. "No," the son said, "I want to do this." the father understood.

 There comes a time when we simply have to face the challenges in our lives and stop backing down.

So the father helped him up the overhang with a bit of a boost, and on the son went up with greater speed and confidence. With the father's  advice and exhortations the son sailed right over the challenging spots. A few more moves and he would be at the top. "Way to go son. You're a wild man!" the father shouted. The son finished the climb and finally made it to the top. As the son walked down from the back side the father began to clipped in his other son for a climb. Ten or 15 minutes passed, and the story was forgotten to the father. But not the son. While the father was coaching his other son up the rock, the son sort of sidled up to the father and in a quiet voice asked, "Dad... did you really think I was a wild man up there?"

There's something you can see in the boy's heart. Something unleashed. Something wild. It's not a question -- its the question, the one every boy and man is longing to ask.

Do I have what it takes?

Am I powerful?

Until a man knows he's a man he will forever be trying to prove he is one, while at the same time shrinking from anything that might reveal he is not. Most men live their lives haunted by the question, or crippled by the answer they've been given.

What kind of answers did you receive from your questions lately? Do you feel like being crippled from it? 
What is that rock in your life that is challenging to climb and that you're backing down? 
Time to face it. God gives us the strength and enough for us to see the masculinity in us. You're a man and not trying to prove it. Don't shrink. Prove it.

Philippians 4:13"I can do everything through him who gives me strength"------ excerpt from the book "Wild at Heart"

Safe

[chorus]

You show me the way where I will be safe

the darkness will fade for You placed a light

in the core of my heart and knew from the start

that my life will be forever with you in a harmony

[verse 1 Obscurity]

I've been walking through

this long and winding road

what's ahead is hard to see

and the future's a mystery

but Your will I depend

I'll see You in the end

[verse 2 Solitude]

When I am alone with no one to console

the loud silence in the place

I'll still be off'rin' You my praise

I'll stand on my own

I'll sing You my song

[verse 3 Monotony]

I could be running circles over and over again

as long as it's for You, O King

in the end I know You'll bring

all this sacrifice into paradise

[bridge Reality]

When no one even dares

or show You that they care

then I'll be the one

I'll be the one...

***This is like the life of David; How God trained David to become the man He was ~ The man after God's own heart. This is the method God used training His servants. Being capable of doing the little things will prove ourselves to be capable of doing the big things. Learn to King it! like David did. David gave himself to God despite all the challenges he had but still in God's arms, in the end, he was SAFE.

As disciples, we can go through this:

1.Obscurity

• absence of light ~ unknown
• If you wanna be used by God, you gotta learn to close your eyes and trust God
• strange as it may seem those who first accept the silence of obscurity are best qualified to handle the applause of popularity
• You will be tested if you really love God

2.Solitude

• Praising God alone ~ Quiet Times
• Nature as a nurse and companion
• When bored, then pray
• Sing for God

3.Monotony

• Faithful with the little things
• Life without break
• Being faithful in the menial, insignificant, routine, regular, unexciting, uneventful, daily task of life

4.Reality

• overcoming difficult challenges in life resulting in having a great Obscurity, Solitude, and Monotony life
• The conversion of the soul is the miracle of a moment, the manufacture of a saint(great leader/disciple) is the task of a lifetime

Night Spark

night's so fine, stayed outside
fireflies played in my eyes
i'm singin oh i'm singin

sound of trees with the breeze

all these gladness that i feel tonight
i'd like to sing You praises
Your light illuminates and brighten up
the darkest shade of my life
You make me feel so fine

***just a night of gladness and joy knowing how blessed I am living my life. I couldn't ask for more of than being in the loving arms of my Heavenly Dad. So a night of singin' and me-time.
