Blessed

Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, really, but I truly enjoyed finding myself refreshed through worship service at my church.

I couldn't stop the tears as they cleansed my soul of all the worry, doubt and frustrations I had let in. Even issues from the past came out. It's funny how things we thought had gone, still cling on. Some of these things were really trying to divert me from enjoying the blessings at hand. I was so busy complaining about matters so insignificant when in comparison to the magnitude of the many gifts I get to enjoy daily. No exxageration. I mean how many people can say that they are recording a CD and without much money? Not many I suppose. And not many people can say that many friends and loved ones have been willing  to help out with this project simply because they believe in you. And so on. I'm not trying to brag here, but just highlight how misguided I was. Focusing on the wrong things. And we do that a lot.

Days like this past Sunday make me feel guilty for the moments I doubt God's ability to make anything, even the impossible, happen. I forget how awesome He is. Even still, I forget how much he loves me. I apologized to the Big Guy. He doesnt deserve my lack of gratitude.
So here's to Him: I love you and thank you!

Below I want to share a song I love by a great singer, Rachael Lampa. Hope you enjoy it!



PS: Saturday was photo shoot day (the first one of two) for our album. We had a great time. It was a great experience that left us with about 1000+ photos to choose from.
Can't wait to show them...and my outfits!

PSS: Found this necklace here and you can buy something like it from here.

  3. What a beautiful song, I tend to feel the same way sometimes. He has blessed me in so many way but sometimes I feel like I am not thanking him enough, or serving him like I should and there comes the guilt. I was raised in Christian household and stopped visiting church for almost 2 years, getting back has been a process. I am not half of what I was before but I am praying for strength to get there. God has done so many wonderful things for me, there's no other way I could repay him but giving him my life.
