I've been at a loss for words to type.
This past month, I've been away at Hong Kong.
Alot of people ask me how was my trip, and all I could do was respond with an "Okay".
To be honest this past month I've dealt with a lot of doubt, a lot of fear. Fear of the world, fear of wrath.
It was a horrible feeling, and I did not enable to me to enjoy my vacation at all.
However as I came back to LA, I realized that God was trying to refine my heart..and I realized it's okay to doubt or fear sometimes..because He will use those moments to further strengthen your faith.
I realized there is so much I can worry about, but in the end God is in control..and if we could just take a step of faith and perhaps trust in Him..only then we feel a sense of relief.
And yes, doubt and fear will still lurk around from time to time, but if we are willing to submit those feelings to Him, he'll be sure to comfort you..like he said in Deuteronomy 31:8 -"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged".
I also realized something else.
We as humans, especially as Christians always struggle with ourselves, yearning to be "a better person", yet battling with our human nature. There is not much we can do though, I recently realized... except surrender ourselves completely to God, and only aim to be more like Jesus.
And so..this leads to a song to a song I wrote this morning.
I feel that I'm not the best public speaker, and my actions do not correlate to how my brain works all time, God gave each and every person a particular strength and I believe he has blessed me with the ability to be able to write lyrics and songs..and the least I could do is share it with anyone who might be interested.
God also told us to be a blessing to others,
Romans 1:11-12
I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith
So I hope in some way this might be a blessing to you.
More Like You
Whom do I have, but you Lord?
You take me as I am
When the whole world seems to fail Lord
You still understand
I am imperfect, I am unworthy of your grace
I wanna be more like you Lord, teach me your ways
Help me to be, more of you and less of me
Oh, would you help me to see
I am worthless, and a fool
Help me to be lost in love with you
Yes some might choose to mock me,
Some might to choose to laugh
I hope one day they’ll understand, your holiness,
And learn to love you back
I am imperfect, I am unworthy of your grace
I wanna be more like you Lord, teach me your ways
Help me to be, more of you and less of me
Oh, would you help me to see
I am worthless, and a fool
Help me to be lost in love with you
I dunno if More Like You is the best title, so if you have any better ideas. PLEASE GIMME SOME INPUT!
and for the part that is completely IRRELEVANT to my whole blog!
I wanna give a special SHOUTOUT to SANDRA WONG, for giving her time up to talk with me online countless times..and also for curing my boredom when I was bored.
So please support her in watching this video that she made when I told her I was bored...hopefully to boost her youtube staredom in the hopes of becoming the next KevJumba or HappySlip. Haha, Just Kidding..but if you have nothing better to do...you might as well watch this video.
