how good

first off, thanks to gerard, angie, and fred!
i feel a calling to do it. but it's really hard to think about right now.
i mean there's so much i need to take care of before getting into something that, right now, feels so foreign. i mean i know i've lead/directed/coordinated my fair share of music...praise the Good Lord for that! but i have so many fears. so many reservations. and a parish works much differently than a prayer community music min or even music min for masses at UCI. but i'll definitely keep praying about it. but maybe it's not too farfetched of a dream after all....



if you ever wanna hear the following song (bolded and italicized) just let me know...


"Never have I felt so safe than when I'm wrapped in Your Embrace
When I'm...I'm broken. Oh, You carried me.

You're my Net and my Rock, Lord. And without You, I wouldn't have made it out alive. It's not a secret that the last month or so has been a trying one for me. But You encircled me in Your Love Divine and with the Truth that our lives here on Earth are not meant for forever....That forever is with You and in You.

Guiding, Helping me to see.
And I have smile when I see one set of footprints in the sand.

I smile 'cause I know that I'm Yours. And I know You love me. And when I have fallen, You carry me. When I am lost, I run to You and find the Way. You open my eyes to the Beauty of Your Grace and Goodness.

How good You are to me
How much I want to fall deep in love with You, more with every day.
Oh, I wouldn't trade a thousand bags of gold for one day without You.
Oh, and I love You. I love You. I love You.
That's all I wanna say.
I love You. I love You. I love You."

I love you...
