People as they were standing up in praise |
But what really was my highlight during the two-hour experience aside from being able to meet them and see them before the concert, was how God spoke to me through their song. It was through the lyrics of "Revolution" when the reality of the harshness of life to followers of Christ yet still choosing to operate out of love, not out of some sheer desire to prove that I could live better than you do dawned upon me. These were the words:
I will rise above
I will live for love
I will answer to the call
For the bond between
For the depth unseen
For my God forsake it all
'Cause I'm a fire
I'm a flood
I'm a revolution
I am a war
Already won
I'm a revolution
Indeed, my God forsook all the favor by the people by living beyond the norms. Even Paul led uprising wherever He was led by the Lord since the message that He carried wasn't supposed to make people feel good. It's supposed to be something to lead people out of their normal lifestyle and pursue a relationship different that what they have heard, experienced or imagined.
It was just an eyeopener to me.
And yeah, about the Starfield concert, I might post some details about it soon. Buhbye for now. :D

ReplyDeleteP.S. Here are two photographers I follow who are also our sisters in Christ: Sarah {She posts about her blessed life and faith} and Arielle {She also talks a lot about her faith}. I hope you like their blogs as much as I do. I'll try to look for more for you.
Haha! And sure nang, timing man gid ko! Thank you lots! Now, I would really like to be serious about this, finding it to be something of beauty. I have never really looked at writing in this view-- colorful, yet now, I am seeing at as one of the best gifts given. :D
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for your mentoring and help! :D
Thanks liwat nang!
Wala ko ni ya katan-aw. Gin-pamatian ko sa youtube and song, namian ko sang pop-rock feel. Hehe :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sa pag-link, gin-dugang ta man ka sa link list ko para damo man kuno. Gudlak sa pag-blog mo, ang problema lang sa sobra ta ka-busy mga once every 2 months ko lang ma-update. Kadamo sang blog sa net nga daw 'abandoned'. Since 2010 pa ang blog ko and I can see a lot has changed sa akon since then kung mabasa ko sang older entries, biskan I admit mga self-centered rants lang to laban. :D
hahahaha! yehey! :) Well, one reason why I went back to blogging is that I could practice writing more and continue to tell the world about what happiness is in me. haha. well, of course, not always happiness, but almost like it.
Deletethat's great news yan! I am glad na you have seen the change, and letting be changed man. Looking forward for more of your posts with the new creation as you are!! :D
