.:: Goldi's Noted Thoughts ::.
Sometimes I believe all the lies
so I can do the things I should despise.
And everyday I am swayed
by whatever is on my mind.

I hear it all depends on my faith
so I'm feeling precarious.
The only problem I have with these
mysteries is they're so mysterious.

And like a consumer I've been thinkin'
if I could just get a bit more...
More than my fifteen minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure...

My faith is like shifting sand,
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

I begged You for some proof
for my Thomas eyes to see.
A slithering staff, a leprous hand,
and lions resting lazily.

A glimpse of Your backside glory
on this soaked altar going ablaze.
But You know I've seen so much,
I explained it away...

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace

Waters rose as my doubts reign
My sand castle faith have slipped away
I found myself standing on Your grace
It'd been there all the time

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.
Life can seem unbearable at times, but don't let it keep you down. Meditate on God's goodness, talk to Him, and know that He hears you. When life knocks you to your knees, you're in a good position to pray.

What The New Year Brought To Me
Of course, with the long time I've been gone in the blogging world, a lot of the happenings in my life were missed by this blog. It's because most of the time I don't feel like writing it here and sharing what I've been going through, besides the fact that I am not a creative writer.

Most the things I've been through during the past year, or just the past month, were not so good experiences and feelings, and I just don't think I should still carry it with the new year. Like what they said, past is past.

Well, not my most recent and last experience for the year 2005. I'd say it was a great thing to end the ending year and to start the coming year. I am thankful I was able to go there because I would have missed a lot.

I have been to a 3 day worship camp. During my stay in the camp, although short, I was able to have time with my fellow worshippers and so I was able to express myself more freely in worship because I am with the same crowd! It's actually one of my problems most of the time, I am not that expressive with my feelings, and the most sad was I was even ashamed to show even my feelings for God. Well of course, you don't see Him, and you can worship Him anywhere. What I'm really afraid of is for people to think I am probably insane or that I'm a show off if I'm going to express how I feel for God before them. I usually feel that during Sunday worship, where you are worshipping with the congregation. In the camp, I learned I should not feel like that.

You know how you look like when you speak (sometimes with different words), laugh, cry, dance, and/or REACH for something that nobody can't see? That's how it is with God. God is spirit, and so nobody can see Him. God is worshipped in faith.



In being afraid of what people will think whenever you feel like expressing yourself to God, King David in the Holy Bible was given as an example. There was one time that he was in high spirits and in a very worshipful mood that he even danced naked in worship to God. Talk about being undignified! He forgot about himself. And to think he's a king and he's doing that in front of his servants. He didn't care what they think of, as long as he gets to express his worship for the Lord. That's just saying that even David, a king, didn't care what people would think as long he expresses what he feels for the Lord.

Honestly, I am still struggling with it, and that's one fear I have to overcome. I should not be ashamed of what I do for the Lord, and God is asking for an extravagant worship. Actually, He doesn't have to ask for it, because that's what He deserves.

God is good. And his mercy endures forever.

About This Blog
I don't intend this to be my life's chronicles but I might write some of my experiences here. Even so, everything that's written in here are either products of my excessive contemplation, or just plainly, pure boredom. In any case, I still try to write as sensible as possible, for what I really intend to do and I hope is achieved in every writing, is to impart or share some of the things I learn and sometimes, some struggles in life. Don't expect all seriousness in everything in here though.

In short, this blog is my outlet. My noted thoughts and reflections.
