Now playing

First and foremost, I want to apologize to all of you for not being able to reply to all of your comments. Eventhough we are already back in the metro, I still have not been active today because I slept the whole afternoon. I am still very exhausted from that weekend. Last night when I was drafting my article, my whole body was in pain. Was it 12 midnight when I slept? I woke up at 630AM but I told myself that I wanted to sleep more and I can just replay the morning mass so I slept again. After an hour and a half, I woke up but I didn't realized that I slept for an hour more. LOL.

When it was already 9AM, I immediately get out of the bed because I know that my godson has an 8AM class. As it turns out  he only had a 10:15AM quarterly examination.

Now that it's evening, I still have not yet hear the mass. Since I got very busy these past few days, I am really sad that I missed the morning mass. It started yesterday but with praying the rosary, I started missing it last Saturday. I was atill able to read the bible because there were a couple of minutes when I would hold my phone that I would open the Bible app. Do you also feel guilty and sad if you have not prayed or talked to God? I remember when I was working in company D, I really tried to stop by a church before or after going to work but I could not stay that long to hear the mass because I was in a hurry. Either I was running late for work or I just want to go home right away. Reasons right? We sometimes make time for people who we want to make time for but often times God is not included in those times. Feeling guilty? I admit that I did made a lot of time for someone even if he does not have time for me and during those times, I never did made time for God. Maybe because I was guilty of lying to my parents about him and some of the sins that I have committed. I know we have a loving and forgiving God but I am deeply saddened whenever I cannot hear Christ's teachings.

Have you ever been inside the church that for some unknown reasons it made you cry? Or have you been teary eyed whenever you hear God's teachings or even some church songs? I did, I did, I did. I cannot remember how many times I have been teary eyed while inaide the church. I would  just have to yawn for other people to think that I was teary eyed because of it but in reality, it was because of God. I felt like it was the Holy Spirit that had touched and healed me.

And last Friday, while I was watching the mass, I cried when I heard the song, Ang Panginoon ang Aking Pastol (The Lord is my Sheperd). At first it was like I have eaten a wasabi that I felt the heat went up through my nose and then to my eyes. After a few seconds of hearing that beautiful song, it made me cry. I was literally weeping. Even now that I am just typing this, I can feel something going up through my nose again. LOL.

What is your favorite church song/s? I do have a few that I really want even when I was in elementary but I can only remember a few because I have not hear some of it in years. But one that has always been on my mind is See Ye First. Then the other songs will be Sa'yo Lamang, Lord I offer my life, Anima Christi, Yahweh, I know You are near and a lot more. There was also a song that I asked @JLoberiza not just once but twice when we were in a different platform though I always forget about the title of that song but it was the start of a beautiful connection between us. I am not sure if it was the song, You are mine, but I am positive that it was because of the part, "Do not be afraid I am with you". This song is very perfect for people who have a lot of fears and you know that I can very much relate to that as I have a lot of fears in life. I always wanted to see his posts even before as it had made an impact on me. Both JLoberiza and @bbghitte's posts were about bible verses that hits directly into my heart. Then here on read.cash, I always love it when someone will write about the word of God just like JLoberiza and @Ellehcim. On noise.cash, there are also some users who would have very inspirational posts. Whether they would quote some bible verses or anything that was about God, I really love to read about those. There were some instances that I am having a bad day or a not so good morning and then I will read such very meaningful posts then slowly my mood will change. Have you also experienced something like that?

Going back, all church songs are really beautiful and very pleasant to our ears right? I love it even more if it was ala orchestra. I cannot explain it further as I am not really good in music but those songs with second voices. Oh I just really love that.

When we were at my brother's mother-in-law's house, the playlist that I have on repeat when I was about to sleep was some church songs. My heart was so full when I hear those songs just before I retire the night. The songs were so relaxing to my body, mind and soul that I was not able to stop it. I was awaken around 4AM because it was already so cold in the room so I had to decrease the aircon's temperature and I noticed that the playlist was still playing. So I paused it and went back to sleep.

These past few days, not only was I have been listening to some Korean songs as it was the songs on repeat at the Korean store but I also play church songs when I am alone. Even if I feel a little emotional listening to those songs, I feel like I am safe. I also feel like I am getting closer and closer to Him. I am pretty sure that if my friends will know about this, they will tease me most especially A. She even teased me before when I was praying and reading the bible. Honestly, I do not even care if they will tease me or not because I am really enjoying what I do. I would rather listen to these songs than the noise all over the world. I would rather listen to these songs than the new songs being played over the radio. I do not even know what the new songs are now. I stopped listening to them a few years back.

Do you also love listening to some church songs? What do you feel after you have listened to them? I hope you can try listening to church songs more often as it really change one's mood and outlook in life. Let us try to be a step closer to God each day.
