Chris Tomlin

I was listening to Chris Tomlin’s song online today, and thought of how remarkable the achievements are of this young man. He is reportedly the most sung Christian Artist, not only in the US but across the globe. His songs are sung in churches and have been translated in many different languages. His music, most of them written and composed by him, gives us a glimpse of this man’s heart. He is, in my humble opinion, a modern-day David. God bless him.

I don't know why but I just randomly googled him. I, of course, eventually went to the ultimate source, Wikipidea. This was where I found this interesting tidbit of news, or rumor, however you’d call it. I don’t know if you’re already aware of this, but here’s the scoop. According to Wiki --

In May 2008, it was announced that Tomlin and his band would be leaving the church he helped plant with senior pastor Matt Carter in Austin, Texas; The Austin Stone Community Church. He'd be leaving in order to start a new church with Passions Conference speaker, Louie Giglio in Atlanta, Georgia.
I researched this information further and came across a blog, that of Human3rror confirming this rumor.

Wow, if this is indeed the case, then Georgia is really blessed to have these two influential men of God start a church in their turf.

I see another mega-church coming. Like Georgia needs another one.

Pretty crazy.

We'll be watching and waiting, that's for sure.

Why Atlanta? Who knows. But let's be praying for His Glory, regardless of why and when.

A Recap of 2007

Image
Year 2007 is soon to be officially over in a couple of days. As I bid adieu to this year, I know that 2007 will definitely leave an indelible mark in my spirit. This year I have battled and fought, overcome and conquered the many obstacles that life brought my way. It all began in October 2006 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma stage 4 which at that time had already metastasized to her bones, lymph nodes and skin. But even this horrible news did little, if anything, to put me down. I knew there would be an uphill battle ahead of me, but I prepared myself. I put on God's full armor and held on to God's promises in His word as tight as I could. So as the year 2007 came rolling in, I was ready. My heart was expectant of the Lord's miracles to take place in my life and in my family. I even went as far as boldly declaring 2007, being a year ending with the perfect number 7, as the year of PERFECTION - a year when everything in my life w

Shotgun Prayers

Lately I’ve been finding myself having quality time with God when I drive. It is embarrassing to admit, but it is when I am driving that I get my quiet, alone time with Him. Ironically, I am able to focus on the Lord very well despite the craziness of Miami's traffic. Within the four walls of my car I've poured out my heart and soul to the Lord. The car is privy to all these wonderful, sometimes desperate times with Him. If only my car can talk, I am sure that she would be able to tell you about my most fervent prayers, my secret longings and deepest sighs. But there are also those times that I find myself just throwing out one-line-prayers for someone, or for something. Like when an ambulance passes me by, I’d quickly say a prayer for the person in the rescue vehicle. Or, anytime when I see something in the street that moves me, I throw those one-liners out to God. Usually, these prayers are more like, “Bless that person Lord!” , “Help him/her live that she may know you !” O

MOTHERS

To all mothers who happen to read this blog, I just want to greet you a very happy mother's day. You are the silent heroes whose sacrifices are not acknowledged / recognized as often as they should be. Mothers, without you, we will never be the same. And for that, I want to let you know, thank God for mothers like you. May the Lord's anointing, grace, wisdom and strength abound in you all the days of your lives. Happy Mother's Day! P.S. Special shouts-out to my friends Holly Logan, Vicky Aguirre, Sylvia Meza, Adri Brigham and mother-to-be Rachel Justiniano on this day. You are such good examples to me. God bless you guys.
