Stubborn Love

this song makes me cry. it's a good reminder of just how much our GOD loves us.

Caught again. Your faithless friend.
Don't You ever tire of hearing
What a fool I've been?
Guess I should pray,
But what can I say?
Oh, it hurts to know the hundred times
I've caused You pain.

The "forgive me" sounds so empty
When I never change.
Yet You stay and say, "I love you still,"
Forgiving me time and time again.


CHORUS:
It's Your stubborn love
That never lets go of me.
I don't understand how You can stay -
Perfect love embracing the worst in me
How I long for Your stubborn love.


Funny me.
Just couldn't see
Even long before I knew You,
You were loving me.
Sometimes I cry -
You must cry, too
when You see the broken promises
I've made to you.
I keep saying that I'll trust You
Though I seldom do.
Yet You stay and say You love me still,
Knowing some day I'll be like You.


CHORUS:

It's Your stubborn love
That never lets go of me.
I don't understand how You can stay -
Perfect love embracing the worst in me.
And You never let me go -
I believe I finally know
I can't live without Your stubborn love!

intervention

have i really let go? i know i did but then it came creeping back on me and before i knew it, kaboom.. i'm almost back to square 1! well some of the things they've (jdv & mon) said kinda hit me but one thing i don't agree with was when they said na "kawawa naman magiging bf ko next". i don't think so!

maybe he would think that he would just be living in the shadow of the past guy but i know myself. i've been to a couple (?) of serious relationships already and i know that i could love the next one more than i've loved the last one. didn't i love the g guy more than i've loved edsel? so i'm quite confident that i would love the next one more than i've ever loved the g guy.

reality tv

i love watching reality shows on tv. i watch jon & kate + 8, small people big world and 18 kids & counting. and among these the last one, i think, is my favorite and it's because they're christians. they have 18 kids (now 19) but they were able to raise them pretty well. they've got good christian values and i love seeing the love & respect still present in jim bob & michelle's eyes whenever they look at each other.

so you see, marrying someone who fears God is more of a practical choice than a religious one. i want a God-fearing family. i want order in my family and not chaos. i want to look in my husband's eyes with confidence, knowing that God gave him to me and that he'll stand by me no matter what.

a relationship without God in the center is really a boring one. what do you talk about? once the passion had died down, what's next?

i want a love triangle, with God in the center. that way our union will be stronger, less chaotic but at the same time more exciting compared to what this world alone could offer.

what have YOU prepared for me, DAD?
