Life, BC and AD

In the following years, I had a front-row seat to changed lives. God re-fashioned my parents' character, their habits, their attitudes.

Their abundant affection and the inner experience I had of God's love under girded me during my awkward school-age years.

Then I became a teenager.

In ninth grade, I decided to change my misfit image for the gloss of popularity, whatever the cost. I'll come back to God later when I'm done doing things my way, I reasoned. I shrugged off any consequences and believed that to have a "good" testimony, like so many of the dramatic ones I had heard, that I had to have a "past."

At 17, I finally woke up. God helped me imagine how my life might turn out if I continued shunning His love and leadership. I thanked God for protecting me in spite of my unwise choices and I realized the incredible privilege of having been spared the pain that my parents had experienced before knowing Christ.

Irresistible Force (LOVE)

In the name of love and life
Turn your face to the lonely night
And all through the years
Love never dies
All things must pass
When irresistible force such as you
Meets and immovable object
And human animal madness
And blood starts ro flow
I got to find my personal God of love
It si what I am loving for
And love is the only law
My fair weather friend fell your sorrow
and tears
They are mine
I share to the end
Irresistible force meets
an immovable object
I surrender all or nothing
You must spread yoyr wings
And fly with me

-Song Sung by BEE GEES.
