I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

This song is just so powerful to me. First heard it when I went to my friend's church in Caloocan. That time the band was playing full force I could barely hear the words. I just heard "I can only imagine" and the words just got stuck in my mind, literally, for a while. The people were singing, shouting, lifting their hands up. Some were even on their knees. I've never seen such powerful worship.

As I prayed last night, I was at a loss for words. I wanted to tell God how great and majestic He is in my life, how He has shown His grace and mercy to me, but I just couldn't get the right words to say. It seemed that even "Hallelujah" and "I love you, Lord" weren't enough. I wanted to say something else - something that would explain how I truly feel whenever I remember that He created me and even died for me without asking for anything. He's been so wise, so extraordinary, so indescribable. Having planned this whole universe up to the most intricate detail of our human bodies, only God can do the utmost expression of love which is sacrificing Himself for His creations.

The least I can do is to love Him back because nothing and no one in this world can even compare to Him. But come to think of it, loving Him back is just not enough for all the glorious things He has done.

Lord, my Master and Creator, for all the things You've done for me, I haven't been so thankful. I have neglected you most of the time. I have hurt you in so many ways, yet you continue to love me as You always have. I can never understand, Lord, the depth of Your love and the extent of Your grace and mercy for me. Forgive me for all those times. I never want to hurt You again.

Smiles,

XCHANGE SATURDAY!

Right! That was my initial reaction.

I joined oDesk (an online community where you can get hired to work as who knows who for other users) late last month. I've applied for numerous jobs: around 17 data entry, tutorial, proofreader and rewriter jobs all in all. Have I mentioned I needed to write original cover letters for each of those applications? I know I was qualified most of the time, or even over-qualified at that (yabang!). I was just quite scared of one thing - the interview! Most of the buyers were Americans, Europeans and Australians. For everybody's information, my tongue gets stuck up when I talk to native speakers. Place me in front of a Korean or Taiwanese and I'll be babbling in no time, but in front of Westerners, nah-uh!

Anyway, some minutes ago, I opened my oDesk daily job notifications. I came across one job that seemed to catch my interest because of the word, "bible." I browsed into it and here's the gist of what I would have to do.

Rewrite 20 articles for use on http://www.BibleTourist.com. The subject of these articles will be about various ancient holy land sites.

And there it went. It was interesting for me, even though I didn't like the idea of "ancient." I tried to apply for the job, writing the cover letter with utmost enthusiasm. I wasn't even thinking of getting hired. In fact, he already had 9 candidates who seemed far better than I was. Okay, I was just trying my luck (was it even right to think like that?).

Application sent.

Ten minutes.

*what! is this a joke?*
Checked my email for what seemed the most impossible thing I would receive today.

Assignment 3944275 has begun

Dear Cicely Frances,

Congratulations! As of 16-Aug-2009, you have been assigned to a job for glen roberts (glenroberts).

Please contact your buyer immediately to get started.

Checked my oDesk Account Alerts. Same message.


Then came the message from Glen Roberts.

	Glen Roberts to Cicely Frances David Hi there, Cicely! Welcome and thank you in advance for your work on job # 3936316. I setup an account for you so you should be able to login and submit your 20 article rewrites to the site. Each of the articles should be 500 words or more.

You can't imagine what joy I felt that time. I wasn't happy. I was joyful - full of high-spirited delight! That's how I would describe my feeling. Thinking of how many times I've applied to different online and offline jobs and how I've prayed really earnestly for a job where I can earn as much and still have time for other ministries, I realized that what God really wanted was to place me in a job where I could give glory to Him (not that I couldn't do it in other jobs, this was just....more...DIRECT. haha!)

My God is so great that I can't explain how to respond to His greatness.
My God is so wise that I remain humbled and awed by His decisions.
My God is so magnificent that just staring at Him would completely keep me off balance.
My God loves me so much that loving Him back is just not enough!

God is soooo amazing ^^

It was one ordinary Xchange saturday (it was today actually) when Kate started flashing ICEBREAKER cards at us. She was playing, and I was too. But I think it was sweet... of her... of us trying to answer those questions (along with the rest of the gang: Joi, Jowi, Kristine, Ate Charis and Jetsky).

First off,
KATE (holding the card right in front of my face): Who is Jesus for you?
STARLEE: Sha ay *thinking* everything! *thinking of Everything by Lifehouse*

KATE: Do you believe in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT (those were really in big letters,mind you)?
STARLEE: Kze hindi ku pa nakikita si Jesus pero I love Him.

KATE: Do you find yourself impressive? Why?
STARLEE: NO! Because I can't find myself.

KATE: What three things do you want to see in your married life?
STARLEE: *whaaat?!* *rummaging through stuff, kunyare nag aayos while having something else in mind.. whatta question!*

Then came the others......

KATE: Ate Starlee, di mu pa sinasagot to! *flashing the card again*
STARLEE: Ah! Bahay, asawa, anak! *whew!*

KATE: How would you describe your father?
JOI: Manly.
KATE: *looking at me*
STARLEE: err.. Fatherly! *tama ba??*
JETSKY: No comment.

Enough of me. She went to JETSKY next.

KATE: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
JETSKY: *pointing at me*
STARLEE:
KATE:

KATE: Tell us about a blessing you received recently.
JETSKY: *pointing at me again*
STARLEE:
KATE:

KATE: Whom do you share your problems and joys with?
JETSKY: *pointing at me yet again*
STARLEE:
KATE:

Then on with the questions with everybody else. Yay!

here i am (one sleepless RDSR night)

Tweet

here i am, my Lord
listening to Your word
waiting for Your call
ready to give my all

here i am, my Master
in You i find shelter
committing to You the best of me
surrendering myself completely

here i am, my Jesus
break me into pieces
find me kneeling at your feet
it's you i want to meet

unlike Yours...

Tweet

my blood is filthy
unlike Yours
which you shed
on the dreaded cross

my life is sinful
compared to Yours
which changed lives
and opened doors

my heart is impure
unlike Yours
which is filled with love
for all sinners

my soul is dark
compared to Yours
which became light
and my only source
