As a child, my mom encouraged me to sing along to songs during mass. If she caught me not singing, she would nudge me and remind me that singing is like praying twice--it's stronger. So I sang.
So it shouldn't be a surprise when I tell you that I was a member of the children's choir from age 6-13. I sang every Sunday at 10am.
During my teenage years, I was still pretty active in Church. I was a member of the praise ministry and head of the dance ministry.
I don't think I have a beautiful voice but I've always kept to heart what Mama said about singing to God.
Going to the point of this entry--I usually start my Mondays with loud music to get me psyched for work. But not today.
As soon as Joaquin left for school, I locked the door to my room, sat on my bed and sang this song.
They used to make me do a solo of this song during prayer meetings. There was one prayer meeting where I played this on the piano while I sang. This has always been my love song for Him. And it's a song that everyone will be able to relate to.
Because no one is perfect.
Last week was tough. My faith was tried.
But like the casino, you can gamble all you want, test it with all your might--But at the end of the day, the house always wins. He always wins.
And so I sing.
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know, You're here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay,Teach me to stay there"
