Mandi's Rambling

elllo MY LOVELY SISTERS!~~ Greetings from Waterloo!

This is my FIRST post here! Welcome to Mandi's (aka Amanda) OFFICIAL corner! Where I will share with you the blessings I have received from God. My hands have been itching to type up a blog ever since I had known about this blog. I'm extremely sorry for my procrastination. Need to change it before it becomes worst. So yeah! I really want to be a frequent participant of this blog. Really want to share more and MORE about the blessings I received from God everyday!~


Today, I just HAD to blog what touched me over and over again. I stumbled upon this blog, and I came upon this song called Tonight the Stars Speak by The Glorious Unseen. When I first listened to this song, it was so calming and beautiful. Love the guitar, the melody and his voice. So soothing. Then out of nowhere, my tears fell non-stop. The lyrics really reached out to me, as I'm typing right now, my eyes are clouded with tears streaking down my face while listening to this song again and again. The lyrics that started all this is:

Tonight the stars speak of Your infinite love
And it serves to remind me
That what I have, means nothing at all
Compared to Your glory, Oh Lord

(Chorus)
How long till Your voice speaks clearly?
How long till Your arms envelope me?
I cry be my strength when I am weak
Oh Lord have mercy on me please

My spirit is willing but my flesh is so weak
I cry in Your arms now
God grant me the strength to rest in You
I lift my hands and cry

Tonight the stars speak of Your infinite love
And it serves to remind me
That what I have, means nothing at all
Compared to Your glory, Oh Lord

I don't know if you do. But I look at the sky every day and night thinking that it's a painting that He painted for me. I am amazed, with each day and night passing by, the sky is different everyday. Awed at the beauty. Amazed at the masterpiece. Some days the sky has more clouds than other days or nights with more stars than other night. Just like how each day we spend with the Lord is never the same as yesterday, tomorrow or two weeks later. Each day is unique on its own and very special for both me and Him. And like the lyrics said, the stars speak of His infinite love for us. He makes them with us in mind, He can make each star shine brighter, He can make an infinite amount of star shine together, He can make them dance for us cause everyday spent together is worth a celebration. Celebration of LOVE!~ between us and Him! AND THAT's how much He loves us. Maybe even MORE!~ And soon, all things will pass away here on Earth. These days, I've been thinking that He is seriously going to be coming soon! VERY soon! I can feel it on the tip of my tail bone! ROFL! So I must hustle myself to do more for Him on this Earth before it's all gone.

The part that left me in tears is the chorus.

How long till Your voice speaks clearly?
How long till Your arms envelope me?
I cry, be my strength when I am weak
Oh Lord have mercy on me please

How long till Your voice speaks clearly? He's been trying to talk to me since I was born, but I haven't heard His voice clearly.. until now. All these years passed by while He was trying to speak to me, and I didn't know He was there. Until now. For sooo many years, I have ignored Him. I thought about how disappointed He would be after each minute, each day, each month, each year He failed to reach me, but at the same time, I am touched by how He never gave up trying to talk to us. I truly want to give back to Him as much He has given me. I want to talk to Him first, I want to hear Him clearly and I would never want to change that.

How long til Your arms envelope me? He has been wanting to hold us. Like a father that is awed when he first held his newborn child. All the emotions hits him all at once, but the strongest of them all, is happiness. The joy of holding his child, whom he would never want to let go once his child is in his hands. So small and beautiful, and the desire to protect, to bond with, to love with his entire being overwhelms him. It's like love at first site. That is most likely how much our Father wants to hold us. And I really want to be held by Him. Enveloped by Him. Doesn't that just make you feel all warm and squishy inside! As a child, who doesn't want to be close by their parent. It calms them, knowing that they are here with their parents, and they are loved and safe. I really love the word "envelope", it makes me feel warm and SQUISHY.

How long... two words that really impacted me like a car crash. CRASH! Answer: since eternity past. WOW! When I look at the word "long", two distinct definitions pops up into mind. One relates to time, the duration. The other is the desire that is strong and persistent. He LONGS to be with us, since a LONG time. WAH!~ How can you not be amazed! Looking back, all I see is all the time I have wasted, that's what too many years. Not knowing Him more. Not hearing Him. Not seeing Him. How can I make up for the time lost. This really pushes me to really want to know this God, my God, and truly want to spread the word of how wonderful my God is. And at the same time, smack those across the head whom still haven't see how wonderful He is. Jokes. No, seriously.

I cry, be my strength when I am weak. At this part, I was literally crying. He will always be my strength when I am weak. I have a lot of weaknesses. More than I can count, but I am really happy that He only looks at my strengths. And how precious it is that He is MY strength. One who will always support me, know what I need. With Him, everything impossible is made possible. One of my favourite verses. When I feel that I'm so stressed out, and I find that I'm crammed for time. I take a breather by coming before Him. It's like a moment of time where nothing else matters except Him. A breath of fresh air. And I am relief of all the stress I had. Truly with Him, Him by my side, as my strength, all things are made possible. This always touches me everytime I think about this, cause I am always amazed of His whole-hearted and personal love towards me. ME! ME!!

My spirit is willing but my flesh is so weak
I cry in your arms now
God grant me the strength to rest in You
I lift my hands and cry

When I close my eyes and listen to this verse's lyrics and melody. My heart is really overwhelmed with emotions that makes me uncomfortable (swell up) cause I can't express all of it all at the same time. Reminds me of the time just before you give birth for pregnancy. Although I've never experienced it before, but I can imagine how much the mother-to-be would want to push out the baby as fast as possible because it needs to come out but can't won't come out. Don't want to imagine when I go into labour. -shivers- What's with me and babies. LOL. But yeah, it reminded me of how much emotion I'm experiencing and just want to express it all out, but can't. Till the end, the song leaves me breathless, so BEAUTIFUL!!

I've been listening to this song on repeat over and over again for probably more than 5 times now. Everytime I listen to it again, this song never fails to leave me with new tears trickling down my face.

Here's the song that left me full of tears. I hope it can touch you as it had touch me! Close your eyes and experience His love for you!~

Enjoy His love fully today and to the end!~

Congrats for getting to the end of my rambling! There's a lot I cut out, since I think this post will become WAYYY tooo LONG! And you'll fall asleep before you read this sentence. This song clearly made my day, since I realized I forgot to pay rent at the beginning of this month -_-" got charged an extra fee of $25. BOO! And it's also RAINING today! Don't like the rain AT all, was supposed to go grocery shopping, but cause it's raining, didn't go. Made me feeling kind of depressed. At the same time, the sky is all grey and gloomy. Making me even more depressed. But this song really "cheered" me up and made me forget what made me sad. He is truly HERE with you!~
