Passion Concert 21.10.08

Hey all

I watched a great concert yesterday... it was by Chris Tomlin's Passion band whose aim is to make Jesus name famous in our generation...
and I really need to say this...he did his job really well :)

2 Corinthians 5:21
"God made Him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God"

check this out...




I love this song: How Great is Our God...

To give you a little background, that was my first praise & worship concert I've ever attended...
I came from a Catholic family background and I was baptised since I was really young...
I normally go to church every Sunday and I've always had my faith in God...
I just wasn't someone who likes to listen to gospel music and I'd probably go to church for the sake of fulfilling my duty being a good Catholic...

My life was pretty decent...so it's not that I came from a broken family that would put me into a really bad life... but I wasn't that happy before... I always felt that I'm lacking in something... like I haven't achieved anything... I always wanted more and more and I barely can say to myself "You've done a great job Deb!"

Just last year I was always touched when I listened to the songs sung in my local church... it made me want to be involved more in their local community... but I was never able to attend to one of their bible study or I wasn't brave enough to commit...
Yes, I was still with my x bf at that time... I also studied part time at uni and did full time work... it might actually scare me a little bit.. so I ignored that feeling...

After coming back from my 3mths holiday, I came to Sydney and I thought well I have no bf anymore (since we broke up last year) and I only have work to focus on...
I started to think that I needed to contribute back to my society or at least share the talents that God has given me with the people around me...

Then I met my friend who just migrated to Sydney and he told me I would always be welcome if I want to join this church community...
And since then, I tried to give more of my time for God and try to know Him better...
I tried to change the way I used to be and try to be the person He would like me to be...

Sorry if my story is a little off topic here but I'd like to share a bit of my life story...
I'm not a good story teller but what I'm trying to say is that God has changed me little by little...
I could see the difference between my old and new life...
I've been happier and appreciate my life more than before... I believe that He would give what I asked at the right time...

I still don't know what I wanna be in my life... but I know that I want to be happy and by appreciating every little gift in your life and being thankful for that little thing that happened in our life, we would feel happier in our lives...

That was my little background why I started to be involved more in a church community... hehe

Anyway...
I honestly still think I'm too far from being a good person...
But when I think God has given A LOT to me, I think I should always try hard to be a better person every day and try to please Him :)

Thank you Lord :)
