Holy crap, I don’t know what happen but I’m glad that I came
home at the right time that day!!! Good
thing I went home at that time otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten to see One
Republic perform at the Bill Graham Center that night for free!!! Alice was going leave soon and told me that
she has an extra ticket to see One Republic at this after party. It was really last minute because she only
gave me an hour to go get ready before we left the house. (The reason that Alice invited me at the very
last minute was because I was her last choice to invite….but oh well, I got to
see One Republic perform for free)!!! I
mean, the feeling was so surreal because we saw Ryan Tedder (the lead singer of
One Republic) perform right in front of us.
I got to stand in the 1st row, I know I was that close that
it felt like Ryan was serenading me his songs the whole time!!! AWESOME!!!
At that moment in time while I was watching One Republic perform I felt
that God was in my presence by giving me a taste of what he can do in my life
and much much more in my life. I just
need to surrender my problems to God and HAVE FAITH that God will
bless my life. (The tricky part for me
is to not worry, stress, or have anxiety thinking about the future relating to
my problems. I just need to be patient
and focus on God. Never compare myself
to others because “to compare is to despair”!!!
A friend at church told me that once I surrender all my problems to God,
I need to remember to not coming back to the problems. She said it’s like giving someone a gift or
flowers to an alter and after awhile you want the gift or flowers back it’s
considered disrespect because you don’t ask for it back after you give it to
someone.) During one of the songs I was
thinking how God has already pre-arranged everything and made sure that I was
able to see and enjoy One Republic perform for free!!! God is Amazing because I never thought I
could see them perform live, so close to the stage, and for free!!! I
thank God for my sister’s friend giving my sis an extra ticket to this after
party. Sometimes I wonder what did I do
to deserve this blessing? I did nothing
different except started going to church and have been almost consistent
attending church for almost a year now. I also took notes in my purple notebook
everytime I go to church. Which reminds
me I’m also grateful that I was able to see Joel Osteen and his family at the
AT&T park giving motivational speeches about God called “A Night To
Remember” with my friend back in July. I
never thought in a million years that I would able to see Joel Osteen talk
about God unless I traveled to Houston, Texas and it was even better than I
thought it would be because I saw his whole family and even saw his two teenage
kids perform on stage. LOL…I knew about
a lot of the stories that Joel, his wife, and his mom told about their life
stories that night. (It’s probably
because I have a lot of Joel’s books.) Anyways, I admit that it’s hard for me to
surrender my problems because religion is a new thing for me. But I’m slowly learning to trust God and HAVE
FAITH that God will take care of me and will continue to bless me
with everything I need and much much more!!!
