Tonight I attended a quite different but extremely refreshing worship service... I was hosted by a church in North OKC (Divine Light) and the premise of the night was add to the beauty.
Through art, music, poetry, media, prayer, or simple but deep communion we were all invited to worship our King in our own way adding to the MOSAIC (name of the service) that that night represented.
The Theme of the night was centered in the Cross, and it was "the Beautiful Scandalous Night" knowing and understanding that what Christ did on the cross it was scandalous... the King of Glory coming down from heaven to die laying down His life for you and for me, broken and wretched sinners... yes Scandalous!!! but isn't also a beautiful demonstration of His love for us?
the night started with worship... and I never heard many of those songs before. I was standing in awe of the beauty of our king, and then one of the lines of the song that was being played suddenly got of hold of the strings of my soul:
"You are loved beyond your wildest dreams"
and those words drove me into the "writings sections" and a new poem was being born...
Daydream
In the midst of this fast pace life
we run... we fight... we try to believe
as we know we are meant for much more
we long... we crave... we try to believe
desperately we search and pursuit to know
who You are... who I am... who we are
careless leap of faith attempting to discover
who to trust... who to follow... who to love
but You
coming towards me dancing in the valley
bringing healing, restoration, and joy
and while You are singing over me, You love me
with Your beautiful, wild, endless, and scandalous love.
mb
yes like the song said... I am loved beyond my wildest dreams.
I am being loved by LOVE himself... scandalous and beautiful at the same time.

when a melody escaped from your soul [midnight reflections]
Warning: This note is very different to what I usually write, so consider yourself warned.
I have so many things running through my mind that I am unsure on where to begin, so I guess lets start from the beginning.
yesterday I was sitting in the office filing correspondence of some kids from the Philippines... and while doing that I usually try to read the names of every child that is entered into the program, we all know that names have different meanings.
while doing something like that, you will come across all sorts of names, from the most unusual ones to the ones that we hear everyday... specially if you are reading names from children from exotic places such as Burkina Faso or Myanmar... but in some point during that process one stroked me like a lightning bolt, and for a couple of seconds I checked out mentally from my "administrative duties" and I was embraced in his arms.
one little Philippine girl by the name of Grace simply smiled at me from her picture, but her name caressed my face like only our Father can do.
from there all afternoon long I've been thinking about His grace, and how incredible is to know that we live everyday simply embraced by His endless love for our lives...
This last week many things have been changing in my life, I've made some decisions that are going to determine in a significant way my days to come, at the same time some new people has entered into my life and the truth is that I am quite speechless when it comes to describe it, so I'll just smile and go on... something also happened in Buenos Aires this week that has honestly brightened my eyes, and with tears rolling down all I could say was thank You.
with that mix of thoughts and emotions in my life I walked into my place, and I you know when the Lover of your soul whispers your name, I was dazzled by Him... I grabbed my guitar and while the melody was born the words flowed freely.
I wanted to tell you
how good I am...
and how many diplomas
are hanging from my walls
that I'm always uplifting
and of course always laugh
that I'm always succeeding
and that I'm your champ
but...
I'm far away from perfect
but I found grace
embraced in is love
where I know can dance
I know that I'm not worthy
and can't measure up
but His grace is sufficient
will always last
yes I am a dreamer
some say visionary, perhaps
I am in love with people
and I hear their cry
I know I have mission
I do hear His call
wide open hands
that are reaching out
but...
I'm far away from perfect
but I found grace
embraced in is love
where I know can dance
I know that I'm not worthy
and can't measure up
but His grace is sufficient
will always last
but his grace is sufficient
will always last
for almost an hour after I got off work yesterday I sung this song, and yes His hands were caressing me once again with His grace... after a couple of minutes I was drowning in His arms.
I know that this note is unlike why I usually write...
But you know what, is alright... as always, I know He is smiling...
His grace is enough.
