on a lighter note...

I went to see Third Day at the Puyallup Fair last week!!!!! I love Third Day! They are my all-time favorite band! =D I was really happy to hear them play many of the songs from the Offerings II album, which is my favourite one of all.Their songs have always been a huge encouragement in my life and Mac Powell's voice just melts my heart every time =P Last night when my friend G-Sak serenade us with some songs that he wrote, I realized one of the things I find very attractive is someone who is musically gifted. Especially someone who plays the guitar (or piano) passionately. Passionately being the key word here, because anyone can play the guitar but to be truly great at it and have your love for God shine through as you play is so rare. And a great voice to go with it just makes me sit in awe.
Oh Mr. G-Sak, you have won my heart! ; ) LOL.

Another thing that makes my heart sing?
VITA LEMON ICE TEA!!
There's something about a cool, refreshing box of Vita lemon ice tea that just makes me really really happy! : ) Ever since my first drink at the age of 2, I was hooked. I fell in love. It's just so good! So sweet and refreshing! You say it's just a drink, that it tastes just like all the others. Oh, but it's not! It's so much more to me! Perhaps because we have history. It reminds me of HK and my childhood there. The ages of 2-6 were the happiest times of my life. I would be sad and my parents would buy me a box of Vita and I would be happy again and it still has this effect on me.
It's the same type of feeling I get when I see my Monkey! Or when I think about how awesome my Father in heaven is. Ok, maybe not to the same degree. When I think about the Lord, how he saved me, how he lifted me, it makes me want to sing! (haha, I think these are lyrics to a song). I don't want to sing when I drink my Vita lemon ice tea but it does give me that temporary joy and satisfaction. And sometimes for the moment, that's just enough. But of course, it's just temporary and that's why God is who I put my trust in because He my everlasting joy and I can't be drinking my ice tea every second of every day for eternity : P
I'm sure you all have something like this in your life. At least I hope you do!
