i like this guy!

I first heard about this guy in the early 90's.  He's not really the kind of guy who's an eye-catcher...for me.  I remember I don't even like his hairstyle then.  But I admire him.  He's musically gifted and a family man.  Haha, before I create some confusions here, let me say that I'm speaking of Steven Curtis Chapman.  Well, he's coming here in Manila for a concert on May 7 and I can't wait to see him even only from a distance. hehe I hope he'll bring Shaohannah with him too :)  I'm not really a big fan of him but I think I'm getting there...hehe.  :)
 
Been thinking about my relationships lately...with God, family, friends and other people.  I think I'm not a 'social' type of person but thank God, He's been teaching me little by little about relationships... And it's one thing I've been reflecting about for the past week.  Quite emotional due to a series of circumstances.  I said goodbye to the office, feeling broken hearted thinking I'll be gone in a few weeks.  I've learned to love the place and the people.  Sigh.  I've heard sad news of death from people relatively close to my family.  Anyway, I remember the statement "life is all about relationships" in Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life.  I also remember "there's a time for everything" in the book of Ecclesiastes.  By the way, I didn't see the meteor shower two weeks ago but I was able to watch the Steven Curtis Chapman special episode of 1Cubed.  God is so sweet, no one beats His sweetness, I won a CD in a text contest.  I think He's kinda cheering me up for my failure to see any meteor shower that morning. :) 
 
I got the CD yesterday -- Steven Curtis Chapman All About Love Album.  According to Steven, it's an album about God's gift of relationships, a celebration of love and relationships, that's it.  This could be a wonderful exclamation point to God's message to me for the week.  Steven is such a sweet guy, each song is like a musical love note to Mary Beth.  I think you're not being biased, Mary Beth, when you said that your husband is such a superb wordsmith!  I strongly agree.  What more can I say?  Hmm... I'm just enjoying my new CD for now.  Dear God, thank you for relationships -- such a wonderful gift! :)
