• I was going through all my sites: Myspace, Facebook, Xanga… realizing that I haven’t had much to say and wanting to shut them all down.  Why bother? all these are too personal to put up political commentary, too impersonal to write anything meaningful… And as of late, my life has been anything but noteworthy and exciting, only drab and filled with thoughts ranging from the altruistic to the quite unsavory.  And then I stumbled upon my brother’s blog, went to the YouTube link of my father’s video, and also found SoliX’s performance from last year’s Remnant Conference in America.  And that, along with another look at my father’s video and a gooooood talk with friends last night and a galvanizing Remnant Core message on Sunday… (yeah, you get the point)…

  To the one and only Team SoliX: I love you guys.  Our bond in Christ transponds beyond country borders, and thanks to the internet I was able to gain strength from some awesome brothers and sister in Christ, in Tokyo, LA, and NYC.  You as a team, you individually, may never know how much my heart yearns and prays for you and for the dream, the vision the Lord gave us and for which he continues to bless us.  My days, when they are heavy, are uplifted by your direct or not so direct presence in my life, but most of all by the unity which binds us, the same unity that binds us to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I was too busy crying during RCA to tell you… and too scared I would bawl in tears if I told you in person, but as a member of this team, in prayer and heart, as the daughter of our mentor and biggest championer, I couldn’t be more grateful for a bunch like you, and I have never been so proud.  May the name of Christ, may God alone, be praised.

  Praise You in This Storm

  words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

  I was sure by now, that You would have reached down

  and wiped our tears away,

  stepped in and saved the day.

  But once again, I say amen

  and it’s still raining

  as the thunder rolls

  I barely hear You whisper through the rain,

  “I’m with you”

  and as Your mercy falls

  I raise my hands and praise

  the God who gives and takes away.

  Chorus:

  And I’ll praise you in this storm

  and I will lift my hands

  for You are who You are

  no matter where I am

  and every tear I’ve cried

  You hold in your hand

  You never left my side

  and though my heart is torn

  I will praise You in this storm

  I remember when I stumbled in the wind

  You heard my cry to You

  and raised me up again

  my strength is almost gone how can I carry on

  if I can’t find You

  and as the thunder rolls

  I barely hear You whisper through the rain

  “I’m with you”

  and as Your mercy falls

  I raise my hands and praise

  the God who gives and takes away

  Chorus

  I lift my eyes unto the hills

  where does my help come from?

  My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

  I lift my eyes unto the hills

  where does my help come from?

  My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

  Chorus 

  SoliX - “The Storm”, Part I
   

  SoliX - ”The Storm”, Part II
   

  I’ve taken the liberty to translate the Korean praise song in the
  beginning of Part II:

  “Oh my soul, quietly look to only God.
  My lips will praise Jehovah.
  Only the Lord is my rock and my salvation.
  Only the Lord is my castle on a hill; I will not shake.
  My salvation, my honor – they are in God. 
  He is my shelter, the rock of my strength.”

  And if anyone loves the song as much as I do, (and considering that it’s praise, not just music) you can sing along to this version I made to match the tune )
  “Listen, my soul, quietly. Lift your eyes to God alone
  My lips will sing, sing praise to him, my Jehovah God.
  Only you alone preserve my life and only you are my rock.
  Only you alone are my fortress, unshaken I will stand secure
  My salvation, honor, glory; Lord they’re only found in you
  You shelter and comfort; I am strengthened, renewed~
  (Praise the name of Jesus, Jesus in my life~)
  Only you alone preserve my life and only you are my rock
  Only you alone are my fortress, unshaken I will stand secure.”

  Wish you all a brighter, purpose-driven day. 
  The Lord bless you and keep you.
