Mang-aawit (Choir member)

People often ask me, “What’s it like being a choir member?”
Well, it’s not always easy. Being a choir member takes discipline.

It means choosing to show up even when facing my own personal battles, because my purpose is not my own, but God’s. To sing praises to God is all I have ever known to love and treasure since I was young, and the older I get, the more thankful I am for this gift.

With every performance, I am reminded of how patient and loving God is. Even when I reach my physical limits, I emerge spiritually stronger, braver, and ready to face the world. Whenever I put on my uniform, hold my hymnal, and close my eyes—praying to God—all of my exhaustion fades away. Once again, God has shown His mercy to me. Each lyric I sing is an echo of my heart, and together, in united harmony, we as choir members dedicate each melody to sing to the Father for all of His goodness.

So when people ask me, “What’s it like being a choir member?”
It’s a blessing. It’s my way of fighting through life. It’s choosing God first—always—and trusting that every sacrifice has a purpose.

And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems; live in vital union with him. Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done.

Colossians 2:6-7

So then, my dear friends, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless.

Proof that the greatest things in life are not things at all. Experiences, laughter, and above all, faith - that’s true wealth.

Much needed deep talk 🤍

Listen closely to my prayer, O God. Hear my urgent cry. I will call to you whenever trouble strikes, and you will help me. ... so look down in pity and grant strength to your servant and save me. Send me a sign of your favor. When those who hate me see it, they will lose face because you help and comfort me.

Psalms 86:6-7 & 16-17

God says, “I heard your prayers at the right time, and I gave you help on the day of salvation.” I tell you that the “right time” is now. The “day of salvation” is now.
