other side of the world

Today was one of my “normal” Zombie-lized days. I didn’t sleep last night. So the feeling is like you’re seeing nothing out of the twilight. Everything seems like a motion. Sometimes I do hope everything just pause for awhile. And lemme have my quietness.

And that comes along when I was in the car. The audio is playing Nikita latest album. A fervent Christian artist and celebrity who proudly embraced by my Indonesian-dominant cell members. I enjoy her fleshy voice and my cell members all into a movie’s jokes. All laugh and loud. I was just sitting there let my mind wondering around.

Wondering around in a vacuum of thoughts or maybe I should put I don’t know what I was thinking. Just hanging there. It finally landed when Nikita sing a familiar tune…

“Into Your hand,
I commit again,
With all I am,
To You, Lord.”

“You hold my world,
In the palm of Your hands…”

And I began to tear. The jokes and laughter is still going on. But the other side of the world which is me is wiping. Ever since the beginning of 2007, I start off my year with my head bang on the big wall. And along the way, things keep falling down. Yet, I saw Him stand still. Every words of the song are true to the core of my inner response. What a settled peace I have found in God. It is not the first time my tear burst out when singing this song. Is my favorite. It has the irreplaceable intimacy that bridges me to Heavenly Father in His comforting hands. And knowing… that He cares.
