The love of a Brian Welch

Ever heard of a band called KoRn?

KoRn is an American nu metal band that originated from Bakershield, California. This

has been among the hottest bands around the globe in the mid 1990’s and early 2000s. If

you are a teenager and you don’t know which band this one is, better ask your older brother

or sister for they surely have something to say.

“The band's catalogue consists of nine consecutive debuts in the top ten of the Billboard 200,[3] including a compilation album, Greatest Hits Vol.1, and their untitled eighth album, released on July 31, 2007. To date, Korn has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, including 16.5 in the U.S.,[4] while earning six Grammy nominations—two of which they have won.” – wikipedia

KoRn has become popular for their obscene lyrics that mostly talk about death, suicide, sex, and other ungodly ideals. Such works definitely reflect the negative characters

of the band members. The teens were so crazy about this band. Go check it out in the internet.

Among the most important people rocking in KoRn was Brian Welch, also named “head”. Indeed,

Brian was like a lost sheep (you can find lots of information about this man in the internet too.) He

was so exposed to the sins of this world. He was once a dependant on methamphetamine, xanax,

and sleeping pills. This man used to sing and play the guitar to worship the god of this world, and surely,

he was completely out of the way before.

Who would’ve thought, that a person like Brian will get a new way? Few years ago, his

mouth is like a spring of stinky words of satan, but now, he utter a never-ending thanks

for the grace that he has received from above.

Brian, before taking a walk with Jesus Christ, had a lot of heartbreaking decisions to

make. He had to leave the band that he has been with for more than a decade. He had to

turn down the multi-million projects ahead. He had to get rid of the fame and wealth

that are promised to him if he’ll just stay with the band. All of these. , he gave up for

Christ. ..– page 8

Loving someone you hate

Such a hard task to consider isn’t it?

Have you ever experienced it when somebody seems to push himself/herself to you to the extent that even an innocent child would tell you at his high pitch accent- “is he okay? Don’t you think he likes you?” So obvious that you just can’t get enough of the annoyance.

Have you ever been annoyed that way? How did you handle it? Or perhaps, how are you handling it?

Some people may not have the capacity to hide their feelings. One of your suitors might be like that. You might have felt like you are being stalked by someone who knows every detail in your resume, back to back. He/she even browses your friendster account everyday! It’s like if ever this person is right in front of you, you would probably pull out his eyes because of the dangerous obsession that he is actually having in you. But, would you do that? I guess not!

You might be trying to be nice to this person because you think that it is the right way to do and as a God-fearing child, you do not want to hurt anyone’s feeling. But then, when the level of annoyance rises each day, how can you get rid of getting sick of it?

Sometimes, you just pray to God every morning that you will not see this person for the whole day. However, does getting rid of that person would make it right? You see, a sickness can be cured temporarily with a tablet of a drug, but in time, the sickness will get back. What is necessary then is to get into the root and pull it out!

What I am trying to tell you is to talk to the person face to face and tell him/her the truth in the gentlest way you can. The emotions are uprooted from the heart and mind, so you need to make a way to see both through. Talk as if you are a brother or a sister. You see, God has made us all, and we all come from God. No matter what the arguments are, the truth that “we are brothers and sisters” will never be trashed. The loved ones in your house are not your only family, you belong to God’s family, even the person you hate.

How will you do the conversation? When talking to this person, bring your attention to the image of your “loved one” seated before you. Recognize that you label him/her "loved one" and think well of her. Now realize that there are some people in this world who do not like your “loved one”. Most people may even hate your “loved one”. They may have hated your “loved one” because of the color of his/her skin, gender, religion, or even the tone of voice. Some may be jealous of his/her abilities, or her possessions. For whatever reason, think that due to the imperfection of your “loved one”, some people consider him/her as an enemy.

Later on, you can bring your attention to the image of an "enemy," or a "disagreeable person." . He is imperfect. So are you. But no matter how imperfect he is, that person on the other side of him is a perfect father, brother, teacher, and friend. You see, he is not bad at all!

People are imperfect. You are imperfect. No one has the right to condemn anybody. Why won’t you try loving someone you hate. Consider him/her as a family. There might be a perfect reason to hate him/her but behind that disagreeable person are greater reasons to love him/her. No perfect love has ever been available for everyone except the one given from above. We must not hate a person no matter how annoying he/she is. He is not perfect, neither you. But God loved you even if you are imperfect.

Do not fall for the wrong one………

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.

But how can one keep warm alone?

From page 1………. the love of a Brian Welch

If you are Brian, would you do the same? Well, you’ll never know it, until you experience what he has experienced, until you find what he has seen, until you feel what‘s tugging inside of him. Experiencing God in our life is a complete mystery, but nothing feels better than that. There are many “Brian Welch” in this world who are imperfect and weak, yet, God can reveal Himself to any lost sheep. Noone is bad enough to God if you are willing to let Him take control of your life.

YOUR COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!

My Smile

It’s February, and Valentines is already in the air. Now let me ask you a question, can you already feel the warmth of the month of love?

In my elementary, we used to have this book where we could at least know each other just a bit and could share some secrets about our crushes and “firsts”(first kiss, first love, first hug, and everything). And sometimes, our own description about love is expressed on a page of it.

With the mind of a naive child, love can be defined as that of a rosary that is full of mystery. Others would say that love is time and time is gold that is why, love is time. And sometimes I smile with the thought of someone defined love as ‘You’ and wrote it in my slam book.

It is such a sweet memoirs of mine as an innocent child who haven’t got any chance to experience the real meaning of love; even through my family nor friends. But as time is ticking in

life, a new page about love is constructed in my inner view.

Though my eyes still sparkle innocence, slowly, they open to the realities of life- lies, brutality, fake faces, pain, lust, jealousy, tears, and brokenness. However, what hurts me so much about these realities is that they revolve around one thing, and that is to love.

In my past I always consider everyone as my friend, closest each one to me, yet they still hurt me. Even those people, whom I thought I will never feel that way, still gave me that discomfort that I never would want to experience again. And that made myself be aloof to other people, even myself. And I keep thinking of looking for someone that would at least show me a new meaning of it, which would be exactly the opposite of what I knew.

My heart went numb for a moment to what they call love and suddenly noticed several people having several strands of their hair covering their dark lined eyes and the new fashion enveloping everything that is in them. And little by little, I remember the memoirs of my broken innocence; where I had myself keeping my heart with the darkness of sadness that is before me and the longing for someone to love, and to love me back.

Just like with what I saw on the picture. It’s is actually a cartoon of a boy holding his heart, with his chest opened, offering it to the girl. Or with the one phrase that says, “I’ll never accept life if not because of you…” With everything that I perceive, my thought about love became extremely confusing and head breaking making my life miserable. Deep in me, I prayed that somehow, God would make His way for me for I am already hurting and falling.

But at the time where I am on bended knees, looking for that happiness and the real love that I’m looking for, someone stretched His hand for me, offering a love that has no boundaries, no doubts and no buts. A love that is kind and patient, and never would be covered with jealousy, boast, pride, or being rude. It is true and is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, trusting and would never fail; a love that I never thought of existing. And for the first time, I smiled. And now, I am… still.

A Perception

I don’t have worth, neither do I have any

I haven’t even had the chance to impress people around me

I am just a man wandering around

Yet, You hold my hand and express Your love

I am broken, yet your blood filled the gaps

I am dirty, yet your own hands cleaned it up

I never have done any to deserve what I have

But all I know is that, to never let go of that

Slowly, I could smile and my life has its change

Because of this sweet love that’s infinite and true

With the scar of a nail and the blood of a lamb

That gave the real meaning of love

That’s in me right now -nozomi-

How Powerful Is Love to Change You?

They say that when you’re in love with someone, your life will never be the same. Everything is bright. Everything that you’re doing has a direction. You’re life is full of meaning. And when the going gets tough, you still have the energy to keep pushing through until you finally overcome. In spite of the storm, you will learn to smile and shove away the burdens with just a thought of that special someone who keeps you alive inside. Oh, how romantic isn’t it? And most of all, you never thought that you will become a better person you’ve never imagined you’re capable of becoming.

February is now approaching and I can feel that the big L is in the air. I’m not really a sentimental type of person nor into those mushy stuffs. This ain’t my type of personality, but that doesn’t mean I’m stone-hearted, far from that! In spite of my dominance, I still can’t hide my tenderness. I can’t help but show my concern and my longing to be with a person. You know that you are really in love when you know you are willing to give everything that you have. You are willing to give up all the things that are not pleasant for your loved one. No matter how hard it is, you’re willing to take the risk and pay the price even if it’s causing you to die inside. You really can’t love without getting your clothes torn or your halo askew, but this big thing that keeps pumping on your blood, its all worth the effort!

When I fall in love, I gave up everything. Personal ambition, my selfish needs, my own gratification. I even give up the need to be independent and in-control of my life. I used to hate my old self that keeps on hunting me like a nightmare. It cuts my heart with double-edged knife every time I look at her. But I don’t bother anymore because Someone is loving me more than I hate myself. I can’t explain the mystery of love. All I know, it is powerful enough to change me and became a person I never thought I could be. It was Him. And He’s worth all my love that I have for Him.

In love

I think I’m in love, I think I’m in love

I can see butterflies flying above

I can smell the scent of air that’s full of love

And blushing heart is the only thing I have

And as I kneel with my hands and eyes closed,

I just pray

That the One above

Would never let this feeling fade…

Fully Alive with LOVE

Once, I am “SO SICK” of this Life. But When I feel you “ALL AROUND ME”, I am so “FULLY ALIVE”.

To all emo freaks and music lovers out there, the titles might sound familiar to you as you hear them play on the airwaves. The songs are popularized with one of the hottest alternative rock bands, Flyleaf. They are so excited to announce on this year’s Rock on the Range Lineup! They will jam with other famous bands like Alice in Chains, Slipknot, Motley Crue, Avenged Sevenfold, and many more.

[pic]

Who would have thought that the band members, particularly the lead vocalist Lacey Nicole Mosley will reach the success they’ve never dreamed of in spite of her dark past? Imagine this girl who was already addicted to drugs when she was 10, is slowly taking away her innocence and live her world in chaos and confusion. This girl grew up very disturbed until such time that she suffered from nervous breakdown, which would have lead her to death. That was Lacey on her childhood.

Lacey didn’t deny her outspoken atheism as the emptiness inside her continues to grow. Her grandma began screaming at her and begs her to come to church. She admitted that she only attend the service for the purpose of pleasing her grandma. However, one time, she was reborn on the love she has found with our Savior.

In spite of her newfound faith, she still struggled with her purpose. But their music had a direction which brought the band closer together. Indeed, the life of Lacey Mosley is a great living witness of God’s love.
