How can I Keep From Singing (Acoustic) - Chris Tomlin

so these 4 songs have been on my playlist for over a month now. first heard them at Passion07. well, except the last one. heard that when See The Morning first came out. but im really loving this whole acoustic vibe (notice the 2 acoustic versions). been really itching to guitar lately. maybe cus i havent been able to drum much (yeah.. i actually miss scac a bit. drumming opportunities.. heh. and of course. no more music class in school. so that too!). and i've also felt that the drums restricts a lot. like... you need notes. well, not need. but it helps. and guitar is the most portable thing. and since i dont have a guitar (anymore/yet), the best i can substitute it with is listening to acoustic versions of songs and air strumming. =P then occasionally switching to the drum parts (air drummin'!), then back to air strumming. while my left hand pretends to be playing the chords. (i found all the acoustic version chords for all 4 songs). hah..
but yeah. more on the songs. the lyrics are.. amazing. even tho most of the lyrics are expressions of feelings/emotions by the composers/writers and not verses from the Bible, but it just touches my heart. expressing what i cant express with my own words. How can i keep from singing? there's so many things in life to be thankful of. i can't retain from singing! (and air guitaring!).
iunno.. maybe ppl call me naive in these cases. but is it necessarily a bad thing? i overheard some ppl in alumni hall today. they were talking about the difference between innocent and naive. i guess innocent is you havent been exposed to the negatives yet. but naive, you choose to ignore the negatives. i dont really see myself ignoring the negatives. more like there's too much positive that it overpowers the negatives! hence explaining how i am generally a happy person.

anyways, unity prayer was pretty awesome tonight. a chance to pray for our fellowships, campus, USC, other churches, government, the country.. etc! =) and met a few others from C4C and such. also really liked the personal prayer time we had near the beginning. im still struggling to be free. still one major thing holding me back. still debating whether to blog about this or not. maybe... in the near future. just maybe.
and i also prayed for scac. for coluni's coffee house 2mrw night. im kinda excited. just to be back and see how things are. if things have changed. and im guessing there'll also be a fair amount of ppl i dont know. cus not everyone's from T.O there. when a few ppl visited last weekend, it was pretty touching. the love of God was certainly there. so looking forward to 2mrw night! and of course.. saturday. TC REC meeting in the morning (yay!!! 9am. aw... so early?!?!) then hot pot with rents and god bros + god sis'! the few closer ones from my parent's fellowship that they counsel. it'll be good seeing them again. (haha.. i think i like being the 'baby' of the group. =P)

alright. its 2:30am. time to submit my compsci assignment (errr... i think the poster's quite the ugly. but it meets all criteria. so i'm submitting, but i refuse to post it on here. haha..) and head to sleep. one busy and excited weekend comin' right up! =)
