Formative Trio

There are 3 things that has been formative of my life. I am establishing the fact that God has used these things in His sovereignty to shape me to be what I am today.

It has been very much so since I was a little kid I always wanted to come to America and to live here and to experience what I hear from relatives that are here, as well as what I see in TV. I always believed that I will one day come to America and because of this belief, I lived a life so very differently from my friends because I know that my life back home was not going to be temporary and that I will come to the land of opportunity. Now that I am here, God did not waste a single minute of my life with all that I anticipated and He took me and molded me in ways I never thought possible. America is not what I had expected to be like, there has been more rough parts than smooth ones but God's faithfulness is greatly shown through all these years.

I am ever grateful to a friend in church that has been an encouragement in regards o my passion in music. It was him that guided me in my creativity and introduced me to the world of music and the implements that came with it. But one of the best thing that he did for me is introducing me to DC Talk. I knew the moment I listened to DC Talk, I was instantly hooked. But more than anything, my diligence to DC Talk has led me to my way of life as DC Talk has successfully shown me God in a different light. The words from the lyrics of DC Talk has shaped my theology as a young teenager and to look to God with such perspectives that has today lingered on. DC Talk was a tool that God used to show me His love and grace that comes in forms that was from the traditional. Even as young teenager, I was not fully comprehending the words in their lyrics but today I begin to see a little more of it being lived out within the context that I am in.

I see how little kids get so influenced by the things they see on TV and the moment I got out of childhood, my alter ego show itself on my doorstep in a character that caught hold of how I will see life. My personality was very much shaped by the underlining character of Batman and to all how my mind works. Today, Batman's persona is going towards a more darker and distant from what I am heading towards in my life but Batman will always be how I find my nature in and I owe it to this character to how even God is being revealed in this life.
