Ocean Floor
"Ocean Floor" ~Audio Adrenaline
so today, neilson and i went for a walk to that "Sutro-" place. it was rEALLY nice. we saw lots of green and lots of blue. it was actually quite amazing to me how everything looked so much greener and bluer today. not exactly sure what it was. anyways...
one of the most aweing thing of that walk was looking out at the huge ocean. it was so vast. my head had to make almost a 135-degree turn to see the extent of the horizon (horizontally :D). (<-- dunno if that made sense..basically imagine looking out at the ocean and turning your head almost a 135-degress and seeing nothing but the blue ocean reaching outward farther than you can see... tHAT's the kind of vastness we were witnessing.) this song popped into my head. probably because it's associated with that giant body of water. that giant body of water though is a very awesome image of what God does to our sins.
"they're all behind you, they'll never find you, they're on the ocean floor..."
"your sins are forgotten, they're on the bottom of the ocean floor"
"your sins are erased, and they are no more..they're out on the ocean floor"
"they're wiped away by a mighty mighty wave, A MIGHTY MIGHTY WAVE!!"
all those things that we feel stick to us and weigh us down beyond anything and everything..God comPLETELY wipes them away! its so amazing. God allows us to have nothing hold us back-- even what we could never touch: our past, present, and future. imagine you, standing and completely weighed down by everything that you hate. from behind you though, a tsunami-wave that's come specifically to take away all of that.. ahh its really cool.
neilson (right next to me): it's interesting. what went through my head was the extent to how deep the ocean actually is. there are parts of the ocean that are so deep that even light cannot penetrate it. that's REALLY deep.
anyways, hope ya'll can praise God somehow with this song. vivian, can you please make a post replying to this song, cuz i know you really like this song and i'd really like to hear what you have to say :]. yeah. kay, see ya'll!

It's scary to think that there will be a day when we get to heaven and we see God and He'll bring out long list of all the things we've done wrong. I love this song because it reminds me that the nightmare will never happen. All of my sins are forgotten, they're on the bottom of the ocean floor.
God is NOT keeping score of our faults.
No one should cuz even God doesn't.
I love how that girl drops the shell in the ocean at the very end, symbolizing that she has chosen not to let her past tie her down anymore.
I struggle with thinking about what-if's and it
really chokes me.
Philippians 3:13-14 says:
No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
