First Piece to My Soundtrack Memory

New Broken Heart
Inspired by: “What Can Faith Do” by Kutless

Lyrics that I like:
Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you’re stronger, stronger than you know.

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

    I am sitting in a boring class yet once again and listening to my teacher talking about the Missouri Compromise. As the class ends, I go to lunch and get ready for the next class in English. My middle school life has always been repetitive and boring. There was no surprise, no excitement, no nothing. Everyday I wake up, wash up, eat, ride the bus, and go to school. Once I’m at school, I go to class, onto the next one, eat, have bathroom break, back to class, then back to bus and home. I started to wonder, why my life is so casual and no different from the kid who sits next to me in English class. Well, all that changed soon, too soon.
    When I was in 8th grade, I came home and everybody in my family didn’t look too good. I thought it was just because they had bad day, so I didn’t really care. I ate and took shower and came out to the living room. Suddenly, my parents and brother gathers around and tells me that mom was diagnosed positive for breast cancer. I was devastated when I heard it. “Everybody falls sometimes”, but I never though I could fall down this badly. For next few days I was depressed and worried. I prayed and prayed silently for hours for those days, but there was no answer. I needed to “find the strength to rise”, but I couldn’t find any, at least not until the Sunday of that week.
    I was a Christian and a firm believer since I was born, or I remember at least. I went to church every Sunday and never missed out. Somehow, the worship and praise of that week was the most blessing and helpful worship of my life. It was then I heard this song. When I praised “And I've seen miracles just happen, Silent prayers get answered
, Broken hearts become brand new, That's what faith can do”, I realize something. I realized that even though there was no answer from God right at that moment, as long as I believe in him and have faith in him, everything will be okay. Just like the lyric said, my silent prayers were answered just after a week. “From the ashes”, we rose back up and believed that my mother will be just fine. After surgery and treatment, she was completely cured from breast cancer.
    Many people say that it was the doctors and the expensive technology that cured my mother. It may be true and it probably is true, for them at least. For me, after listening to this song, I believe that my strong faith in God has cured my mother. This is a song that changed my Christian life and saved my mother.
