Second piece to My Soundtrack Memory

Never Ending Faith
Inspired by: “Voice of Truth” by Casting Crown
Lyrics that I like:

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

    Everybody has that feeling in their stomach where they just know they can’t do it, whether it be a interviewing for a job, taking a MCAT, or taking SAT to get into college that they want. But, there’s always that depressing and self doubting feeling in our gut that keeps us away from retrieving our highest goal. Not only that, there’s a fear in our heart that keeps ourselves from reaching for our dream.
    However, did you realize that it always works out at the end? Even it may have taken us million times, it works out at the end. Did you realize that?
    I didn’t fully realize until I heard this song. I heard this song when I was in high school. I was taking my SAT on a gloomy Saturday. The weather was horrible, I had a bad headache, it seemed like nothing would work out. I thought to myself, would I be able to go to the college that I want?
    As I drove down that small smoke tree driveway to get to my SAT center, I listen to this song.  Even though I heard this song so many times, I never realized what lyrics meant, but somehow, on that day, the lyrics reached out to me.
    This wasn’t the matter of getting good SAT, or getting into the college I want. It was matter of listening and believing in God.
    Though there may have been obstacles during this day, I went to the SAT center and took my SAT. I will be perfectly honest, I wasn’t too good at taking SAT so my score didn’t even pass 2000, but I knew everything was going to be alright. I didn’t know where I really wanted to go honestly, but now I think about it, where I wanted to go was where God wanted me to go. God has put me in VCU and I am more than happy with it.
    I had GPA of 4.3 during high school, enough to get into better college. Some people asked me, “Why did you come to VCU?”, “You’re retarded for coming to VCU”, but I think not. I believe and I entrusted my life that day. To me, everything did work out. I came to college that I wanted, even though there was a “giant” standing before and laughing at me that day.
