God remided me once again through this song that prayer is the beginning of all things in a Christian’s life. All our dreams, projects, and plans have (or should have) prayer as the starting point. The craziest this image may seems to the world – Someone alone in a dark room kneeled by the bed, speaking aloud “to no one” while focusing his/her heart and thoughts on God – it reflects the most important step toward the goals we want to reach.
So, this song gave voice to everything that was in my heart today. Everything I wanted to say to God when I looked to 2010 I sang it many times through this song. It also brought many ideas which interwoven with each other in such a way that I had to come here and write this post and the next one. I pray and hope they may bless your heart.

Here is the lyrics and my translation for you to sing along and learn a little Portuguese.

VOU CRER / I WILL BELIEVE
Andre Valadao

Colocar minha fé em Ti
I will put my faith in You
Caminhar sem ao lado olhar
I will walk without looking left or right
Eu creio e confio em Ti
I believe and I trust in You
Não vou vacilar, não vou temer
I won’t hesitate, I won’t fear
Vou crer!
I will believe!

Oh Deus abre a porta para mim
Oh God, open the door for me
Ao lugar que tens só pra mim
To the plance You have just for me
Leva-me até o centro
Take me to the center
Do Teu coração
Of Your heart

Guia-me segurando em minhas mãos
Guide me while holding my hands
Carrega-me, quando não posso mais andar
Carry me when I can no longer walk
Protege-me, Leão da Tribo de Judá
Protect me, Lion of the Tribe of Judah
Não vou vacilar, não vou temer
I won’t hesitate, I won’t fear
Vou crer!
I will believe!

Oh Deus abre a porta para mim
Oh God, open the door for me
Ao lugar que tens só pra mim
To the plance You have just for me
Leva-me até o centro
Take me to the center
Do Teu coração
Of Your heart

De comunhão
Of fellowship

Here is the live version:

I’m also testing the new YouTube’s closed caption tool on this video. I hope you enjoy.

A brilhant TV ad from Apple first aired in 1997. Do you fit in the description?

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
Are the ones who do.
São as que o mudam.

The one-minute commercial featured black and white video footage of significant historical people of the past, including (in order) Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon, R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright, and Picasso. The commercial ends with a young girl opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her.
