I am going to consider this blog to be like when I was a dj on a college radio station. It was really cool but I figured no one was listening so I just said what I pleased. That worked out well, so I will just write what I please, enjoy. I really am going to use this blog to just tell about my songs on www.MargieWongMusic.com. God has blessed me with many, many songs and I have made two cds so far. The first song I will start with is All That Matters, the title song on my second cd. I was asleep around 11pm one night when I woke up hearing music. I was alone in the house and nothing was on, so I grabbed my guitar and wrote the music. Praying what is this song about, the lyrics came very quickly. All that matters, that Jesus is really all that matters in life. I know this so well to be true. I should be right now looking up from the pit of hell for all my ways, but because God is so gracious, kind full of compassion, He saved my life. I had seemingly everything. My own home, three kids, a husband who loved me, a job, money in the bank. Seemingly I had it all, yet inside I struggled endlessly with guilt, condemnation, a void that drove me to drugs, alcohol, self abuse and near suicide. I was addicted to alcohol for 18 years since I was 16. Even though God blessed me so much I couldn't get past my own attitude of guilt, that I wasn't good enough, everything I said and did was wrong, and I couldn't forgive myself. God heard my cries for help, my desperate need to know the truth of life, to know why I was here, what was I good for? He sent someone to my house one day, knowing I would never go to church again I was that disilllusioned with religion. This man came by one day to tell me about his new church down the street. Intriqued that he wasn't a mormon or jehovas witness I challenged him with questions that me being a Catholic never got satisfying answers for. He amazed me with his answers, so direct and his words literally burned in my stomach. He came back the next day and the next. The third time I was at his church in a small Bible study of only seven people, my world changed forever. The pastor was telling a story I heard all my life but this time was different. He was speaking on Adam and Eve and how when Adam went against God all of mankind was punished just like in the army when one soldier is wrong the whole platoon is punished. At that moment I saw Heaven. I knew the truth. I was forgiven. This huge weight was off my back, I felt lighter, I was crying and all I could say was "this whole Bible is true". I used to read the Bible and cry because I just could not understand it. Now I read it and it comes alive, it speaks directly to me. From that day on, Oct. 29, 1994, I never drank again, completely delivered from alcohol and drugs forever. The truth has set me free and now I live to tell others. God has given me the songs and the platforms and I have been preaching and reaching through music ever since.
