YOU complete me

-


In the midst of the desire to achieve serenity and solitude at the end of a very stressful work week. There is at some point, a failure to get what you really wanted -- A peak of at least one whole day of perfect solitude.

Ideally, Perfect Serenity for me is spending a day in a place where no one else but God can intercede.

Maybe at a top of a mountain with the clear blue skies, watching the stars majestically do what they are designed for or in the middle of an Island, surrounded by the clear waters of the sea, while you listen to the sound of the waves. Spending it with the most important person in your life is better but it'll be fine if I'm at it alone.



But in this real world, if you are a person pursuing a career, you cant just go out of town and do that. You cant easily sail away from this unwanted world in order to seek your solitude.

It'll take a lot of conscious effort, VL planning and everything. So we tend to revert our ideals to the ones we have physically and realistically available. Hoping that going out with friends, watching movies, eating out, drinking and partying out would free your mind and refill your hearts with the strength we needed to go on the succeeding weeks.



While we were all busy thinking and hoping that these temporary things are all we needed, I have learned that our hearts were created with an empty spot that neither our partners, family and friends can fulfill. He created us that way so that we continue to yearn for HIS love and keep on searching for HIM after we get tired of searching for something else.



Why would HE want us to feel empty? HE is a jealous God. "(Deuteronomy 4:24 NIV) For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." He wanted to feel needed and wanted, thus He allows certain circumstances to happen that would eventually bring us back to HIM.


We don't really need to be involved in an unusual or painful situation in order to realize that God is all we needed after all. All we need to do is Be still, for in quietness HE can make us feel HIS presence and HE can work on our lives and make us the better person we wanted tomorrow.


You Give me Hope..
You give me strength that I need..
You are all I need...

For 4 years, my Alma Matter was and still is the University of Santo Tomas .  There are a lot of reasons to be proud of this University. The Character built within each and every students who enroll in this campus are remarkable and I can say made us, Filipinos proud of our race.  For Centuries (400 years), Catholic catechism has been the basis of the University's teachings. When I took up Fine arts back in 2002, there are less lectures and more on hands-on drawings and labs. This means lesser class hours for Christian living lessons *sigh. Less time, but unforgettable teachings. How can I forget my professor, Mr. Cura? He was 65 years old back then, but still he was teaching. He was a real emblem of PASSION, PATIENCE. He was a real inspiration for everyone whom he shared his life with. Apart from the great teachings and lectures I had with Mr. Cura, the University's annual activities being held like "PASKUHAN" is one of the reasons why I dearly love my Alma Matte...

August 7, 2010 (Saturday) Lesson #1 Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away. Lesson #2 Mothers knows best . It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound...

Nothing else matters, nothing in this world will do. Jesus at the center, everything revolves around you. Jesus, You at the center of it all. -"Jesus be the center" by Israel Houghton and New breed. Woke up at around 6 o'clock in the morning and I was listening to this song in which I thought was very timely. I was playing over it again and again until I organized some valuable thoughts, experiences creating a microscopic organization of my life from the time I really let the Lord take over my life. Looking back at it, I can testify to one Truth:  that Jesus is a faithful God, He listens to prayers and gives us the desire of our hearts in a timely manner. There were prayers I once made such as prayer for family reconciliation, personal prayer for other people and personal prayers I made for me and gabby. These prayers, in time were answered without me even waiting for it. There's a prayer I once made which I thought would never happen because of unfor...
