I chose happiness

today, i choose to be happy and free myself with guilt and hatred. i choose not to think of those who are a pain in the ass and refused to be bothered by their selfish acts. instead, i choose to think of those people who stayed kind amidst my selfish acts, those whom i believe deserve better attention, respect and love. today i choose to be happy and will crawl my way to reach out to that much deserved solace in life. :) -written from my iphone. thinking of you before i sleep :)

For my Living Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me . 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. This verse made me look back and think about the past. Hurtful pasts, through which when taught about today made me realize how much the Lord had shown compassion amidst the times I walked away from His love. He is the shepherd I SHALL NOT WANT but I NEED. HIS ROD and HIS STAFF were my comfort as HE straighten the path I must go. Now His mercy and goodness is with me all the days of my...

A proud mom's note

Cant help but get too emotional, my little girl's going to school! Its not like its her first time being away and all, as a matter of fact she started attending Sunday school at the age of three, she had her summer classes just this April. But seeing her in her school uniform, with her school bag and all her notebooks, pencils etc just made realize that my daughter's growing up and she's growing up fast. She's a very witty and intelligent girl. Looking at her, while waiting for her school bus suddenly made me realize that I have to have a big dream for my little girl because she simply deserves it. There are a lot of things, wonderful things awaiting her as she grows up and I MUST equip her so she can be the best that she can be. As they all say, the reason behind every child's success is a wonderful mom. I guess that's where my dilemma started.  I knew in my heart that she'll be better than me when she grows up. She's more sweet, more loving and wise...

WHOIS 'DAD'

Dad its a universal term most commonly used to convey a lot of persona, mostly used for male. Once a year, I write blogs about Dads, Fathers, Papas to convey the appreciation I have for their dedication and their stability, in every sense of the word. You don't really need to have a genetic relationship with one child in order to be considered a father. Nowadays, Father is commonly given to those who had shown responsibility as seen and reflected over their lives. I knew a couple of people who acts as if they are one of those dads reminding a kid of what to do and not to do, well in fact they are just friends . There are  cool dads  who managed to balance work and  family life. There are  young-at-heart-dads who act as if they're too young to have a kid only to find out they actually have not just one, but two. :) There are those dads you knew existed, but haven't seen them (at least for quite sometime) and there is one Dad (Jesus Christ...

Ordinary people.. (not)

In my walk of life, I was blessed enough to bump into different types of people whom I was able to manage quite well. They are just like those ordinary people we take a jeepney ride with everyday going to school,  just like those people we ride at MRT when we go to work. Just like those we see everyday at the office. With the many people I see everyday, not all of them I get to notice and got the chance to know. Some people somehow are bought closer by destiny to play a special part in my life. Some of them taught me great lessons, some of them are just meant to hurt , thus made me stronger. And some of them are meant to put a smile in my heart to remind me that life is worth smiling for. These seemingly ordinary people , becomes extra ordinary when you allow them to play a part in your life. But then again, you'll never know which ones lasts for a lifetime until you invest time and effort in knowing them more. Oh well, at least there are those people who are mean...

What a Perfect day!

Everyday, when you feel Jesus' presence is such a perfect day. Things around you may seem chaotic and blurry. You may feel the stress is all over your body to the point that it eats up your whole system. Well I tell you, that's how life in this world works.. As  Colossians 3:2 says : "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Meaning, when we feel we cant get by the things happening around us. Take time to be still and feel God's presence. Quiet time with Jesus is just like the Quality time we were pursuing with our loved ones. However, there is a big difference..- The ones spent with Jesus is eternal. :) HAPPY TUESDAY!

CCF online for this Sunday!

I wasnt able to visit CCF Church last Sunday because of  overtime requirements, so I decided to browse through their website and  listen to God's words as soon as I wake up early Monday morning. I was able to watch this sunday's service through this link:( http://www.ccf.org.ph/through-brokenness/ ) and they talked about INTIMACY THROUGH BROKENNESS. Pastor Bong talked about the opporutnity of intimacy through trial times. The Bible verse from Genesis focused on Jacob, and how he struggled for God's blessings even though God has already promised blessings over his brother Esau. The summary of this service touched my heart as I openly admit that I, myself struggled over with what God wanted to establish into my life eventhough I knew in my heart, He has greater plans for me. Then I was reminded of this bible verse from Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you ...
