I Am Content With Him

Kind of not feeling well going to work but I can't. I have to drag myself involuntarily because I don't have a choice. I have to work to make ends meet. I am thankful that God was been threading me all the time. I am lucky for having Him look out for me. Eventhough I am not feeling well, He will be there to make everything better. Thank you Lord for being there all the time despite some times that I have no motivation to get going. I thank You for sustaining me everytime I lose hope. You gave me the chance to make it up and make everything and everyone feel better. You are my Almighty Lord!

Spending Quiet Times

I am off today and I have nothing in my agenda. Just doing house chores and that is. Maybe reading a good book and contemplate on the things that had happened the past days and be thankful about it. Normally, I always make some goals daily but I don't know what had happened the past years and I have stoppe ddoing it. My life was been just pretty simple these days. Maybe getting old had a toll on me. I still don't get it actually. I'm more of enhancing my intelectual prowess rather than enhancing my physical prowess. I have no complaints though because I am content with my life lately. God was been good to me and I have no qualms with Him. I am grateful for everything I had and in times of my days off I always contemplate and thankful about the blessings I've got each day with no complaints. Thank you Lord for being there everyday of my life protecting and guiding me of what to do despite of some inopportune moments I still do well with You.

We Need One Another

We need each other as we serve the Lord, With all the workers equal to their tasks, No matter if the jobs are large or small, For faithfulness is all the savior asks. - Hess Even the smallest work done for Christ has great value. The Peterson ranch in Wyoming is framed mile by mile of fencing. Not only is the entire spread fenced in, Clyde Peterson has it subdivided with barbed-wires so he can move the cattle from section to section. A single grazing spot may be bordered by as many as 600 fence-posts. Each cedar post is important. If one is knocked down, the entire herd can escape over the fallen section. The same principle holds true in other areas of life. If one machine breaks down, the whole assembly line grinds to a halt. If one screw drops out of a carburetor, the car runs erraticaly. If a single microchip fails, an entire computer system may malfunction. As one single fencepost is crucial to the rancher, you too are important to God - and to the rest of us! - DCE

Feeling The Spirit

It's been a while that I haven't blog here. There's a lot of things that had happened in my life that hinder me to go back here and blog. There's some opportunities though for me to do it but I was just lazy to do it. Proscrastination is one thing that kills everything and I am the only one to get blamed. My big apologies to every one for my lagging off attitude. I owe you a lot guys. Rest assure that I am doing well despite of the many changes that had happened to me. I still don't forget to pray and asked God forgiveness and thanks for every thing He did to me. I owe Him a lot big time for making me strong and steadfast in every challenges that I faced. I am really indebted to all that had prayed for me and wished me well. I am stoked for all those kind gestures and again my ENORMOUS THANKS TO ALL!

Ready To Believe

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." --Matther 21:21-22

 My prayers do not always reflect a faith of true believing, Lord. I find myself asking without faith in the outcome, without fully trusting that You are listening. Fill my heart with faith that leaves no room for doubt. Let my questions be those of a seeker desiring a deeper relationship with You, rather than those of a person who places obstacles between my life and the One who made it.

 As I practice the discipline of prayer, may it make me ready to receive all that is good, holy, and of You. May my lips never release words that are not lifted up in faith.

A Song Called Luck

It seems that I am still numb about what had happened last week. I just want to burry it in my remote mind but still it keeps flashing back in my forebrain. Life is not that easy for me nowadays.

I am not complaining but I am greatly affected by how life was been treating me lately. I know there is a reason why it happened but I still couldn't fathom it. I am really confused and disoriented about it. God please help me to overcome it. Yes, it hurts but I have to accept the fact that it already happen and seared my dignity and ego. I am not whole again.

I remember this song way back home popularized by a gigolo singer which really emanates a very servile lesson in me. It may serve you a lesson, too, but I don't know if it will affect you. The song is titled as "Kapalaran" which is translated in English as "Fate".

Bakit ba ganyan ang buhay ng tao? Merong mayaman, may api sa mundo. Kapalaran kung hanapin ay di matatagpuan at kung minsan lumalapit ng di mo alam. O bakit kaya may ligaya't lumbay. Sa pag-ibig may bigo't tagumpay. Di malaman, di maisip, kung anong kapalaran sa akin ay naghihintay.

Why is it that the life of man has wealthy people and oppressed one on this earth. If we searched luck we couldn't find it and sometimes it will just appear unnoticed. Oh why is it there is joy and sadness? In love there is failure and success. I just don't know, can't think, what fate is waiting for me.

Such a meaningful song asking what will happen about life because honestly we really don't know what will happen to us, what our luck and fate is. We know there is a bad and good that will happen but we don't know which one will eventually come out.

In short, we are the ones who is really instrumental in making our own destiny. Our fate lies in our own hands. And we will be lucky is we can get a positive result although the negative result can give us life intimate lessons which can make us stronger and better as we exist on this world.

Life is very unpredictable. We should be on the alert all the time because we don't know what will happen in the future. Anticipation is the best thing for us to be prepared for what is to come. If we are prepared them the intensity of the hurt that we will feel will be lessened just in case we fail in our journey.

Life is not always about good and sweet promises. Life couldn't always promise us a rose garden. We have to know that life is always a mixture of good or bad, a combination of ups and downs, and a blend of darkness and daylight. We have to be attentive about it and anticipate on what to do.

As this song had inspired me I hope it will give us a lesson that life is not that easy. Looking for our own luck in this world is a challenge because life is complicated itself. Aaaah..... this thing called life is really a challenge.

A Godly Confidence

The strength to do what's right and true

God gives when we obey.

Providing faith for future trials

Because He knows the way.

As I spoke with afriend who had just learned that his cancer had returned, I commented on his remarkably upbeat attitude. He responded by saying that the Lord always gives His people the inner strength they need to face each trial. My friend likened what the Lord was doing in his life to a car owner who makes sure that the tires have enough air pressure to enable them to carry a heavy load and roll safely over big bumps on the highway. He expects the Lord to give him exactly what he needs to face each test until He brings him safely Home.

This wonderful assurance is enjoyed by believers who live in obedience to the Lord. In Psalm 41, David said that the person who "considers the poor" is blessed with the awareness of the Lord's presence in his time of illness. In verse 12, David referred to his integrity as he spoke of his confident anticipation of God's future blessing. Was he saying that his kindness and integrity earned God's favor? No, David saw himself as a sinner in need of God's gracious forgiveness. But his awareness of God's presence now and his assurance about the future were tied to his obedience to the Lord.

Godly conduct does not earn God's favor, but it does give us a foretaste of heaven in the here and now. -HVL

You can be confident about the future

if you walk with God in the present.
