i refused to be discouraged...

I refused to be discouraged
To be sad or to cry
I refuse to be downhearted
And here's the reason why
I have a God who's mighty
Who's soveregin and supreme
I have a God who loves me
And I am on His team
He is all wise and powerful
Jesus is His name
THough everything is changeable
Me God remains the same
My God knows all that's happening
Beginnign to the end
His presence is my comfort
He is my dearest friend
When sickness comes to weaken me
To bring my head down low
I call upon my mighty God
Into His arms I go
When circumstances threaten
To rob me from my peace
He draws me close unto His breast
Where all my strivings cease
And when my heart melts within me
And weakness takes control
He gathers me into His arms
He soothes my heart and soul
The great "I AM" is with me
My life is in His hand
The Son of the Lord is my hope
It's in His strength I stand
I refused to be defeated
My eyes are on my God
He has promised to be with me
As though this life I trod
I'm looking past all circumstances
To heaven's throne above
My prayers have reached the heart of God
I'm resting in His love
I give God thanks in everything
My eyes are on His face
The battle's His, the victory is mine
He'll help me win the race...

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully. Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression. I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ... The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God. To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Thoughts

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
