i wrote this poem last friday, 15.07.2005... ang tanging naririnig ko lang e drums, guitar at bass... before that, sobrang sakit ng ulo ko.. but when i started writing... i felt relief.. relief from pain, headache, stress... then i looked at what im holding... a pen, paper... pencil.. then i made a graffiti..! then i searched me... what else do i have..?! God... His righteousness... His holiness.. His peace.. in the midst of my troubles, He's there... Jesus... in Him my future is secured.. pwedeng as of the moment sobrang ndi ko makita ung mangyayari kinabukasan... but i know who my God is..!

kung titignan, wlang kwenta ang tulang ito... hmmm.. eheheheh...after a long time, ngayon na lang ulit ako nakagawa ng tula... i continued to read and read and read... ganun naman ang mga poems diba...?! they are meant to be read... [malamang!]... then God made me realize something...

maraming bagay ng bumubuo sa sarili ko... ung environment ko... it adds to the color of my life.. minsan ndi ko man gusto un... minsan maingay un.. minsan ndi... one more thing is the inside of me.. emotionally... i may be tired... losing hope.. wanting to give up.. sobrang pagod na pagod na sa buhay... and what else to i have... ballpen, paper, pencil, graffiti.. kung titignan mo, my resources are only few... as in walang kwenta... and anong kaya kong gawin out of that..?! trash.. graffiti...but there's one thing that i still have... GOD sa gitna ng lahat ng nangyayari... sa gitna nung mga times na gusto ko nang bumigay... ng kaguluhan... ng pain... ng troubles... i've realized that i have a BIG GOD!!! He is a righteous, holy God who can give me peace... Jesus...He can comfort me in times of pain... He can give me hope even if i don't see things the way i want them to... He can make my future secured no matter what happens... what more can i ask for...?! and that makes my life complete... THAT MAKES MY LIFE COMPLETE

i surrender all...

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

By
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.
