If leaders are to survive,
they must view the difficult as commonplace,
the complex as normal.

hmmmmm.. hehehe... i like that line.. =)

hmmmm... how's me..? well, i know i'm doing great.. in a few hours magdu-duty na ko... sa ER... kumusta naman...
and somehow i'm great...
last week, i was really struggling... parang i can't live like this... hehehe... parang ayoko na may aagaw ng oras ko for Him... and specially sa ministry... parang kung ang pagduduty ay makakapag-hinder dun... parang wag na lang amgduty... pero some people napapagsabay naman ang work at ministry diba..? hehehehe

i wrote something nga nung 1st day ng duty... [kala nga nila natutulog daw ako.. e nagsusulat ako...]

Lord, can i live like this? Hooh! all my life ganito yung magiging takbo ng buhay ko... hmmm.. mukhang di pa ko prepared to work... i mean may times na yung ministry medyo di ako makakaattend or magiging present... parang Lord, what do You want me to do? Please teach me how to love this job Lord...
Parang i can take it kung mission... pero kung mara-rob yung time ko for You, i don't think so... But then ministry pa rin po to... LOrd and i believe YOu called me for this one... Lord, naiiyak lang ako kase parang di ko kayang maging ganito... parang gusto ko pa na intindihin na lang yung youth... or magkaron ng job na 8-5 lang.. ganun.. -sigh- i don't know Lord.. i just can't accept it... But i know You can teach me how... how to be the "coffee"...
Lord... -sigh- teach me how to let go! yung i can let go of the responsibilities sa youth.. kase parang yun yung gustong-gusto kong gawin.... but i can feel that now is not the right time...
-sigh-
i don't know what to do Lord.. even what to feel.. parang kinakabahan ako na ewan... parang, ito na yung magiging work ko in the near future... Lord... teach me how to love this one... [another level] tanggap ko na po na ito ay calling ko... pero yung may mga "ganito", teach me how to react LOrd... how to accept and receive the "unwanted circumstances"
-sigh- L0rd...
LOrd... LOrd.. Lord...
Help me...

hehehe... then i just wrote songs... when you don't know what else to say... and you can't find the words to say.. just say the name... of Jesus...

meron pa pala kong sinulat...

pwede ba na your heart is for the youth pero minimal lang yung nagagawa mo? or you choose to do talaga your heart's desire...?

[my prayer]
LOrd, just open my heart for YOur real calling and for Your plans... grant me an obedient heart... and wisdom also.. on how to focus on what i'm doing... with what i have... i understand that these are preparations... help me overcome!

hooh! LOrd... hooh!

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.
