that's the title of the movie i've just watched... -sigh- it's a great movie.. whew! it made me cry many times... and whoa... whoa... whoa... one man.. changed the nation... because of his intense love for his children... he did everything to get his children back... and that's because his motivation was love.. and so, all the children in Ireland will go back to their parents...

=]

whow.. one person... one person changed the destiny of many..
one person changed a nation...
he just fought for what he's heart is crying out..
he just fought for his kids..
he fought for his rights..
and wow...
even though he knew he'll be facing "goliath" he wasn't threatened.. he knew david beat him...
wow..
wow..
wow..
just because of love..

are you willing to fight for your rights because of love..?
are you willing to continue after the fall...? well, when they brought the case to the high court, they didn't won...
but they didn't lose hope... [even though they were hopeless.. one line there said, "I've seen hopeless people win battles" hope i got it right.. hehe]

and whow..
how much more if you're so much motivated by God's love...
what else can you NOT do..?
what else can you NOT endure..?
even though you don't know what the future might bring...
"if i lose, i'll be unemployable" said his lawyer...
"if you win, you're gonna be immortal.. you'll be chaning history! you'll be in history books!" said the retired lawyer, who became their consultant...

how's that..?
you'll be immortal..
not in its literal meaning..
you'll be with Christ for eternity if you fight for it... and you'll win.. surely...
God never loses a battle..
losing and failing [i think] is not in God's vocabulary.. =p

i was also touched by what Desmond Doyle [the lead role] said... he was bein' asked something like this, "our model is the holy family.. how can you raise your kids if you're only the one raising them..?" [his wife left him, she left with another guy..]
and then there was silence...
and then he broke it..
he said, [something like]
"there is... there is a way... the Holy Trinity can help you... [something like that].. the Holy Spirit will fill you with love... that's why i gave up drinking because i want to be filled with love..."
he even mentioned the verse, "three things remain.. faith, hope and love... and the greatest of these is love..."

wow..
-tears-
and wow..

i've been really touched..
and wow..
thanks to that one who lend me that dvd.. hehehehe ; )
it's been a long time since he lend me that dvd.. and ngayon ko lang napanood.. how's that diba?
hehehehehehehe

hoooh!


ONE MAN CAN CHANGE A NATION.. ONE MAN CAN CHANGE THE DESTINY OF MANY...
IF HE WILL ONLY FIGHT FOR HIS RIGHT NO MATTER HOW BIG GOLIATH IS...
IF HE WILL ONLY ENDURE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HE FAILS...
IF HE WILL ONLY ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO EMPOWER HIM...
IF ONLY LOVE WILL BE HIS MOTIVATION..

=)

Issues of the mom-heart

By
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.
