1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.


2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.


3Trust in the LORD and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.


4Delight thyself also in the LORD, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.


5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.


6And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.


7Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.


8Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.


9For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.


10For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently look for his place, and it shall not be.


11But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.


18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delighteth in his way.

24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand.

25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread.

34Wait on the LORD and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

39But the salvation of the righteous is in the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble.


40And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in Him.

-Psalm 37

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.
