FROG

Did I tell you that? How many of my own words do I need to eat? " But—Lord— You KNOW ME! I can’t do that!" I am whining. I know it and He knows it. Can’t seem to stop myself though. He leans over and whispers... "I’m not asking YOU to do it. I will do it. All I want from you is an open heart and mouth."

I am humbled. Tears swell and fall. "Okay Lord." I should have known.

Total insecurity in me...and fully relying on Him.

Isn’t that where He wants us all to be? Fully—Relying—On—God. F.R.O.G.

I think of that every time I see a frog. Can’t help myself. I feel like a hopping toad at times. He causes me to realize where all my strength lies. At the foot of the cross. Without the cross...I wouldn’t be here today.

What are you balking at today where He wants you to submit?

Are you backing up a bit–thinking you can’t? When He says, through Me, You can do all things.

Tears just fell as I was reading this devotional.. . Didn't post the entire devotional.. .just some striking lines.. . I just feel like I have to meet so many deadlines.. .have to do lots of things.. . but I need strength.. . yes I do.. .experienced that for the past years.. .but still.. . sometimes I'm backing up a bit - thinking I can't.. . -deepest sigh- just feelin' guilty realizing that He had given His all.. .for me to doubt?!?! shame on me.. . but I still thank Him for continuously convincing me that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.. .

just wanted to be a frog - Fully Relying on God.. .

Lord, I just ask for peace.. .
Increase my faith.. .
I believe it is done.. .
No worries.. .

it's been like 3 or more weeks... since we passed our manuscript for our final defense... and the submission of the final copy [hard bound] is october 12 [which is next week...] and guess what... our schedule for final defense has been moved.. and moved.. and moved... and moved... the final defense is supposed to be today.. but yesterday, the secretary told my thesismates that the chairman of the panel [our beloved dean] is not available today... so she said, it would be on friday [but IT'S STILL NOT SURE....] and one professor joked at them saying, " octoberian na kayo.." whew.. [ tapos marami pang gagawin dun after the final defense.. =j -sigh- but i'm not worrying on those stuffs...] i don't believe that.. i believe that God's going to do something great.. but i don't know how.. i don't know when.. but one thing's for sure... He's never late... He's always on time.. -sigh- but sometimes.. honestly... i just don't know what to do....
