MINDSET

This is what mind setting can do.. haha! simple but not easy.. .^^, but the results.. .wow... .

A pastor shared his experience with his daughter one day when he was about to drive them to school.. . it's Thursday.. .while waiting for her eldest daughter, her younger daughter said, "Aaarrrgggh!"

He asked why.. .

she said, "It's Thursday".. .

"So what's wrong with Thursday?" the father asked.. .

"Thursday is a double subject day!" the daughter answered.. .

The daughter doesn't like math.. .and every Thursday, it's a "double math day"

The father asked the daughter if they could agree with this.. .

"Every Thursday, you have to tell yourself: I'm going to learn something new about math today."

And so every Thursday, the daughter exclaims.. .

"Aaaarrrrggh.. . . I'm going to learn something new about math today,"

And the next grading period.. .the highest grade of his daughter is.. .guess what -- Filipino. haha nah.. .yes, it's math =)

haha!

was just reminded of this MINDSET thingy this afternoon.. .i'm really having a hard time studying.. . feeling ko walang pumapasok sa utak ko! arrgggh! hoooh.. .then I was reminded of this.. . MINDSET.. . it's simple but it's not easy.. .but hoooh Lord! I believe You can help me with this stuff =) this seems to be very easy for You.. . *looking up* =)

I just told myself.. .

I should tell myself everyday that I'm going to study and learn something new today =)
(yes.. .I have to remind myself to tell myself.. .haha!)

hooh Lord.. . grace.. .

it bothers me even more when I feel like i'm being overwhelmed with the exam.. .huhu.. .

buti na lang I can always hold on to this:
with God all things are possible.. .
with God on my side = VICTORY.. .

hindi ko naman inuuto ang sarili ko.. hehe that's faith.. .

*_*

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.
