I don't know what the title of this blog will be.. . so i'll just leave it like that.. .

A friend once said that if you have a goal, all of your decisions must be inclined to that goal.. . but she said, that's just her own opinion.. . And I came to realize that she has a point indeed.. . If you want to be like this, why be like that, right?

I'm turning 23 in a matter of days.. . and when I was younger, it's easy to say that I want to be like this, I want to have this and that.. . but when you're this old, it seems like it's not that easy at all.. . Yes, I have my own dreams.. . I have my own desires but I need to make wise decisions as well.. . I need wisdom.. . and after that, I need to do my part and take that step of faith towards my dream.. . but it's hard.. .if you don't know God, who can you turn to? whew.. .

Good thing we can always trust Him and His Words.. . He said, For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.. .to give you hope and a better future.. .But there are times when the path is very cloudy and you can't see the road ahead.. . You just don't know if you're stuck up or you're still moving forward.. . things seem hard like you're lost and you don't know where to go.. . even the simplest thing that you can do --pray-- seems so hard.. . and all you can hold on to is His Grace --enabling you to endure one more day waiting for Him.. .His grace carrying you towards His very presence.. . His grace that keeps you going.. .

Yes, we can pray for God to grant us the desires of our hearts.. . but we need to take steps of faith as well.. .and sometimes that's what makes it hard.. . because we might take the wrong step.. .but all things work together for good.. . right?

It's hard to run your life alone.. . lest you'll end up nowhere.. . and sometimes we're just so worried about the future we don't know what's gonna happen next.. . Good thing He invented TRUST.. . In this journey, all we need to do is TRUST HIM -- He knows what's best for us! and He will give us the best! It's sometimes hard but what makes it harder is if we continue to mind those obstacles when we can always relax and trust Him ^^

Lord, I pray that You fill me with Your Spirit so that the eyes of my heart may be opened that I may know the hope of my calling.. .the riches of Your glorious inheritance.. .and the great power that comes from You.. that I may know You more.. .that I may know how wide, how high, how deep, how long Your love for me is.. .I also pray that You grant me wisdom, knowledge and spiritual understanding that I may obey you practically and that I may be strengthened to endure with patience.. . Make known to me Your plans.. .that I may walk towards it.. . bless the desires of my heart and lead me to do Your will.. . In Jesus' Name. Amen.

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.
