bulletin board

My officemate and I were working on our bulletin board 2 hours before the shift ends last night.. . After sort of finishing it, it somehow dawned on me that I am no longer the person I used to be (artistic.. . talented.. .) it seemed like I lost a lot and became a nothing because I am (always) sitting in front of the computer.. . dialing.. . It showed me the things that I lack.. . and it made me think.. . Did He indeed abandon me?

Of course not! My God will never leave me nor forsake me! Every good thing comes from Him! There are times when the enemy will use our emotions (especially when we feel down) to make us quit, lose hope and forget our dreams.. . I was soooo down like I wanna cry.. . But these words (from my previous devotion) perked me up.. .Have you listened to what God is saying to You? If He says, He will never leave you, never will He! Because of His grace, I found myself hanging on.. . Because of His grace, I'm still able to walk on.. . and tell the enemy, Jesus loves me. He will never leave me nor forsake me.. . Then I began to worship.. .

It's sometimes hard when we can't find the right words to think of.. . thus we are commanded, whatever is pure.. .noble.. . true.. . right.. . think about such things.. . and it is indeed important to always keep on praying especially when you don't feel like praying.. . good thing there's always a voice within us that keeps on showing us the light and there's His grace lifting us up whenever we feel like falling.. . ^^,

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.
