All the people you can't be, all the things you can't have, and all the places you can't go to only gives you frustration and a whole lot of insecurities, look up to the One who gave up His life for you and is promising you an abundant life. You may not see the shower of blessings at first but in the end He will reveal the good work He has done in you. Just learn to focus on Him and immerse yourself in His love. One day you will realize how much you never needed to be anyone, anywhere or have anything.. because you have Him.

Even the closest people you know will take you for granted in your troubled times. The good news is this, people may fail you, but the God you serve, will always see you through.

I'm the kind of person who is fond of looking at the store glasses to see how I look but then what if I see on the reflection is my inward self, would I still look at it?

#FoodForThought

"Staring at your arms.. I long to see how it feels to be entangled in them and be so close to your chest giving me the chance to inhale your redolent scent. Those wide shoulders, oh how I wish I could run to them as my safe haven.. Your eyes.. are like a part of a constellation. A piece of something that sets out a majestic story. And those lips.. oh my.. those lips that I want nothing more than to tell me a compellingly different story when they meet mine. These ideations, sadly, are far from reality. So maybe like a lighthouse, I'll gape at your beauty from a distance.. and just keep yearning, maybe someday, every hope will turn into actual existence."

#Infatuation #Thoughts

I'm tired of feeling the same way again and again and again. Emptiness is my only constant visitor. Everything's been going fine. I guess.. Well, nothing is alarmingly out of hand. But maybe that is the point. I'm once again in the season of my life that nothing is up. Boring, dull.. monochromatic. I wanna travel. I wanna go on a roadtrip. I wanna see beautiful landscapes. I want to immerse myself in nature and feed my hungry adventurous soul. I want to take a 3 day vacation from school and chores. Go on a retreat. Admire creation and most especially spend time with my Creator.

WOW, JUST... WOW.

Holidaze.

It's not a holiday today but it feels like one. I don't have classes to attend to, school work to worry about, and house chores to do. For now. I'm home alone and beginning to appreciate days like this, again. I've always been a fan of solitude. But every day is quickly passing away and some nights I'm left to myself wondering am I just getting through the days, weeks and months or am I spending my time worthwhile? Days like this are important. It's essential to have these days to make us realize how much closer are we to God's destination for us. Are we building ourselves up, or are we just letting ourselves get caught in the waves of life? Days like this makes us realize that, yes, we need rests, but we also have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. God's perfect plan for our lives. Are we letting Him navigate our paths? Seek Him every single day, and He will guide you every step of the way.

2015 Appreciation Post

Looking back, I can't help but wish I could rewind and relive this year. A lot of blessings came pouring down not just on me, but for my family. It was the year where everything was better. Relationships, finances, spiritual growth, etc. There were a lot of firsts and I can't even remember all of them. I just know that this year has been full of unexpected turns. Positive ones. And I seriously don't want to end it yet. If only there were 13 months in a year, I guess that would be enough time to say farewell to the good things that are now just memories. But I can sense and I claim that 2016 is going to be a blast. More people, events and fun experiences to come. Even though I ain't ready, I know that what God has in store for me this 2016 will benefit me for His glory.

I don’t know what’s happening. Are we actually drifting apart, or did you just realise I’m not worth you time anymore? Is it because of our differences, or because of the inevitable circumstances? Before, we were enjoying each other’s company through the telecommunication lines whenever there’s a chance. Now, it seems that even if we have all the time in the world, you would opt to stay silent and just keep me wondering how your day possibly went. I can feel the apathy in the words that are supposed to appear on my phone screen, but don’t. You were not the person I used to talk to until you fell asleep. Have I done something that must’ve made you think I’m no longer what you needed back then?

I wish you could read this. And I wish you know what I mean. And I wish..

we could go back to the way it.. you.. used to be.

I am very much pleased with the pieces of clothing I put together. Tonight was our year-end party and it’s theme was R.I.O.T. (rock it out tonight) so I went for grunge. I actually had a hard time visualizing an outfit so I just went looking for clothes that are somehow fitting the idea of a grunge look. Then I found this top! I tried it on and I feel like buying it already but then there was a line across the fabric. When I asked the sales clerk if they had a stock, she said no. That’s when I started making a decision. It took me like 10 minutes and when God gave me the go signal, I went to the counter and asked the cashier if there’s any way they could fix the button at the back of the collar (which wasn't much of a big deal since it's not so obvious but it still managed to escape my mouth). She said no but asked another lady to go check if there's still another stock. During that moment I was talking to God telling him that I’m not buying that dress if there isn’t another stock. And they do! It was the last piece. Aaah, the relief. So after a few days I finally thought how to patch up a nice grunge-y outfit by putting on stockings and a skirt!

I’m grateful that even at a small situation like this, God is willing to help. That is, if you seek Him. :)

Kinda wanna have a GB (God’s Best) that is a photographer or just likes taking photos so everytime I’m cracking up, or doing something post-worthy, he’s there to capture the moment.

Chores, chores and a lot more chores.

Since I don’t have a tight class schedule, I’m the only one left at home most of the time. Which makes me responsible for maintaining the tidiness of this house. I’m at this point where I’m actually used to doing chores that I don’t complain anymore (unlike before) when I’m asked to clean something up but it doesn’t make me ignorant about the credits. Yes, I do this for God’s glory for having someone tell you what you do isn’t enough really hurts. I cried myself to sleep last night because of one chore I refused doing. One chore. I mean, I almost do all the cleaning in this house and I still got scolded for the one thing I didn’t want to do. People will always fail you no matter how much effort you put in doing something that is favorable to them, so I’m just going to leave it all up to my Father in heaven who doesn’t forget to give credits for all the good things I do.

“Here’s a lifesize teddy you can cuddle while I wait for the right time for us to get married so I could finally replace that bear and snuggle in bed with you.” What if someone actually told me this? GAAAAAAAAH. *heart-eyes emoji*

Today lacks something and I don't have an idea what it is. I don't understand why I feel this way every now and then. I mean, I'm okay, but I'm not fine. I feel like I wanted to take a restart and change a few things to see if I still end up feeling empty.

And maybe one day my poems will be about someone who also writes about me.

The Qualities of God’s Glamour Girl By Jacqueline J. Overpeck Who is God’s glamour girl and what are her admirable qualities?

According to Scripture, she is:

G – Gorgeous inside and out She fears the Lord knowing He is the source of all good things.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30

L – Laughter She’s isn’t afraid to laugh out loud and she looks for ways to encourage others.

…the joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

A – All about adoration She’s got a heart for applauding her King. She loves to praise and worship her God.

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Psalm 100:1-2

M – Mercy Her heart is full of compassion and her hands are ready to serve.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14

O – Original She’s uniquely herself. She places her whole life in God’s hands–knowing as His creation she already shines like a star.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made… Psalm 139:13-14

U – Understanding She has a ravenous appetite for wisdom and she loves to read the Bible. She’s thirsty for truth and delights in understanding the mysteries of God.

By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Proverbs 24:3-4

R – Righteousness She keeps herself pure. She desires to be an untarnished vessel for God’s anointing to flow through. Nothing is more important to God’s Glamour Girl than establishing heaven’s kingdom on earth.

But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long. Psalm 71:14-15

TRUE GLAMOUR God’s glamour girl is gorgeous inside and out. She’s filled with laughter. She has a song in her heart. Mercy springs from her spirit. She’s totally original. Her Bible is handy. She uses her unique gifts and talents to share the saving message of Jesus with the world.

An open letter from Mr. Right

Dear daughters of God,

Contrary to what you have heard, I do exist. I’m no fairytale hunk with big muscles and thing for chick flicks (although, I may or may not have a man bun). So, put your daydreams of love off to the side for a minute and let me tell you what makes me, “Mr. Right” and why people keep telling you to wait for me.

The first thing I really want for you to understand is that I was not born your Mr. Right. I promise we weren’t destined to cross paths and lock eyes from across a crowded room and fall hopelessly in love. God has been working in my heart for YEARS! Do you realize what was in my heart before Christ saved me?! Of course you don’t because we haven’t met yet, but I can promise you it is equally as crazy and sinful as what you’ve been walking through. That is why I need some time… And it is also why you need the same. Let’s do each other a huge favor and give one another the time to heal from our pasts and become something different; something whole. I know that you’ve spent a lot of time feeling less than whole, like you’re missing something, and so have I. But now we have both been made new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and need to take some time to learn to walk in this new wholeness. So, I’m going to give you that space and promise not to pursue you until God has made it clear that you are in the right season in your faith.

But here is the kicker and the second thing I need you to know… As patient and trusting in God’s timing as I am, this thing between you and I also hinges on your obedience and trust in the Lord. Have you ever read the Song of Solomon? There is a part in there that I will never forget. It says, “Promise me, O women of Jerusalem (Daughters of God); not to awaken love before the time is right” (NLT Emphasis Mine). Let me fill you in on why she says that. She is begging women not hurry into love for two reasons; one, because the real thing is so worth the wait. And two, because being joined with a person out of season is one of the most painful things someone can experience. Sure you can frolic in lala land for a little while, but what happens when the romance and passion subsides and your left with just your hearts, left open and bare? What happens when the struggles hit and the person you’re with isn’t strong enough to fight the good fight of faith? What happens when they mess up and you’re expected to show them the same grace Christ showed you? I’ll tell you what happens, things will fall apart. Whether on the surface or beneath it, things will fall apart…. That’s the truth, if two people are not both firmly rooted in their faith in Christ, they will suffer for that lack together. I could walk you through almost any church and show you marriage after marriage where people are suffering because they aroused love before it’s time. They are paying for the consequences of that decision decades down the road. Which is why we must join together in patience, even though we are apart.

Here is what we are working towards and the third thing I need you to know: God has asked me to be so much like Christ that you are able to submit to me as unto Him (Ephesians 5:22-33). And He is asking you to be able to submit to me and point me to Jesus by your actions, even when I’m acting like a fool (1 Peter 3:1-6). So take a minute and think… Could you really do that right now? I’m getting closer, but I don’t think I could do that just yet. But when God gives me a peace about the continual growth of my own faith, I will know and I’ll be obedient to pursue you. And you will know that it is me because I will respectfully, tactfully, and politely pursue you with very clear intentions. When a guy begins to talk to you, know that it’s me because I’ll be respectful and not flirting with you via text. Know that it’s me because I’ll be clear that I’m asking you on a date and won’t create an atmosphere where you have to question what we are doing or where we stand. Know that it’s me because when we are dating, I’ll not only be respectful of your emotional and physical boundaries, but also have some of my own. And know that it’s me because I’ll be more interested in your faith and what your relationship with Jesus looks like than being romantic and creating surface level connections.

So, please wait for me. For your sake and my own, wait. Wait because God is telling you to wait. Wait because you have more growing to do. Wait because I have more growing to do. And wait because it will be worth it. Because at the end of the day, the reason I’m not pursuing you yet is because I’m just not ready. And the reason you’re not being pursued by me yet is that you’re just not ready. So join with me in individually submitting to God…Even if that means that there actually isn’t a Mr. or Mrs. Right waiting for us… Can we be ok with that? Can we trust God and be okay with whatever the outcome, knowing that we have already received all we need in His Son? That’s a hard question, but until you’re in a place where you’re okay with never getting married, you won’t be in a place where I will be able to pursue you. Thinking of and praying for you,

– Mr. Right
