Happy Birthday Sara! 🙂 I am sorry I am not the best Tita you could have when I know I could be her. I am sorry for missing your first birthday. I am sorry for hurting your father. I don’t have much choices in life because I don’t really choose what’s best. I always choose to make people happy even if it means I have to sacrifice a lot. Sorry if this post is about me. Anyway… Hope you see this one day and you’ll ever forgive me. I could only pray that you be a good girl and you be a diligent girl who would work for your dreams. Dreams are free but acting on it is not. It comes with a lot of hard work, bitterness and a lot of tears. But once you know your dreams and you have achieved it, it’s worth all the pain. I wish you’d be God-fearing. God bless you my baby love ❤️

Psalm 139

"GOD ANCHORS YOU A lady recently wrote to me about the turmoil going on in her life. She described her emotional state as “like waves tossed to and fro.” Sounds like a lot of moving, doesn’t it? Anxiety can cause emotional instability and when you are unstable, you are most likely to make decisions that you will regret later. Thinking about her description, I also remembered the scripture from James 1:5-6. In the first part of the scripture, he advises us to ask God for wisdom. But then, he gives a warning: “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” So this lady’s description of her emotional state as like “waves tossed to and fro” tells me that doubt is ruling her mind at the moment. Boy have I been there! I used to be particularly vulnerable to this emotion around income tax season. Because I am self-employed, I reacted with fear, anxiety, and worry over any potential tax bill. But a few years ago, when I felt my old emotional reactions rise up, something even stronger rose up inside me at the same time. It was like a big stop sign that brought those feelings to a halt by commanding “Stop. You are not going there.” This new determination to control my emotions surprised me. And you know what? It felt great! In that moment, I was determined to set my mind on faith. I would be single-minded. I was determined to trust the situation to God no matter how I felt. God taught me something important during that experience: “Faith is a supernatural act.” If you limit your mind to the natural, then you narrow the options that God has to change your situation. But if you elevate your mind to the supernatural realm through faith, then you are able to take action based on confidence in God’s care for you. So keep in mind: When you become single-minded, keeping your mind stayed on God’s word and refuse to be moved, then you open the door for God to move in supernatural ways on your behalf! "

You stood right there... And told me I have something beautiful in me. I wish I can see Your beauty in me. I am sorry for being so anxious. Like these clouds, my thoughts are of scattered fear and doubts. I don't know what you see in me but please never leave my side.

Friday 🙂🍃🌿

[chasingstrings]

In our hopes to find true friend, I realize to myself I need to be that kind of friend that I would want to have, first. Sometime pride kicks in the way, the evil side would think, "hey she should ask how I am because I have some issues and I used to help her", but just by saying so fails the premise of being that true friend. Reality talk is that as we age, everyone gets busier with their own lives, more responsibilities, more problems to face, more people to meet. So if they fail to check on you, it's really not about you nor should you condemn them that they don't seem to care. Instead of burning bridges, be the bridge, close the gap. If you miss your friends, ring them up, drop them a message, say you miss them. Be that friend you want to have. 🙂

There are days when you just wanna sit and grab a cup of coffee and listen to great music. Oh the Friday feels is so strong I need to snap back to the difficult reality. 😴
