Be-coming & Be-living.

Revelation 13:16-18 KJVS

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Goood daaaay! I want the wisdom of seeking the truth and chasing after it until it unfolds in our lives happen. Let's make it happen. So, today, I want to give value on the importance of choosing your counsel and giving yourself a chance to see how valuable the word of God is in our lives.

Choosing to have the word of God rooted in our lives would make us picture how life can be like a tree bearing fruits for all the seasons as it is planted by the river of life. This river of life flows from the land of eternal life, where there's no more sorrow and no more night.

It makes sense right? Though the seasons change, to bear fruit from the nourishment of the river of life, makes us resilient to these inevitable changes.

Regarding choosing the people to ask for counsel, I have settled on asking wisdom from people who have been deeply rooted from the word of God. It is not easy to practice being faithful in these trying times. Making a decision to know how these people bear their fruits is one of the best decisions someone could do. I hope you bloom and bear fruits yourself! Being with fruitful people influences you to be fruitful!

Happy weekend and have a sweet fruit-smelling day! Here's our today's scripture reference and music.

John 7:38, NKJV

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

For people whose creativity needs to steam off, I would say that this song and this verse has been my truth.

I have battled on self acceptance and healing from rejecting my rough edges that caused me a lot of wounds and pain.

Let me share how Jesus truly heals holistically and in that healing process our human minds or hearts could not understand how.

I have revived my blogging enthusiasm but I was blogging in the wrong blog site.

I will be filtering and making changes on my personal and informational sites.

I need a major overhaul.

Right Question

Knowing when to ask the right question also needs enough knowledge about what you are asking for..

Bababa ba? Hahahahaha! Ewan ko.

I'm literally at the edge now.. I really need to ask help.. I have to before I conpletely fall and break.

Well maybe at this point I have to keep on finding my rhythm and pace to keep on running. Have the right knowlege of everything to finally understand what is the question of the matter.

Again, another thought process ended into hope not doubt. Thank you pooooo! (Copying the intonations done by Kathryn Bernardo in Got To Believe).

Partaker..

It saddens me that being too attached to what is true has become a chain for many to think out of the box and be kept from trying to reach out to people who needs that truth.

I so badly want to join a friend's wedding because I am truly happy that they have proved that love always wins. I actually can't because it's going to be held in a Catholic church.

I just hope that with this enduring love that we are fighting for, I can always stand til the end that the truth will always set me free.

Ang hirap mag-let go.. ang dmi pang need iayos na practices because hindi naman talaga lahat ng nakasanayan tama. 😣

I badly miss Mama during these times. She has been one of the people who established many new realizations for our very traditional church.

Haay' Mama..

Aaaaaah! As much as gusto ko pa lakihan ung mundong ginagalawan ko, ang daming bagay na pumipilit paliitin!

Sana.. bgyan ako ng chance ni friendship na makabawi. Haaay..

I just want to show love but I am being kept from doing it.. another sad truth that I have to accept.

Common Stranger

Have you ever been so close to someone yet felt so far to that person at the same time? You have shared your thoughts and reasons and felt how you were understood clearly then suddenly it became all grey and blurred.

How about being able to share something to a stranger that you felt accepted and then you felt you connected right away?

I find it strange. I myself have a number of friends whom I am close enough to share secrets, but at times I feel that I cannot express myself to them. Then there is this person whom you don’t really know well but seems you can trust right away.. how did that happen?

Somehow I think because I have become a stranger also to myself. If I were to see myself in a storybook or a series, I am actually watching a girl who cannot really run without a companion. But often times she gets to share a race with a stranger, whom she thinks shares the same sentiments and feelings with her. Thinking that what she thinks matters to this person because they understand. Which is just for a moment. In the end, they are people who would just pass by her and/or she passes by them. They will remain as strangers.

I am watching myself become a stranger to the people that she actually loves. Letting pain and hate pass through and gets distracted by it. Thinking that a room for hate is okay and that pain is always a part of love.

Now I have stopped reading and dropped the book. I have ended the series of sadness and drama. Now, I thought I have to face through this pain. I have to think how I can get through this and let me finish this journey which only has a one way ticket.

I have to appease myself that I can only be the person whom I choose to be. A person whom I can truly be at peace with specially dealing with her unresolved truth and freedom. I shouldn’t think that someone would always understand me. Instead, I have to make a way on how I could really understand myself and to end up knowing that I can be whom I really want to be if I am willing to.

There will never be an easy way, only simple but difficult way. The path to righteousness is truly so narrow. Resolved in the fact that even when I really have none, I still can give out on something that I can actually produce. It’s better to have nothing because I would not lose anything. As long as I thought I have done what is right, even when I was not completely happy about it, it’s still the truth that makes me free. Having no stronghold from anything in this world that can keep me from being a person that I am meant to be. Accepting that there are just paths that I could not take, and paths that even I do not want I  eventually have to take.

Aaaaaah! I have resolved with myself that - Yes! I am waiting for my joy to be complete and I will wait patiently.

In the most unknown, kept, and mysterious places are where the most beautiful and wonderful things get revealed. No more common strangers, just the truth with the people from whom I care and love. No secrets are kept hidden. Now I live and control what I can say, do, sing, and write.

I just want my heart to be undivided. One with what I know and with what I have kept delaying. I have to settle on going back to those grey areas and color them and set them on the color that’s set for them to be. “..for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” - Philippians 2:13

“For I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.” - Philippians 1:6

Look Ma, I learned!

I am making this to make a remembrance of my mom and all that I have learned so far since she’s gone (background song: Carrie Underwood’s See You Again). Like how the song said, we just said goodbye and turned around, then she was gone. Today is the exact 6th month since the accident and the night that our family never could’ve imagined to happen. Also, it was a Thursday.. still I am having physical pain, remembering how it all happened and how we ended unto this day.. wait! This is so heartbreaking! Awat na! (Let’s stop this!) I just wanted to really make this day count and to keep that hope by trusting God’s perfect time. I hope you keep on reading this and somehow get to know a daughter’s struggle and enlightenment about importance of time, faith, and patience. [(Infairness sakin nag-google pa’ko ng “learning synonyms”! LOL!) (I admit, I needed to google on “learning synonyms”! LOL!)]

Psalm 119:71 - Authorized KJV, says “It is good for me that I have been afflicted that I might learn from thy statutes.” Currently, I am still sucking up to know that all of the current struggles I am in is good. Well, let’s count the obstacles on this course.

Aging Folks

(My internet did not cooperate last night so my draft did not save. Now, I have to go back from scratch and start again on my thought process. Haha!)

There is a Filipino saying that I want to share - “Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ako.” (You’ve just started your journey while I’m now going back.) I’d like to make a different view of this saying. I know now what I really want to do with my life. I am moving for that passion and reaching those dreams. Yet, I always have to make my pace not too fast because I know I might miss out on something, something small for me but is actually very important. I should never neglect the time I should also spend with my parents.

The lessons I had so far are these:

-Ask them of how they worked on their own passions and dreams.

-Get to know what are their point of views in life, in love and in their faith.

-Just simply talk to them about anything under the sun and spend time with them like eating out, going on a vacation, and doing something new.

-Take note of what they need specially about their health. Make sure that they are in a safe place.

I may be busy before on establishing myself when I was still working. That is to earn a bigger salary and also to make a difference through my ministries at church. But I should never be too busy to put an effort unto my parents’ needs. I did try as much as I can back when we were still with Mama. She also was an example for me on showing great concern to my Lola Naty, her mom, when both of them were still with us. So now that Papa is the only parent we have left, I know I really have to put my effort level to 100%. Lately, it has been really tough dealing with small and big matters in the family but we are thriving. Ikaw na bahala Lord! (It’s all upto You Lord!)

If ever you may not be close to your parents, well I suggest you start doing an effort to know them more. There is always a reason why you were put in that family and I know that as you pray and make efforts for it, it will pay off! Patience for aging folks is a must. As they are getting old, old habits are also hard to break for them, specially the not-so-good ones. Because, it is you who sees the bigger picture, I pray that the change will come from you first. I know that #thestruggleisreal when it comes to this matter but it will pay off. You will be rewarded as you give honor to your parents. Just thinking of that reward I know you’ll make it through.

TIME AND PRAYER

If time was a person, I would love to strangle it and keep it still, but I know it’s impossible to happen. I know we all give much value to the time that we all have in equal but we never have the same type of valuing for time.

I could really be thought of someone who is wishy-washy and lousy at times. But I am praying hard to get these things corrected. I just want to share that you can never compare yourself to people who are already successful given that you and them have the same opportunities and circumstances.

Be hard on yourself but always be patient for your learning curve. P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happens. I’d like to add one more to the P which is practice. Practice what you really want to be. As of now, I am motivated by one Hollywood actor who I think said one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Please search on Matthew McConaughey’s speech. Your hero is yourself (Mariah Carey’s Hero play in the background). Yes some Christians may disagree with me but let me differentiate a hero and a savior. Hero is a human while Savior is a name that I will only link to God. So okay ka na? (Are you okay with it now?) Go better go home! It will all take time I tell you, but wait while moving. :) Only God can change you so pray and be what You think God has made you to be.

EMOTIONS

I wanted to tackle more of this than the other two learnings I have but I just realized that I need to talk less of this because..I will make a separate blog about it.

Before I end this, I just want to say that to all mothers who will be celebrating Mother’s Day next month, I love you all! I miss you Mama, big time! No one will ever take your place in me. No one will ever match you. See you in a while Ma! :-*

Freedom, Will, and Beauty

I just went back to Tumblr and checked my account! It’s been so long! Wow! I should’ve done this way-way back and just started to write and post my thoughts to keep my mind more sound and less worried! Well, thank God I just did today! ^_^

I am going to post here my devotions from now on, and keep the last part between myself and God. :)

Devotion Time from this time on will be named DMB. Devote. Move. Be. Devote myself to the Bible, it's word, it's message being my life's mirror and my compass, to direct me on where I should go. That I will travel not just by going to places but rather go with God to where He wants to lead me. I will move to where He directs me to be and experience all that He wants me to be.

This is also in response to my new #lifeverse, Acts 17:28 "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being;..

JAMES 4:1-3 (NKJV)

“Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

You lust and you do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”

(After 2 days..)

Accepting a mistake is just not that easy as it may be easy to tell here. Every person I believe has an intention that may not be really as beneficial to others but is something that can be worked out. For now I am not having the best thoughts regarding me staying at home and cleaning the house from all the mess for the improvements we are having at home. It’s not what I actually want to do. So I end up not being able to prep anything to eat for my dad and my sister because of waking up late. I am really a person who loves to go out while now what’s happening is the opposite. I do not want where I am right now.

I do not have the right to complain yet lately I have been wondering when will the right time for me to go and explore more people and places happen. As of now, I am trying to be a financial planner who would be offering insurance and I hope this will be one step ahead to what I want. I just want to do a lot of things but it ends that I don’t get any of it.. I procrastinate. I know my family has also adjusted to me and I know that we may fight at times but in the end, we all say what we really want to do or happen. Right now, I have been really working out on my patience and me being really productive. For everyday, I just want to maximize all the time I have to do something and achieve something.

My prayers lately has been focused on that time when I will be able to be free to really travel and go anywhere I want. I just feel that the world is calling out to me. Like how Moana was being called out to the sea. But today, I know that I just have to wait for the perfect time of God. Also, I really have to learn to always talk to Papa as this has been a challenge for me and my sister. Just those petty talks about anything under the sun will do, just to make him feel that we are also his friend. I am not really a person who talks a lot but I teach and speak in front of people as a worship leader. It’s really time for me to embrace this. I still have a lot to learn and to do, that for now is what’s important.

My freedom is to choose to be a better housekeeper (sounds like being a maid, but I can’t think of anything to call this ;p), a sister, a daughter, a friend, a teacher, and a worship leader. I will myself, push myself - to be able to do these things and learn the beauty of being under the process of learning, making mistakes, having more mistakes, and eventually master these things. I know that with these mindset I will not ask amiss because I know that being content is a great gain - 1 Timothy 6:6.
