You Are Known And Have been Chosen

God calls common people to accomplish His great plans.

 A few of them were David, being the youngest amongst his siblings defeated Goliath and became king, also has known to be "the man after God's own heart". There's this unnamed woman who has shown God's great power through healing. After being subject to bleeding for twelve years, she was healed and have been used by God to proclaim His power and miracles.

 A lot more were mentioned in the bible that you and even I probably did not notice, those who were not really described as great but had shown greatness because of their humble obedience and full of faith response to God.

 "Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: 'I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people. I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him."

(Psalms 89:19-20)

 God never choose people who are already great because He wants to show His greatness upon them.

 NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD

 God will enable them to accomplish what He has instructed them to do.

 " My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him. The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries. My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn[f] will be exalted. I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.   He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’   And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth

  I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail. I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure. "

(Psalms 89:20b ~ 29)

 He will Strengthen you

He will defend you

He will protect you

He will guide you

He will provide for you and through you

and when you seek Him

He will give you authority

He will love you

and He will expand your territory and all your generations.

 " For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn[n] among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. "

(Romans 8:29-30)

 God knew you even before you were born

He has chosen you

Now He is calling you

and He is ready to anoint you.

 Will you respond to His call and worship Him through your humble obedience?

 All it takes for you is a "Yes" to His call. Then He will take care of the rest.

 "Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you."

(Psalm 51:12)

 Ask God to give you the heart to obey.

Just do it! 

 Dance class with coach Mycs @Power dance studio.

Trying to learn body mastery to let myself flow with the music. I still have a long way to go. But i believe i can reach it.

Learning is always possible. No one has it perfect at the first time or even at the first time again after a long time.

When the desire is in it, as long as it is beneficial for growth, just do it! After all, it is better than nothing.

Kamusta ka?

More often than not, when this question come across a person, an automatic answer would be, “I’m ok”, or “I’m good” or “I’m doing good”. anything that would express that they are really ok, even they are not. 

My sister asked me, “Kamusta ka teh?”, then i replied with honest thought, Ï’m not okay teh, but being made strong by God.” , then tears fell off my eyes. relief suddenly calmed my anxious mind. 

We have reasons for showing we’re okay, maybe we just don’t want to share what we are going through, or we just want to look strong before people, but sometimes being not okay is also okay, for you to be really okay.

Ikaw, kamusta ka? 

[joyfuldays03]

kapag tinanong ba kita kung kamusta ka, sasabihin mo ang totoo kung kamusta ka talaga?

Some prefer coffee but i'd like this one, especially for breakfast.

Isn't it nice having breakfast with a cup of hot cocoa, a nice sunrise view and a heartful of bliss with the one you love? That's amazing! 💖

One thing I'd look forward to when I found the one whom my soul loves.

Trying to complete this puzzle challenged me to the bones! 😳😆

When i was doing this, i was reminded of those people who were experiencing emptiness in their hearts, it could be you, reading this article, longing for something thinking it is the only thing that can complete you. I was like that, until i read and experienced this verse,

"For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things."

Ps107:9

Don't try to fill yourself with things that can only provide temporal satisfaction.

It is not like I have achieved all I want in life, but whether I have it or not, have done it or not, I am satisfied and complete, beacause I know that God filling me up.

Only the lover of your soul can complete the missing piece and satisfy your heart. 💞 it pays to wait, it pays to resist the temptation and when you have fully realized that completeness comes only from Him ☝ then all things come together and gives your heart a lasting peace. ☝💞

First sight of snow

Today, snow just fall on me. :) 

Who would have thought I will feel a feeling of excitement when I see snow. :) 

Expected it coming today, I was amazed how it looked like. Just like in halo-halo. But it created a different kind of joy in my heart.

I can feel it, deep within my soul And I can see it, Your glory all around Faith is rising, yes, my heart will give You praise

(Draw Close again by Planetshakers)

Being back in the Philippines after 9 months of being in Japan, I had a chance to dance again and worship in our church. A privilege, especially with my sister (take note, she’s a very strong dancer and I always fear her choreography yet, i love it because it pushes me to go beyond my extents).  Prayed for this moment to dance again, and so much more, finding my heart what it desires more of. 

We are, literally, in awe and wonder every after dance worship. It feels like our hearts understands each other even we don’’t speak, synced on every beat of the music.  

It’s an answered prayer for both of us, as we dance this very special Sunday, because our papa went to church (even he’ll be going alone). A life long prayer that has been answered and given to us by the Lord our God. 

A radical change not just for our father, but also for us and all we can do is worship the One who holds it all --- our Heavenly Father. 

The Lord is not deaf to our prayers. He hears our cries and sees our obedience. He does not sleep, He does not disregard. He loves you and always ready to give to you the best of what you deserve. All it takes is your faith and obedience, even as small as a mustard seed, it will created a big difference to your life and to the people around you. 

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. (2Peter3:9)

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. (Hebrews10:23)

THE ONE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL.

Create space for joy. You may be experiencing victory, breakthrough, blessing, abundance, or maybe hardship, stress, depression, cornered, scarcity, whatever it is. Expected or unexpected, circumstances happen, it may be good, it may be bad. But learning to trust God in every situation means you’re letting him take over and control. (Inspired by the book of Charles Windmill, “Great Attitudes”) Learn to find purpose and reason for every situation. Learn to create space for joy. Learn to trust God. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22 NIV

God created you to be filled with and annointed by His Spirit. That fullness makes you personality complete, enables you to be Christlike and radiant with God's presence, and your service to be Spirit-guided, Spirit-empowered, and used to capacity by God. -WLD #joyfuldays #chapter1 #seedoffaith (at JGC Dormitory)

[joyfuldays03]

It's mine! Life is full of having our wants or having what we think is ours. We complaint when what we do not get what we want. We complaint when others take hold of what we think is ours. We complaint when we do not get our specific orders in fastfood restaurant, we get mad when we see our stuff being used by our siblings. We loose hope when everything is lost. We want this, we want that. But have you ever tried to give even there will be nothing left to you? Have you ever lend a help even it's out of the way? Jesus Christ, gave His very life, to give you life. It is not too much to give help to others, to add hope in their lives. Letting them experience the extravagant love that comes from the Heavenly Father. Share Love. Just as you, Judah and Israel, have been a curse among the nations, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong.” Zechariah 8:13 NIV

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy," Psalm 30:11 NIV Oftentimes, I feel restless, more times being left out, at times, I feel that I just don't belong. But when my feet started to move, my body started to dance, my whole being is turned back to what God had for me, to who I am, as His precious daughter---loved, and cared about so much. Nothing compares to that joy. ☺☺ photocredit: cogdasma #11262017 #joyfuldays

Do not mind mindless people

The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. They will ruin what's good in you, but they will never win if you don't give them a chance to win.
