The world keeps on getting worse.

Beautiful. I like that word. Every time someone says it, it’s  referring to something with beauty. No matter what kind, or if it is beauty only they can see. It has beauty. And that beauty changes us. The way we see things. What music we listen to, the people we care about. Who we are. If we don’t see beauty, we don’t stay. And even if we don’t see it, we pretend we do. We live for it. We fall in love, we all expect someone to see it inside of us. We wait all life for beauty. We dream about it. I guess, it’s one of the most powerful things in the world, it can make even the most devil and hard people melt. Just that, that one thing, changes everything. Beauty, beautiful.

You are enough. Comparing yourself to other mouthfuls. It’s mentally destroying you to be confident from being who you are; draining and unsatisfying you, allowing negative thoughts pass through your mind and let you criticize yourself. 

“Stop the comparisons because you are enough and always have been.”

No one are the same. All of us are created with different unique personalities and that is truly amazing.

You are not less than. You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm. You shouldn’t change yourself to gain approval from someone to be called enough because you are the only one who can limit your greatness.

Find peace. Fuel yourself in an uplifting and positive way. Know who you are and know it’s enough. You can be whoever you want to be. You can decide differently today and at every moment. It doesn’t matter who you used to be but what matters is who you decide to be today. Go easy on yourself and whatever you do today, let it be enough.

Don’t let jealousy take over, but instead light a fire inside you if you feel you need to improve and use it as fuel to change your path. (c Becca Martin)

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anyone.

God said:

“You are more than beautiful. You are more than enough. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.”

- Psalm 139:14

 Remember that.

chase the sun

Today, I choose to be grateful for everything I have. Isn’t too crazy how I look back a year ago and realize how much everything has changed? The memories you won’t forget and moments you wish it did. People who stayed and go but grateful how God let that simple hello could lead me to a million things and to dozens of people to meet and cherished. How God did all those things happened in just a year?

I’ve learned a lot of things like knowing that things don’t always turn out the way you wanted it or the way you think they should.

God mold me to be a strong woman. Everything that’s hits me in life I’ve dealt with my own. I have grown from things meant to break me. I get stronger by the day and I have God to thank for that. I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I really face it with fears before. I’m able to say to myself that I’m ready to take the next thing that comes along. I was beyond blessed through His faithfulness that always remains even times I got wrapped by fears and doubts. He still remain by my side and never leave. He show me the chances to do better and be better.

I have endured. I have been broken and got weak. I have lost myself but God let my feet stands to move forward and grow stronger for His name. He taught me that I can be soft and successful. I can be traditionalist or a rebel, vulnerable and invincible, a lover and a fighter. Nothing is a coincidence. Everything I’m experiencing; everything what I have right now is meant to happen and to have exactly how it’s happening. I’m embracing the lessons, the challenges and the memories. Today is new beginning and chapter of happiness. I am grounded and centered with a blessed life filled with many blessings. I move through my day with consciousness, grace and love from Him. All these words cannot express the full depth of how I am so grateful.

Luke 1:45 “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her.” Psalm 46:5 “God is within her, she will not fall.”

There’s going to be very painful situations in your life that will break your entire world in a minutes, in hours and days. God let me how to feel pain. He let me to bleed and heal but He taught me to let it go and trust only in Him. 

These situations changed me.

God built me back up stronger than before. He make me stronger, smarter and a girl who learned to be patient and brave. Don’t profess you want to grow and then run away when times you feel growing pains. Be soft. Do not let this situation make you hard and hard and hard. 

God is the perfect image of love.

When times I feel unimportant and unwanted, He help me not to forget that He is there, a perfect God who loves me dearly. When perfect time comes, He talk about the love story He planned and prepared for me. He shows me and let an awesome blessing be part of my life until today. It reveals me that the mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you tried to understand the situation instead of trying to hurt them back. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? How all that pain and tears gave you a wonderful gift in return. Beyond this happiness, I couldn’t have asked God for much better person to walk into my life but I would simply say, he’s enough. He’s really enough. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.“

It was my first time and best experience so far to be on the summit. Dreaming of touching the clouds but it happened, I touched it. :) Thank you Mt. Batulao for making my first experience worth it. Hope everyone see how amaze I am in your outstanding beauty.

Timeless..

It’s been months ago since I’ve fallen inlove and commit myself to someone who changed my life into something magical.

I find myself lucky I guess; thinking “oh what’s happening? Is this true?” And Yes it’s true. A 100% true, no lies, no jokes.

Commiting myself to this person was never a mistake. Until now, I’m still amazed of how things get through because of that simple hi and hello. I’d used to know him more everyday and it keeps me burst to excitement. Everyday is an exciting part really; knowing his personality, his favorites, his hobbies, etc. and that holds me to look forward for more on our magical love story.

Nothing is perfect, only God; but I felt that God gave me a perfect blessing to describe. Someone that every girls dreamed of.

Sorry for them but I’ve already found one, a rare one. Someone who’s intend not to leave. Someone will love you as much as you do. Someone who’ll accept who you are. Someone who you can count on every good and bad times. Someone who’s willing to build a strong relationship with God. Someone who’ll inspire you to be much better woman as before. Nothing more I could ask for more because finding someone like him is for word ‘blessed and contented’ stand out.

Time passed so fast that you and I celebrating our 4th month of love. I never stopped thanking God for what I’m having right now. Everything changed for good when you enter my world. I became more dedicated in my career and spiritual life; you pour more dozen of happiness in my life.

You’re enough baby.

I love you…

Being beautiful has nothing to do with physical appearance. It's your character as a person, its how you make others feel about themselves.

Walk by Faith

God gave us faith. 

Faith to understand things neither tangible nor intangible worlds. 

Tangible world which ability to experience thru our five senses; ability to see, to feel, to smell, to touch, to hear. 

Intangible world which contains the unseen things. It cannot detect thru our senses but you feel it. Like, you can't see God but you can feel Him. 

Some things exist in the intangible, we consider the world in our everyday living for you to explain that your existence is defined in the concrete; tangible is tiny because you can't experience everything that our world has to offer. 

Our spiritual life is much consider in intangible world. 

We're connected both natural and spiritual. We're living in natural world knowing we're not meant to be in natural world for rest of our lives but we're much longs on spiritual world because one day, we will leave the natural world and "go home" where we truly belong. 

Jesus is living in both worlds. He resides in natural because we christian, He lives in us. He always on our sides wherever you go but He's also sits next to His Father in heaven (Spiritual World), meaning we are now christian, we too sit next to the Father. We've been living in both natural and spiritual world since the day Christ entered in our lives. 

Faith has two ends and at each end stands Christ. He is the author - beginner - of our faith and the perfecter - the end - of our faith. He knew that without faith, we would be doomed living and dying in the natural world. We can never touch the spiritual. Or else, we can be like Moises; seeing the promised land before we died but never entering into it. 

Faith is God's way of allowing us to experience the natural and spiritual at the same time thats why we're existing in both natural and spiritual world.

God lives in us and we live in Him. In Christ, we access both world by faith; by faith we bring into the natural all that Christ gives us spiritually. 

Any activity that originates in the flesh with the hope of receiving a spiritual seal of approval moves away from faith and into presumption. Presumption is the flesh's answer to the spiritual quandary, that without faith you cannot please God. Faith responds to what God initiates; presumption initiates and experts God to respond. 

Christian life always has been about walking by faith and not by sight.

“for we walk by faith, not by sight.” -2 Corinthians  5:7
