As I restart my #BookAgent #querying, I need to #remember that #persistence is key. J.K. Rowling was rejected 13 times, My #birthday buddy Dr. Seuss’s first #book was rejected 27 times. Hard work is just half the battle. But believing in my work and fighting for it is the other half. • • • • #AgentQuery #LiteraryAgent #bookstagram #books #upcomingbook #upcomingseries #hiddentruths #HiddenTruthsSilentWitness #author #upandcoming #upandcomingauthor (at Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZAlcqrpfu/?igshid=cp25lus4b8li

It's all coming back to me

You know I always said to myself, in order for you to know more ab yourself you need to learn ab others, in doing the things for them, you'll see yourself more. So you know, you need to learn and take lots of lessons that maybe through some people you'll find. Well sometimes it's not easy as it's said. But everybody can do something easy, when you can do something hard, be proud of yourself. Guess what, I don't even know what I'm talking now, it's just there is something I need to tell to my tommorow self. As I was so upset and feeling bad ab what happened during the journey of my life. Funny how I found my long-gone sketch as I tried to theraphy myself from all the bad feelings that intoxicated me.

Well everytime I feel turmoil within, all I know I can run my fingers freely, whether on the screen type of cellphone, keyboard that resulted me to come up with lots of inspiring writings, on paper using either pencils or pen, or perhaps the strings of my guitar. I don't know it just happened. Well, things happened.

Let me show you of what I did ;

I need to keep these. These are the everyday objects, from roses, fishes, well animals, trees and of course my favorite object, eyes! Well eyes are windows to your soul! Don't let your eyes be empty from life. And don't forget to remind yourself how talented and brilliant you are! Especially when the world tries to make you to forget that.

I just want to let you know that even if your dreams seem like to far to reach, but keep trying to make yourself to get closer to them. No matter what others have done to you, it's all up to you to turn the situation around for your own good. Your dreams are waiting for you, just remember that! Whatever with what people think ab you, you're not born to please everybody! What matter is you're happy for what you do!

You're not responsible for the false accusations people make ab you, lots of people like to create stupid fantasy ab things out there, without knowing the truth, "you need to go to the source". Well life is too short to spend on making explanation that I don't owe.

Is there anybody out there who likes to sketch? I don't know I like the idea of no color, I also like to play the instrumental, without words just the melody. I don't know I think it feels natural. That doesn't make me feel weird, but special when it comes to taste. Or say what you want to say. Just share your things and be free!

Remember it's all coming back to you, after all this is your own life!

I am what I am (7)

As I told you that the childhood of someone, in here is Isaac, may affect the decision or the way that someone looks at the world in his or her grown up life. Where Isaac had a taste for a wild game, from his so COMFORT upbringing provided by Abraham.

Now the real question is, what makes Isaac finally decided to give his promise to one of his sons? Well Moses tells it all; it was when Isaac eyes were so weak that he could no longer see. Isaac was blinded by what he saw; he couldn’t see something more than meet the eyes. That’s how stupid Isaac was. Well, I guess we all like that sometimes, who are being too fast to judge at something, it's natural we're just humans, God who knows everything.

Second Isaac realized that he was already old and God could take him anytime. In other words he was powerless, due to his body condition.

You see what makes Isaac to finally make up his mind for the blessing? MOSES MAKES IT CLEAR to us for only a fool who can’t see that. It was not by forty days of fasting and praying, singing, calling the name of God with tears run down your wrinkled face. It was not by a holiest spiritual meditation between heaven and earth Isaac had upon himself that leads him to a revelation, TO UTTER THE PROMISE. For goodness sake, NO!

There are lots of people out there claim that they love God and even work for Him, but let me tell you the truth, the reality is some of them don’t. What they see is whether you have the possibility to make money for them, whether or not you have the possibility to present them better to the world, whether you have what it takes to please their hearts as humans.

Rebekah didn’t do sin; it was Isaac the man who sinned. When she tried to sneak in Jacob for herself.

Isaac never wanted for something called Israel from the beginning, that’s the truth! For the fact is Isaac didn’t intend to make Jacob as Israel. He intended to bless Esau, because according to him, Esau is more capable to be the man.

Although Rebekah used to be a shepherd but that doesn’t mean she is a restless one, like a good girl gone bad, trying to find comfort in outside world. He loves a man who is so restful that was what she saw on her husband. Just like her younger son Jacob who reminds Rebekah of Isaac when he was young. She was like falling in love again, and would do anything for her “same” love.

I am what I am (6)

Do you know why Isaac loved Esau more than Jacob in the beginning?

Because Jacob was similar to himself while Esau is different from him. Isaac shares many similar characteristics with his younger son Jacob. Jacob was his mother’s favorite; he was Rebekah’s favorite son, just like Isaac who used to be a mama’s boy. I mean of course he has to since he is the only one Sarah and Abraham have as the result of their undying love.

This is how Moses describes about the two guys, “The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents. Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob” Esau was a very good hunter and so manly in everything, when it comes to outside world he knows it better than Jacob, so you should say Jacob was inexperienced compared to Esau.

Now let’s see the words that I want to emphasize on, of how turned out Isaac has a taste for wild game. Do you know how Isaac could develop this kind of taste or I should say, such thought? Well let me take you awhile to the past, to when Isaac was still a kid and soon growing to be a young man.

As our history tells us of how as humankind, we have evolved so much beyond we used to think. “To explore” in order to experience, is probably one of the natures of us that drives us to move more and more towards our future. Some scientists say that Mars is ready to be occupied, or I don’t know. As a normal human especially for a man, “exploring” is probably a must to have to determine your manliness. For women who tend to stay at home, especially in ancient time. Men, women bodies are not the kind of place where you need to explore, in a negative meaning. Honor your women!

Isaac is the true treasure that Sarah and Abraham have. Isaac was long awaited and was long wanted, that’s why the moment he was born, Sarah and Abraham gave everything they have in them for the dream was coming true. Do you know how Isaac got a wife of his own? Do you know how Isaac met with Rebekah? It was by Abraham his own father, it was his father who brought the woman to him. Isaac just stayed still, he never went too far from his father, let alone went somewhere else, to get to know with some women.

Even when Abraham was limited in his moves due to his condition as an old man, for he had to send his trusted servant to make that impossible journey, to find someone worth to have for Isaac on behalf on him. Abraham troubled himself to please Isaac’s heart his son. Abraham was so selective, he was acting like he was the one who was about to marry again, he put himself on Isaac’s shoes. That’s the kind of love Abraham had towards the son (God) was gained by a promise.

You probably think that what I just said was not right, or too exaggerating. For most of the time it is the sons who will try to make their parents to feel proud because of what they have done, just like Jacob. However in the story of how Isaac could gain Rebekah, it’s a story about how a father would try his best to please the heart of his son, because the love Abraham has for Isaac is greater than the love Isaac has for Abraham. Abraham acted that it was him to be married again, so he asked God for something the same, a woman akin to Sarah, the love of his life.

Even when Isaac changed himself into an adult and even after Sarah his mother had died. Isaac still lived with his parent, for Abraham arranged him for a marriage that Isaac himself never met with the woman before, for Abraham didn’t allow Isaac to ever make a step away of him. That’s the kind of upbringing Isaac received from Abraham. Technically Isaac wasn’t a baby anymore, yet Abraham treated Isaac like a living Barbie for him.

I’m not kidding, because in the case of Jacob his son, everything is the opposite one, Jacob had to put efforts in order to gain everything, he slaved himself for seven laborious years for Rachel’s hands, not to mention more years to go to fulfill everything. Isaac didn’t have to kill himself for a woman and a living, oh Abraham was super rich. The only thing he hated in his life was this, a debt. You should read a chapter that tells how Abraham gained Machpelah land as his property, where he first buried Sarah in there.

Even when Abraham married again and gained other sons from other women, Isaac was still his priority and Abraham never changed Isaac lavish lifestyle just because of the other members. MONEY IS NOT A PROBLEM TO ABRAHAM, because his true treasure was his loved ones. Let me make it simpler, Abraham had a son, yet he treated his son like a daughter, crazy right?

What’s crazier about it is, Isaac didn’t mind at all! Weird isn't?

THAT'S WHY!

I am what I am (5)

Since I've talked more and deeper about my ethnicity background that I never told anyone before. Now I want to talk about someone whose background (life) signifies an ethnicity that has shaped the history of our world ever since, this guy name is Jacob. Well I guess you may notice that my writings are mostly inspired by words of God.

For me personally when it comes to ethnicity Jacob’s journey is something to describe it, it is so inspiring, how Jacob’s name soon to be changed as Israel. In fact through this guy name, a nation is called and a culture was formed.

He was just an ordinary man nothing special about him, until a single chance changed his entire life forever. Because of his life, it gives a whole different meaning to the history of the world. Do you know from where Jacob gained the opportunity? It was from none other than his own father, Isaac. The opportunity came from someone so close to him, Isaac.

Do you know what makes Jacob could gain that once in a lifetime chance was provided by his own father? Let us talk about that of how someone can gain a rare opportunity in his life. However it is Isaac the provider that I want to talk about instead of Jacob. Jacob is often mentioned in the Bible, while if you see from Moses’s writing, you can find some information about Isaac, however let me reveal you the truth that was not written before.
