You should not believe what the world tells about your person. You should also avoid your lowly perspective of yourself. The only reliable voice is the voice of Truth. Every bit of purpose made in your existence will just be put to waste when lies are able to penetrate your soul.

The Holy Spirit reminds us of our value, the very cost paid in exchange of our freedom. This freedom should not just be maximized but multiplied. Every person who sees the way we value ourselves witness the truth, that everyone born in this world do not belong to anyone other than the One who died on the Cross in exchange of our being adopted as sons and daughters of God.

We are free!

Everyone who lived, will live, and lives in this world has an important and crucial role in the fulfillment of God’s great plan for all His creation. The fact is you have a part.

There is no other way...

...but FORGIVENESS.

Forgive your family, for unfilled lack and needs.
Forgive your best friend, for not being there when you need her.
Forgive your lover, for whatever reason (dunno, don't have yet eh =p).
Forgive your workmates, for gossips and insincerity.
Lastly, but most probably not the end of the list, forgive yourself, for your own mistakes, your own flaws, your own weaknesses.

Jesus' grace is always sufficient, cheers to happy and joyful life!!! 

The Womb

10:40pm, Feb.28,2012

What is this that releases joy in my heart? Dance of life! For still the passion within finds itself a way to be fleshed out and no one can stop it.

There is something that we call 'design' and it is the only way to our purpose. Knowing what we are made to be, where do we belong and what makes us alive. Environment influences but should never limit who I can be and how my day would turn out. I should not forget that there is Someone called I Am. The One who created day and night; passion and life is more than real. Who is this gentle Wind that leads my name to where it should be? No mistakes, just pure trust. No fear except the fear of him which equals courage and risk. I believe in process and I look at the victory, no boundaries!

Samuel knew the Voice, he lived after Him.

Joseph saw beforehand, his chronicle was victory.

Mary received the Promise, she took care of Jesus.

I have seen them live in Him and so will I.

It is time to get out of the womb.

Nothing can stop and should stop my passion, not even myself. I saw what Jesus can do through it and I should let him. Time is irreplaceable and should never be wasted in non-sense. Wasted time is more than a diamond thrown in the seas. It is either we use each moment towards fulfilling who we really are in Christ or be paralyzed by what the world wants us to be. 

You Are Not Alone

This heart
This mind
My protection
My security
Where do they rest?

Days ahead
Dreams yet to be realized
Identity lived out
People to love
Who will make it possible?

A sweet and gentle Wind comes
Holds my hands
Envelopes
Secures
Identifies
Loves unconditionally.

Finish Line

Habang naghihintay ng alas siyete ng gabi, tumambay muna ako sa McDo kasama ang isa sa aking mga paboritong awtor na si Donald Miller. Ansarap pagsamahin ang kombinasyong McCafe premium brewed coffee at ang librong "Searching for God Knows What". At bakit ako andito? Sa kadahilanang hindi natuloy ang aming naka-antabay na pagpapa-masahe ng aking paboritong kaibigang itago natin sa pangalang Co (pasintabi po sa iba kong kaibigan).

Ang kape, ang libro, ang jeep, ang Bugong, at ang 'we deliver' .

Nakaka-aliw rin pala ang tanawin sa 2nd flr ng McDo Vega. Samu't-saring galaw ang makikita. Nakikita mo ang hindi nakikita ng nasa ibaba. Sa likod ng aking isipan, habang ginagawa ang pagbabasa, pakikinig ng 'Summer Sampler' album, pag-inom ng kape, panonood ng kalsada mula sa ikalawang palapag; ay ang nalalapit na katapusan ng linggong ito. At napatanong ako sa aking sarili, ano nga ba itong paghihintay na ito? Bakit mahirap ang bandang hulihan? Kahit alam ko na maganda ang istorya, pero parang ang layo nya mula sa abot ng aking tanaw.

Sabi nga ng papa ko pinakamahirap talaga kapag malapit ka na sa finish line, ubos na ang lakas mo pero hindi ka pa rin nakakarating sa itinakdang paroroonan. Para sa akin, dito na papasok ang tinatawag na grasya at pagtitiwala, yun tipong wala ka nang magagawa kundi ipagpaliban sa Diyos ang hindi mo kayang mag-isang tapusin. Hindi bale, sa bandang huli naman ay mas makikilala natin ang Maylikha ng lahat pati ng finish line.

Chocolates and Wine

As I wake up in the morning
my heart searches for You
Your love satisfies the deepest yearnings
and so I look up to meet my Lover...

You are my sweet bliss
more than my favorite chocolate
better than a shot of wine...

my Obsession.

Compelling

I'm love sick again,
yearning for touch, sweet whispers,
affection,
hungry heart.

Here comes my Lover,
in His splendor and beauty.

Morning, meeting,
untamed Love.

First of 2012

My journal entry on the first day of 2012, which I believe is also the state of my heart at this very day of July 4...

We are called to discover and to unravel unknown things and make them known. We are in a journey of coming into the knowledge of our destiny step by step, moment by moment, change by change. Nothing is instant for those who want fullness. Intricate process is necessary. 


The beauty of this journey is that every detail of the future is not completely revealed but we are given the promise of being perfected in Christ. I find joy in knowing a part of Mystery by living a life of dependence in Him. There is no way of discovering destiny but by asking, listening, believing, trusting and obeying the One.

Beautiful Craft

While at the jeep on my way home, an insight flashed through my mind after seeing a man checking on the value of something precious. "The value of a matter increases as its rarity increases", just like of genuine diamond in a pile of mine.

Who among the 7,049,134,200 people here on earth knows that he is precious? There is no other you not just on earth but in the whole creation. You are not just rare, but unique! The way you talk, the way your mind flows, the number of your hair and how you cry is uniquely you. No one can replace your existence for there is one and only you.

Famy kids during playtime.

There is nothing wrong with looking up to people, but trying to imitate others for the sake of self-security would surely turn your value down. The most valuable you is the unique you. Each and everyone of us is fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator (Psalm 139:14). To discover your gifting, talents, your own mechanism would be the best thing that you can do to yourself- a recovery of your real worth. Though the enemy stole our value after the fall of men, Jesus reclaimed our true value on the cross.

Where can we find our true self? I believe David's life is an example, as he cried "One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek, that I may dwell in His temple, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord all the days of my life" (Ps 27:4). The Presence of our Creator is the only place where we can find our unique self, for we are made in the image and likeness of God! (Gen 1:26)

She said Yes!

Nice start, I just witnessed  a celebration of a successful wedding proposal while writing this! How was that?*$%@!!

And so from this day, written melodies, dance steps, whispers of prayer and wishes, strokes of life's humor and surprises will be served in simple words of a whimsical blogger.

I am excited.
