YES! I finally got a hold of this blog account after how many years... 9 years?! I was going through my blog 10 years ago and hmmm life i thin was full of drama and emotions back then...things has changed a lot as of the moment.

just a little blast from the past, after i got my degree, I flew in Japan and started working here and will continue to work here i guess as for the moment.
God is good! He sent us great people who helped us enjoy and have a life here in this foreign land, (I will share about these awesome people on my next blog 😊).

Life really has its own way of making you laugh and cry .. it has been a rollercoaster ride but i am super blessed and thankful for every moments that took place for the past couple of years.

gotta catch my flight today!
Jesus Loves You!

see you around.
be well,be kin

Life of a young Adult

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Sat, 04 May 2013 11:31:00 +0000

This is it!! Work...and Work and work!
After spending how many years of being a student, i found myself in this so called life of a young adult.. When i was just a kid, i mean when we were kids, we wanted to grow up as fast as we can because we often see those people ahead of us doing stuff that so interesting. They have money, work and can buy what they want. When I was a student i wanted to finish my studies right away so that i can work. And now that I'm working, i honestly want to go back to being a student! It's funny but that's just what i feel right now. The perks of being a student, you don't have to think about paying the bills, working to buy your stuff and so on.. All that a student will do to get what they want is just to ask money from their parents!

Oh well, i guess this is really is it! I have come to face the reality of living the life as a young adult. It's all about work baby! Finding the job that fits you and that would support you and your family. That happy go lucky, come what may, asking money from parents' attitude is over! It's our time to take responsibility! But wait, we can still enjoy this chapter in our lives :) ofcourse, we just don't spend the rest of our time working, lets find time to have some fun too! Going out with friends and family is a must during rest day! It's also all about balance. Finding time to do those things that makes us feel like a kid again, things that we enjoy a lot just to keep those stress at work away :)
When it comes to handling our finances, just think about this... SAVE SOME, SPEND SOME AND GIVE SOME :)

God bless y'all :)

So far apart...

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:17:00 +0000

The night is young.. hmmm I'm not trying to be a poet tonight.. I'm listening to Kelly's song "so far apart" and thinking that this would be a nice topic for my blog tonight.

It's hard to be so far apart with something or someone that you would want to have or be with. Can you stand the distance? can you endure the test of time? its funny that I'm just starting and I'm throwing all these questions that even i don't know the answers.

Hmmm only time will tell until i will finally meet you again. we may be this far apart this very moment, but hey, I'll be waiting. I will be just right here. The question is, will you be there at the time where we'll meet?

Post Birthday update

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 09:16:00 +0000

Hi y'all.. justcelebrated my 23rd birthday. It was full of surprises! :-) I enjoyed it a lot even though I spent most of it at our Community duty. I was amazed of the people who remembered me on my day and those who even gave me some bits of treats and surprises! Here it goes...

I woke up early in the morning very hopeful and expectant on what God has for me on that day. I really did not know what to expect. I am so blessed and just so thankful for the goodness that He has shown into my life. So i went on to prepare for my duty and my mom greeted me a happy birthday :-). I arrived at school at 7 am, some of my classmates already greeted me with a happy birthday and then i noticed that some of my friends were kinda missing.. hmmm i was a bit wondering on what they are up to... then i waited until a surprise came! OMG, there were balloons, cakes and a gift.. They were all singing and were all smiling. I was overwhelemed with so much joy and happiness.. wow, its been a while that i actually had a birthday cake! and a balloons and gift to add. That moment was a day to remember and i will not forget it for the rest of my life! Friends are gifts from above!

When i went home, I rested for a bit and bought some food for dinner. I also had dinner with a friend who also celebrated his birthday. We ate at Crab King and had a long chitchat. I was happy to share that day with him. I was full and went back home for another surprise that i did not expect. My siblings and mom actually bought me another birthday cake!!! it was awesome. I appreciate all their efforts to make me feel how special I am. it was the first time! lol... I love my Family!

They say that if there's happiness, there's always sadness. I did feel a little sad that time coz there were people that i expected to remember me on that day, but unfortunately they weren't able to make it. But still the Good ones outweighs the bad ones! they can't steal my joy and maybe they're just too busy or i don't know. it's ok...

Thanks to everyone who shared their smiles with me on my day. I will not forget them :-) to..
Jenny for the gift, KD and dak for the surprise b-day cake and balloons,
my 4C Classmates,
my family for making me feel special,
Ms. Lisa for the greetings and for the treats,
to my church family for the support as always,
to my dad who find a way to send me something on my day,
to gerry for that wonderful dinner at Crab King
to @abeneubanks for the b-day tweet, although Kelly did not make it still aben, one his band members made it!

and most specially to my Father above, my Bestfriend Jesus and my Comforter the Holy Spirit for making me feel so special on that day!!! i can only say WOW! I will always put my Trust in You and i Know deep inside You will never fail!. Thank God for the LOVE and He made all these things Possible!!!

God bless everyone!

I'm back ! ! !

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:17:00 +0000

Hey y'all!!! i'm definitely back to blogging again.. I'm hopeful to continue this as much as i can and can remember... As i was going through my previous posts way back, it inspired me to write again and hey, somebody posted a comment on one of my posts! That means a lot!

Anyway, so many things had happened and there's definitely one thing that is "happening" as of the moment and that is my Schooling. I'll be graduating by 2011, that's next year! how time flies.. FINALLY !!! I'm excited about that and i'll be going back to my 2nd home and back to work. I miss it there.

I've been active on FB and Twitter... Kelly Clarkson is on twitter thats why i'm on twitter too!!! One thing that makes twitter so cool was that Kelly Clarkson, yes the one and only American Idol, REPLIED on my tweet!!! Score!!!

Well, life is exciting and challenging so far. There were issues i had to face and end. There were people that I had to deal with and understand even at the moment that I can no longer take it..
God is always good and will always be!!! He is my Strength and Refuge and Never will I let Him Go!!!

in the thick of things...

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:23:00 +0000

Hey guyz! it's been a while since i've written something in here...

just to follow up on my previous post, i finally reached the point of having no confusion at all or maybe just a little bit..if you get what i mean by that.. well, well, well im back on the waiting part again.. it was once in my hands for the first time but it got lost somewhere.. i dont know.but one thing i know is that, i will surely hold on to this thing and will not give up for sure but this would still depend on the other... i've reached the point of being finally sure of pursuing this thing that i have and believe for the best... i've never felt this way before... but then again its not all about me, but all about His will for me...
As for this moment, I'm leaving it all to Him... I'll just enjoy the ride and submit to whatever is His plan for me..
Let go and Let God

Confused...

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:11:00 +0000

I've been having this feeling about a few weeks now... i don't quite get it... maybe i made the wrong decision in the first place or maybe i was just too excited to be in that situation and forgot how i prepared myself about this event of my life.. Am i blinded by the past and overwhelmed so much with the future that's why i wasn't that concerned with the present? tell me if i was wrong... tell me to stop this and i will.. let me know if its over and i will move on...

sgh... i can only wait , and give this one a chance... if it will not work, then that would be the time to really fully let go of the past and future..

Depending on Him Alone

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:37:00 +0000

Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring ofHarod; and the camp ofMidian was north of them by the hill ofMoreh in the valley. The Lord said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast about themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me. So now proclaim in the ears of the men, saying, Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him turn back and depart from Mount Gilead. And 22,000 of the men returned, but 10,000 remained.
—Judges 7:1-3

Instead of telling Gideon, who was facing a major battle, that He would give him more men, God told him that he had too many for God to give him the victory. Interestingly enough, sometimes God works through our weaknesses better than through our strengths. There are times when we have too much going for us in the natural for God to give the victory. We are not in line for a miracle if anyone but God can help us. God was telling Gideon that they were too strong in themselves, that He wanted them in a position where they would have to depend entirely on Him. Pride and boasting ruin the best of men so God has to help us stay humble and, under His mighty hand, totally dependent on Him.

If you live in the prosperity of TOMORROW today, you may live in poverty tomorrow.

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:33:00 +0000

He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless people and pursuits will have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished. —Proverbs 28:19, 20

YOU AND I live in a time when credit cards and home-equity loans and second mortgages make living beyond our means all too easy. It may even be that you have reason to think your business is about to turn the corner or that the promotion is on the way. Living on that speculative prosperity today is a dangerous game to play. And living on the empty promises of fast, easy money is a certain ticket to poverty.

God's principle for prosperity is that you work hard in obedience to His will for your life. Land, for instance, will yield only in proportion to the labor of the farmer. The more faithful the labor, the greater the blessing—God's promise is abundance. But if you are caught up in finding an easy way to get what you desire you'll be distracted from being faithful to God's will for your life today. Return to faithfulness now, before judgment comes.

hello world!

I finally foung this blog... it's been really a while that I've written something in here...

Well, it has been a heck of a year for me since i came home from Japan. I've had a grand summer vacation last year. I actually got what I wanted and went to different places like Bohol, Cebu, Cagayan, Manila... whew.. words won't be enough to describe how i feel during those times in my life.. It was like a gift after how many months of hardwork and hardwork... lol...

As of the moment, I'll be continuing my studies and hopefully by God's grace i would be able to finish my course and eventually graduate by 2011...

I'm embracing another year of challenges and changes that has come and will be coming in my life....

God is always good in my life and yours!

peace out everyone!

Msg To the People in my life

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:30:00 +0000

People come into your life for a Reason,a Season or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are.

They are there for the REASON you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the
relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force us to take a stand. What we must realize is
that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move
on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But, only for a SEASON.

LIFETIME relationships teach you LIFETIME lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas
of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

interview with Shannen

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:45:00 +0000

Hi guys heres the latest interview with our very own Ms. Shannen Doherty..taken from the new issue of Charmed Magazine!!! have fun!!

Charmed Magazine:Are you still acting or are you moving away from that?
Shannen:No। I am definitely not moving away from acting. I actually have an offer for a TV series right now that I am contemplating. I think I have discovered that working constantly isn't necessarily the right thing for me. And sometimes taking time off is. I have the most terrific family.

Charmed:What have you learned about relationships over the years?
Shannen:The same thing that you have learned। We have all learned the exact same things through relationships. My good friend David Gardner and I once made lists of what we want in a mate. And we now set standards for ourselves. The funny thing is that now the two of us are like, "How are we gonna find someone, because neither one of us leaves our houses?" So we are pretty sure that we have to conjure them and bring them to us. But I think that it is trial and error in relationships. For each one you go, "Hmm, that's what I liked about him and it didn't work out, so I'll cross that off."

Charmed:And what exactly are those standards?
Shannen:They're pretty high for me right now। That's why I've been single for so long. I want somebody who is fiercely independent and gives me my space. But I also want someone to protect me. Someone who is loving, compassionate, funny, kind, and secure.

Charmed:It sounds like you consider yourself an expert on bad men, but not on good men.
Shannen:I am not an expert on either। I think an expert doesn't mess up nearly as many times as I have. I think that I am good at getting over relationships and dealing with the guilt and the tears and the mourning and the grief. God knows I've done it enough.

Charmed:Ho do you do that?Ice cream?
Shannen:Friends. I lean on my friends like you wouldn't believe.

Charmed:So, not an actor?
Shannen:I would prefer not। To tell you the truth, an actor would probably not be a good idea.

Charmed:Do you want a family one day?
Shannen:I do. Eventually. I don't know if they are going to be my own or if they are going to be adopted. I don't really know.

Charmed:Are you dating?
Shannen:I have had one date in the last year and a half। And it didn't go so well.

Charmed:You've done both reality shows and scripted shows, do you have a preference?
Shannen:No. I don't really prefer reality shows, but doing Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty was something different. It felt kind of organic in a way. Like, of course I will go and help these women and give them an outside opinion. Or vice versa. I also get it because I have a ton of guy friends. I am the girl now, funny enough, that my friends come to for relationship advice.

Charmed:What did you like most about Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty?
Shannen:It was so organic and natural. And it was about working with people that I really like. It just fell into place. But reality is not something I enjoy; I don't watch it on TV. I don't necessarily approve of a lot of the reality shows out there. This show was different for me. We were actually helping people. I really believe that.

Charmed:What does it feel like to go on one date in a year and a half?
Shannen:Liberating. It feels incredibly liberating to acknowledge to myself that I do not need a man to make me happy. I think we can all look back on my history and see that I am no a casual dater by any means. I have relationships. But I go from relationship to relationship. And to go that long without a guy in your life and to say, "Hey, it's not a big deal," it changes everything for you and it allows you to set those standards higher. To set the bar higher.

Charmed:What have you discovered about yourself in that time?
Shannen:I have discovered that I am a pretty damn good person.

Charmed:Do you look at celebs like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and think they need intervention?
Shannen:No। Because I don't want my life judged. Why should I judge anyone else's. I got tired of having my like judged.

Charmed:Where do you think the press has been most unfair to you?
Shannen:I hate to use the word "unfair," but again, I have to stand up and say it wasn't just the press - I played a huge part in it। A huge part. Everybody has a job. And if I am creating some of the drama you guys have a job to report it. But I think where I start to say, "No we are getting out of hand," or, "Now this is unfair," is when no one lets it die. When nobody says, "You know what?She was young.Give her a break." Give me a chance to get up again. Stop writing about stuff that happened 10 years ago. Stop bringing up every bad thing that happened in my life. And give me another chance to mess up. If I mess up again, write about it. Otherwise, just let me breathe and let my parents breathe. Let them pick up a paper that says one nice thing about me.

Charmed:How did the passing of Aaron Spelling touch you?
Shannen:It was actually very hard because a friend heard about it instantly and sent me an email। It was a little bit shocking because it was an email that simply said "Aaron Spelling died," and nothing else. And then there were 30 other emails following it. I think we all knew he was sick. I certainly stay in really close contact with Holly Marie Combs. She is one of my closest friends. So we both had discussed it. I knew it was far worse than anyone said it was. So, it wasn't necessarily shocking. But it is hard. You are talking about a man I have known since I was 18 years old. Who has played a significant, significant role in my life. And a man I owe a lot to. I loved him dearly and he loved me dearly. You know, you always wish that things were different and you always wish you had that last moment with somebody to express yourself to them. But, you know, we lost an amazing man. We lost a man who shaped TV. And made a huge contribution to this business. But most importantly, made a huge contribution in his personal life.

Charmed:Were you able to talk to Tori Spelling at all?
Shannen:No. I think Tori is in the middle of her own stuff right now. I think it is best for a lot of people to give them their space.

Charmed:You've lived in LA most of your life, would you ever consider living somewhere else?
Shannen:No. No. Never. When I was in my twenties I used to dream about moving to New York and doing plays and living in SoHo. That whole artist thing. Now I am a beach girl. I am about California. I love my space. So I could never do the New York thing.

Operate in Wisdom

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:06:00 +0000

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)!
—Romans 11:33

Without wisdom we can make poor decisions and later wonder why we didn’t pray first. It is wise to seek God early each day before we start making decisions in order to know ahead of time what we ought to do, and then to receive the grace to do it.Wisdom keeps us from a life of regret.

Jesus operated in wisdom. When others went home to rest, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives to spend time with God. And early in the morning (at dawn), He came back into the temple and taught people (See John 7:53–8:2). Jesus always spent time with the Father before facing the crowds. If Jesus needed time with God, we need even more time with Him. Walk in wisdom today.

Consecrate Your Money

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:10:00 +0000

And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
—2 Corinthians 9:8

The apostle Paul said that the believers in Macodonia not only gave their money to God, but they also gave themselves to the Lord’s service (See 2 Corinthians 8:1–5). Paul too gave his life in service to God’s people.

Many people want to receive all they can from God, but they are not willing to give all of themselves to Him. If you have never dedicated yourself to the Lord’s service, you are missing a great adventure. Dedicate this day to Him; He will lead you on a path to victory.

The Bible does not tell you TO MAKE the Word work. It tells you to let the Word work.

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:45:00 +0000

Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest. —Exodus 14:13,14

THANK GOD FOR a leader like Moses. He saw the same impending crisis the people did and faced it with confidence in God's salvation. His courage rested upon his past experience of seeing God's deliverance based upon His word. This was a moment when faith alone would save them—all they had to do was stand still and let God do the fighting.

Perhaps you feel like the Israelites felt—walled in by an overwhelming problem that is absolutely real and threatening to destroy your life. You try to pray but fear grips your heart. You find yourself utterly helpless. It is a dangerous moment when human nature wants to break faith and complain against the Lord and blame someone else for the situation (Exodus 14:11,12). By faith let God step in between you and the problem, and believe He will work it out.

The difference between discouragement and encouragement IS DETERMINED BY WHOM you depend on God or man.

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 15:52:00 +0000

There was a certain man there who had suffered with a deep-seated and lingering disorder for thirty-eight years. When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well? [Are you really in earnest about getting well?] —John 5:5,6

FOR THIRTY-EIGHT years this invalid had tried repeatedly to get into the healing waters, but with no one to help him it was hopeless. Of all those who had been healed at the pool not one remained to help him. Discouragement had taken over his life. His response to Jesus was not an immediate, "Yes, Lord," but a rambling of why he had not been healed.

If your faith is in others, discouragement from their failures to love and care for you will be inevitable. If your faith is in Jesus Christ, healing and wholeness are in Him for you. Jesus is an inexhaustible fountain of healing for whatever you need. Others may have left you behind, but Jesus seeks you out. Receive from Him the power to rise up and walk through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Increase Your Days

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 15:51:00 +0000

March 9

Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
—Psalm 33:18-19

When I talk about seeking God early, many people think they will have to get up at three o’clock in the morning! I am not trying to tell you how to do it. I am not even suggesting that you pray for an hour. I am just saying that some way, somehow, if you want to start your whole day right, you must find time to seek God’s wisdom in the morning.

Time with God adds years to your life! God is eager to give us insight and understanding. His Word says, “For by me [Wisdom from God] your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased” (Proverbs 9:11).

Don't be afraid of the darkness in the earth today. REMEMBER THIS: Light shines best in darkness.

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:32:00 +0000

Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

IT IS THE NATURE of light to shine, and the darker the night the brighter the light. There is darkness in the world, and moral darkness is the blackest of all. Perhaps where you live today has become a very dark place, a fearful place. Perhaps the light has been so obscured you are tempted to think there is no light at all, only darkness.

The purpose of God is that you shine and illuminate the world in which you live. There is no light and no life but that of Jesus Christ ( John 1:4).What He is in Himself is what He gives to you. Never be content until your life is fully illumined by Christ. By the beauty of holiness reflected in your life the darkness will be driven back. If you live your Christianity, the light in your life will flood the darkness with the true glory of God.

Be Strong

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:30:00 +0000

The Lord is my Strength and my[impenetrable]

Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. The Lord is their [unyielding] Strength, and He is the Stronghold of salvation to [me] His anointed.
—Psalm 28:7-8

We can plan to be worn out before we ever feel tired. I used to expect to be totally wiped out physically and emotionally after my conferences. Then I prayed that as I poured energy and strength into obeying God, He would pour energy and strength back into me.

The Bible says that giving is sowing a seed that will reap a harvest (Galatians 6:7–10). If we give our strength, we will reap God’s strength. We should expect a harvest of strength in our life, as we serve the Lord. He will anoint us with strength today, if we call on Him to do so.

Looking back...

noreply@blogger.com (Ann) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 18:22:00 +0000

I was just browsing on my yahoo mail account and thru the past emails i`ve received way back 2004 up to the present... As i was reading through, memories just kept on flashing back. Lots of things really has changed with the people close to me and even with myself. There were significant people that I have treasured and missed a lot up until now.

I don`t know if she can read this blog but just wanna thank her from the bottom of my heart, for all the things she did for me way back then. She was like a sister to me, my bestfriend (esp. during eating moments..lol) , and my mentor as well. She thought me a lot and showed it thru her life..Ofcourse I love her dearly and she will always have a part in my life and although things had been a lot different than before, the moments we had together in the ministry and in school will always be cherished and I`m thankful for that!

Well, there are so many people I have come across with in life. I know God gave them to me for a reason and God also has His own reason why the people that we have had to go but that doesn`t mean they will not be there for us anymore...It does hurt knowing that person has to go and i always tell myself..MEI!... LET GO and LET GOD! hahah yeah i`ve always learned that the hard way around... its hard to get attached and then detached!right??

So much with that I`m just so blessed that God is always good even during those times that i wasn`t good... His love is just unconditional and there`s nothing that we can do to earn God`s love..We just have to receive it with all of our heart and begin to share that love to others..

i hate it but learned to embrace it...CHANGE

ei...its been a while now...the past days were kinda tough for me and im sure it'll be much more challenging for the next days and months to come...too hard to explain and i think ive gotta keep it myself...whew...

i wanna discuss a bit of sumthing hir... its about change...yeah i know everyone has something to say bwt dat word..as for me i hate that word sometimes...but the fact is that's the most constant thing on earth.. it has been always hard for me wen i encounter some changes in my life..lots of adjustments to make and new ways and even people to deal with.. sometimes i dont understand it at all or maybe i just dont want to understand it...people always say they will not change but unfortunately time comes they usually do and sometimes would leave u unattended...yeah...i duno y its like dat...

it's kinda like a rocky road i should say but ive come to realized that sometimes change is good...focus on the good side of it and ull see wat it will do to u...yeah it always comes with adjustments and hardships and drama but that's only for a while, i bet someday somehow u and i will get over it ofcourse its not gona be "MY EFFORT" but most definitely with God! yeah..u dont have to carry all d load and face ur mountain alone...

life is always a journey. sometimes you just don`t know what road to take and pass thru. hmmm... lots of people to encounter ... and as we go further we`ll learn that life is just The way it is BUT We can do SoMeTHING about it!

we have our share of own experiences in what is so called "life"... 　mine was indeed an experience! i`ve learned a lot so far... i`ve realized that there are some things that God allows to happen FOR me to become More Strong... There are situations that I don`t wanna deal with b`coz u know it just hurts... it makes me cry... I wanna run and hide from it BUT i`ve reached the point wherein i have to face the truth! truth really hurts,,, yeah... But Thank Jesus for being there for me... without His strength I don`t know where to put myself... sigh... Jesus Cares everyone! He loves U n ME sooooo much more Than we could ever imagine... God`s love is beyond what our mind can understand!

life is nothing without HIM! He is the ONE that we`ve been searching for all Our journey in LiFe!

Let God Strengthen You

My life dissolves and weeps itself away for heaviness; raise me up and strengthen me according to [the promises of ] Your word. Remove from me the way of falsehood and unfaithfulness [to You], and graciously impart Your law to me.
—Psalm 119:28-29

We need to be strengthened and renewed on a daily basis. We need to be strengthened physically, mentally, and emotionally. We need to be strong so we do not fall apart every time we have to face some situation we had not planned on.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He expects us to develop stability in our lives. We can be strengthened and renewed by drawing strength from God, by exercising our faith, and by doing what He tells us to do.

Jesus will be Savior without your behavior. If you've allowed Him to be Savior, He'll change your behavior.

But constantly and earnestly I bore testimony both to Jews and Greeks, urging them to turn in repentance [that is due] to God and to have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ [that is due Him].

THIS TEACHING OF Paul never changes.Where is there a human heart that can honestly say it does not need to repent? Who can read the Word of God and not be made aware of his or her sins and failures? How can anyone stand when the Holy Spirit turns His light upon their soul and exposes the darkness? How foolish it is to try to silence one's conscience and convictions.

How much better it is to confess your sin and put your faith in Jesus.Yet faith is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8), not something you work up on your own. Faith is the opening of your spiritual eyes to see Him Who is invisible (Hebrews 11:27). Faith is the opening of your spiritual ears to hear the voice of God as He tells you of His grace. By faith refuse to live by your feelings but rather take hold of eternal truth and make it your own.
