To My Future Beloved

God + You and Me. Only three of us will matter on the day that i will finally meet you. You may not be ready today that's why God still lets me wait but i want you to know, since the day i fell in love with God, i fell in love with you too. I believe I will have you on the day you will start praying for me and claiming me to God. My beloved, I promise to be your loyal girlfriend and i claim that you will be my last. When the perfect day finally arrives, I want you to read this post. I want you to know how long have I patiently waited for you, how long have I prayed for you and how long have I fell in love with you. Oh just the thought of you excites me. I'm excited to travel with you, read books with you, watch movies with you, listen to my favorite songs with you, dream with you, pray with you and most especially, worship God with you. Lastly, My Beloved, I know life may be harsh sometimes but I believe that if we work hand and hand in fighting temptations, with the grace of God surely we can get through it. I promise you, when you finally find your way through me I'll be with you in your journey, it'll be our journey. I love you though we haven't met yet and I'm sure I'll love you even more when we finally meet. :)

NO PAIN, NO GAIN


have you ever experienced being broken-hearted? have you ever been dumped and left out alone in the dark? if you have then you must know how painful it is. being rejected, condemed and misunderstood is very much painful than having an open wound. I have been rejected and judged, there were those times that i feel like giving up. OA akong humandle ng mga sitwasyon, lalong-lalo na kapag na.fail ako. Before, my means of coping is umiinom ako kasama ng mga barkada ko, nagna.night life, i have been into "party all night and sleep all day" well, that WAS me.

After many years of escaping reality i found myself closing my eyes and kneeling. i was praying. it took me many years to realize where all those pains and problems are leading me. pagkatapos nung balde-baldeng pagluluha heto ako ngayon, nakatayo at nakatingala because i now realized than behind those big problems, there is a Man who is bigger than it and greater than it. My God.

After all those heartaches and pains, i gained RESPECT and LOVE from my family and friends. because of all those experiences i've learned to extend my patience and understanding, i have learned to forgive people and give them another chance. we all do deserve many chances, why do you we are still able to wake up every morning? it's because God is giving us another chance to correct what we have done wrong yesterday.

Without experiencing pain you couldn't learn how to understand, care and love. By then, when you already know how to, that's the time you could receive honor and respect. so? don't be afraid of experiencing failure, soon enough that pain will be the most reason of your success..:D

The Greatest Love Story

Most of us are dreaming of a perfect love story, it could be like Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or any other princesses. You could also have been wishing for a love story like Edward and Bella, Ethan and Lena or any other characters in a book or in a movie. We all have that greatest dreams but did we ever realize that the greatest love story we could have is the story between us and God? Yes, God. how could that be possible? Simple! who could ever sacrifice His own child just to save us from all of our sins? who could ever love us despite of all our imperfections and all our wrong-doings? who could ever accept us and welcome us back with arms wide open after all those rejections and judgements we did? ONLY GOD can do greater things beyond what we could ever imagine.


I myself have been in that point. I had 10 ex-boyfriends, i was so obsessed searching for the best relationship but still i ended up with nothing. Then one day something came up to my mind. I was walking down the aisle of the church to have my communion, then i suddenly imagined it was my wedding and Christ is there in the altar, waiting for me. I couldn't help but smile, who could ever love you more than Him? who could ever wait for you after you have chosen the wrong path? only God can do that.


I am so blessed enough to have found God in my heart. There are still times that i miss being with someone but if i just pray to God, i feel very comforted. My greatest love story is my continuing journey with God, side by side and hand in hand. how is it possible? True that we cannot see and touch God but let me just end this with a question with an answer.


Why do we close our eyes every time we kiss?
Well, simply because a true joy cannot be seen by the naked eye thus, it is naturally felt by the heart.

The Cat's Diary


Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with
bizarre little dangling objects. They dine
lavishly on fresh meat, while the other
inmates and I are fed hash or some sort
of dry nuggets. Although I make my
contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I
nevertheless must eat something in order
to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is
my dream of escape. In an attempt to
disgust them, I once again vomit on the
carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and
dropped its headless body at their feet. I
had hoped this would strike fear into their
hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my
capabilities. However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a
"good little hunter" I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I
was placed in solitary confinement for the
duration of the event. However, I could
hear the noises and smell the food. I
overheard that my confinement was due
to the power of "allergies." I must learn
what this means, and how to use it to my
advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an
attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as
he was walking. I must try this again
tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners
here are flunkies and snitches. The dog
receives special privileges. He is regularly
released, and seems to be more than
willing to return. He is obviously
retarded. The bird must be an informant.
I observe him communicate with the
guards regularly. I am certain that he
reports my every move. My captors have
arranged protective custody for him in an
elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...

A RECENT BLESSING


Last September 13-15, 2013, i was very blessed to be able to attend the Singles For Christ - Regional Conference (ReCon).

before i tell you what happened during the event let me tell you a story of what i have been through before the event.

last 4 months ago, i broke up with my GG for 27months. i.. i mean we decided to finally end it up because we hardly can find time to communicate, by the way he's from Cebu and I'm from Digos City, we've been far from each other for a year and the distance is killing us. He's been busy working and studying and i was busy working and doing my service in the community, we couldn't fill-in those lost times we had and it just hurts more if we still continue our relationship. Since then i was very sad and lonely. kahit napapaligiran na ako ng mga masasaya at espesyal na tao, at the end of the day i still end up crying in my room. But then God has His way of lifting me up and making me feel special and loved. 

Without hesitation i decided to join the ReCon kasi yung title palang na "BELOVED" parang gusto ko nang isigaw kay Lord na "WOW! LORD! hanep ka rin ano? parang para sa akin talaga ang event na ito!" i was really amazed of Gods ways to make me realize that i am His precious daughter. During the event the topic of almost all of the talks seemed like made na para sa akin talaga, parang si Lord lang talaga yung nagsasalita sa harap at paulit-ulit na sinasabing "Mahal na Mahal kita anak, walang makakapag bigay nang pagmamahal niya sa'yo na higit pa sa Akin. My daughter, YOU ARE WORTH DYING FOR". yan yung mga salitang nabuo sa isip ko sa UNANG araw palang ng event. On the second day, we were given the chance to choose one workshop. and since gustong-gusto ko magsulat napili ko yung "Shakespeare Inlove". Ate Martha Vinzons gave her talk, it's about Marketing Christ through blogging, i am very thankful kay Lord kasi gumamit nanaman Siya ng instrumento para mapaalala
sa akin na kailangan ko nang magsulat ulit but this time, it should be all about Him, how great He is and how He transformed me into a better person and i never really saw how much i've changed until i was in the conference. the experience is something that is worth telling to the world,  I AM FILLED TO THE BRIM and now it's time for me to share my blessings to others.


You see, everything just happens for a reason. sabi nga din nila na if you prayed for something and God didn't gave it you, then may God is preparing for something much better than what you've asked, remember WE all DESERVE THE BEST! if you prayed for something and it took many years before you actually have it, then God was just testing your patience, remember you'll never appreciate what you have until having it after a long time of asking and praying. I feel so blessed and loved until now and i'm pretty sure i'll feel this way until forever.

Lord, i am very thankful to have met you, thank You for saving me, thank You for loving me unconditionally, despite of my imperfections You still accepted me with arms wide open. i couldn't believe that i deserve love as much as You give to me. Lord, You are worthy to be praised, honored and glorified. i can actually say that i am a better person now, i know my mistakes and admit it if i commit one. I am changed because of Your unending love Lord, You never gave up on me. THANK YOU LORD! I LOVE YOU!
