When We Are Expecting For Big Things

Most of the time,we get annoyed when SMALL things are there in front of us,because we always want to receive BIG things.That's the truth,right?Every once in awhile,God will remind me to be always thankful in every single thing that He's doing in my life,whether it's big or small.He will always tell me to be joyful and just FOCUS on Him no matter what the situation is.

Today,God reminded me again when I found this quote in my notes.It was from the movie Amazing Grace.And yes!Those small things that God is doing in my life will surely mold me to the big things that He's gonna show me!I don't know when...Maybe later,maybe tomorrow,maybe next week or next month,all I know is that I can trust Him. :) I believe that it's one of the molding process wherein God will stretch our faith in Him, if we will remain faithful and obedient even if there are no beautiful storms from Him.He will fill us through those drips.So look beyond those little things that are happening in your life!Be thankful and pray that God may open your eyes and heart to see what He's up to!:) You'll be surprised with His answer!:) Let's be faithful in this drizzle season!:) Let's pray together!Okay?:) Let's go!:D 

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."-(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."-(Romans 12:12)

"Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

    and the fields produce no food, 
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
I will be joyful in God my Savior."
-(Habakkuk 3:17-18)

He Unveiled Me For His Purpose

It's Not Just A One Time Big Time Thing

I hope that we're not like this in our relationship with God.At first,we're so excited and shouting at the top of our lungs "I WAS LOST BUT NOW I'M FOUND!I AM FORGIVEN!" the next second,we don't mind of what Jesus did on the cross anymore.How's your heart now?How's your relationship with God now?Do you still remember the first time that someone shared the Good News to you?-"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."-(John 3:16) or your first encounter with Jesus?I hope and pray that you'll have the heart to crave for God more and more just like a baby craves for milk.Before,I settled for less.I told myself that I don't need to read His Word and go to church anymore because,I'm already saved and I already know Him.But I WAS WRONG.I was so far from close,and I am still far from close to all He is.I learned that I should always be excited every second of my life because of Him.It is not just a one time big time thing,but it's an every heart beat thing.I still have a lot to learn!

The truth is....

Where Am I?

Welcome to the Unknown World!:)

There are times that we don't really know where we are in our lives.We don't know and understand the things that are happening,then questions and doubts start to bombard our minds and hearts.Next thing you know you're just SAYING HELLO TO HARDSHIPS,SUFFERINGS,CHALLENGES AND PAIN!*ouchie*

"Challenges that threaten or overwhelm you are the very tools God uses to bring you to greater strength and maturity. He sends some challenges into your life;others,He merely allows. As you endure these times, you develop greater wisdom,integrity, and courage to face whatever comes your way. Challenges keep you from being comfortable and satisfied with the status quo, and force you to follow God's leading into uncharted waters.View your challenges as occasions for spiritual growth!"

-(The One Year Mini for Women)

I love how Paul viewed his hardships as instruments for God's glory.He really lived joyfully that Christ is preached.

"And I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters,that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News."-(Philippians 1:12)

"..so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice."-(Philippians 1:18)

I hope and pray that we will accept every challenge that we will be facing.God will always teach us something.Something that we never knew before.God always has a purpose,just trust Him like Paul!:) It's really a testimony!If you think that where you are right now makes you feel like there's no hope.If you think that you can't see anymore because of the darkness of this life,then I hope and pray that you will find hope in God's light no matter how dark it is."You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light."-(2 Samuel 22:29) May the precious Lamp be your guide in the hopeless place.Open your eyes and accept His offer.He will surely light your path.He will never break His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you. 

You are the Life to my heart and my soul
You are the Light to the darkness around me
You are the Hope to the hopeless and broken
You are the only Truth and the Way

-(No Sweeter Name by Kari Jobe)

I Was A Boy

No,this is not my brother.HAHA!Hello to the kiddo me!:D When I was a kid,I'd really play with my boy cousins and I felt like I was one of them!I played computer games(wrestling,Counter Strike,etc.),pellet guns(OUCH!),LIVE wrestling(HAHA!Another OUCH!),and many more.I know,you can't imagine me now doing those things.HAHA!But hey!It's fun!I really enjoyed it!It was our bonding time!:) Another thing,I felt like I was my dad's son!Well,I wanted to(not literally ha!)!HAHA!Because I'd rather watch action/sci-fi/criminal movies and shows with him, instead of watching chhheeesssyy love stories with my sisters.HAHA!:))

But the time came wherein I found out that I'm not a boy,I really thought I was.HAHAHA!Kidding!=)))Okay,seriously..I'd still play games with them except the live wrestling and pellet guns!HAHAHA!I still love watching those shows with my dad.I can't remember what I was thinking during those years,why I'd play with my cousins and stuff.Maybe because I wanted to fit in,because we are in the same generation in our family.As if they'd play Barbie with me!HAHAHA!=))) But the thing is,I was one of the boys,just wanted to have fun and enjoy life and I wasn't aware that there's something more beyond my life that time.I wasn't aware that I AM GOD'S PRINCESS WITH A GREAT DESTINY.The time came wherein I FOUND MY PURPOSE IN LIFE!I FOUND MY PURPOSE IN JESUS CHRIST.

I was a boy,now,I'm a woman of God.Hehe!:))

Now,here I am,a woman of God who has found her purpose in life. A purpose that is worth living for. In this world,I am nothing,I am a nobody.But in His world and kingdom,I am an heir,I am special and loved by the KING.Every heartbeat is His purpose for me.God pursued me through the years,and here I am now,living the life where He has called me,and this is what I want to do my whole life.I pray that I will always have the heart to hear and obey His call,always and forever.

Just like Rebekah in the Bible I'd always want to say "I will go."-(Genesis 24:58) when God calls me to.I want to always be READY,WILLING AND ABLE to do His purpose in my life!:)

Immeasurable Love

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G jaw dropping+heart leaping photos from http://n-a-s-a.tumblr.com  :) Check the website out for some more!:)

¹⁴ When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,¹⁵ the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.¹⁶ I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. ¹⁷ Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. ¹⁸ And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. ¹⁹ May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.-(Ephesians 14-19,NLT)

What Fathers Do

Max Lucado is really one of my favorite authors and this is the book that I am currently reading.

Oh yeah!Btw,it's the Mid-Year Prayer and Fasting!:) Just want to greet all those who are participating a HAPPY HAPPY PRAYER AND FASTING!:) Back to this book...As I was reading it earlier,there's a story that really melt my heart.It's the story of Derek and Jim Redmond.I immediately went to my #3 best friend(GOOGLE.Haha!) for more information about them and I found this!Please please please do watch this video. :")

Arrghhhhh!!Very touching story right?:")

1.)Derek believed that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.He really persevered until the end even if he's already in pain.

2.)His dad,Jim Redmond,was wearing a t-shirt that read "Have you hugged your child today?" and a hat that challenged,"Just Do It." Myygoollaayy!!:"> It's so sweeeeet!

3.)This conversation happened...

Dad:"You don't have to this."

Son:"Yes,I do."

Dad:"Well,then,we're going to finish this together."

AND YES!!!THEY FINISHED THE RACE TOGETHER!:"""") *cry cry*

4.)Because his son is in pain, this dad moved like a ninja just to help his son finish one important race of his life,and Max Lucado is right!"That's what fathers do"!

5.)In connection with the mid-year prayer and fasting,I just want to share these thoughts from Max Lucado, "God is more moved by our hurt than our eloquence.What made the father do it?Was it the strength of his child?No,it was the pain of his child. His son was hurt and fighting to complete the race.So the father came to help him finish. God does the same. Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempt may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it,our prayers do make a difference."

6.)And as for me,"The One who is listening to our prayers is greater than the one who is stopping us from praying!" :)

Midterms

Dear everyone who's having midterms this week:

1.)Before anything else,PRAY and BELIEVE!Yes,there are so many things to do and all.But is it gonna hurt you to just pray for a second?

"Do not be anxious about anything,but in everything,by prayer and petition,with thanksgiving,present your requests to God."-(Philippians 4:6)

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."-(Matthew 21:22)

2.)Ask God for WISDOM. 

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."-(James 1:5)

3.) This one could really help you to stay positive and remain a right attitude.STOP COMPLAINING.

"Do everything without complaining or arguing."-(Philippians 2:14)

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."-(Philippians 4:13)

4.)Be HUMBLE enough to trust God.

"Humble yourselves,therefore,under God's mighty hand,that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."-(1 Peter 5:6-7)

4.)Keep fighting loike a NINJA!Haha!PERSEVERE!

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,you will receive what he has promised."-(Hebrews 10:36)

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial."-(James 1:12)

5.)Don't lose HOPE.

"Be strong and take heart,all you hope in the Lord."-(Psalm 31:24)

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."-(Romans 8:18)

6.)Be in FAITH that you can do it until the end.

"Why are you so afraid?Do you still have no faith?"-(Mark 4:40)

"Have faith in God."-(Mark 11:22)

"For nothing is impossible with God."-(Luke 1:37)

7.)Be THANKFUL and JOYFUL ALWAYS!

"Consider it pure joy,my brothers,whenever you face trials of many kinds."-(James 1:2)

"Be joyful always;give thanks in all circumstances,for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."-(1 Thessalonians 5:16,18)

8.)This is NOT HELL WEEK!!!THIS IS GRACE WEEK!!

"And the grace of God was upon him."-(Luke 2:40)

"My grace is sufficient for you,for my power is made perfect in weakness."-(2 Corinthians 12:9)

9.)And above all else,DO IT ALL FOR GOD.

"Serve wholeheartedly,as if you were serving the LORD,not men."-(Ephesians 6:7)

"You are the light of the world."-(Matthew 5:14)
