You Are An Original

I know that fashion is all about clothes,jewelries,accessories,glam,beauty,etc. and that's the world that I'm in right now because of my course. Yes,as a fashion design student,I get to see a lot of those things. But the Word of God taught me how to not be concerned on the outward appearance because what's important is the beauty that comes from within. His Word also tells me that "I am fearfully and wonderfully made."-(Psalm 139:14) and so are you. :) 

Through fashion,I want to tell the whole world about God's love and that our identity is with Him and not on the clothes that we wear. It's contradicting right? But I believe that He has called me to be here to make a difference. Little by little I'll spread His Message through arts and fashion not just here in Manila but to the ends of the earth.All for His glory! :) Nothing is impossible right? :)

So right now,I want to tell you that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME BECAUSE GOD CREATED YOU.DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS BECAUSE GOD MADE YOU UNIQUELY.YOU ARE AN ORIGINAL.GOD IS YOUR IDENTITY AND NOT THE CLOTHES THAT YOU WEAR.:)

^"3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. ⁴ Rather, it should be that of your inner self,the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."-(1 Peter 3:3-4)

"The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."-(1 Samuel 16:7)

When You're Suffering,Keep Changing The World

I haven't been active here for a while because of so many reasons. God has been really molding my heart,my character,actually...Every part of me!*I don't know what emoticon to use here* HAHAHA!

But this one's for all the people out there who are fighting the same battle that I'm fighting.The battle called life.

"I see the sun coming up 
It's a brighter day 
Let's show the world that love is a better way 
So lend a hand join the fight 
'Cause time is ticking away 
Keep changing the world"

-Keep Changing The World by Mikeschair

YES!!!Let's keep changing the world, even though we are suffering,in pain,heartbroken or whatever situation you are in right now!Use it to change the world! :) YOU AND I ARE WORLD CHANGERS BECAUSE GOD IS WITH US! :) DON'T WORRY,GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING :)
Just look at Nick Vujicic's story here.

10.) Pay It Forward

Thank You

I use ODB as my devotion every morning, and this morning it was about giving thanks.After reading it,I started talking to God and I realized that I should really be thankful that God didn't answer some of my prayers in the past-because there are hidden motives in them.Haha! I am really thankful to where God has brought me today-because each and every day is a chance to hear from Him and to be more deeper in love with Him,whether I'm in a difficult situation or not.And I am really thankful for His plans for me tomorrow-because I know that wherever He brings me it is where I have never imagined but it is the best plan for me.

"We can make our own plans,but the Lord determines our steps."

-(Proverbs 16:9)

"You can make many plans,but the Lord's purpose will prevail."

-(Proverbs 19:21)

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

-(Jeremiah 29:11)

Hi,thank you for reading my blog!:) I hope and pray that you'll see the beauty in where you are right now in your life even though you don't see the purpose yet.I pray that you will feel God's embrace today.Be blessed and be joyful! :)

Songs This Season

"She is worth far more than rubies.Many women do noble things,

    but you surpass them all.”

-(Proverbs 31:10,29)

"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."

-(Hebrews 11:8)

"For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, 

saving everyone who believes"

-(Romans 1:16)

Season of Fruits

1-Oh, the joys of those who do not
    follow the advice of the wicked,
    or stand around with sinners,

    or join in with mockers.

2-But they delight in the law of the Lord,

meditating on it day and night.

3-They are like trees planted along the riverbank,

bearing fruit each season.

Their leaves never wither,

and they prosper in all they do.

-(Psalms 1:1-3)

I'm A Ninja

3 days ago,when I was already about to leave the house to go to school I became a ninja and this happened.....

HAHAHA!Okay,I really have no intention of sharing this incident,but I just had a revelation about it.Hehe!It happened all of a sudden,I didn't expect it at all.I was just going down the stairs and BOOM!I just missed ONE STEP and I already got this.HAHA!:)) This made me realize that in this life/in our walk with God,He wants us to go through ALL THE STEPS.As in STEP BY STEP,slowly but surely method and it's His process of preparing and molding us until we land on His floor.

Sometimes we think that one step is just a little step and we'll have this desire of cheating and just skip/miss it.But what we don't know is that it's the most important step that we ought to pass before that ginormous plans that God has prepared for us,and if we missed it,it can hurt us just like missing a step in the stairs.Not physically,but spiritually or emotionally.God knows His plans for us(Jeremiah 29:11) and in His right time He will respond to us and His plans shall prevail.(Isaiah 49:8) so don't go ahead of Him and miss that itsy bitsy tiny important step. :)

God has really been teaching me to appreciate those little things this season of my life and I am grateful for it even this incident.This reminded me of being joyful always and be thankful in all circumstances.(1 Thessalonians 5:16,18)

What step are you in right now?I hope and pray that you won't skip that step because it's too hard or too boring for you.Listen to what God is telling you.Be quiet and listen. :)

2ne1

Annyeonghaseyo,2+1 years.HAHAHA!How time flies so fast,if only I could be Peter Pan.Oh,can I be Louie Pan?Louie Pandesal?HAHA!:)) But despite the fact that I am growing old my number is getting higher,my heart is so full of gratitude to God for giving me life that is worth living because of Him.

Spending time and having dinner with my family during my birthday has always been the best part for me because of the good food!HAHAHA!And of course!Because of the love the surrounds us.NAKS!:)) This year,we had CHAH-nese!:))

TRIVIA:I'm not a fan of Chinese food.HAHA!But Lili's good so YAY!:)

Fluffy friends greeted me!

Don't you love their spoon?!

Before and after of the pecking duck.

These 2 boys are like my brothers already.They were my playmates when we were still kids,
that's why I was one of the boys.Haha!I'm so blessed to have them as my cousins
because I learned wrestling and pellet guns from them!HAHA!

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;

    you formed me in my mother’s womb.

I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking.

Body and soul, I am marvelously made!

  I worship in adoration—what a creation!

You know me inside and out,
 you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day.

-(Psalm 139:13-16)

Surely, He has already laid out everything before I could ever breathe my first breath, and one of His plans for me has always been to be feel loved by the people around me :) Can't wait to spend more birthdays with Him!:)

To See Is To Believe

The first time I saw the trailer of Life of Pi,I already fell in love with it because of its quote,"believe the unbelievable". As you can see in my header,it's my life quote as well. :) And yahay!I got to watch it yesterday with Jamie :) I love the cinematography and all!:) Read this write-up to learn more from the movie,but warning:it has spoilers!:)

Are you the kind of person who'd believe and settle to what's believable in the eyes of other people?

Are you gonna just always say "I have to see it first before I believe."?

Will you believe the unbelievable? 

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."-(2 Corinthians 4:18)

Only Him

One of my revelations during my 10 days missions to Mongolia(Yes,I went there!Haven't blogged about it too.Hee!:D) is that ONLY GOD can bring different people together.Language/Cultural barriers are nothing compared to the love of Christ that brings unity in us!His arms bond us together.HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD,RIGHT? :')
