tuesday scribbles

writing down some thoughts on my journal last tuesday:

==

God loves it when we glorify Him with our gifts. And He gives us endless opportunities to do so. (case in point: God knows how much i love writing and He always, always, ALWAYS provides me with journals. sweet ni God no?) We should not feel unworthy or inadequate each time we are called to do His will. We must keep in mind that it is HIS SPIRIT working in and through us, not our own might and power.

  • "God's plan for us is the plan that will fit up perfectly. It will excite us the most and bring us the greatest feelings of meaning and satisfaction."
  • "The Lord will never impose on us something that hampers us from using the talents, skills, and resources that He has given to us." (from Learning to Discern)
He also honors our speedy and swift OBEDIENCE to carry out His will. It is, after all, part of His plans to: (1) prosper us, (2) not harm us, and (3) give us hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) The Bible also gives us countless promises of blessing each time we obey him (Deuteronomy 28: 1-14).

Then again, God's purpose is unchanging. Each time we fall, He promises to pick us up. Our salvation is a done deal--He has purchased our sins on the cross. The only thing we need to do is humble ourselves and ask for His grace to overcome. His grace is enough for us. God will weed out the things in us that He doesn't like and gives us extra grace to endure the rest.

senti mode

Panalangin ko sa habang buhay
Makapiling Ka Makasama Ka

Yan ang panalangin ko


At hindi papayag ang pusong ito

Mawala Ka sa 'king piling

Mahal ko iyong dinggin


Wala nang iba pang mas mahalaga

Sa tamis na dulot ng pag-ibig natin dal'wa

At sana nama'y makikinig Ka

Kapag aking sabihing minamahal Kita


Panalangin ko sa habang buhay

Makapiling Ka Makasama Ka

Yan ang panalangin ko


At hindi papayag ang pusong ito

Mawala Ka sa 'king piling

Mahal ko iyong dinggin


Wala nang iba pang mas mahalaga

Sa tamis na dulot ng pag-ibig natin dal'wa

At sana nama'y makikinig Ka

Kapag aking sabihing minamahal Kita


Panalangin ko sa habang buhay

Makapiling Ka Makasama Ka

Yan ang panalangin ko


At hindi papayag ang pusong ito

Mawala Ka sa 'king piling

Mahal ko iyong dinggin


Panalangin ko sa habang buhay

Makapiling Ka Makasama Ka

Yan ang panalangin ko


At hindi papayag ang pusong ito

Mawala Ka sa 'king piling

Mahal ko iyong dinggin


Panalangin ko sa habang buhay

Makapiling Ka Makasama Ka

Yan ang panalangin ko

joining the bandwagon

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. (wow..)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. (emphasis mine) You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. (hahaha. no comment)

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. (define "sensible.") In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. (yikes! i do not like the sound of this!)

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous. (now this spoke to me, it really did)

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
