A Woman

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart

-and she will do everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."



"But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own
heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.

The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."

And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

However, if there is one flaw in women, it is that they forget their worth.

TobyMac - I'm For You




Tell me where its hurting
Are you burning?
Running just to catch your breath
And going nowhere
It's getting old when you feel like you got nothing left
Well it ain't over 'til it's over
I told you since the day we met
So let me be the voice through all the noise
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you

Whatever you need from me
To see you through
Everyone of us has stumbled
Everybody's humbled
We hit the ground and our lives crumble

Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true

I know the feeling
I know it's real when the drama's all in your face
You see a mountain
I hear a promise - it's never more than we can take
Well it ain't over, 'til it's over
We can learn from our mistakes
So let me be the voice through all the noise

Everyone of us will fall
Have our backs against the wall
And everyone shares a need to be loved

You've always been for me
So I will be for you
That's just what it means to love

Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true

Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true

Everytime you fall, I'll be for you,
If you back's against the wall, I'll be for you,
Cause you've always been for me, I'll be for you,
I'll be for you, I'm for you.
If you never knew,
If you never knew,
I'm for you.

I'm for you, like you're for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you, like you're for me, like you're for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you like you're for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you like you're for me, like you're for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you like you're for me, like your for me, like I'm for you,

I'm for you

outside calling hours...not!

i've been calling americans on their phone numbers for almost two years. one of my shifts starts at 5am, which is usually early afternoon in the united states.

unlike in the philippines, where 5am in aparri is also 5am in jolo, the US follows four different time zones. on certain times of the day, the computer automatically stops dialling certain states because of time zone restrictions. the states become "outside calling hours."

as the shift progresses, we have less states to contact, lesser accounts to dial, and, naturally, lesser and lesser people to contact. if you're making habol on your sales, you'll be desperate and dial like there's no tomorrow. there's that impending feeling of doom, especially if you're rarin' to meet your daily quota. or if you need to meet that 3pm deadline to pass the final. or if you need to pay that bill, else you might get disconnected for life. or if you've done everything humanly possible and you're hanging on a frayed string for dear life.

when time seemingly is running out on you, what do you do?

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3 NIV)

God will never, ever, EVER be outside calling hours. He's available--24/7/365--so even if you're still up at 3:30am tossing and turning on your bed hoping and praying for a miracle to fall from heaven, He will hear you. His ears are never too dull to hear!

and once you call to Him--there will never be a busy signal, a disconnected number, or faxtone. not only will he hear you, He'll listen to you, no matter how big or small your concern is. sometimes we tend to think that we have to be a certain way before we can approach Him, thus being all conscious about ourselves. that if we use "proper" words and phrases, or do "certain" things, we'd be able to catch His attention. hello, He knows our inmost being! did He not create the most minute fibers of our selves in our mom's wombs? He already knows who we are--He wants us to be aware of who that person, that man or woman, that He's made us to be.

God won't be too busy saving the world from eternal damnation, roll His holy eyes, smite you with lightning, or "talk-to-the-hand" at you. He'll meet you where you're at. He'll stoop down to make you great (and He did already, when He brought Jesus to the world!). because YOU, child of God, are destined for greatness.



You came near when I called You, and You said, "Do not fear." (Lamentations 3:57)
