I LIVE TO LOVE...I LOVE TO LIVE..
For me, everyday is a challenge to rediscover my hidden traits, talents,tendencies and purpose.
I just love the way i am made..
I love my life..
I love the people around me
and i, still, am learning to love even those who bring challenges and make my existence a little more exciting..
and i believe that there is someone who loves me more than what the word love can express...
..the sole reason of my existence and why and how i learned to love and appreciate everything around me...He is my GOD...who happens to be your God as well.
and yes..i STAND...to WORSHIP HIM.. ^-^

It does not therefore depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. For the scripture says " I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. -Romans 9:16-17

..finally…we saw each other again… after 2 years…
the last time i saw her was on her highschool graduation day..
hmm..let me share a bit of history about how we became friends..oh well..actually..sisters by heart..
i met her when i was still actively serving as a Highschool Program Volunteer (HPV) in YFC..i’ve been quite like a missionary back then going to schools and reaching out highschool students but that just for a very short while..hehe..i was a newly college grad and if i remembered it right, she was on second year highschool that time..i honestly cannot recall exactly how we became close..(was it during the YFC-ILC held at tagaytay?) but yeah..all i know is that she wasn’t hard to get along with..being a sweet and jolly little kid… By the way..she is one of those persons who used to bite my shoulders..haha..and it damn hurts!Lol!
though vulnerable…i do appreciate her good heart and her being selfless…i so love this girl…and i bet she knows that..this crybaby will always be my babysis.. ^-^
and i know for sure that God has a lot great plans and moldings to do with her to soon become a strong and noble lady, being all the more a blessing to every people around her.. ^-^

i thank God that though i wasn’t feeling good physically (guess it was because of my eyes again that cause the disturbing headache)…it was Him who works through me that i was able to teach kids in 2 services yesterday.. i thank the Lord for the strength and wisdom…I was able to attend the adult service too for spiritual strengthening…and since it was Mother’s day, moms who were present during the service were acknowledged…It was heartwarming seeing husbands praying for their wives..such an awesome view.. ^-^ and lastly..i was able to catch up on my mom..and together of course with the other members of the family had a bountiful dinner in a nice resto..im happy that i saw her grateful for what we gave her..
During the Kids Service….i taught about being FEARLESS…of how trusting God can overcome fears..but ironically..i was the one who was so worried..thinking if i could just split my body into two so that the other one could be there with my family and the another could stay in the church doing what i also love to do.. I never want my mom to feel left out and disappointed especially on her special day however, i also didn’t want to compromise my commitment in the ministry..I’d thought about all the possible ways that i could do to fix my schedule, but failed to come up with a good solution..and so…i was left with using my greatest weapon.. PRAYERS…Just as the Power Truth in our lesson said.. “I can trust God in times of need”…and just as how Elijah trusted God to work things out to provide his needs..though still with some fear,i did what i ought to do and leave everything up to Him to settle..And amazingly…God worked it out…I was able to finish my lesson and the greater thing is…that God once again showed that He really can change hearts.. In our Bible story yesterday afternoon, God was able to use ravens…yes..ravens which used to be pests..birds that annoy farmers because they steal food and grains..but were used to bring food for Elijah..In my situation..i expected my mom to get mad at me because i left them waiting for an hour..Like i was before, she hates to wait..but thanks to God that i’d seen her still in a good mood ..guess,my charm played a part there also!hehe.. we went to a resto and there we had our dinner..my treat, by the way…that was a little pricey but seeing them enjoying it..made me feel that it really was worth spending.
Mother’s Day…i honestly wasn’t able to prepare much for this like what i used to do.i ran out of great ideas actually…i didn’t want to do the usual gimmicks and give common gifts either..but though a dinner treat wasn’t that peculiar, i thought of doing it since i haven’t done it before and that im sure it would seem unusual for them for they knew how frugal i am when it comes to my own money..hehe..and yes it worked!and a simple bracelet too added to the magic…^-^
i love my mom..despite of her imperfections…regardless of her being prideful. in spite some of her outlooks that for me, seems so unreasonable..i love her…and i couldn’t, wouldn’t and never think about any reason to not love her back..because i think loving me and being able to raise me up is the most noble yet the weirdest thing one could ever do..
they say…we, humans, are finite beings…
..we get tired…we can run out time, resources and even emotions..we get old..and we die…
..but there’s one thing i cannot figure out why i cannot let go of though my mind says i should..
..though my heart says it’s tired holding it in..from being trampled over and over…
..all i do know is that things happen for a reason…certain feelings are there for a purpose..
..Jesus bore all the pain…
..paid the price for a debt that He never owed…
..though fearful…He followed..
..thus, His obedience and faithfulness cause humanity’s salvation…
..and i know all will be worth it in the end..
..pain? yeah..i will never get used to it..
..but i know that’l make me stronger..
..so love until there’s love to give..
