My Song for today... - Cry Out To Jesus -

I originally posted this to my other site account on January 20/08.

To everyone who's lost someone they love
long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing
and there is no one who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They've lost all of their faith in love
And they've done all they can to make it right again
Still, it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up, but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone
in your shame and your suffering

When you're lonely, and it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus, cry out to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone, wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

Thanks Third Day!

This song is very applicable to me...

Struggles

I originally posted this to my other site account on January 20/08.

All of us have their own struggles…

Nowadays, I am thinking much of my accomplishments and I still don't have any of them… I don't know what should I gonna do… I have many dreams for my future. This is not just a normal problem because I have noticed my self quite and thinking of nothing a lot… I prefer to be alone… even my body is working but my mind is flying thinking for nothing or worrying about nothing… Oh! Nothing for nothing… I've been crying at night for nothing, see my self moody… I see it not normal and more depressive… Some of us have already been there, but I think I am on that stage now…

I take this opportunity to draw closer to God, to pray more, to read more His word. However, someone is always there for me. He comforts me whenever troubled. He makes me realized that He is always there. Whenever I felt down, whenever I felt hopeless, whenever I felt failure, He always saves me from that darkness.

But He disciplined me, as well. I gave my life to Him, dedicated my life to Him and I am still in God's process to be a "woman" He wants me to be. I thank him for giving me those struggles to let me realized things are nothing unless you let God works in your life… It is great to cry unto God. It is great to worship Him. It is great if you have problems, hardships, struggles and darkness in life because it means for opportunities. Opportunity to cry unto Him, to call unto him, and to draw unto Him… However, as a child of God, to do those things DAILY for Him is a great opportunity and He want us to do. Jesus Loves us and yes He did it at the cross … So amazing is His love… Just Believe and you will be save…

I will miss my office in Technotrade Building in R Castillo, Agdao. I am working in one of an IT outsourcing companies here in Davao City – Hubport Interactive Pro. This is my first job actually since July 2007, the reason of I finished my studies (finally!!!) just last year on April. It took long because I shifted course from BS in Elementary Education to Information Technology in University of Southeastern Philippines – total of 6 years in University – but worth it – proud to be USEPians and being an IT – we labeled as few but intelligent – loser in Intrams but winner in brain… a big favor… THANKS BE TO GOD. Anyway, I am not that good in English – to justify – I am a techi person… Hahaha! Programmers are not good in English... mao ba?... atik ra to para dili ulaw.. heheheh….

Back in our office… The company needs a bigger space and more strategic, so we need to move. Our office is now located in Matina in front of Ateneo and I think approximately 20 steps away from UM, next of Petron Gasoline Station before McDonald and MTS… Hehehe… Just wanted to specify… I will miss the Dacudao and R. Castillo where I am passing by everyday to office. My new route Bajada, Quirino , Bankerohan and from there to Matina… I was late when I first came in the office… They all asked me why am I late... I just smiled… Well, all I have to say is I will miss the things I used to, the place and the roads… Hehehe… anyway, I thank God for His mercies and love… the guides and protections… I also thank God He put me in this company with the CEO or the owner were Christians – and I really feels God's favor to them and to me… God bless this company…

I am happy of what i am now, of where i am now and what i have now. Sometimes, there are a lot of things that you think a very important or opportunities in life but was taken away from you and makes you sad, paranoid and whatever the result will be. Some commitments were compromised because of those things. Time were wasted, efforts were rejected, and sometimes betrayed. So sad :( Always remember, God allow those things to happen for reasons. To test your faith, love, patience, endurance and anything. Some friends were gone, some are just too busy and i understand them, and some were avoided for some reason. STILL... God is always by my side to comfort me and remind things to reminds.. hehehe... Time passes by... the emptiness replaced with fullness of joy, beautiful, challenging, and.. hmmm??? basta gi replace niya to better... hehehehe.. i'm sleepy... i wanna sleep...

(Pero kung napansin ninyu, New Friends mn akong title.. wala p naku natumbok akong gusto itumbok.... paningkamutan nko ha... hehehe)

I enjoyed being with you guys (the Island Hopping thing)... You will know me better because i am not what you are thinking... You might be correct of what you thinks but you might not be...

... but will post it here para madungagan sad akong post dri...
When you say friend, competition must have no place in a relationship. But why? Why am i writing this? Actually, I don't know why... One thing i know is that when you treasure someone, you must know how to give way. But please! Oh! please don't abuse it 'coz it'll leads you to destruction. Maybe you are happy now but will tell you... temporarily... yes!... but then again, will lead you to destructions. If what i desires might not be granted, then i believe, God has a purpose... God has something more wonderful for me, beyond my expectation... He knows what's best for me... Thank God... He comforts me whenever troubled... Thank God, he taught me how to be humble and not to grab others' opportunity...

Simplicity

I originally posted this to my other site account on January 20/08.

Simplicity and renunciation are acts of compassion – for ourselves, for the world around us. " Simplicity in our lifestyle expresses a care and compassion for the world.Simplicity in our hearts, letting go of opinions and craving, is an act of compassion for ourselves. When we let go of yearning for the future, preoccupation with the past, and strategies to protect the present, there is nowhere left to go but where we are. To connect with the present moment is to begin to appreciate the beauty of true simplicity.

Our Attitude

I originally posted this to my other site account on January 20/08.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.
