Be... Still... Know

This article is from: Daily Wisdom For everything there is a season. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:1-7 I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. Psalm 62:1 (NLT) First it looked sort of foggy. After the sun burned away the mist, we could see the beautiful hot air balloon. I wondered if it was quiet up there in the basket, under the balloon. I've not ever been up in one of those, but when I tried paragliding, the noise of the wind currents surprised me. I had totally expected silence. Quiet. Not an easy thing. A prayer I find myself saying often (maybe too often!) is for my mouth to stay closed at the right times, and not say anything, as well as prayers to say the right thing. It's difficult for me to be still. Period. I'm a fairly active person. If I'm not up and doing something, I am thinking of what I will do when I do get up and going. I was reminded, about two weeks after seeing the hot air balloon, about this bein

Getting Back My Sanity

After 5 days of losing grip to my sanity, I finally have it back in its regular shape. Last week, I was crazily worried with my boyfriend due to the fact that he was stranded in an island because of a typhoon. He was not able to send a message to me and to his family. God only knows how I spent those days, lack of sleep and couldn't eat. Alas! Monday came ad my boyfriend was back..to all my friends, thank you so much for the prayers....i was relieved..so happy...and i'm back to life's track.

Waiting and Worrying

The typhoon "Reming" is on it's second day here in the Philippines. Some provinces were severely affected. Many families evacuated to their corresponding shelters, trees were being uprooted, debris were flying, some people died. But here in Iloilo City, the sun is beaming on us. Today is a bright and sunny holiday (the president declared a holiday in honor of Andres Bonifacio). A day perfect for picnic and swimming. I should celebrate my birthday today because I wasn't able to do it yesterday....but where am I? Here in the office, facing my pc, waiting and worrying. I can't help it. I'm really worried about my boyfriend. I trust God but I can't stop this human nature. He's been out there, stranded in Masbate where PAGASA raised the signal of the typhoon to #2. Gosh, I can't just sit here and wait for nothing. I have not received any text message from him today....Oh know...I don't know what to do....I wasn't able to eat properly and to sle

Counting Blessings On My Birthday

Today is my birthday. I’m living for 23 years here on earth, too long for just wandering under the bright sun. Today, even though I’m quite busy with my work, I’ll pause for a while to examine and take a look upon the blessings I have though I know I may not worth it. ++ I thank God for my life…though sometimes I think I’m worthless. Well, everybody plays a role in the ecosystem. Look at the planktons, algae, earthworms…etc.. ++I thank God for my family… though they were not perfect and no matter what they do we still belong to the same bloodline. ++ I thank God for my work… though I am not really happy with it still it feeds my sister and me. ++ I thank God for my country (Philippines)… though other nations viewed it as corrupt, poor, and “nanny outsourcing” counrty still, I am proud to be Pinoy… gifted…talented…dedicated. ++ I thank god for my friends… though some of them were out of reach, at least they will be in my treasure chest forever. ++ I thank G

#12 I Can't Foget You

I tried to say that I don’t love you But I’m a fool if I do Cause you’re my strength and my joy My shield in every journey You are so special in my heart I don’t know why but I’m hurt To say how much I love you Though I cannot show it to you I think for many times To ignore you in my heart Still you’re the one who owns No one can ever blown Your eyes are like thorns Of roses which begun to glow And also begun to grow In my heart full of sorrow Go! Go! I don’t love you Even if it hurts me so I will just keep it to myself Without expressing to thy self You! Oh so cute girl Cause to make my life curl Making it so ugly Like a lily in a deserted valley Why? I asked God Such question may be senseless But I really need to know What God has tried to show? How amazing life is Harder than the stone But God made you To make me glow Facing you I cannot do Loving me you can’t do too But only one thing I’ll

#11 How Can I Doubt Him

How can I doubt Him? How can I fear? When I know Jesus Is standing so near? When I know that Jesus Is walking by my way All of my nights And all of my days He is my Master I am His Slave He is the King I owe Him everything Help me remember That Christ is by my side Never forgetting The grace that He supplied His love lives forever As I'll serve Him each day Dear God, help me honor His steadfast love every day

A Daddy's Tribute (Maybe)

Her hair was up in a ponytail Her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, And she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, That she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, If she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; She knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates Of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, For her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, She tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, Eager to tell them all. About a dad she'd never see A dad who never calls. from: "Daily Thoughts" http://eesutant.blogspot.com/ Yesterday, I was randomly surfing for other blogs and something made me stop when I was viewing this blog. I saw this poem about "a daddy". I felt that I was that little girl and her daddy was mine. My dad was staying at home and was living with us but he seemed to be a tiny speck in my life. He was
