One word for 2018

Last year, my one word was SURRENDER and indeed God made sure I will surrender everything to HIM. Total surrender.

Let's see this year, but yes, I will move more-physically and spiritually.

Happy new year everyone!!

Happy Monday!

Let us all think positive, happy thoughts and let us all hope for a good week!

I know last week was not that good but that is over now. And I am certain thing will get better and better.

Nanay is now at home and recovering. My prayer is that she recovers quickly and regain her usual strength. Keeping my hopes up :)

So for those who are in stormy situations now..don't worry..remember it can't rain forever!

Inspirational Bible Verses

Am always on the look out for inspirational bible verses, and I do love sharing them in social network sites thus inspiring others too. I love reading christian blogs, reading testimonies, stories about faith of people you do not even know really inspires me. There is this one lady who had cancer while pregnant, it's amazing How God healed her and delivered her from the sickness and now the baby is almost 3 years old. Connecting with other Christian women on the online world has help me in my journey of faith. Sharing thoughts about particular bible scenes, encouraging each other and praying with each other. Internet and blogging has opened new friendship for every individual and for someone like me, it is a blessing to have christian inspirational available every time you need one.

Be inspired

Psalm 55:22

Got this in my email this morning, so good so I thought of sharing it to you.

You really need to read this.
"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."
This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician:

I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter and die - I barely managed to coast, cursing, into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn't even turn over. Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the "quickie mart " building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fell into a Gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay.

When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel.

At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95.

I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying " don't want my kids to see me crying," so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked, "And you were praying?" That made her back away from me a little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, "He heard you, and He sent me."

I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fuelling, walked to the next door McDonald's and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the
car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little.

She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she wouldn't have money to pay rent Jan 1, and finally in desperation had finally called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5 years. They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there.

So she packed up everything she owned in the car. She told the kids they were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were going to live there.

I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said, "So, are you like an angel or something?"

This definitely made me cry. I said, "Sweetie, at this time of year angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people."

It was so incredible to be a part of someone else's miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. I'll put it in the shop tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic won't find anything wrong.

Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the fl utter of their wings...

Psalms 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."

Here is the prayer:

"Father, I ask You to bless my children, grandchildren, friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace, In Jesus' precious name. Amen."

When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could You please get that for me?"

HOPE in HIM

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him

These are few lines form the song "Trust His Heart" which I found today at Nancie's blog. It stuck on me as if God is telling me that He's never mistaken,that He knows what's best for me, what's best for us.

And as I wait for that "child" as our gift from Him, I will have to put my HOPE in HIM.

And as I go through struggles in our marriage and personal lives, I will have to put my HOPE in HIM.

And as I die to myself everyday, I will have to put my HOPE in HIM.

What Love and Marriage Really Mean

“Let me be there , let me find you. let me clean you up and hold you for a while, let me give you the drugs to ease your pain as you slip away. let me be your husband and love you till the end.”

KELLY who lost his wife ANDREA days ago to cancer.

Read their wonderful story here, but let me warn you, have a hankie or tissue beside you for you will surely be in tears.

Facing the giants of our lives

Last Sunday night, we had the chance to watch “facing the giants” it was talk of the town in our church since last week. I know it has touched many lives in our youth and I just can’t wait to see it, so finally we did.

It is a Christian movie and I will recommend it again and again for everyone to see.

I was deeply touched of the coach faith in God especially in times of troubles. In his lowest moment he called on help and cried to the Lord.

Hubby and I held each others hands. The feeling of “wanting to have the baby” is so real to us, because we are on the same situation.

At the end of the movie, I was inspired, encouraged, revived.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

Here are some of the quotes that caught my heart;

“Your attitude is like the aroma of your heart. If your attitude stinks, it means your heart’s not right.”

"I've resolved to give God everything I've got and leave the results up to him."

and this one...

”If the Lord never gives us children, will you still love Him?”


I asked hubby the same question and he said

"yes, I will still love Him, serve Him and praise Him." and I know I'll do the same.
