The long wait is over…or is it?

The long wait is over…or is it?

We’ve prayed and sought God for this time to happen. By His grace, we were given another chance. Chance to change. Chance for revival. The body has been hurt many times already. A lot were deceived. Few were oblivious. Some were wicked. A handful endured but has since grown to a great number.

We sought for righteousness and now the time is here.

To what? Worship. But isn’t that what we’re supposed to do the time we were welcomed to the family?

To what? Seek. We should have done that even before. Earnestly.

To what? Pray. No ifs, ands, and buts about it. Do it.

To what? Heed. Heed to the call to build the kingdom and edify the body.

To what? Live like Jesus. Life that is worthy to be called His.

I sometimes wonder if God ever gets tired of us. The church has been standing for three decades now but is never strong….never solid…always soiled.

And why? Because of the people in it and the enemy that lurks.

Everyone is to be blamed. Each is accountable for his or her actions, and apathy.

But it’s time. Time to let go of the hurts and tears. Now is the time to lift our hearts and yield our whole lives to the Head of the body.

Time to live a righteous life…to the truest sense.

Time to get down on our knees and pray.

Time after time…soak our selves in the presence of the Maker.

Time…to become the children the Father wants us to be.

The purpose of His creations —To become what the gracious God wills us to be. To be able to work and live out the grandeur and majesty of His plans .

I’m going to Puerto Galera this weekend to forget a number of memories. I’d like to unload some things I know I wouldn’t need in this lifetime.

I’m excited and at the same time lonely because…because….(darn…)

On the other hand, this is what I wanna witness:

Beauty and Madness

Over there, just beneath the moon
There’s a man with a burden to keep
Sleep will fall washouts rags ‘n’ paperbargs
Home and life passing by

Chorus
Who will see the beauty in your life
And who will be there to hear you when you call
Who will see the madness in your life
And who will be there to catch you if you fall

Dreams run wild, as lovers find their way
Through the night, not a burden to keep
And over there, the twinkling of the night
Harbor lights say goodnight one more time

—> I always cry when I hear this song coz it reminds me of one person. Sigh….I’m so depressed. God help me.

Perfect Girlfriend

I don’t usually post quiz results but here goes:

You're Perfect

Perfect- You’re the perfect girlfriend. Which means you’re rare or that you cheated 😛 You’re the kind of chick that can hang out with your boyfriend’s friends and be silly. You don’t care about presents or about going to fancy placed. Hell, just hang out. You’re just happy being around your boyfriend.

But what the heck…i don’t think I am. Really. Stripe thinks I’m rare though. Ha! (Don’t all boyfriends think of their girlfriends that way?) I don’t cheat. Never. Will never ever do that. I don’t hang out with my boyfriend’s bandmates because hanging out with them means going to their numerous gigs that are usually set at night..err…that would always…always…always extend until the wee hours of the morning. And that I can’t tolerate for now. AND….it’s not true that I don’t care about presents. I care a lot about them. I’m tired of hearing “It’s the thought that counts..” , but if a guy really loves the girl …he would exhaust all his energy and resources to give the best…hehehe. (Bitter..). Don’t get me wrong, Stripe has given me a lot of nice and expensive things and has taken me to fancy places…but..but.. i want more…hihihi. (Just kidding..)

Despite all that’s been said and done…i can truly say that I’m happy just being around my boyfriend. Always…and will forever be.

33 months to go…

(FYI: my boyfriend doesn’t read my blog…labo no? so if you know him….you know what to do…dea?! )

Faith and Deeds

Faith and good works must always go together. Good deeds result from a strengthened faith in the Father. With the knowledge and awareness of God’s presence in one’s life, doing good works towards one’s fellow is but a natural tendency. It becomes the fruit of having a God who knows how to love. The first hand love given by the Lord simply flows out through His child and unto others.
