Too blessed to be stressed.

All people who are happy have God within them. - The Alchemist

One of my favorite church songs. It is HIM I turn to just to talk, to give thanks, to ask forgiveness, to ask patience, to ask understanding, to ask almost anything. And He listens ALLL the time. I just know. His love is so unconditional that even when we've been prodigal children, He faithfully awaits our return always.

Has he been knocking on your door? Let Him in.


LEAD ME LORD

Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon
Lead me Lord Lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life

Refrain: You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord

Lead me Lord Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life

You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days Lead me, O Lord Lead me Lord

He never leaves us. It does not mean that He's not there when you can't see Him. It does not mean that He does not listen when you can't hear Him speak. He's always there. :)

Just like that quote from the shirt-We're TOO BLESSED to be stressed.

  i took off my shoes by Danielle Moler The house has been different of late. Felt differently, too. It seems empty although it isn’t. Mom has been in the US for quite some time now. We sisters manage having the house all to ourselves, looking after ‘home’ stuff and, well, of each other. Now, waking up everyday brings thoughts I would hardly entertain if I were in another time in the past, particularly in smaller pajamas. Childhood was colored with morning cartoons and playing outside and discoveries that made my young self giddy with wide eyes and little, grand episodes of whoa-look-at-that tugging of somebody else’s shirt. It was a carefree time. And I didn’t even know you have to pay for cable tv, and that there are such things as credit cards. Sometimes I wish life was as simple. Now, I’d open my eyes in the morning and reminisce about how things have changed—the ceiling looks closer, the furniture are smaller, and I don’t have to jump anymore or stand on my toes to see myself

LOVE IS STILL THE ANSWER.

| We're alive. We are loved. And we are worth it. | "It's unfair. Why are there people like them?"  I asked sadly. Like a little girl who witnessed an unamusing prank for the first time. I could hear him breathing on the other end of the line, just listening. I could hear his heart break too, as much as mine. *** I remember talking about prince charming s and happy ever afters in my journal when I was young. My teacher would remark time and again about my optimism, saying that real life is far different from how I would wish to see it---that love is far more complicated than frogs and beasts turning into our dream princes. Far less magical than fairy godmothers and sewing mice. But I loved happy endings. And I was a dreamer. "You are an overly optimistic girl. I fear your optimism will break your heart someday." *** It did. It broke my heart over and over. Yet each time, I tried to pick up the pieces over and ov

SERVE LIFE FORWARD: Travel meaningfully, Live joyfully.

| Boracay, Philippines. 2015 | I have nothing but precious words for Earl for helping me make my first trip to Boracay exceptionally memorable. He made a video of the trip , and I was very thrilled to see it and share it with the family. :) While it is true that you need a budget to travel, there is absolute truer truth  (hehe) in the cliche that the best things in life are free. Things like the feel of the warm sand between your toes as you cruise your way towards that venerably majestic point where the sea meets the shore. Or the cool morning breeze brushing up your face, bringing along with it years and years of stories of natural awesomeness--of a force that formed the rocks that hide beneath the earth, and sustained an island as beautiful as Boracay. Also making life as awe-inspiring as it already is are encounters with people who are lovely and compassionate about the world. They are a great testimony to the wondrous things one can create and inspire with kind
