When You Believe

When I read the story of Moses I couldn't help but be touched by the holy spirit and watching Prince of Egypt moved me again and again that it kept me crying from start to the very last end of the movie. And this is my favorite part... It is WHEN YOU BELIEVE... God bless the spirit of those who were touched by this... God bless us all!



"And without faith it is impossible to please Him. For he who comes to God must believe that He IS and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seeks Him."
Hebrews 11:6

Trust and Obey


We have to learn a lot of things in life. The challenges or trials that come our way are always with a purpose. Those are considered in His plans... plans to give us prosperity and for His glory. All we have to do is stop, look and listen to what He is telling us. Obey... follow Him and be patient as the result manifest, because God... He knows what’s best for us.

If we have to crawl for it then let’s crawl and giving up is not the key for we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Let us not give up; Hold on and have faith.


"Who is among you that fears the Lord, That obeys the voice of His servant, That walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God."
Isaiah 50:10

A Reason To SMILE ^_______^

Isiah 49:15 God said "I will not forget you"
Isiah 54:10 Yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken.

For someone whom you really love say those words to you, can HE not make you smile?

HIS words and promises are the only happiness i treasure, because in HIM my heart is rested and never will be broken.

I smile because i have HIM..
I smile because HE says the sweetest words that no man can ever say or promise.

in a text message it says:
Fallin in love with God is the greatest romance.
Searching HIM is the greatest adventure.
Finding HIM is the greatest achievement
and...
Being with HIM is the greatest source of JOY!


So why would I not smile especially waking up in the morning if knowin' that someone up there is looking after me? not a stalker but GOD.

GOD for me is the reason to smile

I Am A Sheep

I want to be a dolphin as one of Earth's most intelligent animal. I see dolphins as the most beautiful and loving animal. They are also braver than I thought, because they can protect swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging sharks to make them go away. They are also one of our multitalented animals in the world. They are my favorite.

I want to be a dragon. Yes, a "dragon", a legendary creature that only appears in the myth of many cultures. I'd like to be one neither because of its mystery nor its fierceness and pride that it portrays, but often said they are wiser than humans. They are also being associated with wisdom and longevity, and are commonly said to possess some supernatural power or some forms of magic. And I also wish to posses some kind of sort to be able to do anything with all my might.

I would also wish to be an eagle. Eagles soar above the winds of adversity. They are strong, resilient, and independent. They are everyone's icon and a national symbol of 12 countries (as I've counted it). They resemble those who achieved success in their lives.

I wanted to be like them, however. I am not. Despite of being a human, I am also called to be a sheep, or better yet God called me 'one' and I openly accept that "I AM".

Yes, I am a sheep. A human sheep that is helpless, hopeless, stubborn, hardheaded sheep that easily be attacked by the enemy, the carnivores, the soul and flesh takers. I called them wolves. Wolves never fear the sheep even the sheep’s counterattack when they make their way into the flock, for they know that even the biggest, baddest sheep in the flock can only do very little to defend itself. They can only survive in the wolves’ hunger by the protection from their shepherd and his staff. Sheeps are not fearless, they are passive, notorious followers that mindlessly follow anything that catches their attention, very dependent most specially to their shepherd. They are not even known for their intelligence; they are that stupid, so helpless and in need of guidance... and I admit being one.

I am not actually proud of it, but that's what I am identified with. It deflates my pride and exposes my independence as a myth. However, I am glad to be, because Psalm 23 helped me understand that being one is what God wants me to be. This gave me comfort and reassurance that my life is in line with His. “The Lord is my Shepherd… I shall not want”. He is the Shepherd. Powerful, mighty, sovereign; loving, gentle, tender… and I cannot survive living without Him.

King David admitted what the psalm calls us all to understand. We don’t manage our own destinies; we are not in control of our lives. We don’t even own ourselves. You and I belong to the Lord. He owns us, He is Lord over us. Like a shepherd, He decides what is best for us. (Mark A. Tabb)

Living as a sheep I humble myself before Him, the Shepherd. Jesus declared this on the thirty-fourth chapter of Ezekiel:

I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so I will look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness… I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord… I will shepherd the flock with justice.

I depend my life upon Him, surrendering everything to Him placing everything I have at His disposal. Wherever He leads me, I will go. His will takes precedence over my agendas.

“The Lord is my Shepherd. No more wandering. No more choosing my own way. The Shepherd is calling; I must follow.”
