i'm God's princess :)

"Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases."
-Song of Songs 8:4

hmm.. I can't sleep. Dunno why.. it is because of the incident happened at the church or the story told by my friend?

I keep reminding myself nowadays that if it is God's will, it will happen! :)
My heart's prayer is that God will give me the patience to wait for my God's best and He will give me wisdom to counsel my friend/s regarding heart issues. By His Spirit, I will know what to say and what not to say.

I'm currently reading "What to do until love finds you". I'll promise that I will share the highlights of this book at my blogs. It will be coming soon.. hehe. Allow me to finish it before the month ends. ukie?!:)

I'm God's PRINCESS.
I'm His child.
I'll keep trusting Him for my PRINCE. :)

Love God, Love People

It hurts.. I don't know why there are some people as if they existed just to pull you down, down and down.. and they'll never stop hurting you. But you know what hurts more? If those people are the people you're really close with.

People will hurt, annoy and disappoint you in some point of our lives. But whenever I think of God's grace, I realized that these people needs grace too. Grace is God showing His love to you even though you don't deserve it.

Aside from the physical wounds, God can heal heartaches.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
—Psalm 147:3

I can't change them but God can. What I can do is to show them the love and grace that I have received from Him.

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you (Luke 6:27-28).

What if you're enemies didn't apologize?

Let us follow Jesus' example: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34).

And let us not be carried away by our emotions easily because maybe we just misinterpret that person too. That person might be on a personal crisis, exhausted, busy and distracted. These past few days, I can say that I'm getting 'manhid' na because what my friend finds offending from someone else's words that was being thrown to me.. deadma lang sa akin..d ko na kasi pansin e..hehe.. :D

The reason behind it...
Love God, Love People.
It's love month anyway. :)
But even if its not the season of hearts,lets love in every season. ("v")

white flag

Thursday is my 2nd favorite day of the week. (next to sunday) :)

I'm off to duty every thursday and my typical thursday is rest, rest and rest. I don't know for today why all of a sudden I want to start making blogs. Maybe because I've read a lot of blogs and was inspired to have my own or maybe I was a frustrated writer before. I remembered that I want to be a writer in my school's newspaper when I was in highschool. Guess what happened? I failed. My teacher disapproved the articles I submitted. Since then, I realized that writing is not for me. Oopps... my first entry should not be about frustrations..haha but rather surrendering. It seems that both were negative. But what I meant here is surrendering to God. To His CALL. To His PLAN. To His WILL. It's like raising the white flag in a battle. So because its the first month of the year, my first step is to raise my white flag to God. My white flag represents my plans in life and my future. I don't know what might happen to me on the future but one thing is for sure.. I have a God that is faithful and all-knowing. Raising white flag doesn't mean your weak or your resigning but instead you have a willingness to accept what God sends with open hands. And you keep on trusting Him to drive the wheels of your life.


Here's the lyrics of the song "Trust His Heart" and may we always be reminded to trust His heart.


All things work for the good
Though sometimes we can't
See how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see him,
Remember He's still on the throne
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understands and
When you don't see his plan
When you can't trace his hand
Trust His Heart
He sees the master plan
He holds the future in his hand,
Don't live as those who have no hope,
While our hope is found in him.
We see the present clearly
But he sees the first and last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me,
To someday be just like him
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you.


And here's a verse to remember:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

-Jeremiah 29:11



Some people said that writing is a form of schizophrenia.(schizophrenia is a mental disorder)

But let me assure you that I'm not schizophrenic but a believer in Christ and still under God's construction.



How about you? Is there's any white flag in your life?

Pause.Think.
Pray about it.
Trust His heart.
