whenever i think of all these blessings, its really overwhelming me.. God's love is truly amazing.. when He blesses you, you really have to widen up your arms coz His blessings are always bountiful and endless. No way that im gonna turn back on my past and dwell to the negative things around me. that's what keeps me away from being blessed coz i always cling to depression.. grabe, sobrang sarap ng feeling ko ngaun na im having to love myself more than i never do. thanks to all my new found friends here who taught me a lot. i'll start reading Captivating. i know I'll be changed and for that, Nothings gonna hinder God's outpouring of blessings upon me.

i just want to share what i have read yesterday from the Bible. haay, nothing truly beats the advice taken from His words..
Ecc. 3:1-14 A Time For Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and time for peace.
What does the worker gain from his toil? i have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done frome beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That every man may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it, so men will revere him.
i know and i believe that God has better plans for me, for us. sometimes, what we want is not His best plan for us, so we are discoauraged, disappointed, hurt.. But you know what, God has already planned something for us, and that plan would be the best for us. sabe nga sa Col. 3:2 "Set your minds on things which are above" we should always be optimistic to the plans that God has for us. If God is for us, then who dares to be against us? (Rom 8:31b). aun, masaya mabuhay. walang kwenta ang buhay kung walang thrill and challenges. we need to taste everything what life can offer. we need to cry, we need to be hurt. why? because God is molding us to a best person that we can be. To live at our own potential. natutuwa ako sa mga ganto, pag me problema ako, umiiyak ka sa isang sulok taz walang nakakaintindi sayo. sige, binigyan ko ng time ung sarili ko magemote. taz when i talk to God, He will really tell you His answer. anggaleng talaga..
My biggest enemy is DISAPPOINTMENT. sino ba may gusto nun? pero sabe ni Lord, me panahon para diyan, we just need to trust in Him. oo, nasaktan tayo, parte un eh. kelangan lang naten talaga iaccept un. and move on AND be POSITIVE sa future. kasi we should live in God's favor! ayoko lang kasi ng mga negative sa paligid ko. ayoko ng may nagseself-pity, oo, be sad today, pero wag lagi. kasi you're missing a lot, God wants you to grow! if you let yourself stay on bitterness, naku. pano na tayo niyan db?
aun lang. so, i expect for greater things that'll come my way. i'll be receiving bountiful blessings! i know coz i believe in Him :)
