I’VE FOUND A PLACE CAUGHT IN OPEN ARMS,
WHERE LOVE’S EMBRACE MENDS A BROKEN HEART.
HERE I WILL STAY FOR ALL MY DAYS.
DRAW ME CLOSER....

have you found your Jonathan?

Friendship in the Pit
Os Hillman

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. - Proverbs 17:17

"I am in there again," I told my friend. "The pit." A time when no one can cheer you up and you wonder if there ever was or is a God. Have you ever had such times? Discouragement can be devastating even to the best of saints. It can bring us so low. The writer of Proverbs phrased it well when he said, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick" (Prov. 13:12). When we get so low that we despair of our belief, we can identify with the prophet Elijah who wanted to die after being so discouraged with life.

"I'm coming over," my friend said.

"Aw, you don't have to do that," I said.

"I'm coming over. We're going to pray."

About 30 minutes later my friend walked in the door. We sat down on the living room floor and simply lay on our backs as my friend began to pray. I didn't feel like praying. I was too deep in the pit. All I could do was listen. After awhile my friend was quiet. We both sat quietly for ten to fifteen minutes, praying quietly to ourselves. Suddenly my friend said, "First Thessalonians 5:24!"

"What verse is that?" I asked.

"I don't know," she said. "That is the verse He spoke to me."

I grabbed my Bible and looked up the verse. "The one who calls you is faithful and He will do it."

We laughed. Can He be so personal? Can He care that much? That night I grew more in my love of my two friends, not to mention being brought out of the pit.

Do you have a friend who is there when you need somebody at any hour of the day? Are you there for your friend? Ask the Lord how you can be a better friend to someone today.

Makita..hehe

Warning! You may be surprised to see these lyrics but anyway been hearing this on some of the Singing Contests so I just put it here. :-)

Makita Kang Muli (Panday Theme)

Refrain: 1
Bawat sandali ng / aking buhay
Pagmamahal mo / ang aking taglay
San man mapadpad ng hanging
Hindi / magbabago aking pagtingin

Bridge:
Pangako natin /sa Maykapal
Na tayo lamang sa habang buhay /
Maghintay..

Chorus:
Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pagibig
Maghintay ka lamang ako’y darating
Pagkat sa isang taong mahal mo
Ng buong puso
Lahat ay gagawin
Makita kang muli, Makita kang muli,
Makita kang muli..

Refrain: 2
Puso’y nagdurusa, nangungulila
Iniisip ka pag nagiisa
Inaalala mga sandali
Nang tayo ay magkapiling
Ikaw ang gabay sa akin tuwina
Ang aking ilaw sa gabing mapanglaw
Tanging ikaw..

Chorus:
Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pagibig
Maghintay ka lamang ako’y darating
Pagkat sa isang taong mahal mo
Ng buong puso
Lahat ay gagawin
Makita kang muli, Makita kang muli,
Makita kang muli..

"month-end report" :D

previous post was june 30...so i guess this is my "month-end report". heehee...July had been quite nice, actually. july1 started off with this crazy surpirse party that Thy Marketplace, WIN-Marikina and basically the loved ones of TIta Sandy organized separately (or otherwise) for her. :) Making someone so happy you can already see the glow on their faces is such a delight. it's not simply because you know that you were a part of something that brought joy to another person. it's something more than that...it's also the knowledge that these moments are to be remembered...for each life, each second is never to be wasted..

this month also i experienced a kind of shift or change, professionally...there was this client that i had to go to three times in a week. it created something new once again for my work. perhaps this was God's way of saying or reminding us that we really have to go out into the world...share our lives, share the goodness of God...if this experience also is God's testing ground, i accept it willingly Lord...that i may be molded into Your image...

yes, the process is not easy and quick...but this morning, i am grateful He whispered into my heart...the striking question i leave you...While we await for the future glory of heaven, do we treat life like it's a living hell or do we enjoy the days we are granted to live with and for God?

if you can't answer it, then ask again, do you have Jesus inside your hearts that will give you peace and love all the days of your lives?...

To Be So Far Away From You...

To be so far away from you…
We could greet each other with smiles
But did you know my heart’s beating so hard?

To be so far away from you…
We could shake hands but still
Are your eyes searching for someone somewhere?


To be so far away from you…
An overwhelming sadness that chokes
The tiny joys of seeing you here, right now.

To be so far away from you…
To have no idea how you’re doing today
What makes you happy, or makes you sad.

To be so far away from you..
Struggling if you will even remember
Another name like mine, a face in the crowd.

To be so far away from you…
When even a message of “I’ll miss you”
I’m not at liberty to do, not a possibility.

To be so far away from you…
I could wish that I could at least
Say a decent goodbye, a hug or something of the like.

To be so far away from you..
Let me cherish the few moments of happiness
And the hope that you too are filled with so much joy.

To be so far away from you..
My only prayer is that GOD will truly
Keep you away from all probable harm.

To be so far away from you…
Is this His way of realigning our minds?
To focus on Him, our heart’s first priority.

To be so far away from you…
Holding on to a silent cry that someday
If it’s not you and me, then we’ll find our God’s best.

To be so far away from you…
All I can do is trust in God’s mysterious ways
That in time, He shall do His perfect will for both of us.

Benevolent to a fault



'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com


ok, these tests. or whatever you call them are interesting..

just when you feel like pondering your "luck", your characteristics, your temper, or your "definition", you take a test...

ang tanong lang, how true or accurate are these? whimsical ba or based on psychological tests? hehe.

anyway, the funny thing about this specific test is that you can type in your name and receive different answers. okay, talk about accuracy! ahha

God bless you all and gudnyt :)

(Would or should i be praying for sweet dreams? hmmm ;)

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.
How Boyish or Girlish Are You?
