I am Your child, and that's what that matters.

There is no disappointment in Your eyes
There is no shame, there is only pride
I am loved. Father, I'm loved by You

There is no distance in Your embrace
Over and over again You say
I am loved. Father, I'm loved by You

You are changing everything
I believe it; I receive it
You are changing everything

to witness a miracle

he who kneels before God can stand before anyone, anything, anytime

Don't let anyone make you feel you're less than, you're a mistake that happened, or even take you for granted.

It's okay to step a little far away from those that makes you feel like it. 
You will be fine. You will not be alone. 
You are held. You are kept. You are safe.

You are someone else's sunshine.
You are someone else's song.
You are someone else's sweet candy.

You are a treasure worth knowing and celebrated.
You are so precious worth every care and attention.
You are lovely just like every beautiful thing that makes you smile.

Don't let the world and man's fall take away your love.
Don't let lies and circumstances take away your joy.
You've sown and has grown, you are a work in progress.

I hope you see it, dear.
I hope you do.

could I love you anymore

Pray. Continue to pray. Even if it seems or sounds foolish, never cease praying. For this is how we fight our battles, by waiting upon the Lord and surrender. Because we know that He answers. And His answers save. His answers overwhelm. For He, Himself brings life, power and change.

Prayer works!

How do you go from making one your home and then just letting it all go?

May I serve the purpose of this season.

He has a purpose and plan for you. It may not come as you want it now... It may not be as good as how others are experiencing... But keep in mind and take heart to wait upon the Lord. Doesn't mean we don't see anything working, He's not moving. He is God, and He is good.

Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose,’ Isaiah 46:10 AMP

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 NIV

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord ; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord .
Psalm 27:13‭-‬14 NIV

Laban lang. Tiwala lang. Padayon lang. 💪👊☝️

To honor the King doesn't come only by lip service, but by actions... not just by full devotion, but also with full surrender of wills... not just by obedience, but also by enjoying.

Something about healing

Last Saturday, I got another piercing. I had it in the helix area. Actually, I used to have one. But during that time, we were on a camp and no extra earrings were allowed. It was still fresh but I removed it, because I was more afraid of someone taking it away. I tried to put it back, but it closed immediately.

Going back, I got one again. I wanted to change the pin, so I observed the pain for days and thought maybe, last night, it was fine. So yeah, I took the pin away. It wasn't easy because the pin was locked tightly; the pain was tolerable, though (mmm, or is it just me since I have high pain tolerance). 

Taking the stack in the pierce felt giddy... the sense of tingling pain made me realize that it wasn't yet fully healed. But I insisted, so taking it off, I saw a mark. I thought there'll be no blood, actually, there wasn't but it was a bruised mark since it's in a cartilage area. And as I tried to change the pin with the new one, I didn't imagine to have a hard time doing it.

It wasn't just about the pain and the pin. But the healing that was still happening. I realized that for that one new thing to settle down, it has to go through a deep and thorough settling. Time is one factor and the other is the natural way of healing.

I took the new pin again. The pain was bearable but it has a different kind of sting that makes my hands and feet cold and my tummy lurching (ya know that feeling?). Now, I have to go through the same process again, and you know what? I kinda felt afraid. Afraid that if I wont get it back again, it will close on me. Again. And the pain, what if I won't be able to endure it? What if... 

And with all the storming of what ifs? I did it again. To bravethrough. I have to. I don't know if its wrong or something, but what I observed was that, the slower I was pinning myself, colder it makes my being, thus making me stop what I do. So to finish, once and for all, I tried to locate the hole on the other side of my ear and pierced it hard to get through. Because I was kinda forceful on it, I didn't realize that the tip if the pin was sharp, so I got my thumb bleeding a bit. 

Then it's done.

Marking it here, because I got lots of things in mind lately. Not only that I got pierced but also got a pixie. See how frustrated I am with my life? Hahaha. I was at a point where there's nothing I can do and there's no one to help me in my own misery, so I just cry my way 'till the next day. Hope was so fragile, yet it's not breaking. Everything was slowly taken away, but looking into another mirror, I saw the Lord moving. And there's no where I would like to be than where my Lord, my King will be. 

I'm holding on to the truth that one day... 

One day... 

All of these things that enemy 

is trying to break, 

is trying put to death, 

is trying to destroy... 

One day...

My King will 

restore

redeem

resurrect

rescue.

All for the honor of Jesus.

Anyway, new things for new things; 

No matter what comes in the way, 

New things for new things.

Life's hard, but God is able. 💪💪💪
