You don't give up the ones you love.

There is no reason to worry; no, do not be anxious. We don't live defeated lives anymore - stop the drama. We are victors, conquerors, and champions! We are blessed, we are empowered, we are safe! We are forgiven, we are clean, we are new! His promises assure and secure, take heart. He shepherds and move in the unseen, have faith. Declare good things in this life because He withholds no good thing to His children. Declare good things in this life because whatever you believe you received, it will be yours. Declare good things in this life so to taste and see the goodness of the Lord! Jesus WON these ALL on the cross. He died to set us free from brokenness, helplessness, curses, slavery, addiction and everything that drags us from the life He has for us. Then He was risen from the dead to give us the life restoring dominion and stewardship to all creations in the earth - receiving the adoption as the Father's children, breathing the Spirit in us as it continually reveals, unlocks the mystery of God's Kingdom in every season of our lives. And this is our destiny, God's plan for us - that we live a prosperous, hopeful and great life! :)

Lionhearted

Constantly challenging one self. Taking every single opportunity without regrets. Learning, developing and seeing beauty in all kinds of moments in life no matter how big/small they may be. Knowing what you're worth, treating yourself like you deserve to be treated. Simply, just being you and being brave. Like a lion you know, fight for what you stand for. A Lionheart would never give up on its dreams.

Sometimes, I think that the only way to do the things that I have to is to get away from home. I know they are worried and all, but most of the times my guilt turns to anger from breaking their trust from the past. I don't know. I don't really know. It just sucks inside out. If only. If only. But all of those are in the past and I am in the present. There are still things that I have to do. So while I am within their bounds, I understand that I have to follow some house rules. And that is sparta. *laughs Yet I hope that it won't reach to the point that I have to decided to be 'independent' when I have 'home' around. I respect my family and I honor them. It's a struggle to me to follow their statutes when I have set of what I believe. But I love my God. Yes, and I have to follow it when He said to honor thy father and mother. It breaks my ego when they start to be directive but for the best, I have to and there's no age for it. I trust that as I commit to God what He has called me to do, He will make a way for it.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” -William Hutchison Murray

Ay Grabe. I want to get angry but I know I'm just sad and tired. I want to vent it to someone whom I know would emphatize and listen to me yet wouldn't tolerate my being irrational if ever.

"If you're going to discover the life God created you to live, you have to learn to say no to all other options. And the tough choices aren't between good and evil, but between all the equally good options out there that are simply not the right paths for you. You have to allow even the beautiful dreams to die when they are not supposed to be yours. To make even one dream come to a reality, many other dreams have to be sacrificed on the altar of your imagination. I love the insight that the word 'decide' is Latin for "to cut." Every one of us is a surgeon. We live lives cutting away every potential future we reject and giving life to the one we choose. Every choice required us to sacrifice one or more possibilities for the life we have chosen." - E. McManus on Wide Awake
