Silence is the last thing I want but turns out to be the thing I need.
In this place where I can do nothing but bask in God’s beautiful creation of God.|
Alone times. Reflect and Love Him more.
I gotta share it all once I get back!
I love you all with the Love of God :))
God gave special reason for our genders. Being a woman means you have a special purpose to fulfill as well as the men. I believe that being a man entails more responsibility than the other, though. God created Adam first (Genesis 2:15) His responsibility is to take charge of all God’s creation including the animals and plants. Since God is a good God, He doesn’t want Adam to be alone because He knows that it would be so sad. No man is an island, right? So God created someone he can be with- a woman! A woman who came from a man himself and call her Eve (Gen. 2:21), everything is great, you think, “I came from a man’s rib we must be somehow equal.” At some point, you are right but let’s examine it closely.
God created the man first. The man should always be the first, the initiator. The man’s worst downfall happened when Eve was enticed by the snake to eat the fruit of Wisdom. She gave in and even encouraged Adam to eat the same fruit. I’m not saying the women always get into trouble but as we can see from the beginning, God made the world with harmony, with balance. I don’t think God would want dissension with His creation.
So here’s my point ladies, don’t ruin the unspoken rule that God told us way back then. Not because you are feeling something tingling and your heart beats faster doesn’t mean you should give motives that you want someone even though you think that he feels the same way. Don’t give in to sale when you still need the budget for more important things. Don’t say yes because of peer pressure. Don’t forget that this world is still full of battles to be won every day.
Since boys are made to be initiators, I believe girls are made to be reactors. I can’t say we cannot lead (it’ another issue) but we should know where we stand and we should know what we believe into. Girls, women respect God. Let’s make us of our gender accordingly to His will. God bless you!
Few weeks ago has been a blast with the Lord. Like a newfound love, something to cherish and something to surrender fully into. But just like that, I found myself lost again. Between the prayers and the mysteries I found myself crawling back in the mudpool of my past. I became fully consumed of my own natures and I thought it’s a normal part of my life. But lemme tell you, it’s not. I felt haunted and desperate and after more tears with my bestfriend when I thought I could get back up I couldn’t. I felt trapped.
I don’t want to go in full detail with what happened with me last time. Just let me share what I learned.
First, every time you feel that you are so happy and safe with your relationship with God. Remember that the enemy of the souls is guarding your every move, waiting for any chance. He eludes you and destroys you before you knew it. SO, BE AWARE OF THE ENEMY’S STRATEGY.
Second, not all that feels good is good. Emotions are fragile and you can’t trust something that is breakable.
It takes time for you to trust yourself again with this matter but wait and wait for God’s restoration in your life.
I was so weak and yet I know that my God is strong. This is how He loves me :) I know He saved me yet again :)
FAMLY!

This is my family! My most favorite people in the world! :D
i LOVE THEM SO much and I hope that we will get to see each other again this year (and this time we will be complete, yes we aren’t complete here :p )
i praise God for this wonderful people!
I do too, but I still keep n going. Because I am once again reminded that as much as I want to live a life that I want. THIS LIFE IS NOT ABOUT ME. This life is for Jesus. I have nothing left to prove you people. I have Jesus. I wouldn’t have it any other way :)

Thanks to… Basta member din ng TCP! :D
I scanned my files only to find these pictures! Hahaha! This is how I started dancing again.
At my friend’s backyard! Hahah! Funny how that simple move made me want to learn hip-hop jazz now. It was really fun dancing again!
My friend decided that we should make a photoshoot dance themed and I will be modelling! Haha! So excited! I’ve been saying no to those shoots because I thought that being a model for a shoot nowadays is overrated. Well, not this time! I think this will gonna be exciting!
Dance, dance, dance! :D
BUT still I want to give back this talent to God :) I hope I can be a choreographer to those churches who need to learn even just basic hip hop and i’ll be willing :)
Godbless! And shout out to my Tumblr Christians Phil. Family! I love you all!
Eighteen and Dreaming
I’ve been a blogger for almost a year now. I was seventeen when I decided to put my life on public for everyone to see and criticize. I am such a private person. I love expressing myself through words but I’d only love to recall those experiences on a beautiful journal.
I am eighteen now. Still trying to “put myself out there”, looking for recognition from anyone. I realized, this is not what I really want because I am not really after people’s praises. I am after serving others to live. I grew up fast when I was sixteen, trying to work part time and study full time, it was fun but I didn’t fully loved the experience.
Now, eighteen and feeling the freedom. I realized I have all the time and the opportunity in my hands. It’s dreadful at times knowing that I’m no longer a child. I always ask God, “Lord, why am I so bored?” but found myself with no answers. Maybe He’s telling me to wait. I won’t give up on dreaming and trying to achieve my dreams for His greater glory. I won’t forget His promises to me. I have a life to live and dreams to achieve. This is what He is telling me right now, to prepare myself for new roads, new opportunities. This boredom and helplessness has a purpose. He is watching. He knows.
