...do not aspire for wordly greatness - others' recognition and the rewards you may get from it. greatness can be achieved through living an ordinary life in an extraordinary way...
" I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
Gen. 12:2-3
i may not be blogging as often because i found a better venue to express my thoughts...
the time is nearing...Nav is coming out soon...am going to be a mother!!! how exciting is that!!! i've been feeling contractions lately, i thought he's coming out earlier than expected. somehow, i want this done and over with but i'ts not yet time...
"baby, can u wait until Oct 18? by that time I'm done with my work, i can spend as much time with you...one more thing, let's help each other ha. ill try my best to help u come out, but be a good boy too...you help mom also...i want to see you, hug you, kiss you, feed you, sing to you, dance with you...but for the mean time, you stay first where you are...in no time at all, we'll see each other...your dad and i love you very much."
There seems to be a reason why those pregnant women in their last month find difficulty in sleeping. It's nature's way of preparing the mother in taking care of the newborn. I guess that's what I'm experiencing right now. It's not about the coffee this time but I just could not sleep.
I phoned my sister and she told me a lot of lovely things about my darling which made me more active.Hay! I wonder if I can wake up at 830 am. My sis and I are planning to bring my darling to the movies - DADDY DAY CARE!!!
God is able to do what He said He will do.
God is attracted to weakness. He can't resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him.
sorry sis, i just had to pirate this from your e-mail signature...such strong words!
it was a tiring day yesterday...what i wrote in my previous blog contributed significantly to how wasted i was feeling before I could finally sleep. but i wanted to hear something first before i retire so i ask my husband to read a passage or two from his latest book. what i heard was one of the most beautiful remix of a very familiar passage
...read on...
Celebrate God all day, everyday. I mean, revel in Him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up at any minute!
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do your best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious - the best, not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly, things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
whew...just the message i needed to hear...
can't sleep again...i remember i was restless to go to bed because i was so tired but when it was time, i can't get myself to sleep...tsk...tsk...coffee! the culprit! oh yeah! i did drink coffee at half past 8 - that's why. i don't know what made me so attracted to coffee. i've been a coffee drinker since - can't remember but i had to make some adjustments when i got pregnant. i researched about this...pregnant mommies are not totally restricted to drink coffee - we just have to minimize. i am an obedient pregnant mother, i don't drink coffee like i used to but my timing again is not good! yes, this is not the first time - drinking brewed coffee at night! why am i writing about coffee???
think about His love, think about His goodness, think about His grace that brought us through...for as high as the heavens above, so great is the measure of our Father's love, great is the measure of our Father's love
awesome.
with all my heart I want to love You and live my life each to know You more.all that is in me is Yours completely, i'll serve You only with all my heart
this is again a part of a song that spoke to my heart so strongly. i remember when i was searching for something more than a year ago, i was led to this song that made everything clear to me. i did not exactly see the answer from the lyrics but it led me to HOW i could find the answer...I did!
i want to take Your word and shine it all around but first help me just to hear You and when i'm doing well help me to never seek a crown for my reward is giving Glory to You
this is a part of one of my favorite songs in one of the few cd's that I listen to. it really grips my heart...giving glory to the One is a REWARD and not a duty nor an obligation. GIVING implies an action of favor. when we give something to someone, we are entitled to receive something in return. we sometimes expect a "thank you," or a debt of gratitude. but giving glory to the One who deserves glory is not a favor that we do...it is a REWARD that we are enjoying. unfathomable? i'd say Yes... this is one of those realities that the intellectual arena can't comprehend...
i am a litltle (pls. walang aangal) girl with only one dream - to be a sweet aroma to the One who made me. i believe i am a nobody without Him because i can barely do things without His wisdom...this has been my life - dependent, weak and limited- on my own. i sometimes find myself in awe of how He can make me do things. even then I just can't afford to pat myself on the shoulder because i know i can never do excellent things without Him - the Epitome of Excellence.
can't sleep...it's already 5:11 am and i'm still wide awake...i had to finish computing grades and I guess my energy just couldn't slow down...talk about inertia...so i decided to just blog in.
i have a confession to make...before i opened the computer, I just ate lamb chops and mashed potatoes...yep! lamb chops in the middle of the night! NAV, in my tummy, was moving a lot and I was feeling hunger pangs so i guess he's hungry, so I fed him...now i think he's settled already. how about the mommy?!? she needs to sleep also but she just could not. poor mommy - her eyes probably look like this already
