No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning, but for those who are willing to believe in their dreams and in themselves, life is a precious gift in which anything is possible. |

About Me
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Previous Posts

True Love Waits
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep, full relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God say, “NO. Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone. I love you, my child. Until you discover that only Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me, exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires and longings. I want you to stop planning and stop wishing. Allow Me to bring that person to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep listening to the things I tell you. You just wait that’s all.” Don’t be anxious, don’t worry, don’t look around at the things others have or what I have given them. Don’t look at the things you think you want. You just keep looking up to Me, for you will miss what I have to show you. When you are ready, I’ll surprise you with a love more wonderful than you would ever have dreamed of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready – I am working even this minute to have you both ready at the same time – until you are both satisfied, exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me. This is PERFECT LOVE.” “And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and enjoy maternally and concretely, the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love I offer you with Myself.” “Please know that I love you utterly. Believe it and BE SATISFIED.” “It is hard to stumble on your knees…” Monday, September 01, 2008 The Brown Raise Movement - What is a Filipino?
Share ko lang...it might get ur attention too ;)
Link Try to visit it's blog too : Ang Brown Raise Blog Saturday, June 14, 2008 Long-Distance Family Relationship Yesterday’s messages were in line with the Father’s day celebration. The messaged preached at the first service I attended was: “A Father’s Gift to His Family”. For the second service I attended it was: “Next Gen- Builders”. Both messages talked about the father’s role. According to the first message, a father’s gift to his family would be: (a.) Gift of Pattern- a father should leave a legacy…a good legacy that is. (b.) Gift of Provision- this is what fathers are always thought of…PROVIDERS. hehe. (c.) Gift of Protection- The father is the knight in shining armor of the family. The second message pointed out that to be a next generation builder, you have to: (a.) CREATE – create a good legacy to be passed on to the next gen. (b.) REMEMBER- remember the good legacy passed on to you. The life of William Thomson a.k.a. ‘Lord Kelvin’ (physicist) and Carl Brashear (Men of Honor’s Master Chief Diver) were some of the illustrations discussed. (c.) IMPART- once you have created or remembered a good legacy, it is your duty to pass it on to the next generation.
Then, there was also an illustration about a busy dad and son. The father was a politician & took a day off to spend it with his son. They went fishing but caught none. The boy has a diary and wrote about his day as the best day of his life. The father on the other hand, also kept a diary and wrote about that day as a waste of time. When you ask a kid to define LOVE, their definition would be t.i.m.e- TIME. Now, what about the kids of OFWs who would only be with their parents for a month every year or every 2 years? For some kids, they seem ok with it as long as they get their ‘pasalubongs’ & allowances. But then, deep inside there will always be the longing of being together as a family. Mr. Randy David, a columnist in the Phil. Inquirer talked about the OFW family and its present situation . Let me quote the last few paragraphs from his article, Love in the time of migration: In the age of absentee parenting, the communication of love has taken the form of a steady stream of gift-giving. This however cannot compensate for the erosion of intimacy. As the sociologist Luhmann nicely put it: “Roughly speaking, one loves not because one wants gifts, but because one wants their meaning.” We expect those we love to show us, by their actions, the depth and complexity of their inner world, not the broad practicalities of their material situation. This is true not only for lovers and spouses in long distance relationships; it applies as well to children and parents torn apart by migration. It has been very easy to measure the economic benefits from overseas work. But I doubt if one can ever quantify what the Filipino family has given up in terms of love, or what it is doing to recover it. I’ve been in an OFW family ever since birth and I know the pains & sacrifices my parents went through during the times we’re apart. But, my parents prayed and did everything so that they can witness our developmental/growing years. So despite the fact that my parents are OFWs, they never failed to give their quality time for us. And we know, it is not the material things that define their love for us, it will always be beyond that. Thanks Dad & Mom. Love you =) Happy Father’s Day Daddy =) mwah *hugs* Thursday, June 12, 2008 On being an Office Rookie Though, my job here in the Emirates is not actually my first job but then I consider it as my first official business-office job. I was actually reluctant to accept the job at first,but then the words of my dad to just try it first till i've found where my niche is plus the constant "pag-may-trabaho-ka-na" lines of both parents whenever i'm asking something from them that requires them to shed some 'fulus' ( arabic term for 'money') for me. haha...convinced me to give it a try. So here i am on my 3rd week at Ali & Sons Contracting Co. as a secretary-receptionist and so far all is good naman =) I read a couple of articles at boundless about work related stuff and here are some that I wanted to share with you guys: "Whatever your vocation, God calls you to honor Him, to reflect His image, and to labor with all of your might. You may not be in your dream job right now. But the secret is to honor God in the little things and to sanctify the ordinary."
So there's some of the helpful articles that enlightened me today, hope it did the same to you too =) Goin' home now..half-day lang kami today.yay! Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Being a modest woman... It's been quite a busy day for me without Leah around, i'm left with answering all the phone calls & all the secretarial/receptionist job that we do here...but nonetheless, i found the time to bloghop and share one post by this blogger they call "kuya kevin".
