Faith

REFLECTION QUESTIONS: How comfortable, trusting and at home are you with God as the "Unseen Father"? What are your most cherished experiences of His goodness? Are you a doer in faith, or are you one who waits in faith?

Increase my faith, Lord, not only as I wait, but as I follow You in moments of darkness.

A good prayer

Lord, I have no doubt that You know my needs even before I realize I have them.

Not understanding but trusting

We may never be able to understand fully the methods or motives of God; but we are not required to understand them, simply to trust them. (Woodrow Kroll)

Lord, teach me to obey You, especially during the times when I don't understand.

Let's talk: Trust and obedience

Are we living our lives in complete trust and total obedience to God? Why do you say so?

Solo Dios basta

Nada te turbe, nada te espante... Solo Dios basta. (Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you.... God alone is enough.) – St. Teresa of Avila

something to ponder on

How can God bless you with your heart's desires if you doubt Him in the first place?

La calma

No pierdas la calma, todo saldrá bien.

Joshua 23:14 NIV

Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the  Lord  your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.

Plans

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

Don't be scared

Wag Kang Matakot

Eraserheads 

Wag kang matakot

Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako

Sa iyong tabi

Di kita pababayaan kailanman

At kung ikaw ay mahulog sa bangin

Ay sasaluhin kita

Wag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha 

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot ah.....

Wag kang matakot 

Dahil ang buhay ay walang katapusan

Makapangyarihan 

Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo sa iyong kamay

Ikaw ang diyosa't hari ng iyong mundo

Matakot sila sa'yo

wag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa

kasama mo naman ako

wag kang matakot umibig ta lumuha

kasama mo naman ako

wag kang matakot na magmukang tanga

kasama mo naman ako

wag kang matakot sa hindi mo pa makita

kasama mo naman ako

wag kang matakot ah

wag kang matakot

di mo ba lam nanadito lang kao

sa iyong tabi

di kita pababayaan kailan man

wag kang matakot

di kita pababayaan kailan man

(repeat until fade)

:(

Until when are You going to turn a deaf ear to the pleas of my heart, Lord? Until when are You going to ignore my prayers?

Took a picture of Aki today and it clearly showed that a large area of his eyes is gray already. This broke my heart yet again. I don't think I can ever forget this pain, it just gets numb for awhile, then resurrects at moments like this.

Sometimes, Lord, di ko talaga naiintindihan mga plano Mo. Di ko maintindihan ano tumatakbo sa isip Mo. But all I know is that there is no other way but to trust You.

Please please, if You won't give sight to my son, give him good health, emotional strength and wisdom instead. Amen.
