*heart thoughts


  If I could speak about all that You have done for me in my life, I would need an eternity of lifetimes.Instead, I choose to live in a way so that my life will speak about You.
 - Apple Fuentes   



My days are numbered. I know, Lord, that one day all this will cease.Days of busyness, nights of little sleep, fleeting weekends of going from one activity to the next, people to serve, life stories to listen to, broken hearts to love, torn spirits to restore, sacrifices to make.And when that day comes, will I look back and know that I gave my all to love You and live the life You gave me? 
“Teach us to number our days, that we may be wise in all that we say and do.” Psalm 90:12 
- Christine Alexander  


 "NO" -- This word has been abused in my everyday vocabulary. See, I'm fond of justifying things. When I don't see any point or logic or sense, why go for it? Just say NO. But now things are starting to change. As I get closer to God, my life seems to be less of me and more of Him. There are many things I still don't understand, so many things that confuses me. But I simply follow His lead, and He never once failed me. All I did was say YES, and his great  plans starts to unravel before my eyes... It's such a wonderful feeling. Now I worry less because I allowed Him to take the wheel from my hand. I am no longer the captain of my ship, He is... my Boss, my Savior, my everything...

  Sometimes it takes a long time to find the joy in your suffering. -- Sometimes your sufferings were given not just for you to learn but to teach the people closest to you very valuable lessons that they can learn from seeing you suffering. -- When you've done your part, it's time to simply pray and believe in them. -- It's their turn; it's their journey, it'll be their experiences and lessons. -- You might not have prepared them for everythign but at least they have something to start off with.

I pray not to miss the joy of being GRATEFUL for His Greatness.I should be grateful for my successes or failures, happiness or distress, victory or defeat, heat or cold, pleasure or pain. In all these situations,  may I see the hand of God and be connected with His greater plans.A GRATEFUL and GRACEFUL heart calms fears and focuses to the greatness of God. To share His GRACE out of Gratitude.

The only sense that doesn’t fully rest when we are sleeping is our hearing…no wonder we can hear God even while asleep. 
 Lord, speak to me even when I sleep.  Amen.
