Back Home

It is Sunday today, we woke up early to prepare for church and be on time of my hubby's flight.

My hubby went back to his country today. It was really hard for us but we have no choice for now because we are not yet financially stable. He needs to get back and find some work while I will also do my best to review for my NCLEX and find some ways to earn some money. Life is these days but knowing You are there for us Lord makes us go forward. Thank you Lord.

Thank You Lord

Thank you Lord God for working in ways we cannot see.

Me and hubby went out today after our laundry despite my eyes are still puffy from crying. My hubby decided to have a ventosa and massage but when we went to the place, it was full and many are still waiting. We waited for a while and then my hubby asked me if I wanted to go somewhere and I said yes and you know where, he said to the church? and I said yes at St. Jude because it was almost 12 noon. I asked him if he is going with me and he said yes. Deep inside I was praying to God to take control and do something. Lord as always you amazes me again. We went inside the church, attended the mass and I just sat there quietly and didnot say anything after I received the body of Christ. I let God to something and He did. My hubby gave me a samsung tablet as his gift for passing the b.exam and I downloaded inspirational books in it. I downloaded the book entitled "SECRET".. I started reading it already but not yet done. I was really amaze about the contents of the book and so I handed it to him and thanks God, he read it. He said it was a good book. Lord, thank you for showing me again that You are there always. My hubby talked to me tonight and said that he said sorry to me because it was just brought by so much pain, I said to him it was ok for me but it was not me he hurt but God, and he said he was sorry to God. Lord, forgive my hubby so he will also learn to forgive others. Lord, we will depend on you the rest that we can't do no more. Thank you again Lord for the blessings and miracle today.


Don’t give up


Right now, you may feel as though nothing is happening in your life. That none of your dreams are coming true.
       Don’t give up, because God doesn’t give up on you. - Message from Bo Sanchez while I was reading online.
My hubby is having rough/hard time today waking up always in pain. I really feel bad and don't know what to do but just pray for him. He woke up and already cursing to God and saying things that really hurt me. I could not help but just pray. Lord, things really bad now and I don't know what to do but pray. I am lifting to you Lord on what will happen. Please work on us Lord especially my hubby. I will be the one to say sorry for he did not know what he just said to you, it is because he is in pain Lord. Please help him Lord, transform him, change the way he thinks. Please take control Lord. I know and I believe Lord that nothing is impossible to You. Thank you Father despite the hard times we are going through right now, I believe this will lead to something greater in accordance to Your Most Holy Will. 

Let God Help


LET GOD HELP YOU IN YOUR CRISIS


Life is full of transitions - moving, starting a new school year, getting married, becoming a parent, losing a loved one, starting a new job, being laid off. The changes you experience can be either positive or negative, but even if they're positive, they can be difficult to make. Each transition in your life has the potential to become a stressful crisis for you. 

That's why it's important to let God help you in the midst of your transitions. Here are some ways you can unleash God's power into a crisis in your life: 

Don't worry that it's wrong to be going through a crisis. In fact, it's normal to undergo many different crisis situations in life. Each crisis can help you grow. Remind yourself that God sees your destination, but you can only see each step in the process as you take it. Understand that God has a purpose for allowing you to go through each crisis, and that He will be with you as you do. 

Ask God to reveal His timing for when you should leave a situation and begin a new one. Have courage to act according to what's best, rather than according to sentiment or pressure from others. 

As you leave your old set of circumstances, ask God to heal your spirit so you don't enter new circumstances carrying old wounds. Confess past sins and embrace God's forgiveness and peace. If others have hurt you, forgive them, and move forward with a positive attitude. 

Acknowledge God as the ultimate source of everything you have, and trust Him to provide everything you need for making a transition. 

Resist the urge to panic. Realize that panic is counterproductive, because it hinders your ability to think and act with the wisdom God wants you to have. Pour the energy you would have used for worrying into productive activities instead, such as looking for a new job if you have been laid off or taking a parenting class if you are expecting a baby. 

While making your transition, try to keep your everyday living schedule as normal as possible, such as by going to bed at the same time each night and getting up at the same time each morning. 

Don't limit the ways in which you invite God to work in your life. Be open to accepting His creativity. Remember that anything is possible with God. 

Humble yourself in the midst of your crisis, and trust God with your circumstances. If you do, He will bless you. 

Don't isolate yourself. Be sure you maintain frequent communication with God and other people who can support and encourage you. 

Pray and read your Bible often to seek God's inspiration. Act proactively according to how God inspires you rather than simply reacting to your emotions.

Letter



If God knows I am hurting, why doesn't He help me?



(Letter)
I wish I could say that I believe in Jesus Christ, that He loves me and cares, but I no longer believe that.
From a mother who is vicious and has wrecked my adoptive family to the death of my adoptive brother, I no longer believe.
I even find myself wondering if God really exists. I look around at all the Christians who say that they help people who don't know how to ask for it, but they have not even noticed my pain.
If God loved or cared for me, He'd at least help, wouldn't He? But no help has come! Why? God doesn't love me!
—Anna



Oh, Anna, your letter is so painful! I can't fully understand—and no one really can—how deeply you hurt.
You're caught up in three devastating feelings: hurt, abandonment, and doubt.
It can't be easy to have a “vicious mother” or to go through all the devastation and pain that comes with losing someone you love.
And there's one thing very certain about what's happening in your life right now. It will change you. For better or for worse, it will change you. During difficult times, you either get stronger in your relationship with Christ or you get weaker. You never stay the same.
But in the middle of such agony and pain, it's hard to see things clearly. It may even be difficult to see God's love. I think about Job, a man in the Old Testament who went through difficult times. He lost his whole family, virtually everything he owned, and went through sickness. He felt like you do now, Anna.
Look at what Job said during his difficult times:
If I go to the east, God is not there; if I go to the west, I do not see Him. When He is at work in the north, I catch no sight of Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him (Job 23:8-9).
And I want you to understand, Anna, exactly what Job later understood: That no matter what you feel or what happens, God does exist and He deeply loves you. No matter how awful things become, no matter what happens, we can never be separated from God's love.

Scene from God's Story
But you are right, Anna. Christians will let us down even at some of the most critical and difficult times. Jesus learned this the hard way. When He was arrested—for no crime at all—and was about to be killed on a cross, all His disciples, His closest friends, ran away. They left Him at His darkest hour.
When Christians fail you, though, that doesn't mean that God forgets you. He doesn't. He has a plan for you, Anna. So even in the middle of all your heartbreak, tell God. “I'm going to hold on and wait for You to show me Your kindness and Your love, no matter what happens.”
I want you to be able to say what the Psalmist said in Psalm 27:14,
Wait for the Lord's help. Be strong and brave, and wait for the Lord's help.
If you do that, Anna, I know what will happen. You will come out of all the pain and be a much stronger person. You will say what Job said:
But God knows the way that I take, and when He tested me. I will come out like gold (Job 23:10).
So hang on, Anna, I know you can make it.




I found this very nice message. Thank you Lord.I love you.
