Naturi Naughton - Out Here On My Own

After watching the movie FAME, i found this song lingering in my mind..... I am waiting for a Filipino artist to give the same justice to the artist's rendition.

Again, the strength of a woman in a showcase...

Taylor Swift- Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow (Lyrics)

Love is a choice

1Co 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
1Co 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
1Co 13:5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
1Co 13:6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
1Co 13:7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1Co 13:8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
1Co 13:10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
1Co 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
1Co 13:13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

ON God's Favor

It's so difficult to understand ...

You see, favor is given to those people without basis or bases most of the time. This word has something to do with grace. A person receives favor even though he does not deserve it.

In my life, this has always been true. Blessings come from the north, south, east and west and you bet, I just don't deserve it.

God's favor is one of the reasons why I am always on my knees.

On God's Direction

It was January when I learned that I will be assigned back in Cagayan to lead the Erdkinder group in La Granja.

Again, another “curve” in God’s direction in my life.

I recently learned that sometimes “you need to stop planning and just allow God to take over.”

jeni the "mephibosheth"

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

remembering Stephen Covey

Everything is created twice....

First, in the mind ....

then, in the physical ...

be careful on your thoughts then ...

for they make you ...
