A turning point

you honey happen to be my cotton candy. I want you every time but your just too sweet and bad for me.

I still am hurting, but not because you are no longer mine but because I crave for a companion. So you see, it's not you I need. I will get over the feeling, not regretting the thing we have but making you an example of the hurt I might feel the next time.

Everything’s New!

Everything’s New!

The New Year gives everyone the creeps! Why you ask? Because New Year is supposed to be the time where one is supposed to change. J The time to say good bye to all the vices, sinful over eating, unfaithfulness (oh yes!), and even tardiness.  It’s the time to change for the better.

 And most of us are afraid of changes because our routines bind us to a feeling of security. I for one feel so comfortable with “something” that there are times when I see no wrong of doing it. And that is how we are. Bonded.

But then again,

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. 

A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” - Bill Vaughn

Let us celebrate our 2010 for it is/has been/and will always be a part of who are. Learned from the things that are ought to be changed and love the things are worth loving.

Welcome 2011 with hope! For we cannot fathom a life without it. :)

Serve more, love the dream giver, give praise and let us keep our relationship with the Lord or better yet, be fruitful in it. :)

A Happy and Blessed 2011 to us all! 

I am blank. 

I am staring on a blank page.... 

I need an inspiration to write. 

Happy Birthday! :)

I don't know how to greet you, so I hope this one works.

Happy birthday to you... 

happy birthday to you...

birthday,

happy birthday to you...

Love in its finest

Love in its finest

At some point of everyone’s life, they love. They give and have received love. The kind that surmount over the most crucial days. The one we give to a stranger, the one we give our family, the one we give to our neighbours, the one that endures pain, the one that requires patience. Everyday, we love. J however it is rooted, we give and have received love.

We love because we have received love. We cannot give anything unless we have it right.

But most of us love because we expect to be love in return, and this love, we still divide it into two parts. One is for us to keep and to rely strength upon, the other half is left to be given back. That is how we equate love. That is how we do love.

But this system has its problem. This system DEPENDS on how much we have received; if we received little then we give half of that little. Thus dividing love, thus loving little.  

Many people tell us to love. Only God gives us the power to do so. – A love worth giving by Max  Lucado

This book inspired me to write such. J

We know we should love, we have been told to do so, so many times. But doing it is not that easy. How can you love the unlovable? How can you be kind to someone who have offended you? How can you still love someone who have cheated you? How will you ever love those you are unkind to you? How do you love the moneygrubbers and the backstabbers?

This is how we should love according to Him…

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

I personally could not meet this standard. First, Margie is not patient, Margie is not kind… (I will not continue, you get the picture!)

But rather than reminding us how we cannot produce that love, let it remind us how much God loves us. The kind that we receive everyday.

Jesus is love – right? Then lets do this. Let’s insert Christ’s name in place of the word love…

Jesus is patient, Jesus is kind. He  does not envy, He does not boast, Jesus  is not proud. He is not rude, He is not self-seeking, He is not easily angered, Jesus keeps no record of wrongs. Jesus  does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Jesus never fails.

If we will learn root the love we give to everyone with the kind we received from Jesus, then we will probably love endlessly. For even if we continuously divide Jesus’ love, it will still be sufficient to love everyone. Even those unborn. For He’s love is overflowing…

This is the love we cannot resist. It is given freely, not divided, but rooted on Christ.

And His love, if we will just let it --- can fill us with a love worth giving.

Random thoughts stirred by the book: A LOVE WORTH GIVING by: Max Lucado 

Basically it.

I still remember the first time you said you love me.

My heart almost jumps out of my chest.

Then you said it again… and again… and again…

You tyrant. You never gave my heart even a little rest.

How do you explain something so inexplicably wonderful?

I lack the words. But my heart trembles at your every words.

It was a year of hugs and love.

What can I say? Love indeed is a mystery.

And so I love.

With all that is to me.

And then the next thing I knew your taking it all back.

And so I stare… and stare… and stare…

I have to believe you. I have to.

And you go back to the life you’ve once had.

With all the laugh.

And until now, I’m staring blankly.

Oh I hope I never love.

How are you doing that? Teach me how.

And so I stare.

With all that is to me.

What can I say? Love indeed is a mystery. 

One for the ladies!

I will find you.

No matter how long it takes, no matter how far --- I will find you.

-Nathaniel to Cora in The Last of the Mohicans -

Ladies, think about the movies and the novels you once loved. From  Titanic, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, my all time favourite; Anastasia. The novels, Sense and Sensibility, The notebook, and so many others! See the heroine in each story, all princesses… if not, they are all princess-like right?

Wonder why we love them? Why we cherish their story? Because we too long to be treated like a princess, be a princess, to be the beauty, abducted by the bad guys, fought for and rescued by a hero.

Almost every girl once played the game “kidnapped and rescued” – or some version of it. Like the princesses in each tale – we wanted to be the heroine and have our hero come for us.  I simply want the feeling of being wanted and fought for.

But not everyone admits. J Most pretend that it is less than it is. Why? Because we wanted to be called strong rather than emotional.

But don’t you see that you want this? To be desire, to be pursued by one who loves you, to be someone’s priority? Most of our addictions flare up when we feel that we are not loved or sought after. At some core place, maybe deep within, perhaps hidden or buried in her heart, every woman wants to be seen, wanted, and pursued. We want to be romanced.     – CAPTIVATING John & Stasi Eldredge
