this caused me a month-long (almost!) LSS. :D

and yes, you can sing along! the lyrics are also available. *wink,wink*

good eyesight

A great many things in God's divine providences do not look to the eye like goodness. But faith sits down before mysteries such as these, and says, "The Lord is good, therefore all that He does must be good no matter how it looks. I can wait for His explanations".




--Hannah Whitall Smith--

Went-worth it!

Maybe because it's February
Or maybe 'cause of peers
But I can't ignore that probably
It's just because it's me.

Anything that's Wentworth Miller
Anything that bears his name
Anything I hear about him
Is just so interesting

I laugh when I'm reminded
Of how teenagerish it seems
A crush or infatuation
But who cares! I'm fine with it.

With his stare that's so intense,
his smile that's oh so MAN,
his presence that's so commanding
he'll drive them all to trembling.

Oh, yes, I know it's childish
but see, I needed this.
a break from all that stressed me
to giggle free with glee.

Oh, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth!
That con from Prison Break!
What've you done to this li'l lassie
And made her feel like crazy!

thank You for

 

 

Lord, I thank You
 

     for prospects of growth
     for moments of silence
     for eras of need

     for showers of grace

    for periods of despair

 

For through these episodes You show Yourself in control...

 

and that's what I need to be reminded of.

Our Best New Year Celebration Ever... as a Family

I thought my year 2006 will have the worst ending ever, but as usual, the Lord surprised me and my family. :D

 

Looking back, I realized how many times I have been restless, discouraged, hurt, sad, confused and frustrated. I revisited journal entries with thoughts known only to me and the Lord, and remembered how during those times HE has been there for and with me. I leafed through pages of learnings and bits of "notes to self", wishes, hopes, and dreams... and realized that those things I prayed for, mostly received answers: Yes, No, and Wait. :D Guess what received the "waits". Haha :) Oh well, I asked the Lord for so MANY things, in fairness naman sa akin. haha :D

 

I want to share some juicy stuff with you, but I'm too afraid to let you all in to my life... because there are lots of things I still don't have the courage to share... Not yet, that is. Plus I don't want to go senti at the moment. :)

 

But here are some stuff I can share with the whole world for now:

 

Do you remember my Birthday Wish? Yes, I wished for me to be  GRACIOUS. And though I know that I'm still not THAT gracious to people, the Lord provided opportunities for me to practice grace. Especially to those whom I easily lose my temper with: my younger brothers. And I was surprised with how the Lord helped me to be a BIG SISTER to my bros. On two separate occasions, I was touched and moved by the way they appreciated me as their "ate". Those were once-in-a-blue-moon occurrences, so they left big, wonderful marks on my heart. :) (Partida, no conscious effort for me to be gracious nun ha. hehe)

 

I noticed how the Lord has been helping me to be mature in many ways. There were trials [and errors] which were character-building and lesson-learning. And through all these, His grace has been very evident. (O di ba, medyo general ang wento, pansin nyo? hehe)

 

BUT WAIT! I thought this post is about Our Best New Year Celebration Ever?! Hmmm... obviously, I deviated from the point. hehe (Oh, men! Di nyo man lang ako sinita! hmph! :p)
