My Heart's Prayer

Still on bloggy break but thought of sharing this song with y'all. This is currently my heart's prayer.

I'll Worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
For You my Dad and King
I'll live for all my days
To Put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet
It'll be for eternity

And Oh how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
And You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the cross

I worship You my God
I worship You my God
I love You
I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You
Be with You

Taking A Bloggy Break

Hi. I just thought that I need to let you know that I will be taking a short break from blogging because my plate is really full right now. I'm swamped with work. I will also be leaving the country in two weeks to visit my brother and some friends and also do some prospecting for my business. I will try to visit your blogs when I can. Things will probably be back to normal by mid August.

Whew...

Thankful Thursday

I thank the Lord with all my heart for financial provision. He never failed to show up every time I needed help. I am amazed myself how he does it all the time. He did provide for me in ways beyond my expectations. He is truly amazing!

Father, thank you for watching over me. Thank you that You are in control of everything that concerns me. Thank you that I can rest in Your presence knowing that You are my provider, my healer, my redeemer, my restorer, my deliverer, my Father, my friend, my husband... You are my everything. I praise and honor you, Father. I pray this in Jesus' mighty name, amen.

Friends, let me encourage you to not give up hope because the God we serve is a loving, all- knowing and powerful God. He is alive! If He gave You a promise, hold on to it tight. Rest assured that He will make it come to pass.


What are you thankful for this week?

The King Of Pop... Michael Jackson

I know this is a bit unusual for me to post something like this. But I figured that this blog is also about how I feel and what I believe so I'd like to share my views on something I have kept to myself and the lessons I learned. I don't expect everyone to agree with me but here goes...

I'm writing about a person who's music I grew up with. I'm writing about someone I truly admire. I'm writing about the one and only Michael Jackson.

So many things have been said about him... so many negative things. I wondered were they facts or just impressions of people who were simply too opinionated? I'm guilty at one point for judging this man because I thought he's weird. But did I truly know the story of the man? My answer was no. Now that he's gone and I was able to watch all the videos and interviews he had in the past which I didn't know about then, my heart sank... broken to pieces for this man I so believed I judged harshly.

When I learned about his passing on the internet, two minutes after Yahoo posted the breaking news, I didn't believe it. I thought it was just a joke... one sick joke and wished it wasn't true. But it was. I felt like a part of me also died. I grew up watching him perform on TV, listening to his music and yes, even doing the moon walk. I am a Michael Jackson fan. I love his music and his dance moves. I was, I am and will always be a fan of the King of Pop.

Whenever I watch his videos, I can't help but get teary eyed. Here is one man who's misjudged by so many people around the world and yet remained silent. He was hurting, alone, but never got back with his accusers when he had all the right to do so. I really feel so bad that it was only now that the truth came out.

I have learned a great lesson that I thought I already knew very well simply because I am a Christian. I thought it's just a harmless remark I did back then, but I contributed grief to a person I hardly knew. I realized now that this man was bruised so badly emotionally and mentally, beaten up verbally and physically and yet remained silent all these years. Here's an interview of Michael that really brought me to tears.



You will be tremendously missed, Michael. I salute you!

Michael Joseph Jackson

Truly Grateful

Something happened this morning that my heart is still brimming with joy until this very minute. God proved to me again that His Words are true and that He is faithful. For the past three days or so I was telling Him, "God, you know my bills are due next week and I still don't have enough funds to cover everything that I need to pay for. But you promised that you will provide, so, God I trust you will."

This morning, to my surprise, one dear bloggy friend who's one of my closest here in blogsville blessed me with $100. That's more than enough to cover my remaining payables.

Why am I sharing this?

I want to encourage all of you that indeed when we put our trust in God, when we operate in faith, when we obey Him, when we don't lose hope and give up... God will show up! He does provide and He's never late!

Are you, like me, facing something impossible in your life today? Let me tell you, DON'T GIVE UP!!! God knows our heart's desires. He knows what we need. He knows everything that's going on in our lives. He knows our every thought even before we think it.

"You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar." Psalm 139:2

Dear friends, the God we serve is alive and He is faithful.

Fearless Friday

It's another day of Fearless Friday where we gather together to pray for our needs and the needs of others. Come join us! Just click the lion above to visit Angie @ Free Spirit Haven. If you have any prayer request, just leave me a comment and I will pray for you.

Remember---

"... The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:16

"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:19-20

Please continue to pray for:

1. Financial provision for so many of us who are in dire need to pay bills and other stuff.
2. Healing for those with Diabetes and complications because of it.
3. Salvation of our loved ones --- parents, siblings, in-laws, etc.
4. All prodigals around the world to turn their backs from their sins and go back to God.
5. My heart's desire.

Remember P.U.S.H.? Pray Until Something Happens. Let's not get tired praying. Our prayers can move mountains and nothing is too hard for the Lord. Let's all believe for answered prayers.

"For nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37

Thankful Thursday

I thank God for YOU. My heart overflows with gratefulness for your prayers and encouragements. Above all, I thank God for His Word in Matthew 19:26

"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible."

Take note and ponder the meaning of ALL. With God ALL things are possible. I am currently meditating on this verse. Thank you, Angie, for sending me those links that encouraged me so much to stand for what is right and never give up.


How about you, what are you thankful for this week?
