Me and my God and my faith.
Where do I even start? His great love? His amazing grace? His mercy and greatness? Indescribable, that's what He is. I have been lost and broken and yet He has never left my side, He is forever faithful and each day I just want to fall more deeply in love with Him.
Coming home to my First Love.
I'm far from perfect, but I sure do try, by His love and grace.
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US."
1 John 4:18
“Hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5)
Even Christians can sometimes feel hopeless and powerless to overcome adversities. Maybe you feel trapped in your job, or your marriage is in trouble and there doesn’t seem to be an answer. You may have a child who is on the wrong path. Or maybe you are single and have given up any hope of ever meeting the right person. But no matter where you are, God can turn your situation around—and it could start happening today! If you believe with all your heart that God has something great around the corner for you, then hope will take over.
God’s hope is such a powerful thing that it can keep you going when practically nothing else can. That’s because God’s hope will never fail or let you down, even if everything else does.

I don’t know if I’m making the right decision…
Lord, am I doing the right thing?
Is this where you want to lead me?
Is this Your will?
Lord, I’m lost, I’m scared.
3 months, 12 weeks, 60 working days.
Citi Bank Eastwood.
It’s a long, very long commute all the way there.
I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing and it scares me.
The truth is I’m doubting myself.
Will I be able to do it, do it without complains.
Will I be able to live up to the expectations.
Won’t I exhaust myself from this?
I keep on thinking about the safety, the risks.
12 weeks, how long and how short can that pass?
The fear of the unknown.
Am I wrong to turn tell Shell that I already have an internship??
And what about Metrobank?
No more time for regrets now.
I’m signing the contract tomorrow.
Lord, I entrust everything into your name.
I’m scared, keep my heart safe Lord.
The truth is all of us are greatly affected by how the world sees us. We are greatly affected by the opinion of others, of our friends, colleagues, and even mere strangers. It seems that we always want to please the people around us, whether we like them or not. We want to boast and show off what we have, it seems to be like we are constantly chasing after what will please the people, the world. What puzzles me is that why do we have this mentality? We are created uniquely (Psalm 139:13), and yet we are choosing to conform with the world, to simply go with the flow. We don’t want to be different, we long for the acceptance of the people around us so instead of pleasing God we have diverted our attention to pleasing men.And I’ve recently realized this fact because of my friend, here goes the story…
So my friend and I are in a cafe, we’re having a typical hangout and kwentuhan, updating each other of our lives. So I tell him this story about a guy who tried to kiss (make out with) me at a party. And i told my friend that of course I didn’t let him even though he was persistent and tired it a lot of times. I told my friend that I avoided it and blocked his face, I told him (the guy) that kisses are only for boyfriends.
And the weirdest thing happened.
My friend looked at me as if what I said was the most ridiculous thing in the world. He got that ‘seriously’ look plastered all over his face. And he asked me that why didn’t I kiss him, I should have at least tried. And in my mind I’m thinking, ‘Wow, the world has really gone upside down. People going around kissing and making love to random people. And I’m just happy that I stand by my decision. I don’t care about how the heck the world thinks about me, even if I’m called old fashion, at least I stand by what I believe in and that I live not to please them but to please GOD.’
amazing.
Posting this as a photoset. This man is incredible, I hope I can be like him someday :)
God bless this man.
