Forgiven: You're worth more

Wed, 22 May 2013 16:27:26 +0800

Don’t sell yourself short. Your worth more than casual partners flipped through like a rolodex of pictures linked with scars instead of numbers. More than the constant names you are calling yourself disgusting, vile, damned, and forgotten. Don’t you know your price was paid and that your worth is…

Classic!

It’s been a while since I actually LISTENED to music. No other thing soothes the senses.

Perfect tune for this dry and hot summer!

To harbor anger, bitterness, and envy against people around you will only cause you pain. These feelings can only cause personal destruction. No matter what they have done to you, only a forgiving, grateful, and loving heart will give you abundance, joy, and peace.

To be a disciple is not just to believe in Jesus, it is to follow Jesus. These words from Bonhoeffer are easy to understand but difficult to do. I really want to challenge myself on this.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
   teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
   for you are the God of my salvation;
   for you I wait all day long. Psalm 25:4–5

Reminder to Self

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:29:39 +0800

The Scripture was never meant to be good advice or a philosophical option — it was made to be the very source of our life. When we treat the Bible as one option of many, we don’t experience the life changing force that God breathed into it — it will just be words on a document. But when we approach the Bible with the intent to obey all that we see, the Scripture comes alive and becomes a guide for us into our promised land. - Dave Whitehead

“The Word of God is not a club for beating Christians until they emotionally bleed as repayment for their sin. Jesus already took our blows and shed His blood in our place. And on the cross He didn’t say, “It is not finished, so beat yourself up to add to your salvation.” He said, “It is finished!””

- Mark Driscoll touching on how we obsess over our sin and forget to remember where our identity truly lies (From his book, “Who Do You Think You Are?”)

So true ...

It’s actually really disturbing that kids falling asleep in school is viewed as them being lazy and not as the school overworking them to the point that they literally can’t stay awake.

It's a very hard thing to do, but it will make your life much better.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:11-12

How Powerful is That?!

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:32:52 +0800

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

Therefore, no one is out of reach from God’s love.

So I wasn’t able to wake up early for exercise today. I still have some errands to do so I’ll probably just do ten minutes on the twister exercise disk.

And yes, those are my feet. I just wanted to see how they look. Apparently, I have feet that only I could love. The second photo is of me and my sister at Twelve Apostles in Australia. I miss her and her husband. We really had fun there.

I’m multitasking watching Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN covering Sandy Hook Newtown, Connecticut’s Remembrance tonight Friday 21 December 2012 in the United States. A lot of poignant stories. It reminds me that life is brief and I have to make the most out of it. God bless us all!

On a lighter note, I have to go to the bank, make deposits and pay bills. So I got to go now and hit the twister. Teehee!

This is me on the Great Ocean Road in Australia. This was taken on December 15, 2011. As my first entry for this blog, allow me to explain what this blog is about. I have always wanted to have a blog that contains all my interests. However, I have too many interests that I don’t know where to begin. Finally, I figured it out. I want to write a blog about self-improvement because I have a lot of growing up and taking care of myself to do. Therefore, I will talk about health, fitness, fashion, psychology, and politics. This will be a mishmash of everything true, good, and beautiful, which are the things that I aspire to be and you should, too. Do you agree?

I went to the cinemas to see this last night. A bit long-winded but a visually-stunning movie. And lots of interesting and funny characters. This is another epic from master storyteller Peter Jackson.

After dinner at BonChon Chicken last night, my father and I decided to watch Cloud Atlas since The Hobbit is still to screen today here in the Philippines. Tell, me did you like the movie? For me, I found the story interesting enough that it encouraged me to want to read the book.

Saw this movie on Saturday. It was not as compelling as the trilogy. I feel like it needed more. Nevertheless, I was entertained.
