Why evening is my favorite of the day . . .

Vel

There  are many reasons why I love the evening. 

God created the heaven and the earth. He created the darkness and light in the sky. Light gives us hope. Light in the dark even gives us hope to pursue the tomorrow. I appreciate God’s creation in a deeper way when I get the opportunity to glance and gaze upon its beauty. What is the “its'” ? God’s creation. In a long tiring day whenever I get to see the night sky, I believe whenever I see the stars and moon, He tells me, “My strength is your strength, my daughter. Don’t become weary in doing good and righteous. I am here! I am your very great reward!” Those are His words that struck in my heart that keeps me going on my daily basis. Him! His very own words that makes me go from strength to strength. His face that shines every morning and still bright in the evening. His unconditional love and joy for me is unfathomable. I don’t deserve it but He still gives it wholeheartedly, without a doubt!

Here are some of my reasons:

1. As I said earlier, light gives us hope. For me, it really is and inspires me to continue the tomorrow

2. I just really love to see the stars while walking alone. Darkness doesn’t give me fear but only joy even in a lonesome night

3. I enjoy singing christian songs while walking in the evening alone

4. I get to have a 10 minutes talk with God

5.  I love the silence while grasshoppers do their own song

6.I get to see the shiny stars and say a little thanksgiving to God for its beautiful creatures.

Well those are just some of my reasons. The moments I get with God. It is indeed my favorite of the day. Still hoping to see more of God’s majestic creations through the galaxy 🙂 Yet it doesn’t stop there, God gives us so many reasons to enjoy the day even not in the evening. So enjoy the day with the Lord. Remember that God has His own reasons why such things happen. It simply because He loves us. 

 

The Majesty Himself never fails to leave me in awe reverence. The Majesty of all times and the Creator of the Universe never fail to amaze me. Looking forward for more….

Don’t forget the main reason why there’s this such beautiful season- JESUS. Thank God for everything. Even it seems so painful, God has reasons for it. Remember that you are loved by the King of kings, the OWNER of everything. Enjoy the time you spend with your family, with food or no food, your AVAILABILITY is even appreciated. 

Closed doors


It_Dwells_Behind_Closed_Doors_by_Nicolas_HenriEvery day it hast been a challenge for me. Each day I have to make sure I don’t hurt anybody . All those things matters. My friend, family and special someone matters to me. Their reaction, emotions and response on my every little actions to them. I have finally realized that people reaction towards my action is now my last concern. My first concern now is God’s opinion. He really matters so big when I get to hurt Him, it is really a BIG deal for me. I can’t have a good sleep, I always contemplate on my last action if it really pleased Him or not. That’s why there is this saying “think before you do it”, I’m still on the process of resisting what my heart tells me to do so even it means of “not today” or “now or never”. God is surely has been slapping my face back and forth. He’s been waiting for me to respond in such a way that it will only please, glorify and honor Him.

Now that I’ve come to the point of closing doors, its time for me to boost my relationship with my One and Only God. I am more expectant with God for the year 2013. I am excited because I believe God will bring me to different places and opportunities that will make me happy and make our relationship grow deeper.

2012 has been really a roller coaster ride, its been a year since I admitted that its not bringing me anywhere. Its only disobedience. Its only pride. So before the year ends, I definitely wanted to become someone God wanted me to be. More of molding and shaping of my character- building of character. Fear has been holding me back. What are those fears? I fear that I will not get to see them often if I only focus on what He wants me to do. I fear that God will take my loved ones so far away from me. I fear that no one will like me if I followed Him. But I realized God gave them to me. The people I cherish so much. I believe God is teaching me to go out from my comfort zone and I believe God is also preparing my loved ones. So for now, I have decided for the coming years, it will only be about us- God and me. Closing doors for courtship. Closing doors for any emotions that will pull me away from God. 

do-not-disturbI’m sure when God finds me ready, He will automatically open my heart for that someone He’s been saving for me. I’m not in a hurry I believe God is also preparing that man and besides, I still have to enjoy my single hood. But I admit, I still need prayers. Prayers that will help me not give in to temptations. I need your faith that even in tough times I’ll be able to withstand it through Christ. Right now, what I know is I’m not going to entertain any man. He’ll know when to lay down if its the right time from God and if he is the one since I am devoting myself for God this coming year. So, I guess ‘do not disturb’ sign will do. God and I will have this moment. I believe God’s timing is perfect and it will come like I’ve never waited. I am really excited for this! 🙂

Finally, a new heart to the One


Calendar_0Its been a year since my disobedience kept roaring inside my head. Now that I finally get tired of doing it all over again knowing that on the first place it only gave me so much pain and aches. I finally said, “I give up! I surrender!” (Hands off!). Doing it all in my hands is not really a good character of being a woman. Then I guess it was last week of November when I realized it has to stop or I have to stop. I admitted that there is something wrong with me that the situation has been a cycle. But thank God for faithful friends who never stopped knocking at my door telling me that it was never God’s will on the first place. So I had to stop and I must obey God. It’s not a must but I am sure God’s will for me is still the best even at first it hurts.

heart_of_sand-18245b15dI can finally say that I have a new heart, everything changed! I can finally say that even without an engagement ring or a future partner, I am happy! You know why? God’s love is more than enough! The satisfaction and unconditional love that I could never ask for more is already with me, in me and for me. How could I ask God to give me more than the love He has for me when it was already endless or unending? I have desires, yes, God knows all of them but for the record now that I have settled myself down, I have set them aside. It is already my last resort. 

I know God only can start that fire again when He already set me on that season. The love of being a single person is really an advantage of knowing God more without any distraction. There are some distractions, temptations and past flashbacks, yes, but as long as I fix my eyes to the One who loved me even before I was conceive nothing nor no one could ever separate us. Even though I am surrounded with my friends who are in love with their finance’s or they have already set it. I know that one of this days God will just continue to give me that heart to someone who would confidently say to me, “you are worth the wait, my queen.” Maybe its not this time, nor my time, of course it will always be on His perfect time for both of us.

I realized that as a single person, there’s a lot of things to do in this season. Grab all the opportunity while I still have it, they say. I want to go to a place where I can really appreciate God’s creation and get merry with people I love. Spend more time with my family. Travel around the world and many more. Well, those are some of my dreams, but nothing is impossible, I still got many years to do that, I still got many months to save and I have the Jehovah-Jireh, my Provider. 

I believe God is still preparing me for something. God is molding me to someone He wanted me to become. Eventually, I’ll become what He wanted me knowing that He alone knows what’s best for me 😀 The unconditional love He has for me never stopped and with that I am grateful that even in this season, a time of being single and happy, I know that with Him I could never ask for more. The love, security, trust, hope and faith rest in Him alone – My life rest in Him alone.

Finally, a new heart to the One.

The One has captured my heart again and again. He never stops indeed to the people He loves 🙂
