His love letter

February 18, 2014
Usually, baking, laundry, cooking, cleaning are my agendas for rest days. But this day is different. I spent time surfing the net, see newsfeeds at Facebook, watch a movie, and think. When I had finished them all, I stopped for a moment. I rested in our living room sofa in an inconvenient position, I began thinking, played a gospel music, closed my eyes, embraced the precious living Book, and started crying…. SomeOne Whose close in my heart become a ‘choice’. Someone who assured me many times that He loves me has become a stranger. From that moment I was reminded of the box office movie, STARTING OVER AGAIN, with a new beginning…. Tears started flowing through my cheeks, here I am commits myself to start over again with the One who loved me first, and here’s His letter to me….

My dearest daughter,
I know It seems I was silent for the past weeks, but I never stopped pursuing you . You may not have recognize the love and faith I have for you but there are just too many things going on your mind, I can’t squeeze in myself. You have tried to put me first but you intended to do what you LIKE. But don’t worry my daughter, my princess, no matter how stubborn you are, I still LOVE you, I really do, not in a different way, but with the SAME love I have showed you 2000 years ago. My darling, do not be condemn by what the world says to you, do not be discourage by their judgements thrown at you, always remember that I have overcome the world. Regarding with your plans, sweetheart, be patient, WAIT patiently my love. Everything is already planned, orchestrated and designed the way I wanted.

Starting Over Again

Definitely this movie turned our stomachs up and down, freeze our jaws from laughing and swell our eyes from crying. But eventually at the end of the movie, the one goal remains- The End. No matter what the ending is, you cannot change the END. It was already planned, setup, expected and prepared. Watching this movie didn’t give me a heartbreak, but rather agreed to the whole story or main point.

(Just for the sake of some who haven’t watch this great movie, I won’t spoil the story…) *evil laugh

Ginny, left Marco with no reasons…. Why? That’s for you to find out! Sorry. When she came back, she tries to win Marco, AGAIN.
Here are some lessons I got and that made me say “COME ON!” “That’s right” “True”….

1. Never EVER, and I mean it! EVER… END the relationship without any REASONS or EXPLANATIONS.

Everything has its own reason. Every questions has its answers. Leaving someone you dearly love because of FEAR is not LOVE at all.
Marco- “I deserve an explanation, I deserve an acceptable reason…” –
“In love there is no fear”

2. Leave with CLOSURE and make things CLEAR.

-Ask if you may, ASK if you are READY, ASK if you are confuse, ASK if you want some answers… Remember you have the right to ask!
No matter what the response is and will be, it shouldn’t bother but rather Gives you peace.
“Ang hindi ko lang alam, kung Bakit? Kelan nagsimula? Anong nangyari sating dalawa? But today, I resolved to stop bothering you…”
“May dahilan kung bakit tayo nagkita” Yes, there is! watch the movie so you could know!

3. PSP “Past is Past”

Philippians 3:13 “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,”
Let go what you should let go. Stop revolving your world to one subject. Its a big world out there! Go out, learn, EXPLORE! Something better is on hand if you let it …..

4. Never let one thing that will stir your heart to give in to temptation..

I’m sure Marco did know that Ginny might come back and agree to work with him. And I am sure that Marco did know that there might be some instances that they will spend some “alone” together. at first it was for businesses sake, then Ginny’s “assumptions” put her to hurt herself. Marco tried “iwasan ” her, but same Ginny as she was, aggressive and desperate, everything turned to ugly side of the story. Do not rekindle the past if you think it will hurt you. Erase the memories, delete the messages, but learn from it.
Temptation is always there. But it is your CHOICE to RUN away from it!

5. Ladies, never be so AGGRESSIVE and DESPERATE

If you feel something for that guy, KEEP IT, let the men confess it, let them do their part!
“Stop assuming, unless the man stated his intentions. ”
Ginny, boldly confessed her feelings to Marco in front of many people. She did her part too VOCAL AND EXPRESSIVE. We are not designed that way, Its men part to boldly confess their intentions to us.

6. Pride will not make your relationship work, humility does…

Ginny became prideful of what she sees on how Marco becomes. She kept what she thinks on who Marco is to become. Pride destroys everything. Remember that Ginny was vocal and expressive? This time she stopped that kind of attitude, she feared to share her thoughts and feelings to Marco. Accept the person you love, be open, misunderstanding and conflicts will not run out in a relationship. But acceptance and humility should always be part of both parties.

7. Friends has a big part in your life. Treasure them!
We have two different kinds of friends Pro and Anti 🙂 Pro because they just want to indulge you to fantasy or Anti because they know what’s the truth and they want to be honest with you.
“kaibigan kita! and I refuse to watch you kill yourself”
“Nakalaklak ka nanaman ng pagasa, subukan mo kaya lumaklak ng REALIDAD..”
“Working with your Ex is complicated!”
They tell us the reality. They share what they feel. Its either they let you enjoy the fantasy or bring you to reality.

8. BE FORGIVEFUL
Common saying is “to forgive is to forget”. How I love in this movie is it shows how to accept ones mistake, how to forgive with LOVE…. You cannot forgive someone if you still have BITTERNESS in your heart. Ginny became to desperate when she really want Marco back in her life badly. That brought Marco to choose between Patty and Ginny. This is the line that made me amazed how BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS MARCO was…
Ginny: So tulungan mo naman ako ngayon, how do I UNLOVE you?
Marco honestly replied: I really don’t know.. But what I know is I cannot UNLOVE you, I’ll just LOVE YOU BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY….
That courage! That STRAIGHT-forward answer! harsh but honest! Painful? Yes, but gave both of them PEACE that they needed!

No matter how RIGHT you feel for that person, no matter how HIGH level of infatuation you have for that someone you dearly love, if the timing is WRONG, then its still WRONG. People come and go. We either let them in or go. Accept the mistakes or just keep it. Learn or fail. Be wise or waste it . Either ways, there’s always something better that comes to our lives. Its a matter of how WISE in making the decision. You need courage to confront the reality, confidence to accept the truth. I recommend this movie to all the singles, the beginning and the end has something to take home….

Not a heartbeaking story… REALITY ROMANTIC MOVIES HAS FINALLY COME TO SENSES…. FINALLY! Cheers to Star Cinema production and to the whole team of Starting Over Again.

p.s some lines stated above are not exact so pardon me. 🙂

Thoughts 101

Every day I meet different faces, I bump into strangers and I get to talk to people with peculiar concerns in life. Yet there’s one person I haven’t met and talked as far I as know. Who can that be? My future spouse. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is again a sudden urge of wanting to write for someone I haven’t met yet. Someone who is invisible and an imagination (but not a fantasy) of who could that be. As far as I know, this untouchable person is someone I am expecting to meet someday, may it be friends or beyond friendship. How sure am I? Its because of FAITH AND SECURITY that God has filled in to me. I may not know that person right now or he may not lay down his intentions to me this year, one thing I’m confident of, is that God will surely bring the best godly man who is after His own heart at His perfect time.

If you would ask me how am I doing today? I’m doing great! I’m expanding my territory as a single, savoring the singlehood and loving each spare time I have for myself. Of course, who wouldn’t think of the future? As a lady, (well, exceptional to some) we all have “planner” attitude espescially when it comes to TIME. We have planned the things to do for the day, but eventually, not ALL of it will come to success. Now, most of the women have plans of getting married at ages like for example “25-29”. But at this moment, at the age of 23 and I’m turning 24, I can say I’m not in a hurry but I have the desires of getting married someday. I refuse to set AGE on that one because I might just get disappointed. But everything is surrendered and lifted to God. Everything is taken care through prayers and faith.

The reason why I’m taking time to write these down is because not only I want too but also I believe that God wants me to take care of my future in prayer. PRAY. PRAY. PRAY.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
“16 Always rejoice,
17 constantly pray,
18 in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

I’m trying my best to constantly breathe a prayer for the people I love. Even during working hours. I do pray for them. Not just this one, I don’t want to get that wrong interpretation or misconception from God that I just pray and talk to Him because of that person I want to meet but never have. I don’t want to get that wrong motive from seeking God through this. But What I learned, it is between you and God. Your motive, your heart, your delight matters. Whatever seed you’ve sow, the fruit will speak itself.

I just want to take time to praise God and thank Him for His nonstop reminders even from a very very long time of not having a QUIET TIME with Him. I am missing Him more than anyone else. I am longing and hunger for more of Him. I am so much more in need of The One who makes my day full of surprises, laughter and unexpected circumstances which leads to show His magnificence. His awesome and unconditional love teaches me to pray for my future husband, to love him through prayer, to protect him through prayers and to constantly lift my future husband to the Writer of my love story.

I am assured that this year is something worth the wait indeed, may be not in my love life area, or may be it is. I don’t know but I am really expectant, may it be just friends for a while or beyond friendship. This is my prayer that God may guard both of us from temptations and plans of the enemy. The wholeness comes from our identity in Christ Jesus and I believe through our relationship with Jesus, I’ll be meeting my future dearest husband COMPLETE AND WHOLE in Christ Jesus.

Joyfully waiting, take your time 🙂
