Secret to a Happy Life....

The secret to a happy life is giving God

the first part of your day

the first priority to your every decision

and the first place in your heart.

Touch other people's hearts...

"Be faithful in touching other people's hearts....
Be an inspiration...
Nothing is more important & worth
practicing than being a channel of
God's love and blessings."

One of my happiest moments...

It's one of the touching messages I've ever received, "Life is better when you're happy but life is at its best when other people are happy because of you."

There's a story behind that photo....After few hours of real celebration because it's my birthday (2 years ago)...my friends gave me some honoring...It was Dupong who started being melodramatic with his message, and the rest of the group we're all caught crying...

A Woman of Faith - TITA PRECY!

If there's one person I'd run to in times that I need intercessory prayers, it's my Tita Precy! It's still my day off, so I thought of calling her...and it was a sensible conversation with her. I love listening to her sharing and testimonies - triumphs over trials through the grace of God.

It's my chance to honor my Tita Precy. She's the beloved mom of my good friend "Joyce." She continuously inspires me with her demonstrative love and persevering spirit ...After a dialogue with her, I felt gratefulness in my heart because she touched me again.. I do consider her as my second mom, too!!!

Let me share a text message I just received:

Good people make us see what it means to be blessed by God. He blessed with good people...so let me say "THANK YOU" for being one of my blessings."

And these are the exact words I'd want to tell her now...Since she's not my textmate, I have an alternative way - to blog about my beautiful TITA PRECY!!

TIME and THINGS don't really last....

"TIME and THINGS don't really last. What matters are the people we care about and values we dare to live and share."

I got this message from my friend who've lost her husband last year. I do admire the persevering spirit and unwavering faith of my friend. Recently, she's been sending me inspiring thoughts about life. Honestly, I was moved by the message; thus I immediately forwarded this to my loved ones. "Life is too short," and I don't want to miss the chance of telling them that "I do care."

Welcome back Rommel!

"Some friends are separated by time, some by differences, some by distance and some by pride, but whatever situation I can see, you'll always be a real friend to me!"

It's a beautiful text message I received from Beth. It's touching and it's time to share it with our good friend "Rommel," who was separated from us by distance. And now, he's back for a short vacation. We're all excited to see him this evening and for sure, it would fun and reminiscing time!

We missed you!!!

"when reasons end, faith begins....

"Don’t consume yourself with the question “WHY?” but ponder more on "WHERE?" because God is leading you to something beautiful with whatever it is that’s happening in your life. Once you get to “WHERE” God wants you to be, then you’ll know “WHY.”

I thanked my friend Will for sending me this text message. It’s very timely because I’ve been experiencing frustrations in my work lately. So I’d want to share it with you – to those who couldn’t understand why certain things happen in their life. As the cliché goes, “there’s hope as long as we live.” I know, sometimes words are not enough to console us; that's why we need God's wisdom to accept things we couldn't change.

And this is true, "when reasons end, faith begins."

Follow Your Heart…

This is a beautiful text message I received from my friend:

“Always remember that the longer you stay with the things you don’t really enjoy equates to every moment you lose with what could be a happy life.”

I envy those who’ve been employed in jobs that they really enjoy. I must admit, I wasn’t able to choose the right course in college. So I landed a job that is not related with my real passion – writing. However, regret is something I won’t entertain in my mind because it’s a waste of time.

Anyway, no one can stop me from expressing my thoughts. I may not be paid but the joy of sharing a part of your self is fulfilling. At this moment, I’m grateful because in a way, I have followed my heart. I’ve found an avenue to communicate my thoughts and feelings – MY BLOG!!!

Value of Sufferings

Few days ago, I received a text from my friend. The message that struck me was:

“I won’t dare to question God for the reasons of my sufferings and anguish because I never tried to question Him whenever I feel happy and fortunate.”

There were instances in my life that I did question God. It’s when difficulties seem to weaken me. I felt guilty because my only focus was the problem. I was so proud that I’ve failed to look deeper into my imperfect human nature.

Our Lord is holy and perfect but He chose to live, suffer, and die for each one of us. How marvelous is His love!

I need to be more trusting to God. I need to give Him the freedom to change me and make me a better person through my own sufferings.
