Positive, positive, positive vibes only!!!

I am choosing to leave behind all the negative emotions and move forward towards a positive outlook on life.

I know I am being tested and it isn't easy to stop all the negative emotions from filling my heart. What I do is I let myself worry and whine and rant. But after a while, I would realize what a waste of time and energy it is. I would make the turn around myself and will go call out to all the positive energy to come fill me.

Positive vibes only!!!

Tomorrow...

And tomorrow holds so much promise of a better day. It holds so much hope for a brighter future.

Don't you think?

Happy Monday everyone!

;)

A thankful heart.

God knows best.

I asked for health to do great things.

He gave me illness, to do better things.

I asked for riches to make me happy.

He gave me poverty to make me wise.

I asked for power and the praise of men.

He gave me weakness.

To sense my need of Him.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.

He gave me life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for everything I hoped for.

In spite of myself my prayers were answered.

I am among all men most richly blest.

Yes, He always know what’s best.

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!

Hello, November!

Something good. There is always something good in the things that are happening in our lives. We may not see it now but sooner or later, it will come out of its disguise to show us that it was actually a blessing just dressed in a challenge.

This is not just a motivation for you but actually more for me, too. Sometimes I forget and I succumb to worrying again and again...

But one thing you can be certain about me is that I will keep on smiling! No matter how hard life is and how complicated it can be, I still love life!

Happy weekend everyone!

;)

Keep the faith!

I know for a fact that He makes a way even if there are times when we feel like we're stuck in a corner with no way out. I've been in some very tight situations financially and I've always seen the light of day. I can definitely attest to His generous ways!

Keep the faith, my friends! He will make a way!

;)

A Monday inspiration.

Nobody's perfect, that's for sure! And it is in our imperfections that we learn and mature and become who we are today.

Happy Monday everyone!

I am praying that this week will be a good one for you and me.

;)

A prayer away!

He is. All you have to do is call His name and say a prayer.

I am praying that this month will be a great one for all of us.

Happy March!

Hoping it will.

This pent-up madness inside me doesn't make sense right now. I do hope that one day it will make sense, finally. I just wish that by that time, I am still whole to accept the meaning of it all.

I have a lot of things to do this weekend. I pray that I will be given enough strength, perseverance, discipline and patience to see it all through before Monday comes in again.

Happy weekend, people! I hope everything is making sense in your lives.

My faith this week...

I am continuously budgeting the fund I have for the wedding of my little bro. I made estimates and I would make adjustments based on actual payments made. Continuous estimates and adjustments. Of course, as I see actual costs, my mind would go to panic mode. Preparing a wedding, regardless if it's only a budget wedding, is very costly! If you don't have any source of income that will give you sporadic cash inflows, I suggest you save enough money first before setting a date. Preparing a wedding, aside from the costs of it, will take a toll on you. Trust me, I am only helping the bride and groom but I am just as stressed as them.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I am very happy with the upcoming wedding. It's just that being the breadwinner in the family for so long, and the one doing the budget, makes me worry about cash flow a lot.

But you know how it is with the Lord. He would come in when He knows you need His help already. I've been panicking alongside my other sister about the wedding expenses and then help came along. We still need a lot of cash for some other expenses related to the wedding but I know the good Lord's help will come, one way or another.

I am opting to keep the faith rather than wallow in endless worrying and panicking.

;)

Hoping... hopeful.

I had some very disappointing stuff to deal with last week. I cried my heart out! But despite all that, I found myself hoping. Hopeful. I am staying positive even through the minor setbacks. It's not easy but I managed to smile and laugh after crying my heart out.

I know the good Lord won't leave me and that He will see me through everything taking place in my life. I am hopeful all my dreams not just for me but for my family as well will come true very, very soon.

;)

Just breathe. And let go.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the best option for you.

Let go and let God.

Happy Sunday everyone!

;)

Just let go...

There are some things in life where we don't have any control over. I get that. As a flawed human being, you can't help but still worry over it, be sad over those things. If it happens, then it's meant to be. Just let go of those things that make you sad, frustrated, angry. I know it isn't easy but just think of the opportunity to be happy...

It is not easy. I have worries right this very minute. I am worrying over a love one. I am worrying about this coming school break. I am worrying about other stuff.

But I will try to let go...

And let God do the worrying for me.

Another reminder on worrying

I love these little reminders of always keeping the faith, be positive, and trust that everything will fall into place eventually. I found one about worrying...

I am admittedly a worry wart. I am not proud of it but it's who I am and I can't help it no matter what I do. That's why I make sure to stop myself from worrying whenever I notice that I am doing it. I try as best I can to be divert my attention but being the eldest has ingrained in me the responsibilities that I always need to be aware of.

That is the reason why I worry all the time.

But I am reminded once again that worry does nothing good.

How I wish I can stop worrying all the freaking time!

:(

My Prayer

I also pray that I be given patience so that I won't get frustrated so easily when things don't go the way I planned it.

Amen.

Happy mid-week friends!

;)

Dear Me, Stay cool!

I worry a lot. That's already a fact! I worry when things in my life don't go as planned. I cannot move forward right away when that happens.

So the image above is a perfect reminder for me to stay cool. And it's right, you know. When plan A or B don't work, there are so many other letters that can work out for us.

:)

Just believe in Him.

That's what I tell myself whenever I am worrying or panicking. Just believe in Him. Trust in Him!

If you haven't noticed it yet, time and again He's always been there for us. When we find ourselves in trouble for one reason or another, He sends help our way. When we find ourselves hungry, He sends food our way. It may not be in the form that we are expecting it to be but help and food come.

Think of any situation in the past where you found yourself backed in a corner. And then think of some form of help that came your way. That's Him!

Keep the faith, my friend. He is just there beside you, walking with you every step of the way.

:)

Hello, December! ;-)

November was done and a new month ushers in...

Hello, December!

I am praying that you will be good to me just as, if not better than, November ever was. I thank the Lord that I am here to witness a new month come to life.

I am always grateful.

Happy first of the month!

;)

Lifting it all up to Him.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed by everything that is happening in my life--worries and all--I make sure to lift everything up to Him. I tell Him that I am leaving it all up to Him to take care of me.

I am a worry wart by nature. I guess it's the ingrained value in me of taking responsibility for everyone around me. Or maybe it's due to the circumstances in the past. I just worry way too much than the average person.

That doesn't mean that I don't trust Him. That doesn't mean my God is small. It just is.

But I am lifting it all up to Him, particularly today when I feel so stressed out.

:)

My new motto

It's so hard for me to stay put and be OKAY with where I am, especially when it comes to my finances. But I realized that being restless, worrying a lot, stressing myself out can lead me nowhere, anyway, so why suffer? I thought I might as well calm down and just let things flow.

I will be OKAY. Yes, even if I want change and it doesn't happen as soon as I want it, I will still be OKAY. No matter what.

Happy Sunday!

;)

Pinning my hopes on 2012

I will tell you the truth... I am pinning my hopes on 2012. My expectations are high and I am really desperate for a change! I am praying so darn hard for this coming year to be a better one in all aspects of my life, especially on the financial side. I am hoping for an overall improvement and an upwards direction to my life.

I have hope and I am keeping the faith.

Remember to never lose hope. Stay safe and keep warm.

Happy New Year everyone!!! Here's to more years of blogging to you and me!

;)
