A Personal Insight

God knows how I long to die as soon as possible but He's given me this gift of life telling me to receive it and not to take it for granted. - Daniel Cruz

When God Made You

All people who come into our lives are meant for us. They were destined by God to know us, and us to them as well.

People who loved us, hurt us. People who gave us joy, and sorrow. People who chose to stay, and those who left. They were meant to happen.

And one thing is for sure that can't be ignored and denied -they left a mark in us, we left a mark into them.

But for those who remained in my life through the years, despite and in spite the circumstances and trials, thank you for being there always. Thank you for sticking around with me while dealing our differences and misunderstandings.

To my dear friends and family who's been with me until now, this song is for you.

A song entitled When God Made You by Newsong and Natalie Grant.

Me and my friend Jann Denise recorded this song for her debut. Hope you guys like our rendition.

God is good. Everything that happens to us, is always and will always be GOOD for us. =)

Bible Verse For Today

"Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up."

~ Galatians 6:9

A Reflection of My Reality

Sometimes I find ways to solve my concerns and avoid problems to minimize the feeling of uncertainty. Instead, I end up being depressed and more anxious of things that are not even worth to be worried about. The situation I'm facing right now is teaching me two things. First, to trust God and let his will be done. Second, to know and believe in my heart and soul that He will always provide the help for me to get through this situation. 

I believe God is changing me to be better. Transforming me to be the man He wants me to be. The pain and suffering is real. But I know I will come up to be strong and better than before.

I may have failed, discouraged, looked down, and hopeless. But I still remember the favor and victory the Lord has given me before. And I know that doesn't end there. It will come in His appointed time. I will rejoice and be glad that Joy and Peace will come upon me. I won't start tomorrow but TODAY. 

To God be the glory. And to Him life is worthwhile. THANK YOU LORD.

Aroma of Quotes

An idea came out in a glimpse of a moment when I laid in my bed almost 3:00 AM on October 26, 2010. 

An after effect perhaps of a sudden surprise of innocence and vulnerability that led me unaware of what will seem to be another step of what I could do.

"I'm gonna make quotes!", I said.

Weird but it may be a chance for me to open up the ideals that I stand for and believe in for so many years of experience, learnings, and interaction.

I hope I could impart a thought on you, readers, a simple gift of friendly advice and realization based on my perception. You may react or give comments on anything that raises your brows. And I'm open for changes. And that's something we are vulnerable of, totally . . .

Let the QUOTES begin!!!
