Trials...


In life, trials are not new to us. We have been tested by how we deal with it and how we live in it. These are the things that made us strong as we are right now, it taught us to do better in things that we think we are not. That is why we can still survive in this life that is full of challenges and mysteries.

I've been hurt many times, though it may be a small things or not its already a big deal with me when it involves with my personality. I don't have that confidence that others has. I don't even believe in myself.

Time came that I need to be with myself alone. I studied from a University that is a miles away from my family. I have to train myself on how to live without them. I need to be strong. Challenges came into my life until I met the one that is always been there since I was born here on earth. And I would like you to know HIM. He is my God, our God the father. He never leave me.

I'm so thankful that I knew about Him. I was able to face my fears, love myself and let others love me. I was blessed with a good and true friends. They are my family when I need them. God always sees what we need. He will always provide.

Be thankful for having a trials because it will result you to become who you are. It will give you the strength that comes from God. Always remember that HE will never leave us. Trust in HIM and you will never fail. God bless us all! :D

My Place In This World

I'd like to share this beautiful song...

Place in this World -- Michael W. Smith

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled

A heart that's hopeful
A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems

Feels like I'm
Looking for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me

Hear me asking
Where do I belong?
Is there a vision
That I can call my own?

Show me, I'm
Looking for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world

We will never say bye...


Bye Bye- Mariah Carey

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody

Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings, and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[Chorus]

(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

[Chorus]

HE died for US

from the HGFF...

Christ died for our sins! Let's make this more personal; Jesus died for your sins. The Son of God died for my sins. How should we feel about such gift? What should our response be to such a great sacrifice? Nothing is comparable to Jesus' sacrifice and his beautiful gift of mercy and grace. Yet the sacrifice of others helps me understand a little better what my response should be to such a great sacrifice. While I am deeply saddened that my sins made such a costly sacrifice necessary, my primary focus is not on the sadness of his death, but his love for us in giving such an extravagant and life-transforming gift.

God wants us to remember, appreciate, and honor his Son's sacrifice. Yet rather than wanting us to live sullen lives of guilt and muted passion. the Father calls us to live bold and passionate lives of vibrant celebration. Look at the book of Acts and notice the lives of those who were first touched by Jesus' death and resurrection; they lived passionate, vibrant lives of appreciation and hope. And when we look in the mirror, who are we to see? How can we not respond with the passion and celebration.

So as we journey through this week, let's take time to remember Jesus' sacrifice with humility, reverence and deep appreciation. But as we do, let's also celebrate with confidence and joy, know how we are loved and called to live bold and vibrant live that bring glory to our Lord who sacrificed so much to make us his own!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he choose us in him.

It will all get better in time...


In the journey of our life, not all we experienced are happiness. We have failures, problems, trials that cause us pain. But these are all the spices of life. Without those, our life won't be called complete. Some cause us a deep wound that only time could heal. I would like to share one of my favorite song. It will make you realize that even though how deep is the wound that you have right now, it will just get better in time. It says "I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to ". Yes we deserve to be happy. Listen to the music and be inspired.

Better in Time
by: Leona Lewis

It's been the longest winter without you,
I didn't know where to turn to.
See, somehow I can't forget you,
After all that we've been through.

Going, coming... thought I heard a knock
Who's there? No one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know,

If you didn't notice, boy, you mean everything.
Quickly I'm learning to love again,
All I know is I'm gon' be okay

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too, ooh yeah
(It'll all get better in time)
And even though I really love you,
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV,
Without something there that would remind me
It wasn't all that easy
To just put aside your feelings.
If I'm dreaming, don't wanna lie,
Hurt my feelings

But that's the path

I believe in,
And I know that time will heal it

If you didn't notice, well
You mean everything.
Quickly I'm learning to love again,
All I know is I'm gon' be okay

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too, ooh yeah
(It'll all get better in time)
And even though I really love you,
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to, ooooooh
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me (no more you and me)
It's time I let you go so I can be free
And live my life how it should be.
No matter how hard it is,
I'll be fine without you, Yes I will.

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too ohhhh
It'll all get better in time ooooh
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to (yes I do)
It'll all get better in time, woah

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too, yeahh
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

In the palm of your hand
And I'm yours forever

Wherever you go
Through tears and joy

And I will live
In all of your ways and
Your promises forever

Blessed to be a Blessing



This was the theme of our church the Holy Ground Family Fellowship as we celebrated our 34th Anniversary dated March 29, 2009. The presentations are very inspiring. As the guest speaker shared the gospel everybody was seriously listening. I loved Rev. Eddie D. Chua deliver his speech. The way he emphasize the powerful words.

I've learned a lot of things. About me, my family, my love ones, my friends and of course about God. Indeed, we are blessed by God in order that we might be a blessing to others. Counting our blessings without then asking how God would like us to use those blessings. They are given to us, but they are not given only to us. In other words they are reward, a reward for faithfulness. But the reason that God rewards faithfulness is because faithful people share their blessing with others. Once we start keeping all the blessings to ourselves, either as individuals or as a church we are no longer faithful and the reward will stop.

God has blessed you. Count your blessings. But don't stop there. You are blessed to be a blessing. God's intention is that all the nations of the earth should be blessed by the actions of God's people. Some Christians make that mistake, thinking their own lives are to be barren while they give everything to others. No, it is much more gracious. It is like the miracle of the loaves and fishes. As we share the blessings we have, the blessing grows and multiplies until everyone is satisfied and still there are huge amounts of leftovers.

Enjoy God's blessings, count them one by one. Then pass them on wherever they are needed that through God's people all the nations of the earth should be blessed.

STILL- by Hillsong

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are god

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust


Dream BIG Dreams!


"It's too small of a thing to dream your own dream. Refuse small dreams. God has a BIG DREAM for you, and only you can fulfill it". I love this quote, by Lou Engle. I have read this one in the Word 4U today booklet that was distributed by the Edge Radio. I was inspired with this line "God has a BIG DREAM for you, and only you can fulfill it".

Indeed, God is so good in letting us dream big where He gives us the full strength to fulfill it. Dreaming to achieve your dreams is just a wink of an eye if you let God reign in your heart and mind. People usually blame God if they don't achieve what their dreaming for. They don't know He gave everything even His own life just to give us life. See, how good He is. God only want us to be happy.

So dream big big dreams. Always remember that he will just there beside you. Guiding in all the things that you do. Keeping you safe. And giving the things that you need. All I can say is Dream BIG dreams with God.
