GRACE GREATER THAN ALL OUR SIN

How loving and faithful our Lord is. Only He could change this dirty and ugly woman into beauty and joy.it was more than i had thought to ask for.

years of weeping with sadness and joy. But now that i have been sprinkled from a guilty conscience and washed in pure water, i will always boast in the Lord, the author an the finisher of my faith.

Thank you Lord for your love that forgives and forgets. Thank you for establishing my new quality of life!

FOR EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN TRHOUGH, MAY BE USED FOR GOD'S GLORY

i have been meditating and praying the song "Lord, I offer you my life" all day long.

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, alll of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you


before, during and after pains people will always end up thinking that everything happens for a reason. some lines of this song reminded me in fact that everything i have been through will be used for God's glory. i am convinced of it, without a doubt! 

relying on God's faithfulness in my life, EVERYDAY

HEARTS ARE BREAKABLE

and since its heart's day, let me write something about MY HEART. once a bit naive with my heart. but with time's passing me by, experiences surpassing, successes marching on, failures passing along and heartbreaks taking place, i've come to know what and how my heart is/ has become...

my heart that once, twice and even THRICE into pieces, into unending pieces.
my heart does break. and this heart is breakable over and over again. and this is not new to the Lord, and i become able to know that His power is limitless that He cannot stop to minister to my sufferings. Nothing can pass through the fortress of His love.

and my thought is just He has a GLORIOUS purpose in permitting these heartbreaks.

LOOKING BACK, MOVING ON

it is so good to look back sometimes and reminisce about the past. i love looking through old photos and remembering all the good memories! they show you where you came from... and it urges me to continue to move forward and create new memories. when i look at them i feel nostalgia because they make me feel at once a joy and a longing for these moments in my life that can never again be replicated.... but well, my God is too good! 
i know, there are many more good times to come & many more best memories to be made!
