Prayer of A Person Falling in Love (Again) ♥

*This was my prayer two years ago, months before August 13. It was originally posted on Facebook. I am posting it again as a reminder. :)

Dear Lord,

For three years I took very good care of myself and my heart. I didn’t allow anyone in for I know deep within that I still need healing. In those three years that I was alone, I never felt lonely because You were with me all along. And I thank You for Your love which strengthened and inspired me to go on, move on and forward.

Loving Father, it was You who filled the emptiness in me. It was You who healed my brokenness. It was You who made me feel that I am loved no matter who and what I am. And it is because of Your love that I had grown into the person that I am now - more mature, more understanding, more patient, more caring, more loving, simply better than before. It is You who taught me how to truly love. Your love is my example. Your love is my guide.

The previous months and weeks have been challenging for me and I know You know very well my struggles. You know my thoughts, my fears, my hurts, all that I feel and all that I am. For in those struggles, and during the most difficult times in my life, You were there. It wasn’t just my battle. It was our fight. And like in any other battle, we emerged victorious. For You are with me.

God of love, now that I am in another phase of my journey towards You, I ask more of Your guidance and help, most especially with regards to the matters of the heart.

Dearest Father, please don’t let me fall for someone I cannot spend the rest of my life with. I can no longer afford another heartbreak. I want it right this time. Please Lord, if he is not yet the one, don’t allow me to fall completely for him. You have been protecting my heart very well in the last three years. Please continue to protect and keep it safe and locked until the right man, the one You have prepared for me, comes. Remind me Oh Lord that love is not based on feelings and that I have to be very careful for my heart can be deceived anytime. Let not his sweet gestures nor the loving way he treats me be my only basis for giving my heart away. Give us time Father to get to know each other more and while learning about one another, allow us also to know You more. Reveal Your plans for us and make us see things in Your perspective.

Should we realize that truly we are the right persons for each other, please continue to be with us. But if we don’t end up together, I am still very thankful, and will always be thankful that You have given us the opportunity to meet. I know Lord God that You have the perfect plan for us and that every person, every situation, is a gift and an instrument that You will use to mold us into the persons that You want us to be. His presence, more than anything else, made me realize my worth as a woman. All the pain and the feeling of worthlessness which the two wrong men left me with, are gone because of his appreciation. He makes me smile even during the toughest hour of each day. Most of all, I can see and feel You in him. But please let not these things overwhelm me. Lord, please allow me to see beyond these beautiful, wonderful things. Let my judgment be clear and aligned to Your will. I want it to be right this time. I am not in a hurry, Lord. I am willing to wait. And I’d rather wait for the right one, than end up with another wrong man. Twice is more than enough Lord. My third will be my last. But above all, Your will, not mine, be done.

Loving God, You are the God of Love. To You I entrust my love story. I know it will have a happy ending. This I pray, and I claim, in the sweetest name of Your Son, Jesus, and through the intercession of Mary, AMEN. ♥

Understanding Lupang Hinirang

Every Filipino knows Lupang Hinirang (though some know it better as " Bayang Magiliw "). How can you not know it when it is the national anthem of the Philippines? But do we really mean the lyrics that we sing? Do we understand it in the first place?  Photo Credit:  http://diazi.ism-online.org This video has gone viral weeks ago. This afternoon, I shared it to my teammates, and one commented, "Yun pala yun . Ngayon ko lang naintindihan."   He immediately downloaded it and converted to MP3.   So for those who have not seen it, once again, here is Joey Ayala's version of Lupang Hinirang. And I agree, you would never want to sing it in another way. (But that's just me. :D) This rendition is simply beautiful. Truly Filipino. :) Of course that doesn't mean we need to revise our national anthem but maybe we can consider about correcting the way we sing it (read: proper pronunciation).

Jesus Week 2015: A Time To HEAL ♥

I had the best, most meaningful HOLY WEEK ever, so far (the best is yet to come!). :) Thanks to Joy who shared the Jesus Week poster on Facebook. It was God's personal invitation, and I couldn't thank Him enough for the grace that He also gave me to respond. Everything is grace. It was not just my personal decision to join. It was God's grace that allowed me to.  So how did it go? Well, as what I have told my friends, it was amazingly beautiful! The experience was priceless! On Holy Monday, I posted Fr. Jerry Orbos' acronym for HOLY WEEK . I experienced all of that and more! :)  I won't be able to share everything as there is just a lot of personal, intimate encounters with the Lord. But if I were to summarize, it was a time for me to HEAL. :)  H alt . Indeed, I was able to stop and just rest in the Lord. Before leaving Manila, I have already told myself that this retreat will be all about Jesus ( Jesus Week nga e :D ). No emails, no texts, no calls. I

Thank You, Lord! :)

It has been a long and stressful day (the past three days have been lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng and stressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssful), but You are just so amazing, Lord that I couldn't sleep without telling You how grateful I am. :) Thank You, Lord for the miracle that You did yesterday. Break even and more. :) Thank You, Lord for the laughter and stories shared during the post-mission meeting with Team Thailand. :) Team Thailand - Princesses from SFC Metro Manila :) Thank You, Lord for Lawrence. He is just the (almost) perfect man. He has his flaws, but they are acceptable; he makes mistakes, but they are all forgivable. There are a lot of men but there can never be anyone else. He's really the one. And You know it very well. :) ♥ Nemo. Love. ♥ Thank You, Lord for giving me strength and endurance each day. :) Thank You, Lord for the short but restful sleeps. :) Thank You, Lord for every waking moment and every opportunity that You give

The Holy Spirit*

*Cluster 4 Household Topic Reflections from John 15:26-16:4 True friendship is strengthened in adversity. Jesus offers His disciples the best and truest of friends. Who is this promised friend?  Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Counselor and Advocate (also translated Paraclete or Helper). Counselor is a legal term for the one who will defend someone against an adversary and who guides that person during the ordeal of trial. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate and Helper who brings us safely through the challenges and adversities we must face in this life. As Jesus approaches the hour that He was to be glorified - through His death on the cross and His resurrection - He revealed more fully to His disciples the person and the role of the Holy Spirit. What does Jesus tell us about the Holy Spirit?  First, the Holy Spirit is inseparably one with the Father and the Son. It is the Holy Spirit who gives life - the very life of God - and who kindles faith in hearts receptive
