"A Victory In All Angles..."


@ TGIF...




I was in court along with my other  two sisters Today to show support for my mom fighting for reinstating her grandparent right to her grandson; our nephew. In short, the judge overruled extenuating circumstances and ordered to resume my mom's visitation right.

A lot of prayers had been taken to the altar, our faith & patience had been tested only to be amazed how incredible God's timing as evidence of today's verdict. I, myself was growing weary to a point where I felt our efforts are not bearing any dividend--so to speak. However, nine months of waiting has finally reaped what we sowed in faith--God's way. A victory in every which way, I believe...

Lesson learned: Be joyful while waiting for God's plans to come to fruition. And it does pay to be steadfast in praying: putting one's Faith & Hope to the God of Agape Love.

And To God Be The Glory.

Draw Me, Lord...



A song with  the most consuming plea that only comes from the wellspring of the heart--draw me near, Lord...Break any chain that binds my mind,, my soul & my heart. And only then, that I could begin to worship you, praise you and love you for who you are as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords--my Jehovah Jireh & the healer of my soul.

I've been trying to compose many things but my words were insufficient, lacking the emotions they should carry. As if my mind is curtailed to indecisive  theme--very much unsure of what to share. But on thing that never ceases in my spiritual psyche is the fact that no matter how grueling life can be at times, listening to a song like this makes up for all the differences & shortcomings life's accentuating nature.

After all, good music does  move you from the inside out. It does take you to another level foreign to you. You get lost in a song and God sees it. You're singing to Him in exultation. The best thing one can do in such a time as this...

After all, our deepest longings point to having that closer relationship with Him. Don't we all? 
We don't wanna realize that Jesus Christ is truly the only one who can keep His promise for He is the same yesterday, today & forever. Let that magnitude of truth sink in you, in me and to all that needs a Solid Rock.

Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Thanks for reading and for your patience.

Isaiah 55:9 KJV



"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9 KJV


This is a special kind of grace. This is how it looks now compare to the image below. Just when I thought the withered rose bush is to be hauled to the curb and had forgotten to uproot it, I learned another lesson--a harvest spurts in its due season even without toiling. I'm just happy with that thought, Today... I didn't even have to do anything. I believe that was the problem--the more desperate you are in making things happen, the wait becomes dry, stony & balding.

You'll never know what other special grace God will bestow in your life. He knows that I love  flowers for so many glorious reasons so does with words that breathe hope and brings adornment to my soul. How great thou art...

"Celebrating Resurrection Sunday..."


         Just as good as it gets...
             When you know what anchors your soul only solidifies where you're putting your faith, hope and love is the greatest security you'll ever have as a believer in Christ Jesus.
I'm gonna hold on to the truth that:

"In all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

"As God's children, we are sure to face a spectrum of trials, meet many a disappointment, and at times suffer momentary defeat. But our God reigns, and our faith is well placed.
The Cross and the empty tomb forever provide Jesus Christ's unmistakable ID." ~ Allen Groff
Wood

"True wealth isn't measured by your bank account or automobile. As fellow heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17), believers have access to God's riches, which include unspeakable joy, unconditional love, and peace beyond understanding." ~ From A Publication Of In Touch Ministries, March, 2014

Thank You Lord...

"FaithPoint Children's Egg Fill-In Basket Harvest"












If there's one thing I won't miss to capture is that kind of delight you see
in children's eyes as they rush to the field where those eggs filled with
candies & chocolates are kind of a special harvest to their hearts.

I even overheard, may be a preschooler that said, " this activity is in remembrance
of Jesus' love for us." Amazing truth. Undeniable--Jesus' grace.
Happy Resurrection Sunday
