"In The Quiet, Deep-Seated Blue Waters..."

Finding serenity that equals this image is almost impossible to attain. It dawned on me today that we're living a life that is full of intoxicating sounds. I must be getting old I muttered to myself. The washing machine on its spinning cycle didn't bother me before. For some mystical reason, everything was a nuisance to me... today.With the washing machine, television, ceiling fans in operation all at the same time plus the dogs barking and the neighbors yelling, I felt like losing my mind to these variable noises. That doesn't even include I-phone ringing constantly and the sirens blasting that was getting into my nerves, too.
 In retrospect, I could have just sat down and prayed to God for peace that passes human understanding. Or just turn off everything except the air conditioner. By the way, it's been muggy & dry, too. For a long moment, I lost my sense of composure. Don't we all have our moments of disentanglement?

How do some of us are so more flexible in adapting the volumes of everyday life? Why do we let ourselves be immune and be accepting about how all of these echoes continue to reverberate in our minds? 

"Everything Is Going To Be Alright..."

This is what my Sunday night looks like: a continuation of my praise & worship--listening to music that magnifies God's love. Nothing seems depleted; only works like replenishing your tattered soul-- to draw you in closer to God's promise. "Just hold on tight to what anchors above all things..." God loves you.

"HOPE Rises in Our Brokenness..."

Every human has a soul for hearty, lofty dreams. 

These dreams for the most part become a driving force to chase them. Ironically, they don't become a reality. For the most part because many of us "were barking at the wrong tree/trees."-- We've been chasing the wrong dreams.

If we could be honest, transparent, and "naked" with why our dreams had withered & remained "dreams" because our real intentions encapsulate outside God's will or purpose for our life. We ought to be accepting what lies greater than our dreams. God forbid, that if we lose every material possession that we've worked with our sweat & blood, or have a debilitating disease, for sure our hopes will be just healing.
 Hope rises when we let God's intervention work through us no matter what our situations we're in. God is bigger than our mistakes and failures. He wants us to come to Him not run from Him. And with that, we're guaranteed victories and blessed assurance. Let not the power of strongholds hold you back anymore. Cling to the promises of God...

Let this song minister into your hearts. 

"My Google + Pick Today..."

Making it a good moment to gravitate on what is truly important for the kingdom of God. I'm not discounting the momentary fervor of what I've written earlier for what you would like to reside in your heart--the mind will pick it up! For there is no tinge of compromise in the blessings that comes from our Heavenly Father. Not just a lingering thought but a forever thought... Happy Monday




Lovely flowers...they do create a beautiful stir in your heart.

"What Makes You Tick?"

An old proverbial quest which many including myself had that vulnerability, that kind of mystical effect women had asked may be to some periodically; for me, this impenetrable question just got my heartbeat swinging once. And it remained a colossal quest because men who don't look up to God are self-absorbed & intolerably deceitful. My pensive thought.

So what makes you tick? Is it that your ways are eccentric and therefore appealing? Or is it your sense of invincibility at times? And may be, your wit that humored me? Lastly, I could have" sworn," you didn't have any of these...You didn't have to. What I got through it is what enamored my muse in writing. That so called "tick" is the driving force, enough, that even it still lingers, will always be the passionate "catch" of my personal taste.. For that, writers really are the conduit of someone's soul. It's hard to imagine or visualize words in concrete form; for me anyway. They catapult my precepts to more than conjectures...

Even as a Christian who constantly seeking what other truth behooves me Today is still a big part of me as one that epitomizes words, thoughts, ideas as much substance as I want to ensue in my writing. I don't know if being totally candor about emotions makes me tick or leave the unmasking to the ones that behold perceptions worth seizing even only for a moment.

Well I guess, the raindrops coupled with the right breeze that is still pouring is the unexpected muse why I'm writing this morning. For whatever rich metaphor the rain brings at this moment, all I can say is that--it makes me wanna go back to those rainy days when childhood was and still is the best playground of incepting the purity of dreams in our minds. I know every soul goes back to revisit how it all begun...Pause for a moment of truth. It might suffice the difference in your quest.

Just a thought anyway...so , what makes you tick?

Have a Blessed Monday

"Affirmations...that Empower"

                                                       Let these loving affirmations be guideposts, my target landmarks and be an ongoing anchors in my life. God, when I'm beset with the past wrong mindset, let not my heart be troubled, let not my eyes be swelled with tears of self condemnation, regret and more quandaries. Let your love Lord envelopes me for I know that in every longing of a soul is a direct shout & scream for your Grace, Mercy & Love...

Let my words be of Hope, Faith and of Love through you, in the stillness of joy. Let thy words be bidden in my heart so I may be led by the Spirit of God and not my circumstances. Thank you Lord, Jesus for your Saving Grace...Help me rest in your promises and not lean on my own understanding which by the way a consuming farce. May my prayer be more for the need of others and not my self-centered dreams. 

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto them...I am the only Way, the Truth & the Life...
   With thy Word, we can dismiss other postulated ideas punctuated by wrong indoctrination. What the Bible says is what we should and must obey. Otherwise, your name will not be recorded in the Book of Life. Please, don't miss out Heaven!

"Making Today Count..."

Life As We Breathe...

Pictures. Photos. Images.Snapshots. They're all the translation of a large scale of moments in time. You just hope that every capture is more than its face value. How they appear is interwoven with what's in the inside. Whatever that is must be transparent enough for it to be fully alive as the lens transpire the subject.

I may not be adept to dimensional, linear, or apex photography but I intend to take snapshots as they are--at a snap. I'm not  thinking or conforming with the rules of how to take pictures in a certain angle especially people's faces. I'm just an ordinary clicker with only one mission: create words that magnify a celebratory pictorials... After all, our life is vested with family traditions that are worth keeping into creating more lasting memories.

So I took enough photos today for my nephew's Mark post celebration for successfully completing Kindergarten. Such pensive thought came over me--if my brother was still alive, Mark would have been happier. My taking of pictures wouldn't be that predictable but that of unassuming gestures of total mindfulness, peace & joy. But I take life for what it is: counting my blessings as I go forward with that grief unleashed...

I could only pray in faith and hope that angels dispatched by the Heavenly Father continue to guard my nephew Mark as he enters first grade in August. We all know how tough it is to be a normal kid in this age of technology. Many bullies are sprawling inside & outside school classrooms. We're living in a world where darkness grips-- And the only best armor we could equip our children is for them to know the Word of God. 

I am believing this year be a good year. A year of jubilee, absolutely. In God we trust.
