Are You Missing Out?

Wow, the last time I opened my blog was more than a year ago. I felt both nostalgia and disappointment as soon as I re opened my blog. I'm happy to see all my posts and how excited I was before to share the love of God in the internet. But I was disappointed at myself for stopping for a long time. If only I kept up and wrote consistently I would have reached out to more people. Although I am convicted for not persevering in this blog there is always time to restart and God has moved me to write again. The Bible tells us that:


"The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23

I will start again and hopefully be more consistent this time only by God's unending grace :)

So what's up?

I just got married two weeks ago and all I've been feeling ever since is pure joy. Have you ever had the best date ever? A day full of good conversations, laughter and amazing connection. But going home apart and dropping him/her off just breaks your heart because you just wanted to spend more time with that person. Well in marriage, the date continues at home and actually more magic happens. 

The joys of marriage, if only I could express it more. We've had arguments since the wedding and we discover more of our differences everyday. I just found out that my wife is allergic to dust a couple of days ago! We were sleeping in my room, but I only visited from Canada so my room in the Philippines was not at its cleanest state so it was dusty. The next morning I found out that she got an allergic reaction and up to now she's sick. Well, now I know. I'm happily taking care of her and in spite of that, we still continuously bond amazingly.

Experiencing how beautiful God's design is for marriage made me realize that everything that He designed is awesome. Everything He created is wonderful. Everything that will happen in our lives will be wonderful "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 

As long as your life is for the Lord you will get to enjoy His design for your life. Because His design for you and me, as long as we abide in Him is a life that bears love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is the abundant life God designed for us to have! Are you living this kind of abundant life? If not, then my friend, you are missing out :)

(1) WHY DO PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO SMOKING? It all starts with one try, "YB" and when we love the feeling, we're convinced that it is a source of SATISFACTION. However, when our level of satisfaction dwindles, we crave for the feeling once again, which causes us to further with the addiction. We tend to depend on it like OXYGEN. Cheers to non smokers! And more cheers to quitters! Why do we seek for things that will give us satisfaction that's merely fleeting, and surely leads to nothingness? What's sad is that even if we know it, WE DO IT. (2) THE SAME CYCLE GOES OUT FOR WEIGHTY THINGS such as drugs, alcohol and sex. These are things that are terribly OVERINDULGENT that once people fall into it, a cycle of search, satisfaction and emptiness is formed. What's more, when an addiction can no longer supply us with the level of satisfaction we yearn for, we move on to our next FLEETING FANCY, not knowing how further damaging it is to us, and to t...

Smile

I worked for some time in a coffee shop. On my first day behind the cash register, my boss just told me to do two things, “say thank you and SMILE” I’m good in following orders so that’s what I did throughout my shift. At the end of my shift my boss told me that people felt good because of my smile! According to them it was warm and welcoming. Since then I would always smile when faced with a customer. To smile is the simplest yet amazing thing you could do. Actually it’s one of the best things you could do for people as well. Smiling at them will make them feel good. It could make a stranger's day. It’s free and it feels good. What are your reasons to smile? I’ve come up with a list on reasons for me to smile right now. Knowing that my favorite hero “Wolverine” is Canadian Knowing that the movie “The Avengers” is almost out Knowing that I’ll be reunited with my family again Knowing that I have awesome friends all around the planet Just thinking of how wo...
