Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it
Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen.” (James 5:7, NLT).
God has put dreams and desires in every person’s heart. But most times, there’s a season of waiting involved. Maybe you’re waiting for a relationship to improve; waiting to get married; waiting for a promotion; or waiting to overcome an illness. Much of life is spent waiting. But there’s a right way to wait and there’s a wrong way to wait. Too often, when things don’t happen on our timetable, we get down and discouraged or anxious and fretful. That’s because we’re not waiting the right way.
Notice that today’s verse doesn’t say if you wait, it says as you wait. The fact is we’re all going to wait. It goes on to say that we should consider how the farmer waits—patiently and eagerly. We’re not supposed to sit around discouraged; we’re supposed to be hopeful, positive and full of expectancy!
Today, no matter what you are praying for, expect things to change in your favor. Today could be the day that God turns it all around. As you wait with patience and expectancy, you’ll open the door for God to move. He’ll fight your battles, and you’ll see that abundant harvest He’s promised in every area of your life.
A Prayer for Today:
God, help me not to be impatient, but to wait upon You and what You want to bless me with. Give me the strength not to give in to the way the world runs life, because I know that You have all of my steps designed. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Reminiscing on your past is never easy…Especially when its about someone you were once close to…but has now been taken away from this world. AJ, its such a shame that you had to leave so quick. It hurts because we were actually once close. Remembering back in high school when you, me, nicole, diane, christian, scott, and rj would kick it in the mornings before class would start..Remembering all those good ol’ times in freshman year too. All your daring and courageous acts. All your heartfelt, inspirational talks. Its sad to know that you can’t be here anymore. 8years seems long, but we’d be having our 10year reunion with our class &you could’ve been there with us all. It sucks that you had to leave us so early. The memories replay in my head over and over. There’s really nothing I can do anymore, but thank you for putting smiles on our faces, for always cheering us up, for always making us laugh. I was told, “Lose A Friend, Gain An Angel.” So AJ, please watch over us all. You’re one man that will never be forgotten, but will forever be missed. We love you &truly miss you.
RIP Alexander♥

Smile and Be Thankful :)
You’ll have those days when you feel like everything just keeps going downhill on you. You’ll have those days when you feel like people walk in and out of your life and then there’s just no one around for you. You’ll have those days when you feel like you just can’t take it anymore. You’ll have those days when you feel like disappearing from life…But then you wait patiently…&you’ll then start to have those days when you feel like everything is slowly starting to get better. You’ll have those days when you meet new people and wonder where have they been all your life. You’ll have those days when you feel like you’ve been blessed with a life you thought you’d never have…Everyone will have it hard as life is never easy. And everyone handles things differently as every situation differs. But smile &be thankful for the life that you still have as there are some who weren’t able to go through one.

Never Alone
…to know that there are people who are actually willing to sacrifice their time for you. To know that there are people who actually do care. To know that there are people who actually do love you. Never feel as if you’re all alone in this world. Open up, cause you never know who’s willing to stretch their arms out just for you :)

*God help your people to have integrity. give us the strength to live for you, day in and day out. we need the motivation to stay dedicated without compromise. i praise and thank you for what you have done, but God…i know that there is so much more work yet to be done. how can we share your love, when we aren’t even living in your love? please forgive us and may your mercy be shown in our lives.
Amen.
I work hard to give my audience original music. I always show love & respect to all artists who show me the same..
but if you steal my song (lyrics), make a music video, claim it to be yours, and give no credit to me… that’s a different story. Covers are cool but stealing it (& claiming it) from an independent artist with no record label is NOT cool. Please go to this video and dislike it! He stole my entire song “I Can Be”… for real?let it be known..
*shame.shame.
When it looks dark in your own life and things aren’t going your way, dare to make that declaration of faith just like Jesus. “It is finished.” What you’re really saying is “God, I know You are going to turn this situation around. I know You are going to heal my body. I know You are going to restore my family. I know You are going to give me the breaks that I need.” Don’t go around complaining. Speak victory over your circumstances. Trust that He is faithful and that He will complete what He’s started in you!
Sacrifice.
Sacrifice. It can be one of the hardest decisions you gotta take in life. Its the after feeling of knowing that you gave up some of your time and effort for somebody that can get to you. Now there will be people who take advantage of it or won’t even appreciate it. But just know that you did your part &someday your reward will come :)

Your Smile :)
Your smile. It can act as a weapon to those who shoot you down. Stand tall. Stand strong. Keep a bright positive smile on your face. They hate knowing that you can move on and still be happy even if they hurt you…(well of course unless they’re so cold hearted and just dont care.)

Scrolling down and ending up reading blogs written by strangers never fail to fascinate me in every way. Whether it’s an image, or a picture with a quote, or a simple text entry, you’ll be surprise to know that someone out there is also in the exact pair of shoes that you are in right now. It’s consoling because you know that you’re not alone, that there is someone out there who is fighting the same predicament that you are fighting. And whenever I feel like I’m just an inch away from giving up, I gain enough courage because I find the inspiration to fight from those who are in the same position that I am. I tell myself that if others can surpass this then so can I.
alyssaashleydelunaramos asked: Oh my gosh! Filipino ka pala :D Thank you din sa follow as well as for appreciating the things that I write on my blog :) I really like your blog too, it's really something as a matter of fact it inspires me. You're such a strong girl, I wish I can start my life over the way you did it. Anyway, I wish you all the good luck in the world, have a nice day! :D
Awwww :) this just made my day ! Maraming ng maraming salamat sa inyo ! :) &its not easy getting to where I am now, but it takes a lot of courage and faith. Remember that God is always with you, guiding you every step of the way. &also keep in mind that you can get to anywhere you want to be, you can be anything you want, if only you set your mind to it. People will come in the way to push you down, but use that as an advantage to get yourself back up to prove them all wrong. You’re stronger than you think you are. You can do it. Just have some faith in yourself :)
