A Surprise Coincidence.

16 January 2012: My first step of faith.

16 March 2012: My second step of faith (in exactly 2 months).

A coincidence? I like to think that as a divine appointment.

Faith is like muscle. It will only get stronger if you exercise it.

“Almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

- Steve Jobs -

"Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need."

- Paulo Coelho -

Father, please help me to overcome. I really miss my baby. More than words. I do not know what went wrong. Love inside me has been rekindled and I do not know how to put out the flames.

Today, something priceless within me is lost and I do not know how to retrieve it back, without my love by my side. I have tasted heaven and now, I do not know how to continue living on earth.

Help me discover a little more about myself through this journey of healing, faith, hope and love. In your unfailing love, be my anchor and my strength.

Grace will lead me home. Teach me to trust You.

Amen & Amen.

And to you, my heart will forever say "Je t'aime mon chéri."

Happy moments, Praise God.

Difficult moments, Seek God.

Quiet moments, Worship God.

Painful moments, Trust God.

Every moment, Thank God.

“Of all the ways we have found to hurt ourselves, the worst has been through love.”

- Paulo Coelho -

Love makes me stick around.

Love makes me want to be strong for you.

Love makes me put you first.

Love makes me forget my own needs.

Love makes me hide my tears and struggles from you.

Love makes me want to protect you with all I have. 
(and wishing I have more to give you)

Love makes me want to be your lighthouse.

Love makes me hold on. Irregardless.

There is something beautiful that we have. 
And for the world of me, I do not want to give it up. 

Simply for Love's sake.

My Word for 2011: Trust

‎"Will you let me shake your world so I can give you an unshakable kingdom? Will you trust me to rebuild your world as I would have it to be? Will you trust me to rebuild you?"

One Word 2011: Trust

This would be my word for 2011. To trust. Even when it is seemingly impossible to. No matter what the world says, I still choose to trust You. Irregardless. Simply because Trust is all I have right now. Nothing else.

A Surprise Text.

"this coming year, i hope you create a story that you love. i hope you make something beautiful and take great risks. i hope you dare yourself to do brave things. i hope you will have a conviction and see it through. i hope you fall in love - with art or a person or God. i hope you discover the miracle of faith. i hope life breaks you and from the disaster, i hope you come out brand new and beautiful. i hope you have the courage to take the weak things and amplify them until your life overflows with only the good stuff. i hope you see the world and meet interesting people but above all, i hope you have an absolutely passionate love affair with life."

This made me cry. And in the midst of my tears, my heart says "Amen & Amen."
