Emptiness

“Our hearts won’t rest until it rest in God.” - St. Augustine

 
The feeling of barrenness and desolation persist because we all have a deep down emptiness that can only be filled by God -like a God-shaped vacuum that only God can fill. 

                                                                           
The process of unmasking and healing are tiring but needed if we want to set forth a new journey, a new life.

When we are open, honest and trusting, we'll begin to appreciate and comprehend the spring of God’s water welling up in us- God’s purpose, God’s will in our lives...including the emptiness. 

When we let God hold the reign, our emptiness will be filled up and it's a beautiful process, like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon, like blooming flower from a bud, like a sun rising and shining forth, like a mother giving birth to her baby, like a wrinkled face of an old man with a sweet smile on his face because his dearly beloved is holding his hand.

Life can sometimes be a struggle. But, God’s fresh, clean, living water is available and it’s never limited!
Let us the continue to OPEN UP.
Let us open our hearts, open our minds, and open our soul and meet God, in His mysterious and special way.

 
FORGIVE.   
Let us forgive ourselves, forgive our past, forgive our world. Let us stop our resentments, stop resisting, stop revenge and Let God take control.

and LOVE.
Love like a child. Love like a baby – unconditionally without expectations, without conditions, without ifs and buts. Let love consume us. Let love grow within us and let that be our protection always!

AMEN.

    God is like love that moves in mysterious way. We're inferior when we compare ourselves to our Creator. But because of His greatest, unfeigned love, He fills those inadequacy we've, the emptiness that you're talking about. We beg for His goodness and mercy. He doesn't want us to be miserable like the Son of Perdition. He wants us to live with Him by following His commandments.

    When you feel empty, remember that God supplies us with our needs (and the wants too). (Philippians 4:19)

    The Holy Spirit may come upon us anytime...
    We have to PRAY harder and be the BEST follower of HIS word.
    If someone do good things to you... pay it forward.

Outside the Box!

Welcome to WEALTHY TUESDAYS! Money-Matters!   Let’s me face the fact.  The fact is anything can happen.  Everything is possible and possibilities are infinite. Good. Wait! Everything? Is possible? Infinite possibilities? Yes. That’s correct. (It is only our mind that sets limits; try pushing your mind beyond the box!) I learned from seminars I’ve attended in the past that  “If the intention is clear, then the mechanism will appear.” Formula: Intention 100% + Mechanism 0% = Achieved Goal 100% If my intention, (belief, purpose, faith) is clear then the mechanism (activity, action, system) will appear! ~ and that will make me achieve my goal! 100% intention that is ALL IT TAKES! Wow! Then, let me be clear: “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could be of more service to people esp. to my family, relatives and friends.” and “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could enjoy more of life’s grandeu...

The cursed HOW

In my blog post “ Powerful Thoughts ”, I have written how powerful our mind is and whatever we create in our minds, if we believe, it will achieve! How-To-Request-A-Mortgage-Rate-Adjustment-F Honestly, I did not have any idea as to HOW it will happen – (flashback, my solution for our family to be together and not have my husband work as an OFW anymore was to migrate).  HOW? that was the question!   All I have was a belief that it will happen,  158Belief.jpg and for me to mentally picture what I want to happen, I have posted dollar bills,  talk incessantly about going to America someday,  kept a dollar in my wallet just to attract it…       What else? I went to DFA in Lucena to get our passports!  That was how determined I was! epass_trans_small-1.png My aunt asked me “where are you going Gi?”,   I told her to DFA, to get our passports. She asked, “Why?”  ...

Say IT!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/70285332@N00/3032368925 "Show what you feel in relationships. If you feel like crying, cry your eyes out! When you feel like laughing, laugh your eyes out. Scream when you want to scream. Roll on the floor. Surprise everybody!" "Please don’t wait to communicate your feelings!" This came from Leo Buscaglia 's book Living, Loving and Learning . (click his name to know more about it.) For now, you would have known that I am a fan! Yes, I am! Just Say IT! I hate it when my husband will not talk to me because I did something wrong! I do not know why he needs to pamper the pain!!! I am his exact opposite because I just simply communicate what I feel, well, tactless at times but, I need the communication part, so that when I’m done with it, then it’s done.   Just LET ME KNOW! There are people who are afraid to communicate their feelings to the point that instead of directly telling "what's bugging them" with the particular...
