The Real SECRET




“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33




I am not sure about the beliefs you were brought up with, but when I was growing up, Mommy would always remind me to keep my goals to myself. 


She said, not everyone will support you, not everyone will understand why you want what you want. 



So, she tells me the best way is to let whatever your heart is telling you to do, or to happen in your life be between you and God first. 





Then take a step towards it, do what needs to be done, and then you’ll see miracles happening.

I believe this is the real secret. GOD. To seek Him first, His plans and His will for us. 


... and for sure, all our hopes, dreams and desires will be ours. 


And so it is.

    This is my father's favorite verse! Tama nga, He alone blesses everything and unless you figure that out, the blessings are senseless!

    Inspiring. Nothing is impossible with God and when you believe you can, other are just opinions and they don't matter.

    Yes, I agree. Not everyone will understand us and extend their support to us (sometimes even the family members)... but thank God! He will always understand us... and He'll be there at our side whispering "I'll be with you no matter what, stay with me too". Love that verse: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33"

    Nice advice from mommy!

    Whatever goals or plans you have, consult with God first then pray for it. If you find peace then take action

    Its true. What we all need to remember is that at the end of the day, it is only ourselves that we can rely on.

    I strongly agree with this. God will work wonders for you and your goals if you believe in him.

    GOD is everyone's SECRET weapon.
    Our strength comes from our faith in HIM.
    Whatever we aim to do will be guided by one
    spirit and that is... HIS HOLINESS.

    Being in Europe for almost half of my life now, it's been a challenge for me to talk about faith.

    Unlike the Philippines, which is predominantly Christian, we almost take it as given to talk about our faith very openly, and know we will be understood.

    My first trip abroad, I stayed in an Arab country, and a year later in Germany and now we are settled in the Netherlands. Travelling has been a childhood dream a goal as I became an adult.

    This is the first thing that came to my mind when I read this post - how in reaching my goals, I became closer to God, how it strengthened my faith.

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
