Prayer #1


Will you please join me in prayer today?


Father God, we praise, thank and glorify Your name. 
We honor You and we worship You.


Nobody knows our future but You, You are our only assurance.


We know we are destined for greatness, because we are created in Your image and likeness.
We know we are designed for good, because You are our God.
We know we have a lot more to learn, unlearn and relearn in new ways, through people, events and circumstances to allow us to grow.


As we take responsibility for choosing and defining our own lives, guide us.
As we take an active role in preparing our future, lead us to the right path.
As we take life’s challenges, trials and tribulations, show us the way.


Help us learn from our past and celebrate today!
Help us choose life every day, with its joy, despair, hope and pain!
Help us continue to be willing to risk, embrace change, and love again.


   At the same time, help us make peace with death, because it tells us we don’t have forever and not waste time.
At the same time, help us be open… to accept, give and receive… your graces, your blessings through “angels” you are continuously sending …
At the same time, help us remember, that whichever path we take, You are there.


And we are grateful.


In Jesus’ Name. 


AMEN.

    For me the most heart-warming prayer is the Lord prayers.

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...

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...
