Holding Hands

“Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time” - Jesus Christ
faithtalkministries.com

I remember years of going home late from school after teaching evening classes, I would always end up walking from the gate of the subdivision where we live to our house! 
It was a long walk, dark, and I was always on my own! What kept me safe, sound and secured the whole time was Jesus!
As soon as I stepped down from the jeepney (popular means of transportation in the Philippines), I would say my prayer! It was really more like a-friend-talking-to-a-friend-kind-of-communication. 
In my mind, I would say, "Jesus... here I am again! please hold my hand and let's walk together!" and I know he would do just that!
It was a good 10 minute walk and I felt his hands wrapped around my hands the whole time!
Thank you Jesus for every time I call your Name, You are there!
Thank you for the many times you have held my hand, while we were walking in the dark, you have kept me safe and secured. I felt so loved.
Up until now, You are still with me, and I know You will be until the end of time.
Amen.

    I have missed this kind of connection with God. I rarely go out of the house now.. But I always hope for the same protection..

    Amen to this full trust with the Lord Jesus Christ you've made. Everybody in Jesus is safe. With His hands everyone is held to their safety and assurance of being protected from any subtle craftiness of the devil. It's time to thank the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I would often imagine groping Jesus' hands whenever I feel lost and vulnerable and oftentimes, I would realize that he was holding me all along, I was so wrapped up in my problems that I missed his presence.

    Nothing is more comforting and secure than being in Christ's protection. It's a "jungle" out there but faith and prayer keep us safe. Thank you so much for sharing another inspiring story of your faith! God bless you always! :-)

    When we have no one else to turn to, we always turn back to the Lord.
    God bless :)

    it's always nice to talk to Him especially when you need security. Prayer gives peace of mind, always. Yahweh bless.

    As what God would always say, "ask and you shall receive....,"

    and I love the Lord so much, with all my life, that's why I decided to dedicate a part of my life through service and following his footsteps as well (not of the nailing on the cross) but a path to holiness

    :)

What's your EXCUSE?

Image
http://www.flickr.com/photos/12218772@N00/2761472020 Oh, how we love to make excuses! In all honesty, we know that there are infinite possibilities. It’s actually scary sometimes, because, our dreams are not impossible but could really come true!!!  It is just a matter of focusing our thoughts and acting on it and it will happen! A very simple rule, and yet we seem to always have our excuse! You know what the truth is? The truth is, we know it is not impossible, we are simply lazy. So we make our long list of excuses! Right? - It is more convenient for us to watch TV all day than start working on that project that we have long been thinking of. - It is more fun to talk about another person’s marriage failure and problems than to start looking at our own and doing something about it. - It is more easy and simple to live day in and day out asking for support from parents and relatives than to start our own living. We are so good at making excuses that we are even able to make others...

...in my bridge

I feel like I am currently in a "bridge". My life hanging at the moment. My life on hold. I was supposed to continue on with my next 30 day challenge - and I still do, I still TRY to eat less, I still TRY not to eat AFTER 6. But, I haven't weighed myself yet.. so I will update my THE 90-DAY CHALLENGE on the 90th day!  I will post my final weight results here on April 8! I have a lot of things cooking up in my mind. But, due to what-have-you reasons, it all needs to wait. God knows my plans and my dreams, and I am just holding on to HIM. For the mean time, in my "bridge", I am loving the opportunities that are coming my way. I am loving my ambiance, the people I work with, friends I have online and offline; everything and everyone, I appreciate and love! I just feel blessed - and I hope you feel as blessed too! But, I am still here in my "bridge", and I wait. Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco, USA Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo, Japan ...

I play SOCCER!!!

Image
Prior to entering 2nd year college, we were interviewed, one by one by our College Assistant Dean.  He looked at my grades and then asked, "Are you sure you want to major in Computer Technology?", I said, "Yes Sir!", he blurted "Mmmm... why not PE?" PE was my lowest grade! "Are you OK sir?", I answered, "As you can see, I do have the lowest grade in PE!!!" I wasn't into sports, well, during high school days, I did play Volleyball with my friends. The homeowner's association would organize summer sports for youth, and I was part of that. I did have PE classes - table tennis and dance! and I did play fun running and other games when I was a kid! But that's about it! I mean, I would rather read and write than play sports! So, I kinda surprised myself yesterday BECAUSE for the very first time in my entire life, I PLAYED SOCCER (the whole 9 yards!) Well, I was in for a surprise! I was catching my breath the whole time!!!   I ha...
