Guaps means beautfiul

My best friend and I call each other Guaps. It is a Cebuano word meaning “beautiful”. This is one of the wonderful posters that she posted around the clinic where we work on my birthday. It really means a lot to me. She the best friend that everyone would ever want. God is so great for giving me a friend like her.

Strectched to the max

I have particular prayers that I am waiting for a long time for His answers. Sometimes I feel like my patience is not only stretched to the max but almost to the verge of losing it. I am reminded today that I should not let my faith depend on a prayers being answered. Instead my faith should be in God and His goodness. Wither He answered yes or no to my requests, even if He does not do it, I will still believe He is good and all things work together for good.

Not only for what we are

I read a bible verse today 1 John 4:10. It says, “This is love not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” This is a wonderful truth that we need to accept. Jesus Christ has a love for you and me that is unconditional, perfect, and will never be taken away. We are loved. Nothing in us gave rise to it, and nothing in us can extinguish it. And His love is creative. Jesus sees in each of us the man or woman we were meant to be. With His help we can love people in the same way for it is impossible to give out love without becoming a more loving person. He loves us not only for what we are but also for what we can be.

Million miles away

Do you ever feel like God is million miles away and is not listening to you prayers? I do feel like it today. In my low moments like this, I have to read the bible. After reading some verses, it always reminded me that God is not only there, but He is interested in every aspect of my life. In fact, He wrote the bible to tell His limitless, unconditional love and that He longs to share a personal intimate relationship with you and me.

Practice thanksgiving

The vegetales song "Thankfulness" keeps on popping in my mind today. I am reminded to give thanks to God and people is the easy way to start a joyful day.We should say a prayer of thanks for everyone and everything you come across today. No exceptions! Turn on the light and bless those who discovered electricity. Bless the farmers who grew the food you’re packing in the kid’s lunch. When you get in the car, bless the automotive engineers who invented seat belts. Bless the person in the office elevators who’s talking top volume on her cell phone. . for reminding you what not to do. If we make this a habit, I am sure that we will have delightful days.

HEAVY HEART

Today, I feel so sad while I was writing my resignation letter. It is with somewhat of a heavy heart in writing this. This decision was made very difficult because I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the company where I work. Working for this company has been a wonderful experience. I could not ask for a better group of colleagues. I have grown in many ways here. However, it is time for me to move on to another chapter of my life and of my career. It is just sad to leave this place and the people I love because it has been my life for 9 years. I will miss everyone. I will also miss my patients. Actually, I am in ambivalent kind of feeling for the past weeks. I am sad but I am also excited to leave and begin a new chapter in my life. God bless me.

MY FRIENDSHIP

My friendship with my best friend is more than I could ever ask for. She is so sweet and very sensitive. We are always there for each other when we are not feeling 100% super beautiful. We make each other laugh when we are down or sad. I am so thankful that God made memories. Memories are like diamonds, they are forever.
I am so grateful that my friendship with my best friend means a lot to her and to me. She is a missionary from Canada. There are times that she becomes homesick missing her family and friends. I did my best to take care of her.True friends are always there when we need them.

WISH I HAVE BIG SIS/BRO

How I wish I have a big sister or a big brother. I will never experience that for I am the oldest in the family. My life would have been happier and easier. I have no regrets though. I have no one to confide to of what I am going through aside from God and some close friends. There are things that could not be shared to friends though. That is why I tried to be a good big sis to my siblings. I do things for them as what I want my big sis do to me if ever I have one. It is fun to be a big sis but sometimes it is so sad to know that I am misinterpreted. I am not perfect but I do the best I think I can. One thing I know for sure that I will never do anything that would hurt or make them sad.

ADDS A LITTLE EXTRA

I am just an ordinary person. But I have no worry being one I just add a little extra that makes me extraordinary. A laid back person who wants to do the things in order and on the right time, wants to do my best as I can be, brightens every corner where I am at. I have passion on photography, enjoying capturing anything that captures my eyes and attention. Always amaze of the beauty and wonders of the world. I really marveled how mighty our God is, the creator of all.
