He Never...

God never tests us to hurt us,
but to help us.
He never tests us to destroy us,
but to build us up.
He never tests us to wounds us,
but to heal us.

We need to relinguish the idea that God's testing is punishment. It isn't. When God disciplines us and tests us, it is not because He is against us but precisely because He is for us.

I've got test/trials to overcome. But i've learned that for every battle, God will be fighting for me. Isn't it wonderful that along our journey whether it's a fight between hidden or visible enemies, physical or spiritual, self or others....God is there for us?

Never will He ever leave us or forsake us.

Praise Jesus oh my soul!

Let Us Witness Together

OK, here's something like meat to me.

I have decided to be get awaken from my silence.

It's now or it's now.

With open heart and mouth, let us be a living witness of Jesus Christ.

I decided to know how (because i know WHY)

And here's something that i thought will be of help to me and to anyone who's also trying to make their way out of SILENCE.





An Added Beloved


I started loving whom my love loves.

Here are they. My future sister-in-law and nephew-in-law.

How precious it is to have known them.

God blesses me so much.

Thanks be to God.

It all begins here -->

Have you ever experienced a deep-longing for PRAISE and PRAISING?

This blog has been inspired by fellow bloggers and friends who longed so much and is not satisfied ( as we not ought to be satisfied) with the way they praise God.

I longed for more because He deserves MORE and is worthy for MORE from praisers like us.

Got my Bible inspiration in the book of :

Psalm 84:4 (King James Version)

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Photo of Praise


O how i wanted to glorify God in everything that i do.

This year, as i get to know Him better and brighter each day, i am thinking of ways on how i could lift His Name up higher.

The blog thing is an awesome reminder to put God on top of everything even on our love life, family life, our daily journey, our walks, every decisions and goal, actions and reactions, thoughts and dreams and everything.

As God continuously changing me, i realized i am really a changed person. I am not the same comparing to what i am yesterday.

I come to realized that it's not only my heart that God changes but my whole life.

I love photos. And most of the things people could see on my camera or cellphones are my own reflections. My face, my clothes, my bags, just me me me.

And now, i still love to look on my reflection. But it's not on the face, body or anything in physical.

I can see God's reflection as i look in the water that i drink, the trees, mountains, little children, tears, laughter, books of divine revelations and teachings, flowers, bodies of water, preachers, teachers, songs...life.

I started taking pictures not of myself but on those things where God's beauty dwells.

Inspired by bloggers and friends, i started expressing my love for God on those pictures like this one and i called it my "Photo/s of Praise"

Glory to God!

Talk to your Mountain


Photo by Jen Smith


MARK 11:23 NKJ
"For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says."

"Talk to mountains? Do you think I'm crazy?"

Jesus talked to things, and taught that "whoever" could also
speak to mountains.

A mountain is primarily any obstacle that stands in your way.

Faced with obstacles, most Christians pray to God. But Jesus
told us to speak directly to the obstacle and tell it to be
removed.

There is nothing wrong with discussing things with God. You
should. But when something is blocking your progress -- Jesus
said YOU should tell it to get out of the way.

Most Christians just speak to God about the mountain, instead
of following Jesus' directions and speaking directly to the
mountain.

Are you just talking to God about the problems in your life,
instead of talking directly to the problems and telling them to
be removed?

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJ
So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for
assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed,
you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and
it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

According to Jesus, unbelief keeps us from speaking to our
mountains.

What is the mountain in your life? What stands in the way of
your progress? What holds you back from going forward and
fulfilling God's plan?

..Speak God's Word to that mountain!

..Speak to the devil and his forces and tell them to get out of
your affairs.

..Speak to sickness and tell it that it can't stay in your body.

..Speak to debt and financial lack and tell them to be removed
from your life.

..Speak to doubt, fear, and worry and tell them to be gone.

..If you say, "I just can't believe it would do any good for me
to talk to problems," that's why you still have them.


Read what Jesus said again, and again.

And now i am blessed and glad that God is showing me His ways.

Thanks be to God.


Isaiah 40:8


Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."

Be Encouraged


God is in control. He is sovereign ... even in our pain, even in our troubles. Through it all, His love is transforming us, perfecting us, completing us.


You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You

And I wait on You

I will sing to You, Lord
A hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'll never let me go
Through it all

Hallelujah, hallelujah
