I Heard a New Song, I Saw a New Creation

"I come in to the room to make you a new creation. Behold, the old is gone.  
It doesn't matter about yesterday. It doesn't matter about the past. He wants to break in today.  
So, You can have Your way today. I don't even know what that looks like, God, but You can have Your way. 
You can have Your way."
-Catherine Mullins 

How do you see yourself this beginning of the year? 

Mine was all God. I want more of Him in my life and less of my desires. This time, no agendas of my own, that in all things, He will work His way through me.

New challenges await us as we expect to see new things. Always works that way. And so we gotta be prepared. I remember the moment I opened my eyes for the very first time this year God reminded me of having greater challenges for a greater me. Much better than becoming no less than a spectator. We shall be partakers, we participate on God's plan for our lives. 

I pray that this won't just be for this time of the year but all throughout the 363 days that is ahead of us! 

Since God has called us, let's just have His way on us. 

God has so much in store for us. Unsearchable things. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us. Plans to give us hope and a good future. 

I've read this statement from our Pastor's post on Facebook:

God can't break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God. 

Just remember, when all other promises wavered. His did not. 

Know that you are loved. You are a wonderful creation.


In Christ,
Pia

"I Can't Believe It's Over." A Break-Up Story

Image
It was on a Monday night shift that my co-worker and I was left cleaning the whole line (if you've been to the place where I work, the line I was talking about is the one on the inner side of the sneeze guard). We are about to brush the floor clean and to remove the dirt of the most busy place of the store we needed an extra-strong chemical to do the magic. And when I say extra-strong I mean skin-burning extra-strong type of chemical. That is, Diversey's Suma Break-Up. (I should get paid for this advertisement) (There, so you'd imagine my description better.) Cutting to the chase, Wayne (the pretty co-worker in the story) and I are moving chillers and all those stuff around and started cleaning. Until she said, "Ah.. By portion natin ipu- push brush ?" The #hugot lines started. "Yup. Kasi ang break-up dapat dinadahan-dahan, dahil kapag hindi, masakit, madali tayong mapapagod," I answered. And so it goes. The incident is not really the ma

Steve Jobs & Me

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.   - Steve Jobs , CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005 FRIDAY IT'S JUST MY EMOTION feeling bad about everything. But I have the conviction that Someone loves me and suffered for me, and has taken every awful things one could experience just so I could have a choice not having them now. The conviction that makes me confident of everything that I have and getting those that I do not have... yet. THURSDAY I have all the intention and I fall short with my action. Unless I make Christ as my life's (and the desires, plans and ambitions that go with it) Chief Cornerstone. It has been a fulfillment having se

The Story of the Nativity and The Relativity

It was two months before I graduate from high school when I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  College applications, entrance examinations, trendy clothes, hair colors, lovers and friends, and teenage angst were the things this college novice have in mind. Together with the incredulous plans I have in my life. As if those things seem to be easy putting into its rightful place. Things I have for my  self  in which probably what Jesus have seen when He came knocking at the door of my heart which I have humbly opened on the month of February, 2008.  image source:  http://celebritywonder.ugo.com/wp/Oscar_Isaac_in_The_Nativity_Story_Wallpaper_2_800.jpg    It could also be what Joseph have for his life when God knocked him off with a thought that his fiance was pregnant. He's got plans. To where the wedding will be held, who the guest will be; family, relatives, and a couple of friends maybe. To where they will raise their children. Or maybe just a
