Spiritual Dryness

I don't really feel comfortable opening myself up on blog but now i feel the urge to write about spiritual dryness. As many people would think, i'm not a holy person nor to be considered as one, not quite but there is a desire in me to live a life that Jesus wants me to. In my own personal opinion, i think we all should desire to live that kind of life. Hard. One word to describe it. And especially when you are experiencing some sort of spiritual dryness. I can attest to this. When your prayers seem to be just up somewhere and you wonder where it has gone. Did God actually hear my prayer? Pretty sure He did. But what has happened to it?

I have heard from somebody that when you find it hardest to pray the more we have to force ourselves to pray. Oh boy. This is like forcing food into your stomach and it's rejecting it. Only because our body needs it. Our spirit needs prayers to feed on. Our prayers will feed our spirits that it may continue to live a life that is in Christ. And what do we do when even during our dryness we haven't heard any answer from God?

Patience. Patience is a virtue just like the old adage. And seriously, i'm being impatient right now because i feel my prayers have not been answered. But we continue to hang on to that faith and to that promise that if we abide in Him, He abides in us, and all that is being asked in His name shall be given unto us. That's the beauty of the promise of God. And i continue to hold on to that promise because He would never fail us. Though it may take forever to get an answer from God, we should know that God is suffering with us. This is the time that God allows for suffering to dwell in us because He knows that our soul needs it. Only when the vine is pruned that it is able to bear much fruit. And thru this suffering, we are pruned. That is the beauty of it all. So hold on and continue to pray and continue to desire God.

Happy Monday!!!!

:(

Things are not looking good for me. This is probably one of those lonely weeks.......all things shall pass. God is with us.

A Cup of Coffee

I am enjoying a cup of coffee right now. I am not a big coffee fan and since i can't drink anything that has caffeine in it, i don't really drink coffee. This one is decaf tho. And as i took my first sip, it felt like heaven. The coffee aroma and the flavor just comes out great. Little things that make me happy.

I'm just about to start work and hoping that this will be a productive one. It won't be too long i will be on vacation....i'm excited on that one!

Back again!

Oh wow! It has been really a while since i last blogged. I have been very busy and have been caught in so many things. Where do i begin here, hmmm... Well, 2009 seems to be a very exciting year for me. I hope and pray that God will be very generous with me this year with blessings and things that are in store for me this year.

Although there may be things that keep crossing our minds in one way or another, i pray also that this may not cause me to worry too much. It feels as if that as we grow older the burden on our shoulders become heavier and heavier, is it by choice that it becomes heavier or is it fate? Surely, there will always be answers to the questions we have. Someday, when the time has come, we will all understand and say........ahhhhhhh..now i understand.

For now, we will have keep holding on to that faith. Someday! All shall be well :)

On a lighter note, i am looking forward to a much awaited vacation :)

Muni muni...

As you grow older, yikes, yes, older, you gain more experience about life. Some are good and some are not so good but whichever the case maybe these experiences make us become better people. Only if we learn to look at the positive side of life we will be able to transform these weaknesses into strengths. Easier said than done, i know.

Some of the things i've learned.... in anticipation to my bday hehe

1. Respect demands respect. If you would like people to respect you, it must start from you.
2. Be sensitive to the feelings of others. Do not be morbid. You're not dead.
3. Words can be destructive. Be careful with the words you say, process it before speaking.
4. Only keep friends that can be of good influence to you. Better to keep 1 good friend than 10 that will destroy you.
5. It is not wrong to show that you care for others. You might be dead tom and you've never done it because you're scared to be judged by others.
6. Always be firm with yourself.
7. Trust in God.
8. If there are more bad memories in a relationship than good ones, give it up. *winks
9. Do not junk the people you care about.
10. Be careful when you are angry....wait till youve calm down and decide on things.

AND MORE TO COME :)

Happy Weekend!!!

A reply to previous post.....

And what did i tell you about my previous post? That everything shall pass, and it did. :) God is good!

Some thoughts...

Have you asked yourself why we always fear of things, of what may happen in the future, of being sick or even of dying? Have you been worrying about so many things in life? Little things that preoccupies your mind or even nonsense issues that just bombards you with unhelpful thoughts.

Whatever they may be, God allowed that we fear of things. It is His way of letting us know that we need to get connected. Without this "fear" we would become like sheeps lost from his flock. Yeah. I always wonder why i have to fear of things. It was just today that i realized that had i not feared, i would have been totally different in a sense that i would have totally forgotten that i need to become a good person. Or sometimes when you start to find yourself strayin away, it is always that feeling of fear that brings you back to your Master.

Wow, i'm feelin all spiritual today. I just thought i'd share that lil thought of wisdom that i was blessed with today. I still fear but i know there is an assurance that with patience all shall pass. :)

Good day!
