reflection of the day
The best gift anyone can give me this new year is a planner.
I like planners because I am a planner.
I like thinking ahead.
I like being prepared.
I get a high from being on top of things.
But some things are beyond planning. And life doesn't always turn out
as planned.
You don't plan for a broken heart.
You don't plan for a failed business venture.
You don't plan for an adulterous husband.
Or a wife who wants you out of her life.
You don't plan for an autistic child.
You don't plan for spinsterhood.
You don't plan for a lump in your breast.
You plan to be young forever. You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful. You plan to be acclaimed and
successful. You plan to conquer the universe.
You plan to fall in love - and be loved
forever.
You don't plan to be sad.
You don't plan to be hurt.
You don't plan to be broke.
You don't plan to be betrayed.
You don't plan to be alone in this world
You plan to be happy. You don't plan to be shattered. Sometimes if you
work hard enough, you can get what you want. But most times, what you
want and what you get are two different things.
We, mortals, plan. But so does God in the heavens.
Sometimes, it is difficult to understand God's plans - especially when
His plans are not in consonance with ours. Often, when God sends us
crisis, we turn to Him in anger.
True, we cannot choose the cross that God wishes us to carry,
but we can carry that cross with courage knowing that
God will never abandon us nor send something
we cannot cope with.
Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, God sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes God sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we can
learn the value of everything He gave us.
Make plans but understand that we live by God's grace.
We certainly don't plan to hurt other people.
We don't plan to trifle anyone who treats us in a very special way.
We don't plan to be the cause of anyone's discomfort let alone misery.
And while we know that a simple apology won't do --
if we know we are sincerely sorry for the harm we have
(deliberately or) unwittingly done,
if we know we have learned from our wrongdoing
and if we have in fact started
to make efforts to correct our mistakes --
we will just have to learn to forgive our self.
And then, the universe will follow.

the power of prayer
i experienced a miracle last night. it's not something like a stone-turned-into-bread thing, but, it amazed me so much because i was in the middle of my prayer, and suddenly, something great happened to me. THANK YOU Lord for making me realize these things.. such simple thing that happened to me, but touched me so much!!
God really knows what's in our thoughts and hearts and He alone knows what's best for us. all we need to do is to completely trust Him... sorry, i can't really divulge the exact thing that happened, but, i tell you, the ONE up there can really move mountains....
God will make a way where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way
By a roadway
In the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But his word will still remain
He will do something new today
