while I'm waiting

Another favorite song of mine... this time it's about waiting on the Lord for His will, plan and purpose in my life. This was from the movie "Fireproof" it made me cry buckets watching that movie even if I'm not yet married! Here is the music video and the lyrics as well.

John Waller - While I'm Waiting (Official Music Video) from Provident Label Group on Vimeo.

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

still

I'm contemplating on this song... and it just hit me.  With all the happenings in my life, the trying times: meaning challenges or struggles may it be in the work place, family or personal life... all I need to do is to be STILL and know that God is in control. 

HIDE ME NOW
UNDER YOUR WINGS
COVER ME
WITHIN YOUR MIGHTY HAND

* WHEN THE OCEANS RISE AND THUNDERS ROAR
I WILL SOAR WITH YOU ABOVE THE STORM
FATHER, YOU ARE KING OVER THE FLOOD
I WILL BE STILL AND KNOW YOU ARE GOD

FIND REST MY SOUL
IN CHRIST A – LONE
KNOW HIS POW’R
IN QUIETNESS AND TRUST
(*)

an open letter for myself

Bakit ba ang sakit-sakit masaktan pagdating sa larangan ng pag-ibig?  Tagos hanggang buto... ilang araw ko na din nararamdaman ang sarili ko tuwing madaling araw na humihikbi at tuloy ang agos ng luha sa aking mga mata.  Hindi ba't ako ang may kagustuhan nito?  Pero bakit ang sakit pa din?  Kahit na alam kong mahal ko pa din sya, pilit kong tinitiis ang sakit para lng mapanindigan ang puntong nais kng ipaintindi kng bakit ako bumitiw sa relasyon.  Maraming mga bagay akong inisip bago ako nakapag desisyon na tapusin na ang lahat-lahat sa amin.  At sa mga dahilang ito ko nakita na siguro nga'y hindi kami tlga para sa isa't-isa.  Ayokong sabihin na ito ang itinadhana para sa amin dahil kami din naman ang gumawa ng mga dahilan kng bakit kami humantong sa ganito.  Masakit man ay kailangan kong tanggapin at intindihin ang nangyari sa amin.  Maikli  man ang aming pinagsamahan bilang magkasintahan, maituturing ko pa ring isang magandang karanasan ang sya ay nakilala at nakasama.  Sya pa din ang aking unang pag-ibig, una sa lahat ng bagay.  Gusto kong isipin na sa kahit maikling panahon ay nadamayan ko sya sa hirap at maging sa kasayahan man.  Alam ko na kailangan ko itong pagdaanan at makayanan, upang sa darating na panahon ay  matuto ako at maging marunong sa mga gagawing desisyon sa buhay... so help me God!!!

buying a car

Now that our house renovation is almost done, 90% actually... there are still some repairs to be made but it can wait...  My next project is to buy my first ever car!!! I know that this is too much for me to comprehend.  But I believe that with hard-work and perseverance, I can be able to purchase this car.  The car that is in my mind is the Toyota Avanza.  I like the slimness of the car, and yet it can seat 7passengers.  I just hope and pray that I could be able to come up with the funds to purchase this baby hopefully by the end of the year or early next year! :)
