I need Jesus everyday, every moment, every bit of my life. I need Him every where I go, I need Him to hold me and to lead me to the things He wants me to do. I need Him as much as you need him. And yes you need him too.
I am in awe of how mighty and how powerful He is. In awe of how much love He poured out and continues to pour out on us.
There are days that i grow weak, but to him i surrender my weakness and in Him i find strength. There are moments when i seem to lose all my hope but to him i look for hope and in him i find it.
Jesus is beautiful, He is soo soo beautiful.
Okay i just entered a contest where they will be giving away an ipad 2 for the winner. i think its for real and i wish i would win! HAHA
God is really speaking to me! I am having such a wonderful journey with the Lord.
Well last night, was kind of funny and really embarrassing. So i lead the youth in praise and worship last night. But i was kind of uneasy with our first song, i can’t seem to remember how to sing it, because we were playing a different key while what was playing on my head was the original key of the song Salvation is here by hillsong united. So when i got on stage i approached our guitarist and asked him if he could help me figure out how to sing the song, and so he was silently playing it and i was trying to sing it,and even he couldn’t seem to sing it right, but we didn’t have much time to figure it out because our youth leader passed it on to us already. It was time to start the praise and worship and our guitarist and i were some sort of laughing and nervous because i know we will somehow messed up. And so i started speaking and asked how everyone was doing, and asked if they’re ready to worship. And so the band started playing, and when i sang the first line i was completely out of tune! That was my first time! And i can’t quite get back to singing it right! And so our band leader approached the Mic nearest him and started backing me up with vocals, but i can’t really quite get it, so in my mind i was like ” Oh God why now? It was so perfect when we were practicing.” and i heard him say ” Just go on.” And so i was really struggling, my sister was looking at me and she was like “ Trish?!?!?” It was so embarrassing, and finally i sang it right when it came to the chorus! It was such a relief but when the verse hit again, i sang it off again! But what was running through my mind that time “ Oh God whatever i do, you must always receive worship” So out tune as i was, i lifted my hands and started getting all hyper in worshiping God. And then the chorus hit again and i’m back in perfect tune until the bridge past and the song ended.
That was one embarrassing experience right? Actually that song is haunting me now, i can’t seem to get it out of my head and how i wished i was able to sing it right. So that was the reason why i can’t get the youth worship service since last Sunday? For the past days i’ve been thinking about it without knowing why.
And some people, most especially the ones that are really not musically inclined didn’t notice the mistake. And some people came up to me , especially the leaders, telling me that they did notice that, but it was good that i kept going and it all turned out that they had an amazing time in worshiping the Lord. They said that it was alright to make that mistake for previous worship leaders have gone through that before and i wasn’t as bad for someone who has only lead for four times. And the anointing of God was there, and they saw how i passionately worshiped God.
So, as i went home to type a record of my day God started impressing in my heart that there was something more to that incident. He told me that “In every thing you do for me , JUST DON’T STOP.” and he also told me that ” No matter what happens to you , you MUST worship Me” and i was like ” You’re right God, so i really have to go through such embarrassing situation just so i could learn that? and He said ” Well, yes”
So in our spiritual life, whether you sing , dance, serve or everything else for the Lord you do not stop. You do not stop seeking Him, you do not stop holding on to Him, you do not stop worshiping him just because you don’t have the voice anymore, and most of all you do not stop loving Him just because you are weary and going through some tough times.
God is Glorious, nothing you do or not do can take away Glory from God. So even though i sang out off tune last night, while i was there up on stage i was looking to Him , i was listening and he was speaking.
Sure it was just a horrible thing to happen, but at least i learned from that.
ALL GLORY BE TO GOD!
superchecherish asked: Still up?:D I have kwentos:D God is Great!
aw. we didn’t catch each other!
YEAH INDEED HE IS SO GREAT!
Well i never thought i’d reach this certain level of happiness since you and i grew apart. And i gotta tell you it’s so amazing. I mean its amazing how i can now sleep at night and not break my heart a little more every time.
Now when i think of you, i’m happy. I hear the laughter ,i hear ’ i love you-s’, i hear little funny insults, & i hear whispers. And i also see beautiful smiles, i see lovely strands of hair, i see stars, and i see sparkles. And i feel cold hands, i feel excitement, and i feel everything else.
But all these are nothing but good memories, and they don’t make me hurt, i don’t hurt for you anymore. But i am filled with this incredible joy, i’m just so glad to have those moments with you my dear friend. I am blessed to have met a wonderfully weird human being.
We can’t go back and change all the bad memories. I wish we could have said everything that needed to be said. But i’m okay now, i think we’re better of this way , do you? Well, you’ve gone so far even before i was able to take one step forward. So i think you know that.
Didn’t i just say i’m letting my curls out? Well i did the exact opposite today. I straightened it this afternoon, took me a while. i FEEL SO LIGHT!!
Oh, if only I had hair that fierce.
I think if i grow out my hair and let it just free it will look like that. i’m kinda sick of straightening it every now and then but i have to. Because my curls are kinda like that and my hair is so thick! I think my hair will look really HUGE!!
For years i was stranded with the same old style of hair, of clothes, of shoes and of everything else. And in my mind i really want to break free. To just let myself be, to cut my hair and not regret it, to let my thick curls out and still feel pretty, but i wasn’t as brave as i wanted to be.
I grew up afraid of something new when it comes physically. Because people would always have something bad to say regarding my look, and when i found a look that was just simple and didn’t receive a lot of attention i settled for that. No matter how bad it looks sometimes i thought it was better than trying something new and hearing all what other people have to say. At least they are familiar to my ugly look.
My mind wanted the acceptance of everybody, i want them to treat me just like how they treat other girls. But i didn’t get the same treatment anyway. Sometimes i will try to wear something different , like wearing skirt instead of my same old jeans and my friends would just say all these nonsense, and i don’t need that. What’s wrong if i just feel like wearing skirt today? what’s wrong if my hair isn’t as straight and smooth as yours? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR EYES? Why do they always have to search for imperfections?
So today i decided to let myself free, because i’m a woman and i need to be confident because God created me. I need to hear from God and not from people. And as much as i could i will let myself go through the process of changing whether it be physical or spiritual. I know i don’t want to be stuck in this way of living, i know it’s fun to dress up to just be me, i know i am His masterpiece.
So if somebody is out there who feels like this, i tell you you are not alone. Let us not be afraid anymore.

Laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night, never could be sweeter than with you
Im in love with this song.
The past days have been kind of rough for me but Jesus is still the same , he never changes though my seasons change, though life changes, and He is still good.
So for those ‘rough’ days i was asking Him for strength since i am growing weary and weary as time gets old. I just was exhausted from all the works i got to do, and i feel all the responsibilities on my shoulders and it resulted to bad temper. And last night was terrible regarding that, i just lost it. I didn’t want them to call my name since it will cause me to do some sort of task even if i was settling down to rest. But i knew that i was called to serve and obey the people around me and most especially my family, so i did what they told me anyway, but it was a burden and i know God didn’t like me doing things with burden.
And today i got up around 11 am , and saw that the house was still a mess, that i got to cook lunch and clear up some things. And then before i continued to do that i asked God to give me strength, to give me the joy of obedience and He surely did!
Though i still have a lot of work ahead of me, i know God sees me and he delights in me because i serve my family. So yeah! THANK YOU JESUS!
tomorrow im planning to cut some of my hair again. Man, i just want something new! and i’ll do it all by myself!!
