Strong, Brave and Humble

via

Our body, mind and soul could do amazing things even when we thought we would not be able to do it. Our weakest moment could be the time when our true, inner and most of the time, hidden, strength comes out and fight back. 

We survive because we try to do our best and the result surprised us, because we limit our ability to do something greater and settle for less, until something happened and we have no other choice but to survive. In our survival mode, the strength will rise and shine to its limit or I should say the ability to be the best.

Bravery is not just for those who fear nothing in life, but also and especially needed for those who worry a lot, freaked out too many times over little things, and scared of almost everything in life. Yes, life is (sometimes) unpredictable and is a scary place to live, but life also happens in a way that we never thought possible.

Whatever meant to happen will took place, whether we like it or not, ready or not, expected it or not. We could not control everything in life, so why bother by worrying about things that might never gonna happen to you anyway?. Deal with what is in front of you now, take it one day at a time, everyday has its own trial and triumph. 

So, try to be brave even when you are scared simply means to put up a fight even when you think you might not win the battle. But when you fight back, you do not give up easily, you put up a good show and who knows? you might win the battle, but if you never try, you never know, right? ;)

Strength is mostly mental than physical! If you set your mind to do it, the result will be much better than when you already think of "I can't do it!". When you set your mind to try your best, bravery will rises in you and will gives you the boost that you need to face everything in life.

Now, winners are those who defeated their enemies, may it be your own struggles and problems within yourself or with other people. Whatever it is or whoever they are that you defeated, keep in mind to stay humble. Yes, you are happy, do your happy dance and share your success with others, you deserve it. But, stay humble, because when your pride takes over your humility, you will not go far. A great leader and winner showed others how to be success, they do not keep it to themselves, they shared. A great leader and winner help others to reach their goals. A great leader and winner is the role model to others, that includes being humble, wise and smart, especially in victorious moment, when your character is being tested.

True compliment comes from other people who praises you based on your performance, accomplishment and testimony. Action speaks louder than words and people will see your action and hear/listen to your words. Be careful, don't let you defeated your own victorious  moment. 

Seek wisdom!

Pray More- Worry Less

via

Sometimes, even when we pray, the worry, fear and problems are still there, but there is power in prayer that makes you stronger to face them all. There is a huge comfort in knowing that God is doing something for your own good. It does not mean that you will get your prayer answered the way you wanted it, but it means that God answered it according to what He thought is the best for you.

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

(Romans 12:12)

So many times when God showed us what He thought is the best answer to our prayers, we do not like it. In fact, it could be the most painful thing in your life. We may never understand why God would allow such thing to happened in our lives, especially because we prayed. But then one day, we woke up and we get what God was trying to do through that painful time in our lives. He wanted to save us from a future disaster, He wanted us to experience His love and  miracles. He gives us hope and strength that nobody else could provide, etc.

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."

(James 1:2–4)

But, there are also moments and specific events that we might never understand why God allowed to exist in our lives. But, by faith, we just have to believe that God knows what He is doing, it is above our own understanding to know everything in this world. We just have to pressing through our problems, move forward with our lives and knowing that God is good, even when painful things happened to us, He is still a good God. Why? because that is faith; Pain, suffering, death, persecution, famine, and war will never separate us from God's love. 

Our destination and home is heaven with Him, where there is no suffering, war, pain, sickness and death. This world filled with evil thoughts and acts, but this is not our forever home. Our hope and faith is in God, who is preparing our forever home in heaven. 

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

(Romans 8:28)

Some gives up hope and faith when painful events took place in there lives and hating God for not helping them, for allowing those things to existed, for leaving them when they needed God the most (or at least that's what we thought, while God is thinking and act differently). God will NEVER leave you, forsake you or laughed at you when you are in pain. He cry with you, laugh with you and died for you so that you could experience eternal life, not death (Read/click: 1 Thessalonians 5:10 and 1Peter 2:24)

"Be strong and courageous. 

Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. 

He will not leave you or forsake you.” 

(Deuteronomy 31:6 )

Some gained hope and faith when those things happened in their lives and experience God's love like never before, because they knew that only God could take away that pain from their lives and replace that with unspeakable joy, healing, peace of mind that surpasses their own understanding and fear. 

It is OUR choice to see and experience life differently!

We may chose to be happy and moved on or we chose to be miserable and walk backward to our past. We could chose to give it all to God or to carry all of our heavy burdens to ourselves and let it consumed our lives. We may chose to let God do what He think is best for us or we may chose to do it ourselves and screwed it up because we have no idea what we are doing. We could chose to be free or a slave to our own misery, sickness, pain and troubled life.

My prayer today for you who read this post is that God will gives you peace of mind, strength and comfort, hope for a better tomorrow and love that will filled your heart with gladness.

May God be with you and bless you,

May God takes away your pain and heals you,

May God comfort you and hug you with His arms,

May God wipe away those tears from your face and gives you peace,

May God take away the pain that enslaved your soul and gives you hope as your new anchor for the soul.

Be free in Jesus name! Amen

"do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 4:6–7 )

My Getaway

My Getaway..

Sometimes when I need to find peace,

I run into nature,

I hide on its beauty.

My Getaway..

Sometimes when life feels overwhelming,

I seek wisdom,

I listen to her.

My Getaway..

Sometimes when the uncertain scared me,

I surrender to the all powerful one,

I let my fear go.

My Getaway..

I found you everywhere,

I rest my case,

No more worry because life is beautiful,

 My Getaway..

The ONE who knows my secret,

my deepest fear,

my glorious moment,

my best and worst thoughts,

my insecurity,

my pain and my gain.

My Getaway,

I am saved with you,
perfectly covered with grace,
overwhelmed with love,
living with hope anchored on my soul.

My Perfect Getaway!

BE STRONG!

Tough year?! ..ALREADY?!


The year just started and you have been excited and optimistic about the whole NEW year, NEW start, NEW beginning, NEW visions, etc. But, reality hits your life..hard! Your personal life taking a downhill, work sucks, relationship issues, your sport teams lost (BOOO!!), etc. You have lost all the joy you had on New Year's eve. You started to think negative and hating your life. DON'T!!

Don't let anything or anyone brings you down. When life gets tougher, FIGHT BACK! Know who you are and your strength. Do not let other people cross your line for their own benefit.

Whoever and whatever that needed to stay in the past (that include one second ago), SHOULD be left behind, in the past, where they belong. Don't get lost in your own past, get out of there and move forward with your head up! I am a quiet, shy, introvert person. But, underneath all of that quietness, I have a powerful voice and I use that power when needed.

STAY STRONG!
