i feel blessed reading your letter to ur dad…

I got my dad a Bible with his name imprinted on it. Pray for him as he receives this as I leave for LSU. I wrote him a letter, too:

Dad,

I’m giving you this Bible because of how it’s treated me. I promise you, that if it weren’t for the Bible, I wouldn’t be the same son you love today. It’s truly changed my heart for the better, and I love it. I’m not giving you this book to force anything on you. Rather, I’m giving it to you to share a part of me that I couldn’t share with you any other way. I hope you’re enlightened by it. I know we have our differences and it’ll always be that way. I love and accept things as they are. I am who I am, and you are who you are. If you weren’t, well… you just wouldn’t be. But anyway, my point is that I love you, dad. I love you just the way you are, imperfections and all. After all, if you were perfect I suppose you wouldn’t be needing a “buddy”, huh? That’s why I’m giving you this Bible, because you’re my buddy. Because when it comes down to it, I just wanna stay in touch, stay buddies, and know each other. I love you, dad. What are we? Buddies. If you could, every time you think about me while I’m college, read this book. Go ahead, why not. I mean it’s the piece of me (other than Amanda…haha) that I can tangibly leave with you at home, while I’m an hour away making sure tuition’s well spent. Thanks dad, for everything.

Love,

Michael

Jeremiah 29:11

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:42:14 -0500

For I know the plans I have for you,

“declares the LORD,”

plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

This is God’s promise to us, and He had stayed true to His word as He gave us this trial. When my sister got sick 2 months ago, she said this is the very verse God showed to her and a message one brethren also gave us. It was a struggling time for all of us. We are all worried about her. She’s our youngest. She’s our pride and glory in the family. Eversince she was in primary class, she have always achieved recognitions, medals and awards. It was hurtful to see her sick and not being able to eat well. She had to skip classes and got really thin. Yet God used the situation to bring out the best in us. Eveytime she is confined is a chance to get deeper in our relationship with the Lord. Everytime she gets well is a chance to glorify God’s name. God is teaching us very important lessons, lessons that can only be learned the hard way… forgiveness, humility, discipline, patience and love. Forgiveness for we know that only when we free our hearts & forgive our others will God forgive us too. Humility, that the achievements of this worlds are all worthless if we cannot please God. Discipline…in taking care of our physical body and eating healthy foods that we may be more efficient for God. Patience, because healing is a process and everyday is a great day to know God is in control and will do the work for us. Love, most especially, letting us know that He gave us the right pair of parents, siblings, relatives and circle of God’s family to care, support and pray for us. God showed the power of repentance and prayer. My sister is now in the healing process and I know she will get better. God is healing her and will restore her health. He is our gracious Jehovah-Rapha. In God’s time she will be back to her normal physical health, but the lessons God have showed us will remain in our hearts. Indeed He kept His promise, that His plans are to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us hope and a ‘better’ future.

God is faithful, we are weak. It is only when we give our full dependence on Him will we know that we are strong.

Haha! I am reblogging this, really! Those 3 words is my laptop’s password ever since. Because, that was right. I AM FREE! God set me free a long long time ago. Even before I was born. :)

Matthew 6:6 - But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

You are not a bad person. In fact you are smart, deep and fun-loving. You are loyal and you are very giving. It’s the little things you don’t take note of that have become saddening. Manners. Good manners and right conduct. Fair ways of treating people. Of speaking, of saying the right words, and the proper time to say them.

I am letting out the deepest sigh right now. I don’t know how to deal with this. All I know is that I am sad and I am afraid of how things will go if these ways go on. Not really big things. But small things that sum up to be an unlikely feat for the people around you. My heart is breaking. I do not know how to go about this. I just have to let it out.

All that’s in my heart and mind right now is this: 2 Timothy 1:7 - For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

According to Rick Warren, listening to your fears is listening to Satan. God has NOT given us a spirit of fear but power, love and discipline. I am heart-broken by the truth that there is fear within me, fear of bringing this up. But I am overcome by the spirit that God has gifted me with, and that is a spirit of power, love and self-discipline. I am holding on to the power of trying to understand, and to smile despite certain things. I am grounding myself with self-discipline, discipline to be patient, to speak of this only when necessary and to pray for you and myself, for your heart and mine, because nothing is impossible with God. We cannot change people, we cannot change their heart, same way that we cannot change ourselves on our own. We need Him. So with this, I believe that He is in control. I lift this up to Him for I know that where my strength ends, His sustenance begins.

“We walk by faith, not by sight. We risk because God does not risk. We walk into the future with God-glorifying confidence, not because the future is known to us, but because it is known by God. Worrying about the future is not simply a characteristic, it is the sin of unbelief, an indication that our hearts are not resting in the promises of God.”
