i miss you Beb..
called to love
34“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35

i just noticed that Jesus called this a “new” commandment..and i wondered why. Even since Moses’ time, God commanded us...

Watchmy baby almost 7 months ago..moving from from Arizona to Alabama.
we were halfway around the world from each other, yet we began to talk to each other everyday.. we became best friends. we began to truly, deeply love.
and then through a series of God-planned signs, confirmations, and happenings (God-things..:),
2 months later we became ofish, and 4 months later the Lord brought him to...
How He Loves
He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
i am a tree
bending beneath
the weight of His wind and mercy
.
when all of a sudden
i am unaware of these
afflictions eclipsed by glory
and i realize how
beautiful You are and
how great Your affections are for me
.
and oh, how He loves us so
oh, how He loves us
how He loves us so
.
He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane

i wanna keep writing
to lift up the One and Only,
and encourage those who feel small - like i did.
no matter how insignificantly tiny you might feel,
GOD can use you in mighty ways. :)
think about young David, or the 8 year old King Josiah,
or the widowed foreigner Ruth.
God is good.
*and i write for Jason, my one and only love..
to share my heart with you even when we can’t be together face to face.

trust in the Lord with all your heart...
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, -
seeking His will in all you do -
and He shall direct your paths.

lists
i love lists.
i like reading lists, and i love making them.
but there are several pros & cons to making these lists, such as the following:
pros
organizing thoughts
keeping track of thoughts
forcing you to think
cons
to-do lists drive me nuts when i don’t get something(s) on it done
lots of time is spent making lists
sometimes you have to rank things, which is always...
everything begins & ends with You

Revelation 1:7-8
the last thing He said
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching...

lately i’ve been thinking about evangelism, and just the sharing of good news.
probably because i’ve been trying to share with my roommate, Judith.
and that when i did, i had trouble..but i know seeds have been planted and are being watered by the Lord as i speak. i just pray that her heart is good ground..
also, talking to Jason about it, realized i barely know anything about how...
unplanned
i went to the cafe to get coffee, have some quiet time and use the restroom.
but the cafe was crowded and loud.
i take forever to choose what to order, or decide whether or not i even wanted to stay, so i just headed straight for the restroom cuz i could not hold it any longer. the restroom, also called the comfort room in the philippines, is named so appropriately. i came out, rested and...
clogged
i hate thissss.
our toilet is clogged - but i haven’t used it in over 4 days!! i’ve been going to the toilet elsewhere to avoid making ours worse.
but it’s getting worse.
it smells and refuses to flush properly.
so now i am going to the local cafe to have some good coffee, have some quality quiet time, and use their restroom.

the instrument
i remembered that one of the dreams i had last night, in addition to meeting jason, was a dream about giving somebody a present.
i was in a place that resembled our house in Manila, Mommy’s house in Sun Valley, and everyone was getting ready to give someone a present. (i don’t know who!!). it was a really big deal, and everyone took a lot of time to find and wrap and prepare their...
creepy
the other night i dreamt that i was dared to go into an abandoned building.
it was scary. darkness, zombies, ghosts, or whatever it was that seemed so scary in this nightmare, filled the place. i was dared to go in so i could retrieve something - i don’t remember what.
but i went in.
it felt like i was in a left for dead game, minus the weapons. i was unarmed and being chased and i...
dreaming
i’ve been dreaming a lot lately.
or, *i’ve been remembering my dreams a lot more lately.
last night i dreamt of many things; it’s all a blur now, i waited too long before i actually decided to write them down and now they’re just the leftovers that i can remember.
but what i do remember is dreaming of Jason.
i dreamed of his arrival in Amsterdam.
i was sitting in the...
Raw
i made this new blog to record raw thoughts as they come, thoughts that may be difficult to condense into a 150-character tweet, the random clutter in my head that isn’t very organised/easy-to-read.
sort of like, a published draft. hahah.
i have too many drafts stored - song ideas, blog drafts, letter drafts, essay drafts, journal drafts, even prayer drafts!, - that remain unfinished...
