WriteHim

Someday Soon

I believe that someday soon…
The images and shadows will come…
Your word will become flesh.
I don’t mind waiting.
He will come.

Until the day he steps into my life…
I will keep on seeing the vision
The memories of forever before time
The love that will be mine
From your very heart, through his soul,
Someday, the one will embrace me soon.

His heart will beat to the rhythm of your heart.
I will hear it say, “I love you in his love.”
The day and hour unknown,
But after every storm, I know I’ll soon be home.

We’ll share your revelation
We’ll dance and walk along the shore
We’ll smile together in your embrace
Recite your faithful promises
Someday soon.

Your love
Holy and pure
Will manifest in his eyes
With the strength and courage found in his arms
Your love through his life
He will come. Holy and pure
Your love through his life
Someday soon.

Just For Today

Father God in Heaven,

Help me find rest in you alone. Help me understand the beauty of waiting on you alone. You told Abraham to wait patiently on you and he received what you have promised him. May I go through today, just for today with strength and new hope. Teach me to hope on greater things. Show me your glory today and may I just stay in your embrace. Teach me to wait.

Love,

Loving You is Rest

Loving you is like breathing fresh air in the middle of the green fields
while the light shines silently as my day begins,
it's new every morning.

Loving you is walking on solid ground, strong, steadfast and unchangeable.
Loving you is easy and light and not burdensome.
Loving you is like a gift, unexpected but freely given.
Loving you is courage, teaching me to jump off a cliff and dare to feel alive and live.
Loving you is finding comfort amidst this confounding universe, there is stillness in the sound of your voice.
Loving you is discovering the deepest depths of the ocean, unraveling the beauty in the mystery of your soul.

Loving you is seeing my Maker through your eyes, loving me through your heart.
Loving you is finally coming home, finding everlasting rest in the arms of my beloved,
dwelling safely in the shelter of my one and only Lover,
Loving the peace, that surpasses all reasons, I can only find in your embrace...

Indeed, loving you is finding rest.
Loving you is rest.

My Nothingness

Heavenly Father,

I come to you today, humbly asking for your mercy and grace. Be magnified. I ask for the forgiveness of my sins. I ask that you have mercy over my life. I have nothing. I am nothing. I am not sure of tomorrow. The only thing I am sure of in this world is that you will always love me. And for that, I am assured I will be alright. I have nothing to give you but my nothingness. Take my life. I surrender my heart's desire to you. You are more than enough. I will declare it now, and for the rest of my life... I love you.. not because I should, but because I simply do. I adore you.

Forever grateful.

Not Enough Tears

Father God,

I'm thinking about the things happening and those to come. A season, a reason or lifetime. I don't know. There are not enough tears to convey how my heart painfully cries out. My mind is at a blank. My body is tried... I don't want to move or do anything. But I know I have to. I have to just walk in faith, and fix my eyes on you alone. I love you. This hurt will not change my longing of your presence. You may not hear my voice tonight, but you heart my heart's desire. I just want to do what you want... So, give me a pure heart. If you want me to forget everything, then give me the heart to forget. Bind the wounds and heal me. Embrace me so tight, hold me close to your heart... Let me rest in your embrace.

I don't have the strength to move and think.
Just hide me in your love.
Judge my heart, and
let me find rest in your love tonight.

Love,

Not Because I Should

Heavenly Father,

I just want to say, "whatever I feel is not important."

I love you, not because I should... but because that's the truth.

No amount of happiness nor pain can ever separate me from you.

That's your promise.
Till we meet face to face.

I'll be waiting.

Someone

It is actually weird entering this phase. God has locked and sealed this heart inside my chest for quite some time, and now that is actually feeling and seeing somehow makes me wonder. Two years ago (2005), people around me kept (and I say everybody) coaxing me to try being in a re-la-tion-ship. My friends, people at work, at church and at home have been bugging me and actually convincing me to open up myself to the idea. I don’t know what got into all of them. I found my self quite a bit irritated. One co-worker even tried setting me up for a blind date. Imagine?! Then when I told another about his unsolicited scheme, the other, to my amazement, actually tried to encourage me to go on with the proposed rendezvous. I remember one morning while I was having a conversation with my big sister, I mentioned this kind ‘a bizarre phenomenon – ‘like a wave of whatever’ to her. Then what she said in reply left me stunned and took some seconds of my mind. She said, “maybe it’s your time now”. Is it?

God is the ultimate executive writer of everyone’s story. I simply believe that it will come to me, if ever He included it in my blueprint -- in the fullness of His time. Only in His time. And I deeply believe He had written it beautifully. When I read a book about this dating thing, God lead me to surrender my love life to Him. Let Him handle it. Admittedly it was not easy. Let someone handle and decide for me? My love life? Are you serious? But our Father is. And it made me love and adore Him more. I entrusted Him my everything, which of course includes this one. That is why I don’t worry about it. He definitely knows what He is doing.

But let’s go back to the original track of my reason for writing this. Before, me and my girlfriends don’t talk about this. I actually avoid talking about this. But now, I don’t know, our discussions shifted to it for some reason. So now, I think, or maybe, it is time.

I would like to write here some of the things I want to see in a man (if God really included it in my life list). I will state the shallow side first…

ü Someone tall.

ü Broad shoulders.

ü Medium built.

ü Moreno.

ü Witty.

ü Intelligent, though not necessarily genius… just somehow I can have deep and great conversations with.

ü Someone who knows me and the little details I like about simple daily things.

ü Someone who can’t get enough of me but of course knows when I need space.

ü Someone who respects himself and the people around him.

ü Someone carefree.

ü Who believes in the freedom of expressing what is in his mind and his heart.

ü Someone who wouldn’t shout at me in front of his family, my family and our friends.

ü Someone who chooses to be better because he desires to become a better version of him.

ü Someone who decides for himself to become the best that he can be, in heart and soul, not because nor for someone else.

ü Someone who is not afraid to communicate the thoughts of his soul.

ü Someone simple but deep.

ü Someone who knows when not to speak.

ü A mentor.

ü Someone who knows how to pacify me.

ü Someone who knows how to plan.

ü A good friend.

BUT, all of the things I listed above would be totally discarded if there is one thing missing, and that is…

Someone who loves God more than he loves me.

With that, I am assured and secured that man knows how to love. I believe this is enough reason.

Although most of the times, we tend to build this skyscraper-thought of the person we want to be with -- Someone near perfection. We become very busy focusing on what one should be that we forget on how to be better versions of our selves.

---Ideals are the like the stars, you cannot reach them with your hands, but by following them… like the sea faring man in the ocean, you will reach your destiny.---

I made a decision that I will follow God. Whoever, whatever He wants for my life, I will follow Him. And I trust that He’ll give me a gift I know I wanted. I have faith He knows what I want and will give me what I asked for. As long as I have faith in Him.

I don’t want to enter a relationship if I have not fallen in-love with God first. If my relationship with this Perfect Lover fails, I cannot succeed in any other relationships.

So we need to be strong and take heart and just wait on God. I don’t want to be afraid of what and who he will be, or if there will ever gonna be somebody, I trust in Him who cares for me. I trust and have faith in His promises. And I will not be disappointed.

Honestly, there’s this voice in my heart saying I will meet someone beyond my expectations (Ephesians 3:20). My Father in Heaven will let me know if it’s finally home.

As always, be magnified in this life.

Be magnified in our lives.

I'll Be Fine

Heavenly Father,

Help me focus on the things you want me to do. Remind me of my purpose and assignment. I give you all that I am today. Help me think straight. Help me put aside unimportant things, things that don't really matter. Teach me to let go of things that are not meant for me. Teach me to surrender to you more each day.

Help.

Teach Me to be Selfless

Heavenly Father,

I honor you today. I give you honor and praise for all you've done. I am at rest... resting in your love. I would be tempted to fear and doubt, but your words for this year are "wait and rest."

If there is anything I ask of you today, Father, teach me to be selfless. Teach me to forget whatever I feel. Teach me to focus on your will Teach me to always trust in you, and choose the path you have laid for me. I don't know everything, and I don't know what to think. What I know is that if I call unto you, you will answer. You will deliver me. You are always there. You have diminished me into this little person. I know your purpose is for me to just depend on you. I may have lost some, but I gained the most important in this life... You. Help me, Father. Help me trust you. Teach me to love you more each day. I am yours.

Love,

Thank You for My Friends

Heavenly Father,

I come to you and ask for the forgiveness of my sins. Help me understand the world around me. Help me accept situations. I believe you have a purpose. I believe in your omnipotence and omniscience. Let me hear your voice today. Father, I thank you for my friends. I thank you for sending sweet souls to comfort my heart. I thank you for loving me through them, teaching me through them and disciplining through them. I ask that you comfort and embrace them at times I won't be there to listen to their silent tears. Thank you, Father for strengthening them... for people like me who need people like them. Bless their plans and dreams. And teach me to love them the way you want them to be loved and cherished. Again, Father... Thank you for my friends.

Amid the Violence in Syria

Father God in Heaven,

You are powerful and sovereign. The ruler of all nations in the world. I come to you in humility and reverence. I pray for the people in Syria. I ask you Father God in heaven to put an end to the war and dreadful violence in the land. Minister to their hearts and send peace and comfort. Your perfect will is to bless your people and the nations. You are the God of peace and not war. You are the God of love and not hate. I ask that you protect your people. Give them hope amid the violence in Syria. Let them start afresh and find shelter and refuge in the place you will lead them. Hold their hearts and I pray in Jesus' Name that you will be their only source of strength.

Overflow

Father God,

I worship you today in my life. I exalt your wonderful name and I lift your name up upon the heavens. You are great and you do great and wonderful things. I exalt you on high and I bring glory to your name. Nothing is impossible with you. You are awesome in my heart. You are worthy of praise forever. Continue to move in my life and in my world. Let your purpose be fulfilled as I surrender my whole life into your powerful and loving hands. I glorify you Father God in my life. I pray and ask for the forgiveness of my sins. Redeem me from all of the fowler's snare. Make me fix my eyes on you alone and be forever magnified in my life. Cleanse me within and let springs of living water flow in my life and let your love overflow throughout the world, through your Spirit.

Prayer for Syria

Heavenly Father,

I pray for the people in Middle East today. I saw photos of people lying in their own blood. Comfort those grieving for them. Comfort their families and loved ones. I pray for peace in the middle east. I pray for Syria and their government. I ask you Father God in Heaven to send restoration and gladness back in their hearts. I pray for serenity amidst the chaos. I pray for the children who lost their parents. I pray for these kids. I pray that there will be families to provide them home and shelter. Have your way in their lives. Open the heavens and pour our your blessings over Syria. Let your love abound in all of them. Have your way in their hearts.

I just want to do Your will

Heavenly Father,

I honor you in my life. I give you glory for all the things you are doing in my life. I love you. I have no one but you. I ask for the forgiveness of my sins, cleanse me Lord. Cleanse me with the blood of the Lamb of God. Cover my heart, my mind with blood of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Father, I come to your throne in the Name of Jesus and ask you to deliver me from all troubles. Hide me in your loving arms. Keep me safe and protected, by the power of your name. I have no else to call unto, no one else for me but you. You are my hiding place and refuge. My only strength. All that I have is yours. All that I have, you can have. I have nothing but your love. Hold me close and take me into your arms. I just want what you want for me. Strengthen my heart and body. Strengthen the people around me. Strengthen everyone, those who are lowly and in need. Give us the courage to fight battles set before us. I ask for wisdom and understanding. I ask for your deliverance. Thank you, Father. All my hope is in you. Amen.

We Don't Find Fault

The impossible can be made possible. You are taking us to new dimensions and new heights. You are digging deeper. We don't complain and we don't find fault. We tell you, thank you. You are making a better us out of this. We thank you because the crushing means a new oil is about to spew out of us. We thank you Lord.

My Hiding Place

Heavenly Father,

You are my hiding place. Shelter me from the storms of life. Help me and embrace my heart. I pray for those in need. I pray for those struggling right now. Strengthen them and hold their hearts. Help those in pain, and quiet their spirit today, for your mercies are new every morning.

Love,
