God loves a cheerful giver as the scripture says. And lately, I have been very scrimpy when it comes to my offering and have not been tithing for the longest time, but that’ll be for a different post all together. Anyway, 3 Sundays ago the Lord wanted to put me to the test and the teaching series back then was all about tithing. Read more…

Lately I found myself frequenting bookstores again. And if there’s one good indication that I’m flipped out and at my wits end, it’s that I always find time to go to the bookstore. Read more…

Beyond All Measure is such a surprise! What I initially thought to be an old-school, slow paced with very minimal twists and turns kind of a novel, got me reading even while aboard the train on my way to and from work. Read more…

Time and time again some heads of different denominations would have predictions about apocalypse and would state that it would happen at a given date. In my 30 years of existence there has been several religious heads who’ve made a fool out of themselves by giving a specific date about the doomsday, only to take it back when it didn’t happen.

Lately, I’ve been feeling so far away from God. Haven’t been really reading my Bible and skipping my daily quiet time with God. It is no wonder I feel so tired, alone and up to some extent sad. Once again, I found myself with lots of questions. I haven’t been really happy and productive at work and am feeling down given the painstakingly slow progress of my son despite the therapies. I know it’s only a matter of time before I break down once more.

Last Thursday, I went to the drug store to buy medicine for my son who was sick then. After which, I went to the hardware to purchase a pvc cement. I felt so down and worried over my son, not just because he has fever at that time but also because we’re still unsuccessful in recovering him from autism. When I got in the store, God finally reassured me. The song playing in the store was Don Moen’s “I am the God that healeth thee.” I felt tears brimming in my eyes, I had to make an effort not to cry right then and there. I felt God’s arms enveloping me.Telling me to trust Him because He will take care of things.

Two days ago, I saw a sign on a tricycle saying: God will Provide! What a wonderful reassurance. And yesterday, on my way home from a client presentation, while I was pondering about what I really wanted to do, God once again spoke to me. The tricycle that I rode on my way home has something painted on its bumper (if you can call it bumper). When I looked closely into it, it says: When you don’t know what to do, let God lead you. So today, I’m praying for more enlightenment and confirmation. I feel like I am Gideon, asking God for multiple signs. But I take joy in the fact that the God of the universe loves me enough to actually speak to me.

Your love, oh God
Displayed for us
As crimson covered
Over sinless hands
Your majesty
For all to see
In raging storms and quiet cloudless days

Beautiful Savior
Nothing is greater, briliant Creator

You’re powerful
Above this world
The universe is under your command

Your glory shines
A holy light
That leads our hearts to praise
Your holy name is on our lips

Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Savior

My heart will bring

My lips will sing
My heart will bring
Praise to you, holy!
