Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou My Vision

Lately God has been reminding me of that hymn, Be Thou My Vision. In the lyrics it says, "Thou my best thought by day or by night; waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light..."

God is a jealous God. He does not want his children to worship other gods or any "uncertain riches" 1Tim6:17. My heart is prone to wander. To wake up thinking of work to do, people to meet, errands, goals to achieve, etc. where can God be in all my time? His thoughts, His Word, should always be with me as I work, as I meet people, as I do my errands for the day and my goals to achieve.

Last night, I've learned to pray for God's will. To ask, "Lord, Thy will be done." That prayer Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6, is loaded with many lessons. Prayer is not just about petitions to God, it's leaning towards Him. God's plan will be as it will be but God commanded us to pray because in prayer, we are transformed to think, desire and do His will.


"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2

Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa Facebook

Last Sunday I watched QTV's Ang Pinaka and couldn't help but laugh and agree with some or most of the reasons why people are 'pasaway' in FB.

My First PUSO Day

I am 35, single  (technically)   who have been asked numerous times every February of my life this same generic and sometimes annoying question of what will I do on the 14th? Normally my answer would just be a smile but this year is different. I have an answer, we have an all-girls-sleep-over partey!!! Last Feb14 (on a Friday, Payday, Valentines), while the Metro is cursed with heavy traffic both on streets and in trains (ya! people-traffic), I stayed at home the whole day to prepare for the night. My housemates and I, invited our girl friends to have a Valentines party at home and we called it P.U.S.O. Don't ask me what the acronym mean because I keep forgetting, the S though stands for Singles. See my pang-elementary wall decor...We even have our Love wall... Anyway, the ladies started coming by 5pm. The program was simple: eat, have a game and movie marathon. We had dinner, talked, laughed and ate as much sweets as we wanted (imagine 10+ women talking and laughing...t
