Song of the Now: Love Is Waiting

This is the perfect song in relation to this post, tehee!

In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

[CHORUS:]
I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I'm singing for the strangers about you
don't keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you're my man

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

[CHORUS]

Love is waiting

Photodump January-February

Hi reader! It's the finals month already and yes, my thesis and all the other things in between are taking so much of my time that I don't get to at least write something about my so wonderful life, haha! Hai Pamey, I am back! :))

The end of January was pretty tough and stressful. Carlo was confined  due to some infection.

 I took refuge on this: 

Psalm 119:76 

May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. 

And of course, God remained faithful, after 4 days, he was discharged! :)

2 days before my final defense came this unexpected problem on my manuscript, I must admit, I got really devastated and was pretty emotional about it. Loved ones and friends from church prayed for me. You see how blessed I am to have all these people in my life? God reminded me in this time of trial to cast my cares unto Him and He will sustain me (Psalms 55:22); and because God is able, he renewed my strength and made the impossible, possible! :D 

It is a delight to see it that I am almost halfway done with my inspirational  photo wall project. 

Our home has been pretty quiet since the passing of my lola last January and I am just glad that my cousin, Arianne (though she could be really loud and annoying at times, but yeah, still fun to be with) is staying with us for the meantime.

This is an appreciation photo because Jollibee's tuna pie is baaaccckkk and I hope it stays for good because it's just so gooey and so yummy!!!

  

Made these goodies for my friends. I pat myself for this cute idea, hihi. :)

"God wants us to experience a secure, lasting, and fulfilling relationship. " -Pastor Adrian

I am excited!

I bought this book 13 months ago due to impulse only, but last Sunday, I felt like it was already time for me to read it. I am learning a lot from Mr. Harris, here's one of my favorite lines from the book:

God wants us to appreciate the gifts of the present season of our lives. He wants us to learn the patience and trust necessary to wait for His perfect timing in all things, including our love lives.

These Mexican treats are the easiest to prepare, I miss cooking a lot alreadyyy!!!

I was cleaning this spot at 1 am, how weird can I be? Ah, hormones!

Until my next blog-worthy post, hrhr!

xoxo,

Take Heart

It's the love month once again. I've been excited for this day for weeks already because our church has prepared a two part series entitled "Be Careful with My Heart". I had invited some friends to the said event and surprisingly, they said yes. :) It was a very fun experience. I felt like we were just all in the same age bracket which apparently is 18-20 years old, haha! There were games, food, live band (wherein I sang some lines of Apo's Panalangin with the vocalist, ehem!). It was a blast! Our spirits were all high, we were all laughing and singing and squealing.  

Then came the part when Pastor Adrian talked and preached about what it is like to be careful with our hearts. Here are some verses to keep in mind:

Proverbs 4:23

Above all else, guard your heart,

    for everything you do flows from it.

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?

Philippians 1:9-11

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Too many times in our lives, we had advised or were given an advice to follow our hearts, but you see, that very heart can deceive us, so instead, let us take responsibility on guarding it.  Perhaps, it is not an easy thing to do, but hey, be courageous, it wouldn't hurt if you try. ;) 

Have a heart that follows God. :)

Side story:

So, I was listening to love songs earlier, and then out of the blue, Carl, my son said "Just pray to the Lord and He will give you true love." 

Right on, baby! :D
