AMAZING!!!!

I haven't been here for some time.
Busy with work!

I had one wonderful week with the Lord last week :-)
I skipped lunch everyday, was in "fasting" from 7 am to 7 pm.
It's been the longest fast I've ever done and the Lord has really embraced me.

"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." James 4:8

For my daily bread, I read Finding Refuge and Strength by Harold J. Sala and The Purpose Driven Life.  The latter was given by my friend to me in 2004.  I have two copies actually, but only got to start reading it when I gave birth to my son.  It's a wonderful book.  15/40 chapters palang ang nabasa ko so far.  There were passages that I did not understand and really voiced out to God that I didn't get it.  And then when I continued reading the other book, there it is! explained for my better understanding.

I confess that I have never been good in my meditation nor in my prayers but still God is molding me each day.  Sana lang di masyadong matigas ang ulo ko at wag na tatamad tamad.  My iPhone is really a great help.  Kahit patay na ang ilaw at tulog na mga anak ko, puwede parin akong magbasa ng Bible. 

Nahihiya ako lately kay Lord kasi ang prayer ko nalang lagi is "Thank you Lord"...lahat ng bagay "Thank you Lord".   Page 104 of the Purpose Driven Life taught me that we can 'praise God without using the words praise, hallelujah, thanks and amen.  Use fresh words like admire, value, revere, honor and appreciate.'  So in my morning walks, ti-nry ko mag pray using these fresh words.  Nice, but  I came to a word that I now use to exclaim my thanks and praises for the Lord.  I say AMAZING! when I see God's wonderful creation, when He answers my prayer or for just everything... I say my prayer, I just say AMAZING!!! Indeed the Lord IS... 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray Continually"  We do not have to lock our door and kneel and close our eyes, just feel the presence of the Lord and utter your prayer phrase. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing.  Oh pray na habang binabasa tong blog ko :-)

God Bless us everyone.  May each of us have some reflection of God's Love this coming Holy Week.

Inagahan ko na ang sa akin, kasi I will be going to USS and then to KL next week.
