Charice’s New Single – A Note to God

Very timing indeed, I had been experiencing challenges in my spiritual life lately.  God doesn’t want our communication only to be one sided, he’s asking me to learn how to listen to him… not only on Sundays.. he wants it daily. So, I went back to praying the rosary daily, and one of my intentions is to learn to love praying it more frequently and constantly, no matter what.  I usually stop doing it before when challenges come my way.  I’ve always thought that I should only pray it if and when I am in a good mood and disposition same with my bible reading habits.  I didn’t know till now that subconsciously, I had been selfish while praying, I kept on asking for good things for myself and my loved ones but I forgot to ask the Lord what makes him happy.  It had always been prayers for my own benefits. I still have a lot of things to ponder on and to improve but I will surely start writing my notes to God and listen to him as well, one day at a time.

Ahhh … I’m back after … soooo long!

Actually I haven’t really gone offline, I just had been more active at posting my thoughts through Twitter and Facebook

Twitter
and Plurk have been very popular lately, they made it easier for people to share their thoughts, moods (both positive and negative) to the whole World Wide Web. These Web 2.0 sites are a must for people on the go!

The  past few months had been hectic… in all aspect.

I had the need to realign some stuff.

Will try to blog again soon… I’ve got a lot to share!

love,

STOP, PAUSE AND LISTEN

STOP, PAUSE AND LISTEN

Sometimes I need to remind myself of these 3 powerful words.  I tend to always be on the PLAY mode in LIFE most of the time that I refrain myself from STOPPING or PAUSING for awhile to listen to myself.

Today, my body complained and I don’t have any choice but to STOP. Although my mind is fighting with what ever urgency my body has made when it did it’s emergency signal but I eventually succumbed to its request or else I know I’ll do it sooner anyway.

I know I have to remind myself that I am not a MACHINE and that I have to enjoy life as much as I can but be persevering as well with my aspirations with life.  When work does not make me happy or is getting monotonous, my body is usually the first one to remind me. 

I still have a lot of plans in my life that I want to achieve with God’s blessings, but it’s the process of achieving it that matters most anyway.  For as long as I am happy and hopefully making others happy then that’s fine with me. These are the stuff I know that are nurturing my soul.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYBODY! SHARE THE LOVE =)
