Lock it up!.. And throw away the key!

People sometimes do unkind things, and that can really hurt. But I can wipe away the pain that you feel. I can take your sadness, bitterness, and anger, and all bad feelings away. I can lock them up in a closet and help throw away the key.



You may think that's not fair. Here someone did something bad to you, and now you're just supposed to forget it? Well, I know you can't exactly forget it, but you can lock it up where it won't spill over into your heart and your mind, making you so miserable.



I want to make it all better; I want to lock it up. But you'll have to be the one to throw away the key. You'll have to be the one to decide that you want to move on and that you want to get happy again. You'll have to trust Me to work in the lives of whoever blew it, and teach them what they need to know. Can you do that? Okay, then, let's move on. Let's go forward!



Who Cares? from Jesus with LOVE :)

MISSING YOU IYA CAROL T.T

Last night my Achie Ann texted me, she said: "namimiss ko si iya", I replied: "wag ka nga naiiyak ako eh na aalala ko nanaman siya" we both miss Iya Carol. Iya means Tita hehe :)

Kanina pag gising ko pumasok sa mind ko si Iya Carol, na alala ko yung year 2008 nasa hospital ako siya nag alaga sakin, asaran pa kami dahil after ko ma admit siya naman sumunod. hehe :) Hindi ko napigilan sarili ko kanina, habang naliligo ako bigla na lang ako naiyak dahil na aalala ko yung nasa kabaong na siya, that was my first time na makakita na isa sa mga close kong relatives nasa loob na ng kabaong iyak ako ng iyak kanina, kinausap ko ang Lord sabi ko; "Lord I really missed her so much", then I cried again.

Na mimiss ko lang si Iya ng super ass inn hehehe :) promise haha :p pero may na alala ako na gustong mangyari ni Iya before siya mawala sa mundo, maibahagi niya yung Word of GOD, and she did it. Pero hindi lang nakinig at naniwala sakanya lubos siyang nasaktan at lagi niyang sinasabi sa tuwing nagkikita kami before nung buhay pa siya malamang haha :p "HINDI KO NA KAYA PAGOD NA KO". Na alala ko ang lahat yan kanina lang, then I realized natupad na yung gusto ng Iya ko.

Ang tanging hiling niya sa DIOS makakilala ang kanyang mga anak at asawa kay LORD. Alam niyo guys, God answered her prayer. Umaatend na sa church yung Uncle Toto ko, insan Harley and Katrin, and meron na din pong Bible study sakanila sila pa ang nag request nun. Wow! Grabeh, we just have to trust and believe in Him.

Sabi nga sa verse Ps.37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Yan ang ginawa ng Tita ko, hindi siya tumigil sa pag pr-PRAY. I know that my aunty carol is happy super happy syempre kapiling na niya si LORD eh.

I love you Iya Carol...

Right believing leads to right living :)
ajah!!!

LET'S PLAY A LITTLE CHESS

Let’s play a little chess. You’re down to your last piece. Last one
standing is the king. You are trapped in a corner and have nowhere
else to go. Make one move and you’re dead. Checkmate! Next thing
left to do is to give up and let your opponent topple your king. Next
thing you know, it’s game over.
Good thing that although this applies in a chess match, it’s
never the case in our life with Christ. The big difference is this:---Grace.

While there’d be times when our wrong moves can cause us
to be caught in seemingly “no-way-out” situations, I can boldly say
that with Christ, there’s no such thing as game over.
For when all the odds are against us—when even a step forward
or backward, or even sideward can spell the end—remember that
there is one more option left: to look up! There you’d find God
ready and willing to hand you His grace.
So if there’d be times when you feel like your king is trapped
and about to be downed by a checkmate,
don’t choose to concede. Look to the
King of kings. You just got found.
You’ve got grace. How would you
like to exchange your game over
for a start over?
Are you lost, in the middle of nowhere in your life, and can’t seem to
find your way to back to the track that will lead you to God? You feel
sorry for a sin but can’t seem to overcome it. As a result your heart
has gotten stone-cold. You lost the fire.
Or are you in the middle of a big mess because you’ve made
wrong choices and are now struggling to pick yourself up? Guilt
has struck. Consequences left and right hit hard and knocked you
down. There seems to be no way out.
Or are you in the middle of a catastrophe? Your grades flunked
because you partied instead of studied. Or you just broke up with
your boyfriend or girlfriend and it’s your fault. Your life has just
reached rock-bottom.
The end seems near for you.
Don’t give up just yet. Hold on for just a moment. Just as God
said to Paul, so is He telling you right now: His grace is all you need.
His grace is enough, it is sufficient.

No sin, no failure, no mistake is ever too big to crowd out the
grace of God. “For there is nothing we can do to make God love us
less.” No problem is ever too big for God to fix. And nothing is ever
too difficult for Him.
God is not giving up on you. So don’t give up on Him. Through
God’s grace, a clean slate is up for grabs. A fresh start is yours for the
taking. Get up and get moving. Begin again now.
The second chance begins when you
invite Him to take the driver’s seat
again. The first step to recovery is
to let Him have the steering wheel.
It’s time to get back on track.

Prayer:
Lord, today I realized that my stubbornness has led me to
losing my way. I was careless and I thought less. My wrong
choices resulted in a pile of bad consequences. That’s why
today, Lord, I receive Your grace. I long for a clean slate
and a new beginning. I am turning over my life once again
to You and humbly surrender.Jesus, here I am, in all
humility confessing once again that You are the Lord of my
life and of everything I have. From this day onward, it will
not be my will, but Yours be done in my life.

God bless your heart.

my soon to be Better Half

I once put down my pen to end the pain,
of yesterday's tragedy I nearly got insane.
But here i am again doing a blot on my paper,
to write a poem for my soon to be forever.:D

How I always pray for you only God knows,
to take care of you wherever you will go,
to guide you in every decision that you will make,
and to prepare you in every aspect, whatever it takes.

I always think of you in every minute that I have,
how do you look like? Or how many children we'll have?
I also think on how happy will I be with you?
Or how will you call my name and say "I love you."

I learned how to reserve a space for you,
here in my heart there's no more room for # 2.
It makes me happy just to think of you,
for I am very sure that you are thinking of me too.

It was such a nice feeling knowing that you're doing the same,
so I try to get more serious and stop playing games,
I am getting excited when the day comes that God meets our ways,
I will do my best to be ready, come what may.

So I hope that while you are reading this you'll know how much I loved thee,
for you are the only person that I wanted to be always beside me,
to my Better Half, my God's Will, my Answered Prayer
I will always love you forever and ever. :D

TURNING YOURSELF IN

When we consider love on a human level, we may fear others may not love us if they knew the person we really are deep inside. That is bondage, we can neither feel completely loved nor freely love others. Once we experience Jesus' love, however, we know what it is like to live in freedom. Jesus knows everything about us, the good and the bad, yet He loves us entirely. We are free to be honest with Him about who we are and who we are not. His love for us will not change.

♥ GOD IS CRAZY ABOUT YOU ♥

There are many reasons God saves you, to bring glory to Himself, to appease his justice, to demonstrate his sovereignty. But one of the sweetest reasons God saved you is because He is fond of you. He likes having you around. He thinks you are the best thing to come down the pike in quite a while...

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk He'll listen, He can live anywhere in the universe and He chose your HEART.

Face it, friend He's crazy about you!

God loves you so much!!!

WELL, WHO AM I? ♥

I JUST WANT TO SHARE THIS TO YOU GUYS, I'M SO BLESSED TO BE PART OF OLIVARES FAMILY. EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL NOT GIVE US A TRIALS THAT WE CAN'T MAKE IT.

"I'M SO THANKFUL TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE JOSE OLIVARES SR.,MOTHER LIKE ELIZABETH OLIVARES, BROTHERS JOSE OLIVARES JR., MICHAEL OLIVARES, REYNALDO OLIVARES,AND SISTERS MARY ANN OLIVARES SY, MARY JANE OLIVARES GAFFUD."

Maraming pagsubok na dumarating sa buhay pero sa amin bagyo ang dumarating, punong-puno ng pag papala at syempre may bagyo din na punung-puno ng PAGSUBOK. I'm so thankful to be part of this family sa parents ko na masayahin puro kalokohan, kahit minsan may shooting sa bahay "away" yun kasi tawag ko hehehe... Nagiging maaus namn ang lahat. Ang buhay ay tumatakbo parang roller coaster lang may UPs and Downs, minsan napapagod nako sa nangyayari sa life ko sa family, friends etc., But one time naisip ko napakapalad ko pala, dahil may family ako na pwede kong takbuhan sa oras ng crisis sa buhay. Naisip ko din yung ibang bata, walang pamilya, iniwan sila. Pero ako sumusuko sa simpleng pagsubok lang. Ouch sakin yun pero, I cried and ask God to comfort me. T.T And now God changed me, every time na makikita kong may shooting sa house SMILE :) lang ako dahil no need na magalit, mainis,maasar sa nangyayari. I always think positive because God has a purpose kung bakit yun nangyayari at kung bakit ako nilagay sa Olivares Family. I always thank God for everything, He allowed it to happen just to learn something. I thank God because He open my eyes, my heart and He gives me wisdom to understand everything. 2cor.5:17

I LOVE MY DAD, MOM, BROTHERS, AND SISTERS.

ON GUARD

ON GUARD
“above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life”
Prov.4:23

The Bible describes the heart as the place where decisions are made. We may think it is our mind that makes the decisions, but the values we hold in our heart determine our choices. The world encourages us to develop our minds, the center of our intellect. Some people train their brains to do amazing things. They may memorize volumes and grasp profound concepts, but sadly, people often neglect their hearts. Some people have high IQs but do not have good hearts.

According to the Bible, the heart includes emotions and will. Your heart represents who you really are. Some of the world’s smartest people have destroyed themselves by their own bad decisions. Although they had intelligence, they never cultivated God’s values. Smart people without morals or integrity are dangerous people.

The world values intelligence but intelligence comes much more easily than good character. If you want your life to be filled with the good thing God wants for you, don’t neglect your heart. In your heart is where the great battles and decisions of life are won or lost. Your problem may not that you don’t have enough knowledge it may be that your heart is not inclined to do what you already know to do! Guard your heart so you are always ready to do what you know is right. Be sure to spend at least as much time developing your heart as you spend developing your mind.


God bless!

POWER, NOT TALK

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power."

Christians often talk and sing about the powerful God we serve. Yet when we come up against challenges to our faith, we start to backpedal furiously: "of course, God can do anything He wants, but not in my life. I'm no spiritual giant. I'm just an average run-of-the-mill person."
We need to REREAD the BIBLE! It's filled with accounts of ordinary men and women whom God empowered to do great things! Joshua was an ex-slave who defeated every army he faced. Esther showed incredible bravery, putting her life on the hostile pagan priest by calling down fire from heaven. Paul was stoned almost to death; then he got up, brushed himself off, and headed right back into town!

Were these all unusually rugged people, gifted with supernatural bravery and endurance? Not at all. They were ordinary men and woman whose strength came from God. God is not intimidated by anyone or anything. His power is more than enough to handle any problem you will ever face. So if this same God who defeated menacing armies and destroyed entire cities now lives within you, there is no reason your life should not also reflect his awesome power. You don't need to be intimidated by those who oppose your Christianity. Don't let anyone or anything frighten you out of obeying God. When God calls you to follow him, he empower you to accomplish his desires.

Walk closely with almighty God, and let His power shine through your life. Don't trust in your strength, but in the infinite power of the one who lives within you. Don't just talk about the power of God; experience it!

POWER

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
(1cor. 1:18)

Don’t be surprised when not everyone is as exalted about the gospel as you are! As you enjoy the thrill of walking with Jesus, you may be surprised when others choose not to experience God in the same exciting way that you do. Paul understood that those who approach Christianity with skepticism will not find any power in it. Such people consider the gospel foolishness. On the other hand, those who believe the good news know firsthand the power of God that changes lives.

Why is it some people never experience God’s activity in their lives? Their lack of faith prevents them from seeing him at work. Ultimately, their rejection of the truth costs them their lives. However, those who approach God with faith see him at work, and they experience his mighty power.

The Bible says some people will refuse to accept the truth of the cross. To nonbelievers, the Christian message is nonsense; therefore it holds no power for them. They won’t understand how anyone could accept it. They may even ridicule you for believing it. The Bible says these people are doomed to perish . don’t ever stop sharing the good news simply because some reject it. There will be those who accept the truth of Christ, and you will see them experience God at work in their lives in the same powerful way he has worked in yours.

Shalom!

SCRUTINIZED

"at this , the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent."
-Daniel 6:4

What would happen if your enemies set out to find every damaging piece of information they could about you? what if they followed you to see where you spent your time? what if they tapped your phone and eavesdropped on your conversations? what if they interviewed your classmates or coworkers, looking for someone with some dirt on you? would they come up with embarrassing information?

that's what Daniel's enemies tried to do. They desperately wanted to dig up some incriminating evidence on him to make him lose his job. Daniel had nothing to fear, the worst thing they could come up with was that he PRAYED a lot!

There is incredible freedom in living a clean life. It eliminates the need to keep secrets or to worry about what might be exposed. it removes the vice grip that guilt can hold on your conscience. perhaps you have already done things that, if revealed, would cause you shame. ALTHOUGH YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE PAST, YOU CAN START FRESH TODAY. ask God to forgive your past sins and help you to begin a life of absolute integrity. each time you face a questionable decision, ask yourself this question:
"would i be ashamed if what I'm about to do were made public?" if you choose to live pure life, you will enjoy the tremendous freedom that comes with it.


God bless us!!!

don't change the world

Don't change the world.... Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money. Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?” The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself. There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story: “To make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.” TO GOD BE THE GLORY(",)

Foot prints

FOOTPRINTS one night i dreamed a dream, i was walking along the beach with my Lord. across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life, for each scene, i noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. one belonging to me and one to my Lord, when the last scene of my life shot before me, i looked back at the footprints in the sand and to my surprise, i noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints. i realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. this always bothered me, and i questioned the Lord about my dilemma, "Lord, you told me when i decided to follow you, you would walk and talk with me all the way. but i'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints, i just don't understand why, when i needed you most you leave me" he whispered,"my precious child, i love you and will never leave you never, ever, during your trials and testings, when you saw only one set of footprints it was then that i carried you." -God is always there for us..

Heb.13:5 stay blessed!!!
