Dream House

My husband and I are
planning to buy or to build a house. We are distraught about the cost of buying
or constructing a new house and filling it (furniture, appliances, etc). We
have many opinions from our relatives and friends and we even surveyed a low
cost housing in our near municipality. What struck me is one of our Aunts
opinion, she told us to ask God for wisdom and direction in our decision
making.
On that night, I asked
God what He wants for us. I am amazed when He answered me, He said, “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your
home, and spare no expense!” (Isaiah 54:2, NLT). His
answer is very clear. He wants us to build a new house and to spend without
regarding the cost. And that same night, I received the proposed floor plan of
our house from an architect friend.

| The Proposed Floor Plan |
When I look Isaiah 54 in The Message (MSG)
translation, it says, “Make
your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, drive the tent
pegs deep. You’re going to
need lots of elbow room for your growing family.” I am
married with 1 (one) child but I’m still praying for an addition to our family
but when I read this word in The Message translation it is now clear to me why
God wants us to enlarge our house and build an addition it’s because of our
growing family. I’m praying and hoping that I will be pregnant with our second
child this year.
Let’s pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your word, for answering us
when we are in doubt and when we need answers. Thank you for being true to your
word and promises. Father, I know that these promises will come to pass in your
perfect timing. Right now, I am entrusting all our plans and cares in your
hands. I love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Something Big Lyrics
Something
Big
By:
John Waller
I wanna see something I've not seen
Something so big
I wanna be a part of something great
Greater than me
It's time to dream big dreams
To see Your vision
Become reality
‘Cause it’s for You, by You, those who
Love You wanna do
Something so big
It’s destined to fail without You, Lord
It’s gonna fail without You, Lord
Something so great
It takes a miracle to do
We, Your children
Wanna do something big for You
We, yes, we are gonna sing a brand new song
Something so strong
We will be the sound that wakes the dawn
Something so loud
It’s time for breaking through
‘Cause there are no limits
For he who holds the truth
When it’s for You, and by You, and those who
Love You wanna do
Something bigger, something greater
For the glory of Your splendor
Something bigger, something greater
Tell the story of Your wondrous love
Your wondrous love
Those who love You wanna do
As long as we live, let us do something so big for You
Something so big
I wanna be a part of something great
Greater than me
It's time to dream big dreams
To see Your vision
Become reality
‘Cause it’s for You, by You, those who
Love You wanna do
Something so big
It’s destined to fail without You, Lord
It’s gonna fail without You, Lord
Something so great
It takes a miracle to do
We, Your children
Wanna do something big for You
We, yes, we are gonna sing a brand new song
Something so strong
We will be the sound that wakes the dawn
Something so loud
It’s time for breaking through
‘Cause there are no limits
For he who holds the truth
When it’s for You, and by You, and those who
Love You wanna do
Something bigger, something greater
For the glory of Your splendor
Something bigger, something greater
Tell the story of Your wondrous love
Your wondrous love
Those who love You wanna do
As long as we live, let us do something so big for You

Be Still, and know that He is God
Hello, guys! Missed me? Hehehe! It’s
been almost 3 months since the last time I posted an entry. I’ll try to catch
up with you, guys.
Anyway, we know that we only have less
than two (2) months before the year 2012 ends, right? Maybe some of us here
have already received their exceptional harvest and some are still waiting for
theirs to come. Like you, I’m still waiting for mine though most of them were are already given by our Heavenly
Father.
To those who are still waiting for
their exceptional harvest, I would like to remind and encourage you from this
passage. God says in Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God!”
God wants us to remain calm and
patient in waiting for our exceptional harvest and He also wants us to know
that He is God. Amen?
Now, I have a question, when we say
“God” what comes to your mind? Father of Jesus Christ? Creator of Heaven and
Earth? And etc. Sometimes, we limit God on how we know Him. Right? Don’t worry,
I’m also like that. I also have a little knowledge about Him. While I’m surfing
the net about the other names and characteristics of our Almighty God, I am
amazed with the results. I pray that His names may give you revelation of who
He really is.
As we wait for our exceptional harvest
before the year ends, let us hold on and depend to our God. All He wants us to
do is to “Be still, and know that He is God”.
Let’s pray.
Heavenly Father, you are more than
enough to us and your presence is already an exceptional harvest for those who
seek you. As the year ends, we hold on and we put our expectations only to you
because we know that you are more than able to do exceedingly abundantly above
all that we could ask or think and the best is yet to come. Thank you. In
Jesus’ name. Amen!
My Prayer
November 1, 2012
My
prayer when I’m encouraging myself:
Heavenly
Father, I know that you know what you are doing and you already planned out
everything for my life. Though I do not see anything that is happening around
me, I believe that you are working on my background. Remember, Dad that you
promised me a rich and satisfying life and you will not leave me until you have
finished giving me everything you have promised me. Thank you and I love you.
In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Highly Favored by the Most High
Last night, while my boyfriend and I have this usual conversation, I told him that I’m not a teacher’s favorite or a teacher’s pet when I was studying. If my teacher has a favorite student, it would always be my friend. Now that I’m already working, it’s also the same.
When I went to bed to sleep, God spoke to me. He said, “Even though you are not crowd’s favorite, you are highly favored by the Most High God.”
I was stunned to this truth. Do you know what does it mean? If God’s favor is with you, the people around you can’t help their selves not to help you. What’s more? We know how fickle minded the people are—today they like us, tomorrow they hate us—but our God is not like that, He fulfills what He promises.
If you feel that you are the least favorite of the people around you and it seem it’s impossible for them to help you, always remember that you are highly favored by the Most High God.

My Little Rebuker
 |
| She just turned 3 last August 7... |
I had a funny yet rebuking moment with my niece two nights ago. I was about to have my devotion or quiet time with God when it happened.
I entered our room knowing that no one was there but when I turned on the light, my niece is on the bed. I grabbed my devotional book (Daily Bread), my bible, my journal and pouch and headed in my place. Little did I know that the little one is observing me. I prayed a very very short prayer and started reading my bible. Then, I heard her saying…
Ayelle: tita, pray ka muna bago ka mag-basa. (Aunt, pray before you read)
Me: nag-pray na ako (I prayed already)
Ayelle: wala man akong narinig (I did not hear anything)
***I assumed that she wants me to hear praying in tongues because she’s used to hear me pray in that language
Me: nag-pray na ako. Eh ikaw, nag-pray ka na? (I prayed already. How about you?)
Ayelle: may ilaw eh… (there’s a light)
Me: pikit mo mga mata mo at pray ka na (close your eyes then pray)
***Her mom turned the lights off and she started praying.
Sometimes, God uses small people to talk to us and to convict us. To tell you the truth, this is not the first time it happened. She always rebukes all of us. I believe that God will use my niece mightily and powerfully in the future because He’s already using her to rebuke us.
***My niece is also my prayer partner and intercessor. If I want something, I will ask her to pray for me. *wink*

It's UP to US!
While I’m washing the dishes last night, I heard my cousin telling his disciples about the scripture in John 10:27, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” I want to butt in to their conversation but I know the Holy Spirit wants me to learn something from that scripture.
We know that human beings think too much and we hear a lot of voices in our head. Some of the voices and thoughts are not from God. Then if we are His sheep and we know His voice, why are we still doing the things that hurt God most? The answer is because of our “freewill”. He gave us freewill to do the things we want to do even though He knows that He will get hurt from the outcome of our decision.
Now, it’s up to us on which voice we will obey. I pray that the Holy Spirit will give us wisdom and discernment when making a decision so that we won’t blame God and ourselves on the outcome.
