challenged

Last night, the Lord is telling me to do something. I asked, "Lord, how?" I continued to reason out about this and that. But He keeps on telling me, "faith, don. Just have faith in Me. Trust Me, I'll take care of everything." I've been hard-headed. He keeps whispering, "faith". "you have a little faith, and you even doubt it.", He added. I cried, I wanted to say "yes, Lord. I will." But the statement has been full of 'buts'. I asked for more confirmations and a promise to hold. [kapal pa talaga ng mukha ko]
By morning, I received a text message saying "For whatever is happening in your life. Don't preoccupy yourself with the question WHY? But rather ponder more on to WHERE these events bring you...Once you get to WHERE God wants you to be, then you'll know WHY." In my case, it's not WHY, it's HOW. But either way, it's the same issue. I was drowned by my thoughts--thoughts of my incapabilities, that i can't do it.
But eventually I got through it by God's grace. He gave me the 'signs' [of confirmations] and i became so excited and joyful to embrace it. Yes, I responded to it, being reminded with so many things and having my confidence in  Him.

David

David has been known as the boy who fought and killed the giant Goliath. He was a psalmist. He was the man after God's own heart.♥ more about David... 1 Samuel 16:18  says, "... Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite  [David] , who is skillful in playing , a man of valor , a man of war , prudent in speech , and a man of good presence , and the Lord is with him . " (ESV) He is skillful in playing the lyre. He [i guess] used to play the lyre as he sings his songs to the Lord. He is a man of valor.  He is courageous in facing every battle and obstacle.  "Don't worry about this Philistine," David told Saul. "I'll go fight him!"  1 Samuel 17:32 (NLT)  He is very bold in proclaiming who God is.   "..."... And everyone assembled here will know that the L ord  rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the L ord  's battle, and he will give you to us!""  1 Samuel 17:47 (NLT) He is a man of ...

BIKE

Image
I used to ride a bike when I was just a kid. I enjoyed driving along the streets within the neighborhood, carrying a lot of candies inside the basket attached in front of my bike. As we transferred to a village in the city, I wasn't able to ride the same bike again. I had the bigger one. Riding it was a bit difficult, didn't know how to balance at that time. I got bruised and got wounded as part of learning to ride the real bike (i used to have the bike which has two tiny wheels at the back). And as I learned how to balance in riding the bigger one, I had a great time biking around the village with my friends in the neighborhood. I even crossed to another village through that. I also tried some stunts that added more bruises and wounds to my legs and knees. But I never stopped. I just loved it together with the risks/adventures. Having fun with my bike ended when it was stolen as we got out of town for a vacation. Years passed when it was finally replaced with a mountain bike....
