 February 14- 6:45am, woke up with a frown on my face.."Shucks,, It's Valentines day" I used to enjoy this time of the year, and yes I love giving surprises. I'M A MAJOR FAN OF VALENTINES DAY.." I love flowers, chocolates and cakes. But It's different this year cause I'm single. It took me like couple of hours before I finally decided to let go of the "valentine panic attack" hehe,I didn't want to go out of the house, cause I might start envying the people with flowers, or people celebrating this day with their special someones. Then I started praying. "God,I know your love is enough, and I should be grateful that I could spend this day with you. You are the true giver of Love. Please fill up the emptiness in my heart and teach me to be contented with the love that you have showered upon me. I love you Lord, YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME. After I prayed, I received the most incredible gift from God..... "JOY"
So here's how my day went.. 1. Went to school and hugged my students! 2. Went home and took a nap 3. Woke up about 3pm and started dressing up because I'm going on a date,, 4. went to Jollibee east ave and decided to take a picture..

It was very relaxing and I got to talk to "ate"( the one who's cleaning my face. )I found out that she was a christian! wuhoo!! That was an amazing sharing time. Thank you Lord.
8. After facial, we met up with Esther, an awesome friend of ours. (She's really adorable) and we started walking around Megamall, trying to check out good restos and we found this! (it took us about half an hour before we found this place, so imagine our crankiness,, wahahha,, or maybe I'm the only cranky girl among the group hehe,, I HATE IT WHEN I'M HUNGRY, MY BODY SHUTSDOWN, MY BRAINS DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND MY CRANKYNES IS JUST SCARY..

The End.... ;)-anj
"What we have lost, God will restore!"
 Ephesians 2:4 ..But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, it is by grace that you have been saved.
Who am I Lord that you are so mindful of me? I've done awful things in your sight but still you remained faithful. How come you love me this much? Do I deserve this? not that I'm complaining my King, but because I'm in awe of your unconditional love. I remembered the time when I refused to follow your will. My rebellious heart kept on searching for the love that wil complete me. But no matter how I try to fix the puzzles of love I just can't seem to understand it. You repeatedly asked me to surrender my heart but I turned my back on you. I made my own pathway of love and I was happy. But Little did I know that It was just temporary. The pathway became a pit of darkness, loneliness and brokeness. You reached your hand towards me but still I refused to hold on to you. I tried climbing up, fixing my life, forcing things to be ok but my King.... I failed..... In my weakness, there you stood up from your Throne, knelt down and grabbed me with your loving arms. That's the only time that I finally understood your grace that saved me from destruction. My King, listen to my heart saying.... I love you... please forgive me, make me your princess again.. This time I'll let you rule over me because now I SURRENDER.-anj My heart, your Home Come and make my heart your home Come and be everything I am and all I know search me through and through Until my heart becomes a home for you A home for you A home for you Let everything I do Open up a door for you to come through Then my heart would be a place where you wanna be
Hi Lord, Its been awhile.. I feel really weak now,, but then I know that your love is more than enough to fill me up. I haven't been really faithful to you and my heart is just full of guilt and shame. I don't know what to say, and Im really lost in words. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry.. I'm sorry..' these are the words that kept repeating in my heart. My King, please hear my heart crying out for you. No one can replace you, so please come in to my heart and let it beat again for you. Make my heart wise that I may walk in your light. Take away all the distractions that kept on feeding the needs of my flesh. There's nothing I desire but you. Please my King, accept my heart. Cause me to love you more. Cause me to be intimate with you. Cause me to be inlove with you. I love you.... please make me yours forever. -your princess You are for me - Kari Jobe So Faithful So constant so loving and so true so powerful in all you do You fill me You see me You know my every move You love for me to sing to you I know that you are for me I know that you are for me I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness and I know that you have come down even if to write upon my heart to remind me of who you are So patient So gracious so merciful and true So wonderful in all you do you fill me You see me You know my every move You love for me to sing to you
I'm inlove with my Creator My heart beats for Him I long for His presence I want to feel His Heavenly Embrace I want to experience His sweet love He is my Love, my Life, my Breath Lord, just take my heart, my soul and my everything, it's all yours. God I will never exchange this kind of love from the temporary satisfaction of this world. Let your love consume me My King, I just want you,, and nothing else Deeply in love-darlene In my life, you heard me say I love you HOw do I show you it's true In my heart, I long for more of you I've fallen deeply in love with you You have stolen my heart I'm captivated by you Never will you and I part I've fallen deeply in love with you You and I together forever nothing can stand in the way my love for you grows stronger each new day I've fallen deeply in love with you
I've been reading 2Chronicles chapter 20 for how many days now. I'm really amazed on how God showed His strength and His power. Jehoshaphat knew God is a merciful God. He knew very well that God will rescue them, but of course he has no idea how God will do it. Here, I've seen so much faith, they went on marching, praising God and expecting that they will defeat the vast army with their own hands, but God did all the work, He did it because He saw how the people humbled themselves before Him. God saw their desperation. God knew that He was the only hope of His people. I can just imagine v23, when the enemies were really confused and ended up killing each other. Wow! That's amazing! Do you know that God can do that in our lives? Even if we are in the midst of temptations, confusions, The blood of Christ is more than enough to destroy the enemies plan. We have to know that the battle is not ours. We have to set our eyes on our Savior and strongly believe that we have won and the victory is ours forever!! GOD IS POWERFUL! HE WILL SAVE US NO MATTER WHAT! God gave me this song while I was meditating on this chapter. I pray that through this song He will remind you of His power and that no one can ever defeat Him- blessings!-anj Battle- Anj When I'm weak You made me strong When I'm down You raised me up When I failed You said "I'll be great" I'll be great For the battle is yours For the battle is yours And by your Power and Majesty The enemy fails
Life is like a rollercoaster. Sometimes you're up, and sometimes you're way way down. Life for me wasn't as easy as 123. My dad left us when I was very young but I'm blessed because my mom took care of us. I grew up in a loving church where all the pastors became my "Spiritual Dad". They always ask me, "how are you doing Gel?, Is everything ok?, do you need anything?, and I guess these are the questions that kept me hanging on. I knew somehow that God gave these pastors to take care of me and my sister. They're such a blessing to my family. At first, I thought that life would be great because of these people who were praying for us, but as I mature, I realized that I needed a real father who would always be there. A father who would provide for our family. A father who would teach me how to ride a bike, a father who would teach me how to swim, play basketball, or play chess. There's so much longing in my heart. There were nights that I'd pray and ask God to make my family whole again. But God was really silent. Before my dad left us, he drove us to school, and I wouldn't forget these words that came out from his mouth "remember, I love you". It was hard for me to believe those words when he left us. How could he say those precious words? What made him decide to leave such a happy family? If he loves me, then why leave?.. these are the questions that came through my mind. But I'm glad because my mom, taught us to love and respect my dad inspite of all the flaws. I was never mad at my dad. Though there were times that I'd blame him for what's happening in my life but I was never mad at him. It took me years to finally accept that we're a broken family. There were nights that I would cry silently, so that my mom won't hear me. But you see, these are nights that God assured me of His love. He'd always tell me, "I'm your Father, I never left you, and I'll never will. Even if I'm silent, I was just right there beside you, holding your hands" I was really amazed of God's love. He really took care of us. There were days that we don't have any food to eat, but God surprised us with boxes of food and clothes. There were days that we don't have money for my tuition fee, but after we prayed for it, God will use people to bless us. Amazing Right? I have an Awesome God. We have an Awesome Lord. People may leave us, but God will remain faithful. He will never leave us nor forsake us because He loves us. The song is about knowing and trusting God's faithfulness. Hope you like it! Blessings! - Anj Awesome God - Anj Through the darkness Through our sadness Through our weakness You are Faithful Through our brokeness Through our hopelessness Through the darkness You are an Awesome God An Awesome Lord You love us so You cleanse us more and more You are faithful You are faithful You are faithful Lord
I had my Itouch synced with my friend's ITUNES. I was extremely excited to check all the worship songs. There were tons of beautiful songs that really made me cry. These are songs that was made out of love and passion for God. Imagine, in every circumstances in life, it may be good or bad, You can still see God's goodness. I love songs has deep meaning, or deep longing for God's presence. I love imagining how the composers came up with such good songs. I want to be like them. My dream is to have my own album full of heavenly songs. Songs that will inspire people who are lost and broken hearted. Songs that will influence my generation. Songs that could reach through the ends of the earth. And songs full of God's anointing. I want God to give me songs that is life changing. Sounds impossible? nah! I have a BIG GOD. That's why I dream "BIG". I'm His princess, and He is my King, can He grant the desires of my heart? YES HE CAN! I'll keep singing... and pursue my destiny that God has planned for me. Blessings!-anj I'd like to share this song with you guys. It was originally sung by Audra Lynn of IHOP. Truly that Without God, Life is absolutely Nothing. Without you Without you I have nothing, Without you life is gone Without you I have nothing but this broken words and lifeless melody Lead me to this empty song Will you be the words I sing Will you be my melody Will you be the song that I sing and the life within me Will you be my everything.
Few months ago I felt that i'm really losing my grip from God's hands. I felt that I was nothing and that I don't deserve this kind of life. I know it in my heart that these are just trials that I have to overcome, but I came to a point of giving up. There are nights that I would just cry and beg for Jesus to take away all the hurts because it's really killing me. It feels like my heart is full of anger, bitterness, hatred, sadness, name it! It feels so heavy. Sometimes there would be no words spoken because of so much hurt. Only fountain of tears. Imagine what I have to go through. But you see my story didn't end there. During my darkest season, my King picked me up and held me close to Him. He took my heart, and he told me, He would take care of it, and that I should just trust Him. I said "Father, you don't deserve this kind of heart, it so broken, and It has nothing but trash. He clearly told me, "My princess, this is the heart that I want. A broken heart. You see I can make you whole again, surrender your heart and you'll experience my love that will consume you." At that moment, I have nothing, and I just gave up the fight, I surrendered my broken heart to my King, and suddenly I felt the peace, joy and contentment in His presence. Nothing can beat that. I felt that God took over and wrapped me with His loving arms. It was never easy, but I know I'm taking baby steps to a victorious life. Surrendering to God doesn't mean that you lost the battle. Surrendering all your rights, your pains, your worries, and your situations to God means you're finally giving Him the chance to love you. And man! Words are not enough to describe how God took care of me. It was just so awesome! It was extravagant! It was the best. Start surrendering and you'll be amazed of His faithfulness and love. Here's a song that I've been listening to the whole day,I hope it will inspire you. If I'm not wrong, I think it was wriiten by Desperation Band. Sorry for the poor video recording, I just want to share this song to you guys! Blessings-anj Lyrics: Amazed You dance over me while I am unaware You sing all around But I never hear a sound Lord I'm amazed by you Lord, I'm amazed by you Lord, I'm amazed by you How you love me How wide, How deep, How great, is your love for me
