Staying at home ca also be educational. Because the kid are off to school so I have nothing left to do but surf online. That’s what I have been doing for 3 straight days already. There are a lot of things that I discovered and learned. There are new terms, now technology and a lot more new things. One new interesting thing I learned today is about credit cards for those who like to travel. There is a credit card that s sponsored by airlines. So if you like to fly, then you can have this airline credit card. If you want airline credit cards article, so you can learn more bout it, then you just have to Google, Bing, and Yahoo search it. It is always fun to learn something new each day. There is never an end to learning. Learning is not just for kids I realized. For my 3 days off from work, I really learned a lot. Some scary, some amazing, some lovely and some gross. It’s never too late to learn, and I don’t consider my self a square for not being able to know these things until now.

I am thinking of a good fallback in case I decide to resign from my job. Working in a call center is never easy. No matter what your position is. I don’t take calls, but still there are a lot of deliverables to meet. You don’t have any idea of how hard my job is. So I don’t dream of being here forever. I wanted to have my own business one day. I wanted to be an Event Organizer or a Wedding Planner. Weddings are always special to me. I know how it feels when you prepare for a wedding. Been there, done that. So I can totally relate to future brides. The anxiety you get while preparing for your big day. You worry about budget. As much as possible you want to have a bargain of almost everything. But you get into a dilemma between cheap and good quality. You worry about where to get cheap wedding invitations, tokens, flowers, choir, band and so many more. Not just weddings. You think about how worried those young debutants are when their 18th birthday is on its way. A lot of events happen in a person’s life and my passion is to be part of it and feel the fulfillment to see those happy, contended faces at the end of the day.

There will always come a time in your life when you can’t help it but think about the future. You can’t stop it but most of the time, you always worry. I had my share of those moments. I always get scared thinking of how secure my kid’s future will be. One common thing that runs to our minds is to save. Save for rainy days as the saying goes. I heard of CD or certificate of deposit offered by banks, brokers and credit unions that are one of the best risk free ways to invest your money. I wanted to know more about it and check if I can find the best cd rates is. But while I am still learning about it, I am also looking for some ways to save in my own little way. I never am worried about future before until I look at how fast my kids are growing. I get concerned most especially thinking of sending them to college which is very expensive. But these moments don’t happen always because I always live one day at a time. I most of the time do not worry about the future and let the future take care of itself. Well, it works for me…

When God says NO to your prayers, will you still praise him?  After all those tears, the fist clenched hand ached from pleading, the droopy knees from kneeling, the aching arms from reaching.  And God says “NO”.  There will silent cries that will follow and questions starts to grow.  “Why?”  Can’t seem to stop the tears.  Throat gets dry.  You’re catching your breath from wanting to shout.  You can’t say thank you anymore.  Has your faith been waived?  Have you not prayed enough?  Have you not called God long enough?  Why God does say NO?  There has to be a reason.  Has God gone deaf?

Discouragement is another diabolical key that opens the door for strife, the thief of our happiness.  In a moment of weary resignation and discouragement, you open your mouth and release the fear that was in your heart.  “He is finished with me.  I give up”.  But that should not be the case.  Pick up where you left of, restart your worship-reclaim your destiny.  Do not say you are finished with something until God says He is finished with it.  Go back to the same place where you witnessed a miracle if you want another one.  Go back there and lift your perspective.  If God has done it once, He can do it again.  Throw down the final stick of your strength and surrender to God.  You can’t do it on your own anyway, so what do you have to lose?  Dare to trust!

Remember that God will never work until it is too late and you are down to nothing.  Remember that ZERO is the very best place to be-it is just hard to get there.  The path to your personal ZERO point is also a Beautiful Journey to a supernatural seedtime and harvest.  One of the oddest things about God’s economy is His attraction to human emptiness.  He values your emptiness far more than the measure of your fullness.  God will always respond to the emptiness offered through your broken and contrite heart.

So what to do when God says NO?  Worship!  It is the greatest of all mood-altering drugs.  It possesses the power to turn the darkest night into the brightest day.  Worship! And if God fails you, you will be the first person in history that He’s failed.  (And I don’t think you are that important for Him to ruin His redemption over.)  Keep on worshipping.  Pick up the pieces and march on…

What is Romance really?

Romance: -came from the word Romans, which comes from French literature based chiefly on legend; chivalric love; adventure; supernatural or fiction love story…

-mark by the imagination or the emotional appeal of heroic, mysterious or idealized. Denotes to something that is unreal, impractical and imaginary; no basis in fact; impractical conception, product of emotions and our unwanted feeling or passion, sentimental or imaginative feelings of being in a love affair with our own Romeos…

So where does Romance come from?

It came from the world…centers on external trappings; perpetuates a sentimental aspect of a relationship; or deception…One concrete example of this is TV, Movies, Music. So does this mean that we do not watch TV or Movies anymore? Of course not…But what I am saying is TV and Movies makes us dream of our own Romeos and compare our partners with those that we see in the movies…Why can’t you give me flowers? Why will you not treat me out to an expensive dinner? Why can’t you give me a diamond? Even if we do not actually say it, we ask ourselves these questions…Thus this would make us feel insecure, discontented and compare our partner with others and end up dissatisfied and in the end trapped in an unhappy relationship… Music- we like to listen to sad, tragic songs if we feel down…I wonder why we always want these type of songs if we are sad…Why cant we listen to happy upbeat songs if we are blue? Why can’t we dance and just spin around and around… because these songs are made to even make us savor our sadness, our emptiness and our pain…so why not listen to happy songs instead?

It came from our flesh…So what does this mean? It means we dream more of the tall, dark & handsome Romeos. We dream about them sometimes fantasize about them…Not just women but men as well. They dream of that sexy blond chick in their two-piece… What about the not sexy blond chick? Do men dream about them? I doubt…but for all we know, they are loyal, supportive, understanding and all positive adjectives we could describe her… I don’t say that being beautiful is bad because there are some woman born beautiful inside and out…What I am saying here is sometimes, it’s our flesh that dictates us to be Romantic…

It came from temptation…is this a sin? A big NO! I say temptation because it corrupts people mind of what real love is…Real love does not compare, does not judge but just love…Pure love…That’s just it…Not Romance but LOVE is what matters…if we have this we make this Journey a Beautiful one…
