Time&lt;br /&gt;I don't know with you but as for me I've so many things in mind that I really wanted to do but was not able to do them and the usual reason is that I'm busy but God's word in Ecc. 8: 6 says that there's always a proper time and procedure for every matter. In verse 5 of same chapter, it states there that the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure. One practical way really is to keep a schedule of the things you need to do everyday but sometimes really you're not able to follow them or it gets delayed. I can really attest to that.: ) Just don't be too hard on yourself, also, bec.it's always a process...a never-ending process.....: )&lt;br /&gt;2.) Money&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to handling this area of my life, one practical way that I "try" to follow is the 1-2-7 principle...&lt;br /&gt;1 = 10% for you to give&lt;br /&gt;2 = 20% for you to save&lt;br /&gt;7 = 70% for you to live&lt;br /&gt;But of course, I know this seems really good in theory but so hard to practice that is why more than this, we need to ask ourselves what's really the purpose of our resources...God says in His word that we are made rich in every way so that we can be generous in any occassion... If we come to think of it the very purpose of our existence is to glorify God and the resources that God has blessed us with are just tools for us to carry out that purpose... We are just passers-by in this world....&lt;br /&gt;3.) Health&lt;br /&gt;I've never been so concerned with my health as I am right now. Late last year, I had a scan (I'm not going to tell you what it is) and the result says that I'm way below the standards...They have this range of standards from weak to strong and mine fell even below the weakest. Well, it's not reallly critical.It's just one of the symptoms and that if I'm not going to do something about it now, it could make my life shorter. : ) I consider it as God's way of warning me...I've been really neglecting my body not considering that this is God's temple..So, women it's now my time to warn you also....this body of ours is our earthly suit...we can't do God's will for our lives here if we're not physically fit... : )&lt;br /&gt;4.) Rest and Recreation&lt;br /&gt;Be careful of overfellowship! God really has been convicting me nowadays bec. I've been really secluding myself from my friends outside the church coz I always spend it with my church friends.. He's been reminding me that discipleship is relationship..The time you spent with your officemates, friends and family are actually the times when you could relate to them and that's considered discipleship. : )&lt;br /&gt;5.) Emotion&lt;br /&gt;Yeah! I know what you're thinking..Discipline??!! Emotions??!! Yeah! It does need discipline and this is the most overlooked area. Let me share to you something. Early this year I almost fell into the brink of assuming something.....into the big deception I've stated before... I will not delve deeper into that but ladies just want to remind you really to circumcise our hearts not bec.we don't want to get hurt but bec. of the fact that God values our hearts more than ever. If there have been people who are toying with your emotions whether intentionally or not, then you better pray this..."Lord, I give to you my heart for only you can handle it well."&lt;br /&gt;To sum this all up...I say...everything has to die...yup! everything has to die for it to grow...die to yourself in these areas..in the way you handle your time, money, health, recreation and esp. your emotions.......You know when you decide to respond to God's call, you must understand that God will really put you in a season of preparation and I'm telling you it's not easy bec. it will reallly require you to go through fire...as what Mark 9:49 states "Everything willl be salted with fire.".......to a point where everything has to die...where only that holy seed of faith is left....(Remember Isaiah's commission??!!) ...&lt;br /&gt;after all, it's what reallly what God wants from us...to please Him...that's our ultimate goal...and it's FAITH (Heb.11: 6)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19348647-114093814327396991?l=inarevealed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/feeds/114093814327396991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19348647&amp;postID=114093814327396991' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/114093814327396991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/114093814327396991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/2006/02/5-areas.html' title='5 Areas'/><author><name>ina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12467366614483557537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19348647.post-113703148792358101</id><published>2006-01-11T17:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-14T02:17:46.966-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Perfect Love</title><content type='html'>For every single women out there, this is for us.... : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, To have a deep soul relationship with another, To be loved thoroughly and exclusively, But God to a Christian says: "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, With having an intensely personal and unique Relation with Me alone, Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, Will you be capable of the perfect relationship That I have planned for you. You will never be united With another until you are united with Me, Exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing One that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow Me to give it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things; Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM; Keep listening and learning the things that I tell you. You just wait, Do not be anxious, do not worry, Do not look at the things you want; You just keep looking off and the way is up to Me Or you will miss what I want to show you. the one I have for you is ready (I am working even at this moment to Have both ready at the same time), Until you are both satisfied exclusively With ME and the life that I have prepared for you, You will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies Your relationship with Me, And this is the Perfect Love. And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your Relationship with Me, and to enjoy Materially and concretely, The everlasting union of beauty, perfectness, And love that I offer you with Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am God. Believe, and be satisfied."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love...this is the only word that God is equated with. Based on 1 John 4:16, God is Love.It's his very nature.It identifies Him.It's Him! And He manisfested Himself to us when He died in the cross for us. Love is God Himself yet it's a sad thing to note that it's also the most abused and misused word. So, it's really never a question of what but of WHO...and the answer is GOD. You can never truly love someone until you meet Love- the source.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19348647-113703148792358101?l=inarevealed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/feeds/113703148792358101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19348647&amp;postID=113703148792358101' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113703148792358101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113703148792358101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/2006/01/perfect-love.html' title='Perfect Love'/><author><name>ina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12467366614483557537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19348647.post-113654007402143354</id><published>2006-01-06T01:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-14T02:17:13.416-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chain of Links</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As this new year starts to unfold, I just wanna honor those women who have made an impact in my road to Christianity, small or great like,... women who have become links in the chain that anchored me as a Christian. Of course, with Jesus Christ as the hook. Yeah! I mentioned links bec.my Christianity is not caused by one person alone. The one who invited me is different, the one who shared to me about salvation is different, the one who followed me up is different, the one,whom I could say established me, is different... etc...and I could say it will never be caused by one person...that's why I encourage you to always be on the lookout on how to become a link to a new believer...not bounded by the thought of "That's hers!" You know what I mean. : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Here they are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dian&lt;/strong&gt;[first link] - she was the one who invited me to Youth on Fire and I joined bec. I wanna be a part of the dance group that they're forming for the Campus Invasion here in Cebu..heheh... Yeah..so funny... It started with a wrong motive but really up until now I'm thankful for her bec. it's really where it all started and up until now also, she has continued to become a link. In fact, just this Christmas I'm touched when she wrote how I've reminded her of the impact she brought to me, how it revived her. Yeah it's the other way around now that's why it's a chain bec. once you become a link, you both learned from each other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Espie&lt;/strong&gt;[opening link] - I don't know if she remembers but she's actually the first person who shared to me about salvation which I found funny at that time.Although my reaction was more of mockery, still I'm thankful bec. it made me think and contemplate how can I really experience eternity with God...That propelled my search.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Janine&lt;/strong&gt;[being a link]- No,she was not my cell leader formally but she really was a leader to me and until now.A very good example of being a link. She always speaks a blessing. She's really an encouragement. She was the one actually who keep encouraging me about my gifts esp. with my prophetic gift.In fact she intentionally asks for a word once in a while just so I could use my gift and I'm always thankful for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maui&lt;/strong&gt;[faithful link] - She is actually a perfect example of a faithful link.hehe..Many people don't know this but actually she only had one person who really started from her. Unlike Blessy who's really a pioneer in inviting people. Maui is more of a second-hand type of leader. She's just really good in bringing out the best in people that could really establish people in their faith. That's how she is. Look what faithfulness can do! And I'm one of those who's blessed to have her not only as leader but really as a confidant. In fact, last night we're textmates. Tnx to Globe unlimited...hehe...(promoting!) and we're apalled that we're actually undergoing the same struggles. Now that's really a link. : ) Let me mention how interchangeably linked we are bec. I just find it really amusing. It's just so funny bec. whenever someone asks for her counsel about..u know..luv life, she would asks me as if I'm such an expert where in fact we're both novices when it comes to that.I guessed we clicked bec. of that and we always thank God for preserving us...We're much wiser I should say..hehe...Well, I guessed that's what you get from learning from the mistakes of others...hehhe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gavz&lt;/strong&gt;[campus link] - I was under her when I was still ministering to the campus and I really admire her for being so strong yet sweet...open yet grounded...Really one of the women I really looked up to second to &lt;strong&gt;Ate Joy&lt;/strong&gt; who by the way has become a link also to me. I always admire Ate Joy for her discipline, sharpness and constancy. This one thing also I've observed, she's actually a very affectionate woman as seen in the way she treats her children.I understand that somehow it might sound surprising bec. usually there's always that fear factor that accompanies her. : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joyce&lt;/strong&gt;[transition link]- she was my leader during my transition from campus to yuppy and I believed God purposely did that for me to adjust well. I really learned from her how to represent God well not only in your actions but really physically also. She taught me not to forget the importance of looking good on the outside bec. that's really the first thing that people will see in you. You know before I'm just contented knowing that God sees my heart but she really emphasized how to have a beautiful heart and let it be manifested outside.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Axie&lt;/strong&gt;[home link] - was under her for a brief moment but that short span of time didn't stop me from learning from her. If there's one thing that I've learned from her, it's knowing where your home is amidst your busy schedule.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fritzie&lt;/strong&gt;[current link] - yeah! she's my leader right now and my fashion guru, too. I just loved the way she dresses...try to notice it! And let me tell you a secret, she can actually be 'crazy' too.: ) Don't be deceived by that formal, prim and proper look. hehhe : ) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mommy&lt;/strong&gt;[a mother's link] - she's not a Christian yet but I want to include her in the list of women whom I want to honor.She's always been there and I loved her for that. I want to thank her for allowing me to profess my faith although at the start, she opposed it but God's goodness probably soften her. I know that one day she'll be standing beside me worshipping God.I know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as parting words..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Be encouraged that no matter how insignificant you may feel, you can always touch a person's life without you knowing it. Try to ask yourself this....Literally,how many people have you touched in a day with your hand? ...Don't you know that with your hand carries a fingerprint that identifies you as person. You're actually leaving imprints of your identity, of who you are without you knowing it.Everyone has the capacity to touch lives, God instilled it in us.You can be a link in the chain that could anchor someone to God!!! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So,let's link!!! : ) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19348647-113654007402143354?l=inarevealed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/feeds/113654007402143354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19348647&amp;postID=113654007402143354' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113654007402143354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113654007402143354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/2006/01/chain-of-links.html' title='Chain of Links'/><author><name>ina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12467366614483557537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19348647.post-113567196198422858</id><published>2005-12-27T00:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-27T00:26:01.983-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Silence</title><content type='html'>If you've read my post entitled First with Fritzie, then you must have had the idea the reason behind the 20+ days of silence here in my blog....&lt;br /&gt;If not, then better read it now....  : )  : )&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19348647-113567196198422858?l=inarevealed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/feeds/113567196198422858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19348647&amp;postID=113567196198422858' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113567196198422858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113567196198422858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/2005/12/silence.html' title='Silence'/><author><name>ina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12467366614483557537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19348647.post-113567176264270333</id><published>2005-12-27T00:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-01T23:13:38.456-08:00</updated><title type='text'>First with Fritzie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Date Written: Dec.07, 2005&lt;br /&gt;Event Date: Dec.06, 2005 Metro Cafe&lt;br /&gt;     Had a leadership group last night and I'm just so blessed that I even promised Ate Fritzie este Fritzie : ) that I would really take note of it and make an entry about it. It's actually my first time to attend her leadership group and in fact Fritzie and I have known about the change of leadership just last night when Gavz let me chose where should I... Ate Joy's crowded already&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;it wouldn't be as effective so we tried to think of who.....and so Gavz thought of Fritzie and it turned out that her LG is scheduled that night and so that's it.... Well, I'm just amused of the sudden changes....I'm just really thankful coz I've really learned a lot...How I wish I could scribble down the kind of atmosphere that we had or should I say the anointing Fritzie brings &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;coz you know why when I came to think of it as I scanned through my notes....I could say these things are basic but how come it made such an imprint in my heart as I left the place......Well, I guessed it's not really the knowledge learned but the Spirit that embodied it...... Fritzie really is just such a motivational speaker.....I must say....&lt;br /&gt;     As a start, Fritzie let us read the whole chapter of Romans 12 and let each one of us guessed what would be the topic....some said love... some said humility....I said God's will.......etc....but guess what's the answer?? Fritzie in her usual prim and proper posture answered in a soft-spoken voice "We're going to talk about men." Ah! I said Ok. I was really caught in surprise knowing that it's my first time and I was like the youngest among them... : ) Looking at their eager and excited faces : ), I realized well it's just me.... : ) and something in my Spirit told me.."You're not growing any younger Web! Welcome to the world of women.... mature women..." ah ok!&lt;br /&gt;     Actually, an issue was raised regarding the relationship of women and men in the church. People thought that it has been dealt with but some elders especially those from Manila have noticed that there's been really a gap between men and women in the church which remains unresolved. I kinda agree and disagree at the same time. I agree that there's been some kind of invisible gap between men and women in the church but it doesn't apply to our generation..."Maybe in your batch but not in ours..." I told Frtizie. Well, she agreed with me also. I told her that I would like to believe that we've broken it already and that I hope they would be encouraged to do the same.. : )&lt;br /&gt;      Well, she talked about our role as women, how should our attitudes be towards men not only in the church but also in every place our feets might bring us. : ) Basically she talked about our place as women and where should we put ourselves coz you know [sorry to mention this but this is reality] there are really women in the church who are really strong in character. Although that's good but somehow in a way it has intimidated the men to really rise up and lead, so Fritzie told us to check our hearts "Do we think of ourselves more highly thna we ought to?" "Are we really doing our role as women?" In the first place, do we know our role by the way?...&lt;br /&gt;       Those questions made my mind linger back to the things that I've learned from the book that has in one way or another influenced my "womanly transition"... heheh It's entitled "Let me be a woman" by Ellisabeth Elliot. It's a great book and I recommend it to all women. Of course to women coz I don't wanna create any spark of gayness to men please..&lt;br /&gt;       {Just joking! : ) As commented by Gavz, the book must have been for "me~n??!!!" bec. of     it's title. : ) }&lt;br /&gt;But yeah! really it's a great book and you can actually use it as a devotional bec. based on my experience it's too meaty that it's so hard for you to chew in just one sitting not withholding Elliot's literary style of writing.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I guessed I've built the book so much already and that right now you're dying to hear or read what I've learned really.. hahah... I'm just trying to stir up excitement... you know advertising.. so that u yourself would really want to buy one... hahha...so mean...: )&lt;br /&gt;What's really our role as women??!!&lt;br /&gt;Based on Psalm 144:12 "May our daughters be like corner PILLARS cut for the structure of a palace.", just like a pillar we are to UPHOLD and SUPPPORT. There's nothing wrong with being strong. Pillars are strong left by itself but its role is to uphold and support the palace... our palace might include our house, the church,....wherever area it might be, we are called to support with all the strenght that we have. Elliot pointed out that we are to be meek and "To be meek is to have a sane and proper estimate of one's place in the scheme of things.". It's not being weak, it's actually knowing where to put your strength. As the usual meaning of it " strength under control"... and that's true feminism. You know before I was one of those so-called feminist as molded by society's meaning of feminism where you as a woman should stress equal rights with men and in my case to the point of desiring to be a man. hehe I can't help but laugh right now.&lt;br /&gt;Now I can say I'm truly a feminist.&lt;br /&gt;In addition to that, if we traced back to the story of Adam and Eve, Eve was created for the purpose of supporting Adam as he take domininon over the creatures God has created. SO that's really our role to support the men not to take dominion bec. it's their role. Help them as they lead. : )&lt;br /&gt;Now, you might ask yourself how??&lt;br /&gt;Actually, in small ways...&lt;br /&gt;.....like letting them do the job in leading a meeting coz you know I understand that as women we have this tendency that if men will not do it then we'll just do it but you know the secret to that....be silent! don't volunteer! heheh : )&lt;br /&gt;.....like in a conversation,[many women are really guilty of this] , when caught up in "silent moments" we try to say things right away eventhough how senseless it may be bec. we don't want "dead airs"...but you know what as we continually do that we're depriving them of their ability to lead...and you know what we ought to do when that comes... again, be silent! : ) let them initiate a conversation...throw to them the burden of thinking what u should talk about... : ) : ) you're actually giving them an opportunity to practice leading...hehe... Be silent! no matter how awkward it may seem.... Slowly, they'll get the hang of it and it becomes natural...: )&lt;br /&gt;.....and of course those small things that have been emphasized in the church...&lt;br /&gt;letting the men to walk on the danger side...letting them open the door for you...giving them every chance they can get....&lt;br /&gt;So women the secret really is BE SILENT!&lt;br /&gt;Imagine if Eve had been silent... : ) : )&lt;br /&gt;I guessed I have an idea now what would be my next entry..... : ) : ) : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;It reminds me of a vision God gave some time ago....&lt;br /&gt;I actually don't know how to put it into words but I'll try.&lt;br /&gt;Try to picture this... a mountain where there's a woman on one side&lt;br /&gt;and a man on the other side...&lt;br /&gt;I don't how to explain...... : )&lt;br /&gt;but it leaves an impression that God has prepared someone for you&lt;br /&gt;on the other side of the mountain....heheh......: )&lt;br /&gt;You just have to focus yourself on God,&lt;br /&gt;do what He wants you to do.........&lt;br /&gt;and climb the mountain set before you.....&lt;br /&gt;enjoying the adventure along the way.......&lt;br /&gt;You don't need to put yourself up on the pedestal.&lt;br /&gt;As you do God's will for you everyday be assured that&lt;br /&gt;God will bring you AT THE PEAK... : )&lt;br /&gt;at a place where your man could see you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;em&gt;That's if he did his part of climbing his own mountain also ... heheh : )&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;That's why you also need to pray for your man.... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;That's one way of loving the man God has for you before knowing him or seeing him...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just like the last part in the song above.........&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;which reminds me also of the line "I knew I loved you before I met you" &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at a perfect place where both of you could have a better view....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, common women....let's take our backpack of faith with us... : ) : ) : )&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy trekking!......... : ) : ) : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: If you like to have an mp3 of this song, just email me. : )&lt;div

Never assume. It's always safe.&lt;br /&gt;2. Never put meaning to any sweet act from a guy.&lt;br /&gt;3. Never pour out your heart to a guy or never let a guy&lt;br /&gt;counsel u since it may cause emotional attachments.&lt;br /&gt;4. See men as brothers and friends not as a potential&lt;br /&gt;husband.&lt;br /&gt;5. You're beautiful and is worth waiting for. God is&lt;br /&gt;preparing a Godly husband for you, so wait for Him.&lt;br /&gt;6. God alone can fill up your needs and desires. He&lt;br /&gt;alone can complete you.&lt;br /&gt;7.

Although I'm not reallly new to that since I have brothers whom I've seen cried once in a while but it's still different when he's a total stranger to you. I just met him that night and it's so obvious that he needed company so I tried my best to comfort him but I guessed there's just really no exact words to soothe a fresh agony especially when it involves a man's pride. I just can't find the perfect words to ease the hurt so I chose to just leave it to "silence" hoping that my mere presence would somehow divert his mind from focusing on the failure that he had. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;***Feeling the depth of his emotions made me point to my own and somehow discovered that we're probably on the same melancholic state but with different causes..his was caused by an unexpected failure... mine was caused by a realization impressed by God... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I've never been really so deeply in touch with my emotions until recently... and by recently I meant a range of 2 to 5 months...counting backwards... I've been asking why am I feeling like this... I couldn't exactly figure what..all I know is that I've never really been so deeply in touch with my emotions as I am right now...and I'm not really used to this. I've always been in control.&lt;br /&gt;Then, God just reminded me of a particular time when I attended an acting workshop. It was during that time when He made me realized how walled my heart is. Well, I knew it's walled but I never thought how thick my walls have become. I have always leaned to it as my protection from hurts...from pains but never really realized that what goes with the other side of the coin... is the inability also to experience true joy and happiness. And that time, I just left it as it is.... Now I understand why... God has been breaking the walls and probably what is left now is just one sweep of falling debris...Now I'm enjoying it... I don't need to built the fences myself...God is my shield...Now I could liken my heart to a rose.. a beautiful rose... so fragile and delicate...and I guessed the thorns are there as my protection but the difference is that it's made naturally from thy Creator not by my own defensive efforts...and somehow "he who wants the rose must respect the thorns". : )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19348647-113307235258680253?l=inarevealed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/feeds/113307235258680253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19348647&amp;postID=113307235258680253' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113307235258680253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19348647/posts/default/113307235258680253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inarevealed.blogspot.com/2005/11/rose.html' title='Rose'/><author><name>ina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12467366614483557537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19348647.post-113307230829302695</id><published>2005-11-26T22:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-04T18:10:09.550-08:00</updated><title type='text'>For women from four women</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt;Event: Nov.5, 2005 Saturday at Kaona Grill&lt;br /&gt;We had a so-called Saturday night-out..ladies night-out coz we're all ladies namely Gavz, Maui, Joi and me, Web...Oh it's Ina! : )I forgot...got a new name just to identify my slowly growing transition from being a girl to a woman... hahha......still trying to get comfortablewith it... trying to embrace it... : ) As what I've learned from Joyce... to be excellent means moving beyond your comforts..Yeah! I'm trying to move beyond the comforts of jeans and shirts....ruggedly boyish look..to a refined womanly look... Well, of course it goes beyond the looks... starts deeper within... : )Anyways, I just wanna share here the talks we had bec. I've really learned a lot from it and I hoope that everyone who'll get to read this will learn esp. to every single woman out there. : ) This is for us.&lt;br /&gt;LEARNINGS&lt;br /&gt;From Gavz:  "Don't lose your inheritance!"&lt;br /&gt;In other words, ladies let's not compromise..Better remain single than marry an ungodly man..At her age[Sorry Gavz if I have to mention this, I'm just trying to make a point.:)peace!],it's so tempting to give in to compromises but she didn't because she knew exactly God has prepared someone greatfor her.She didn't lower her standards but choose to trust God instead. As an analogy to that based on an email, great apples are always at the top and are hard to reach.All she really needs is a courageous man who's determined enough to harvest her. So, men be brave! : )&lt;br /&gt;From Maui:  "Guard your heart!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt;You know sometimes men can be "stupidly" sweet.[Sorry guys, trying to make a point again.] What i meant with stupid is when guys do all those sweet things...trying to be gentle...without knowing that it could stir up so many differentfacets of emotions...without considering how emotional women can be. Yeah, that's why I call it stupid bec. they're probably unaware of it. Well, I don't blame them.They ought to be gentle. Now, the control really is up to us, women. We have to guard our hearts. We can't put meaning to every sweet gesture that they have. As much as possible, we have to see it as a friendly act or a gentleman's instinct. Yeah, sometimes you might argue that "It's obvious. He likes me." Hey, women! Listen! That's a BIG DECEPTION! We can't assume unless they've formally expressed their intentions. Maui and I agrees to that. Women, make it your number 1 rule also. If ever they're really up for something or if they're really prayerfully considering you, then the more you need to "Guard ur heart!" and enthrust it to God. Because if they're really serious enough, they will find the key to your heart.: ) By that, I meant that they will do it the formal way...with permissions from spiritual elders/leaders and of course, from parents...If they're really true, they will not keep the woman guessing. So, women be still! Let's guard our hearts. : )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt;From Joi: Listen! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt;There's no better remedy to a woman's soul than having someone who will truly listen. Thanks to Joi! By listening I meant not only hearing but truly giving your ears and heart.. And knowing what to say, how to say it and when to say it.I truly bow down to Joi for being such a perfect example. She actually kept the pace in our conversations knowing that women have loads of things to say to the point of digressing. : )&lt;br /&gt;From Me?!: "Spread yourself!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt;Can't give your exclusive attention to someone unless you're in courtship stage.As much as possible, treat every men equally. You make sure that you're giving the same affection or attention to every male friend that you have. Of course, there will always be one person who will stand out in your eyes but that doesn't give you permission to give him some special attention. Well I know it's hard. There are just men also whom you could get along well but just make sure you know where to draw the line. By that I meant that you make sure that you don't say things or do things exclusive to both of you...transparency...no secrets between the two of you...accountability... More or less, the same as Maui. Well, that's what you call impartation. : )&lt;br /&gt;As a conclusion, let me share to you what I've learned from the story of Shannon and Joshua Harris. It's not something so novel-like. In fact, it's just so simple, anyone can relate to but it's so inspiring because you could really see that their story magnifies that they're really serving a glorious God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt; Let me give you an "excerpt" using my own words. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#339999;"&gt;[Sorry I'm not a good story-teller,not a good writer either.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shannon always goes out of the office with a heavy heart. It's been her habit to go to her car and leaned on the steering wheel without knowing that Joshua watches her as she does that everyday. He's wondering what is she doing. He's been noticing Shannon but thought that for Shannon "He doesn't even exist." He just doesn't know that Shannon was struggling with her feelings for him and she actually leans on the steering wheel to pray. She's praying to God to remove whatever feelings Joshua have stirred up in her if it's not really from God.....And you know the story... they got married...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Now the question is what did they do... I mean the process before they knew they're for each other. Well,it's just simple.For Shannon, she trusted God and for Joshua, he took courage. Shannon trusted that God has prepared the right time, the right person perfectly matched for her and the right heart. God was preparing her heart so that she will know how to respond when the right time comes and be mature enough for the responsiblities set ahead for both of them.
