"God is good all the time, all the time God is good"

"God is good all the time, all the time God is good"

Being a believer of any religion stems from having faith. It is faith that gives us hope to hold on, and to believe that problems will pass and that in the end everything will be alright. There are people who are like Thomas, who do not believe until he himself saw Jesus, and there are those who are not. It is faith that makes us believe in Him even though we haven't seen Him. Maybe it's because He has answered A LOT of our prayers. Maybe it's because He is always by our sides at all times, whether it is sorrow or happiness. Or maybe because our friends or relatives have shared their testimonies on Jesus' works. Still, it is faith. 

I myself have experienced His powerful works and I believe they are blessings. There are a lot of times that I pray and He answers me back. Prayers should always be praise, thank then ask. We should give praise to Him first and thank Him for everything He has given and done for us. Then, that is when we can ask Him for our intentions. 

Having another day to live by is one of the blessings I receive and to be thankful for. We are blessed to have our eyes opened again to another bright sunny morning and continue our lives with the ones we love. We should be thankful, we can see the sun and feel the wind, because there are those who cannot anymore. For hearing the traffic noises or the birds singing, we are blessed. For having the ability to say and do what we feel and know is right, we are blessed. For having everything we have now, we are truly blessed. Let's start to count every blessing we receive and I am sure we'll all be amazed on how rich we are. Let's start today. Be grateful to everything. Be good to everyone. Then God will do the rest. You'll be rewarded and you'll feel that you have the fulfillment of your soul. There is no harm is trying not to recognize the negative things that happened or is happening. It's part of life. It is just how we are going to handle everything. Through God, everything is possible. Let's be positive and believing. Have faith and be blessed. Have a good day!

stonewalling or not?

Things always have two sides, positive and negative. Everything on Earth has its consequences, whether it be good or bad. No matter how fair you play, there will always be these people who will pull you as hard as they can just for their satisfaction. Selfish, but it's the reality. We have to learn how to dance well, so as not to be stepped on the foot. Yes it will be hard, because you have to test the waters first before doing any act. You'll be stepped on and on and on. But as you go again and again, you'll learn how to dance it, the right way. You'll be able to guard yourself from the things that hinder you from developing. This is known as getting immune or getting used to these things. Once we learn how to dance with the right song, we'll have better ways to handle things. You'll learn how to use what you have, to do things right. You'll know how to balance your mind and emotions given certain situations. This way, life is easier. Life is happier. It is perfect. . . But. . . F*! this is ideal! In reality, it's hard to do things with balanced use of the mind and the heart. The greater the want you have inside your heart, the harder it is for you to rationalize. Absurd, but it's true. Even myself, I am guilty of being impulsive most of the times. There is this feeling of fear inside me that blocks my rationalization of knowing the real deal before acting on it. I am afraid of depression from any negative response. I am scared of letting go. I am used to having everything I wanted, whether it's instant or not. I get attached to things that i know will be mine sooner or later. I weigh things for a short while, and see if it will really become mine. And in cases things go the other way around, I tend to repel, immediately. Maybe it's my way of saving myself from too much hurt. Because i'm afraid of getting hurt. I know what I want and if I want something but I'm having troubles getting it, that's when I formulate. I formulate things in my head. Things that, I think, would help me stand up and move on from that unpleasant event. I won't let myself be drowned to negativity of life. It's not how I plan to spend my young age. I have lots of plan. Plan of enjoying every single moment of my life. So, for me to achieve that, I resort to stonewalling. I refuse to converse things out. I leave things hanging. I've been like this ever since. And it is just now that I realize that I have to be strong. If I really want to be happy then I must learn how to face everything. I must be strong enough to handle things in my life, whether they're good or bad. It would bring too much pain but I have to feel it, to learn. So that next time, I already know what to do. I will be prepared enough to face the "reality". Will now stop doing stonewalling, and learn to settle things that need to be settled.
