Draw me back

Why is it hard to focus on God?
I blank prayer
An absent mind
A hearts of stone..

That's how I describe myself now...Where am I?I always get lost..
I am a Manager now, I have a good salary, I am working abroad,
Why do I feel unsatisfied?
or is it the correct term?
Maybe I am not so thankful!
I should make it a habit, to be thankful
Despite of some discouragements, still be thankful
Despite of some challenges, still be thankful

Lord God, help me to realize
that this life is just a drop of water
compared to another life, like a vast of ocean
that this world worries on TIME
while from Heavenly above is ETERNITY

Teach me to be satisfied of what I have
Teach me not to complain
Teach me to love myself more
And to love prayers more

Father, my Father!!!!Draw me back
From where I am supposed to be
A man who prays
who gives
who persists
who leads
who loves
who knows the TRUTH
and does the TRUTH
God, my mission is to lead people back to YOU
so that they may see the real GOLD
so please,,draw me back to you
Father, I love you...

Filling the emptiness

How thankful I am to have read some inspiring stories from one of my favorite Catholic websites .Even though I am working abroad, still I was able to witness God's works towards my kababayan. God is working for all of us!

Like them, I also have my own struggles here. Spiritually, sexually, financially. But I never give up.I almost want to give up but I should not. I go for holiness..I know its impossible for me here in Dubai, knowing that I am not in a Christian country, but if there's a will there's really a way! Before I go to work, I pray to God. Before I sleep, I read verses from the bible. I also have my prayer diary to express my feelings to God. I mean it though, that sometimes I got tempted..I sinned,.But my prayers lessen those temptations..

God is working for all of us!He fills my emptiness..He is my Father, I am His son..I shall be with Him til the ends of the earth!

the simplest is the happiest!!

I see some dried leaves gently lie on the silent road

Wind carries them, like a mother who cuddles her child

I see happiness, isn't it simple?

I hear a child's laugh

It scatters through the air

And flows through my ears

Such a tickle to me

What a harmony, Isn't it simple?

I feel the gentle wind

Moving freely, playing with the trees

And suddenly, my heart ignites

How I want to be flown like a kite

I feel happiness, Isn't it simple

I see some people passing by

Bringing lights on their face

It radiates through my eyes

SMiles, such a therapy to me

See?Happiness happens everyday They are just there from somewhere Just waiting to be noticed...by you... Try to look around you.Life is Simply happy!

I'm tired of worrying

Hey brain!Ouch!It's painful
Can you please don't give me those thoughts?
You are worrying again
Why can't you just relax?

Hey brain!Be brainy please!
You are not too wise
Think on the other way around
Coz I'm getting sick of the way you think.

Hey hey!!Brain I think you need some washing.
Brainwash as they call it.
Wash your fears and be refreshen up!
Junk your worries and be lighten up!

Ouch!I don't want to say Ouch again!
I think you need some make up
Make up your mind and stay focused
Or else you will end up aching.

Relax,,stay relax..
God is there
You need more prayers
Nothing really matters
Except the goodness of your thoughts
So that I may behave right too..
Relax...just relax...Calm...Breathe...Sigh...Smile...Live..

Go with the career!!God is the center

Soon I'll be flying

I shall hold on to my goal

Soon I'll be leaving

I must keep on praying

What's ahead of me?

Will I find some luck?

No one can answer

And so it remains a mystery

Got to play some game

Wherein you risk your life

Wherein there is only one rule

And that is, "Once you quit, you'll lose."

I need to find my luck

Dubai, Dubai please help me

Hope is what I bring

I shall not cower

And in the long run,

What wealth really is?

Anyone who can define?

I think it can be answered with one word..

And that is ,,, GOD.the real wealth

Lord Please be with me..

Where am I?

Freedom is a blessing
To journey is a chance
Perseverance is a gift
Happiness is a blessing

To walk in this life is quite dramatic
Yet exciting
From learning to walk
And walking to learn
Isn't it magical?

From learning to talk
And talking to learn
Isn't is wonderful?

From learning to love
And loving to learn
Isn't it challenging?

Life is very mysterious
You got to be very sure of every decision
You got to be strong
You got to be hopeful

I had walked a thousand miles
But sometimes I cant help asking myself
Where am I?

Is it really good to give money for the beggars in the street?Well, it depends upon your purpose..

Saturday afternoon, aroung 5pm, I went to the church to pray. Luckily, there was a mass just started on (The first reading is about to start).Thanks God I was able to join the mass.
After the mass, I went to the prayer room and had my reflection.

Then I came out of that room and finally made myself highly-spirited. Outside the church, I saw a woman sitting at the side of the alley. She had dusts from her face and her clothes were not clean. I think she was from her mid 40's of age.Well, she is begging for money while holding a plastic cup from her left hand. From her right arm was a baby.She was carrying her baby..I wondered, what was she considering as her true riches, the one she held from her left, or the baby from her right?It's so sad to think.
In short, she was a beggar begging for a drop of coin from me..The moment I came near to her, a thought entered my mind, "Should I give her a coin?", I wondered..Then another thought came to me, "Is it good to give her what she asked for?"..Being undecided, I never did anything. In short, I just ignored her and I continued on my walk.If I give her a coin, it could not truly sustain forever. It cannot help her life that much.
As I continued walking, something is bothering me.It's my conscience!!Oh my God!In my mind I asked the Lord, "Lord, what is the right thing to do?".I kept walking as my mind grew in awe and frustations..Then I stopped.I turned back, and I threw my sight to where the old woman is sitting. Then another thought came to me, "If I give her coins, will this truly help her".. Oh God, I really want to help the poor since I was in highscool. I have pity for the poor. I myself had been a victim of so much poverty when I was still young. Now, how can I really help that woman?A kind of help that is not superficial, that is not temporary?A kind of help that is EVERLASTING?...

I made a dep sigh, and with my conscience driving me, I went back to the woman who begged me for money..Then I realized, that I think I can help her by means of telling her something about God..To believe in God is to embrace SALVATION, and salvation means HEAVEN!!!Heaven is real, and I want this woman to go to heaven where there is no hunger, no pain and no frustations. I want her to be saved by believing that God is there....
So I went back to her, came close to her, and I picked coins on my pocket and dropped it to her precious cup..But it is not just an ordinary dropping of coins to her cup, because as I dropped the coins, I made this statement in my humblest and gentlest way, "Believe in God.".And she responded by nodding and smiling at me..That's it!!!!

I learned a very important lesson today..It's not really a matter of what you give but it depends merely on the purpose of giving it..I gave coins to that woman because I want to tell her that God loves her and she must believe in God so that she may have full riches in heaven..

I love you Lord!!
