Quoting beau1974:

I had my ups and downs throughout but I realized that I had many ups than downs.It has been a beautiful and wonderful life and still continues to be more beautiful.

For the past years, I have been striving myself to be able to cope up with work and with so many things. I made so many mistakes along the way but I still managed to get on my feet. As I looked back at everything that had happened some might say that I am strong but the truth is I am not. I am weak in the sense that I wished that we were well off so I wont be able to tire myself too much and see my father working too hard. But then, there are ways why the Lord gave us this kind of life. We may not know His plans but He promised us that He won't leave us. Everything happens for a reason.

Everything has been recorded before we were born.

I never thought that I am so loved and blessed by no one else but HIM. Blessings, I have so many...my family, my friends (too many to mention), my work, my Emmanuel community, my country (kahit ang daming problema).

All of us are experiencing different struggles or pains in our lives but don't ever forget that all of these are just a small portion of what the Lord has been through. We can start offering everything to HIM and of course complete faith and trust that the Lord will not give us problems we cannot handle.

"The storms of our lives prove the strength of our anchor. As we love, trust and depend on God. He will give us strength to do the impossible."

"No prayer is ever lost, or any prayer ever breathed in vain. There is no such thing as prayer unanswered or unnoticed by God, and some things we see as refusals or denials are simple delays.

Christ sometimes delays His help so He may test our faith and energize our prayers. Our boat may be tossed by the waves while He continues to sleep, but He will awake before it sinks. He sleeps but He never oversleeps, for He is never too late."

***Be still, sad soul! lift up no passionate cry,
But spread the desert of your being bare
To the full searching of the All-seeing eye;
Wait! and through dark misgiving, deep despair
God will come down in pity, and fill the dry
Dead place with light, and life, and
springlike air.*********
