Prayer Request

God, Thank you for everything.

Thank you for always guiding me in the right direction and for knowing what is best for me more than I do.

Thank you for the many times you have forgiven me whenever I deviated from your path.

Thank you for always reminding me that sometimes you are the only one I can trust, you are the only I can talk to and you are the only one who is truly listening.

Thank you for all these blessings that I take for granted on a daily basis.

Thank you for not hating me when I was ungrateful or rude or when my faith was shaken.

Thank you for the times you have inspired me to seek knowledge and know more about the world and about myself.

Thank you for giving me the spirituality I need to contemplate the wonders of the world and the wonders of your creation and the magic of your words and your daily miracles.

Thank you for the thousands of chances you have given me.

Thank you for all the lessons, especially the hard ones.

Thank you for the love you have shown me through family and friends.

Thank you for the hardships — indeed, every hardship was followed by ease.

Thank you for always being in my heart and embracing me in my lonely nights.

Thank you for sending me all these warning signs through your messengers who were disguised as people or books or just gut feelings.

Thank you for giving me the strength I needed to endure pain and be comfortable with my loneliness.

Thank you for giving me a reason to wake up every day.

Thank you for giving me people to look up to.

Thank you for sending me people to love.

Thank you for inspiring me to keep trying to be a better person.

Thank you for giving me that faith I need when there seems to be no hope.

Thank you for being patient with me when I can’t even be patient with myself.

Thank you for whispering into my soul when I almost felt dead inside.

Thank you for showing me that this life is fleeting and unpredictable and that I shouldn’t take it for granted.

Thank you for showing me that you are the truth.

Thank you for health, for shelter, and for food.

Thank you for healing me when I was broken.

Thank you for being there when no one else was.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for it all.

I wish I can carry out the message you have for me on this earth right –carry it with love and carry with peace.

I wish I can pass the message on and make a difference.

I am writing this for anyone who is feeling lost, desperate, sad, angry or heart broken. Someone who is going through a lot of hardships or feels betrayed by the world, I would like them to know that you are the answer and the only guidance.

That they don’t have to look outside or find someone else to heal them, all they have to do is look up and talk to you or just look for you inside their hearts. This is the only way to deal with hardships and deal with life.

Thank you for always being there and for reassuring me that no matter what, I will never be alone. Amen.

I love because YOU first loved me

In my 30 years of existence God has been so good to me. He always protects and guide me in my life journey. Every people He place in my life are manifestations of his unconditional love to me.
Yes, all...the good and the bad! Because all of them plays an important role in my whole being. They made me stronger and courageous woman that I am of today. Some people that I considered special in my heart may left me but still I am thankful because I know that God allow it to happened because all along they were just a part of my past to teach me a lesson. The most important thing are those genuine people that are with me through thick and thin. I have a loving and supportive family and friends.
Also, God is good that He answered most of my prayers. As what Mathew 7:7 says "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Indeed, this is very true. I asked Him to help me strengthen my faith and He does... He is using other people to help me fullfill this and until now I am in the process of knowing Him more.
Considering that I am far from my home land because I'm working as a Nurse overseas, He never fails to assure me that I am filled with His Grace and guided by His Holy Ghost. Even though that I am in a country that is full of restrictions to practice my faith, still I am glad that by His Grace I am able to worship and glorify Him. That I can silently pray in my room and play worship songs to honor Him. Oh! how great is my God...
Everything that I have are from Him. My job,my profession, my cool workmates, my kind Employer, our nice patients and all the things that I have learned here were just once prayers. I am still a work in progress in my faith and for being a Christ-like.. but God is so faithful to me in my prayers. For now, I will continue to ask Him for the things that I am hoping to accomplish and to have.. I will patiently wait, because if my will is inline of His will to me all things will be possible to happen.
Also, I want to share this song I wrote that I entitled "My love story with You, Jesus" I'm hoping and praying that in the near future I can put a melody on this... all glory belongs to our God and savior Jesus Christ...
My Love Story with YOU, Jesus

I
I always remember the first time I long for YOU
Deep inside my heart I knew there’s a missing piece
But this feeling didn't last long,
Coz YOU responded quickly to my call
And open YOUR door

II
From then on YOU never leave me
YOU’VE even carry me in my darkest days
I can feel YOUR presence wherever I am
YOU reminds me always of YOUR great love
Through unexpected circumstances and people around

(Chorus)
I love because YOU first loved me
The love I never felt to anyone or anything
In spite of my unworthiness YOU loved me unconditionally
YOU showed me how valuable I am
And that I am YOUR Princess and YOU are my King

III
Knowing YOU more is a great privilege
YOU died on the the cross to pay my wage
This sacrifice I cannot repay
Because of YOUR love you’ve been slay

IV
This is my love story with YOU my King
That I will treasure for the rest of my life
The only thing that I can give YOU now,
Is to serve and worship YOU with all my heart

(Bridge)
Forever I will love YOU and this is so true
I am excited to journey this life with YOU
And this love story will continue through eternity
I love YOU my Savior, my LORD, my King JESUS

God bless;Nurse Jen

Tougher than Tough (Jesus Christ is my Ally)

2 Cor 12:9a 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

When you’re struggling and maybe even hard to deal with, that doesn't make you a burden. It doesn't make you unlovable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn't make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren't always easy to be around — and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren't all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness. And if you have the right people in your life, they will know your heart and they will understand.

When times get tough, try to remember that you really can’t force things to happen. You will only drive yourself crazy trying. At some point you have to let go and let what’s meant to be, BE. In the end, loving your life is about trusting your intuition, taking chances, losing and finding happiness, cherishing the memories, and learning through experience. It’s a long-term journey. You have to stop worrying, wondering, and doubting every step of the way. Laugh at the confusion, live consciously in the moment, and enjoy your life as it unfolds – struggles and all. You might not end up exactly where you intended to go, but you will eventually arrive precisely where you need to be.

Remember that in the rough roads of your journey, God is always with you. He will never abandon you no matter what. Just trust Him with all your heart and mind. Then, you will realize that all along your journey He even carries you on those hard times. And when you had passed the humps and bumps of that rough roads, you will be tougher than tough on your next journey. :) -j.d
