Do Your Best - Leave the Rest

One of the problems that assail us all is worrying about tomorrow and what might be.

The Bible advises us to not have anxious thoughts about tomorrow and the things we cannot change (Luke:12:22-26 [22]And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.[23]The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.[24]Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?[25]And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? [26]If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?).

We realize that worrying does not make things better and only adds an additional load to our lives. However, that does not mean we can forget about the things to come. We are expected to do the best that we can in every circumstance.

It is a blessing to know that once you have truly done your best, you can leave the rest and not worry about it. Knowing that we have tried with all of our might is the comfort we seek. There are events and things in life that we cannot change. When we have done all there is to do, we need to let go and let God take care of the rest for us. That is our comfort and strength. It may take some practice, but once you know your efforts were complete, letting go of the worry is a blessing.

07/18 - 07/19

I was about to go Davao Postal Office and apply to get a postal ID... Since I have a document that was in error, I went to Ateneo de Davao University - Post Office nalang to apply there... my first time to enter in that university here in Davao City... I was amazed, I like the surroundings... I thought of going back to school again... hmm...

After processing my requirements (Birth Certificate, Cedula, Brgy Clearance, Notarized document, Passport size picture)). Maybe an hour...

Tah-daaah!

I got my postal ID!!! yey! :D thanking God for He heard my prayer...

hmm.. And also, to kuya Charlie and Ma'am Joy Namis (friend of kuya Charles), without the two, i couldnt get my postal ID (one of the requirements to get my ATM). Of course, I spent money more than my budget... but its okay, GOD will provide when I’m in need... :)

Happy but sad, for the reason that realized that I need to change one of my very important document, which is my Birth Certificate... oh no! Just one letter... and the world of mine will turn upside down... ugh!!! and i need a lot of moneeeeey...

Anyways, I deactivated my Facebook account... Hmm... No serious reason/s ... I just want to try of having no Facebook... :D 

Headache strikes... as always... headache for two weeks... ouch! It’s now part of my daily struggle...

:( it’s like squeezing your head! I believe that prayer is more than a medicine...

I prayed and rested earlier... but I missed "Prince of Persia" showing... next time again... :( aaaw.

July 19, 2011 - Tuesday.

..And today... we had our compass check... it's about the Religion of Judaism... and about the TRUE church...

The thing that really stood out for me is about the true church... the True church, is the one who is obeying God's commandment, not the traditions of men...

Oh! I like what late Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong said and it's true...

"People today are the same... human nature today are still the same... and there are a lot of modern Pharisees today...”

I was about to checked my email...

    and....

someone emailed me and asked about what happened to my Facebook account... hehe... Well, I found out, even if he’s not sending FB message to me at all, but at least he’s still visiting my profile... I like! ;)

I still have my headache... I don’t know if it’s because of my eyes or a MIGRAINE... oh no!!! :(

 Hoping and praying that my health is okay.

...and a little bit of confused about something... that really made me "tulala" ...

Since this is public, I will just write it on my notebook... hihih... just for now... :) I will keep it to myself first...

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."

Wednesday . . .

Another day...

Something’s bothering me... and I keep on worrying... :(

I hope, miracles will exist this time... I need it...

My heart is breaking... oh oh!!!

Someone send me this quote that made me think and meditate...

"God never takes away something from us without giving us something better.

When you pray, don't BEG, simply BELIEVE.

That's how FAITH works." :)

-- Yea. I am working on it.

Just to forget the problem... I found out the new Google Plus... and ate Analou introduced it to me...

im enjoying it now...and I like it... its like Facebook.. Uh-oh! But, not really populated like FB... Ü

"Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods”

like this song...

STEEP

by Lauren Christy

Softly, gently, I will let you down
Cause I don't love you in the same way now
I can hold you but not with lover's arms
Cause you are more of a brother to me now
And I can lie next to you, but I can't lie to you

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain,
For you the future's easy, so don't weep, for me it's getting
Steep

I loved you for exactly who you are,
And I'd say you've come the nearest yet by far,[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lauren_christy/steep.html ]
And I can lie next to you, but I can't lie to you

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain,
For you the future's easy, so don't weep, for me it's getting

Steeper and in the dark that's where I want to be
Deeper, I'm going somewhere you won't want to see...

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain,
For you the future's easy, so don't weep
Yes I will watch you,
Walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain drops
For you the future's easy, so don't weep
For me it's getting
Steep.

Women of the Bible 1

Dinah

The Woman Who’s Sightseeing Had Fatal Results

Scripture Reference: Genesis 34

Name Meaning: Dinah means "justice" or "one who judges," and was doubtless given her as a token of her parents' belief in divine justice.

Family Connections: She was a daughter of Jacob and Leah, and as a member of a family under covenant blessing should have been more careful regarding her personal obligationn in maintaining the honor of her home and nation.

Apphia

Scripture Reference: Philemon 1:2

Name Meaning: That which is fruitful.

 

Tryphena and Tryphosa

Scripture Reference: Romans 16:12

Name Meaning: Delicate or dainty one

Hodesh

Scripture Reference: 1 Chronicles 8:8-9

Name Meaning: New moon

Phoebe

Scripture Reference: Romans 16:1, 2

Name Meaning: Pure or radiant as the moon

Eunice

The Woman Whose Son Became a Famous Evangelist

Scripture Reference: Acts 16:1-3; 2 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 3:14-15; 2 Timothy 4:5

Name Meaning: Eunice implies "conquering well," and was a name expressive of a good or happy victory and in its origin doubtless commemorated some such event. Nice or "nike" was a favorite ending of female names in the Macedonian age. Eunice lived up to her name for she conquered in the effort to bring up her son in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Family Connections: Eunice was the daughter of Lois whose name is of Greek origin. Scripture is silent as to the identity of her father. A Jew, Eunice married a Gentile, and as nothing is said of him it can be assumed that he was dead by the time Paul contacted the family.

Rebekah, Rebecca

The Woman Whose Favoritism Brought Sorrow

Scripture Reference: Genesis 22:23; Genesis 24; Genesis 25:20-28; Genesis 26:6-35; Genesis 27; Genesis 28:5; Genesis 29:12; Genesis 35:8; Genesis 49:31; Romans 9:6-16

Name Meaning: Rebekah is another name with an animal connection. Although not belonging to any animal in particular, it has reference to animals of a limited class and in a peculiar condition. The name means a "tie rope for animals" or "a noose" in such a rope. Its root is found in a noun meaning a "hitching place" or "stall" and is connected with a "tied-up calf or lamb," a young animal peculiarly choice and fat. Applied to a female, the figure suggests her beauty by means of which men are snared or bound. Thus another meaning of Rebekah is that of "captivating." If, then, Rebekah means "a noosed cord," the loop was firmly around Isaac's neck. When Isaac took her as his bride he forgot his grief for his dead mother, and lived happily with his wife for twenty years during which time they had no children.

Family Connections: Rebekah is first mentioned in the genealogy of the descendants of Nahor, Abraham's brother (Genesis 22:20-24). When the pilgrims set out from the Ur of the Chaldees, Nahor was one of the party, and settled down at Charran where Terah, his father, died. Among Nahor's sons was Bethuel who, by an unknown wife, became the father of Rebekah, the sister of Laban. Rebekah married Isaac the son of Abraham, by whom she had two sons, Esau and Jacob.
