Fathers Day!

Father: a role model who gives the gifts of guidance and wisdom while learning how to stretch his ability to love beyond what he knew was possible. - dictionary

Daddy, Papa, Itay , Ama, Dad, Erpat what else? for those Fathers out there, we are so proud of you! There's no greater love by a father to his children. The provider, guardian, adviser, friend and comforter. How he struggles just to watch us sleep and to make sure that we are always away from harm. Just think of those days when we're kids, he used to play and laugh with us even though all of the stories we're telling doesn't make any sense to them, but they are listening. I can still remember telling my father about my ambition to become a super hero someday, I used to watch Bioman and Maskrider Black way back then. I want to be like them, I want to ride a motorcycle just like a real super hero trying to save the earth and guess what? A day before my birthday, my father bought me a bike as a birthday present with a note "for the future superhero of the world!" I can't explain the joy in my heart but one thing I didn't notice, that He is more merrier than me looking at me doing some crazy stuff trying to become one of the savior of the earth. He will do everything just to make us happy, if he can only provide everything to us.

Just like our Heavenly father He will do everything for us, He gave His only begotten son for us to be saved - John 3:16. But most of us don't appreciate that kind of love from our Father, the unconditional love he gave. Just like me before. I didn't care for his feelings because I have the things that makes me happy and I don't even care to give thanks and tell him how much I love him. Life doesn't come with an instruction book; that's why we have fathers. They want us to walk in the right path of our life's journey. Just seeing him handle our family and working so hard just to finance our needs and studies; and also most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother. I witnessed how my father loved my mom, how he comfort her caress her. Being a father is not easy, one day; hopefully, sooner I will become a father also and I want to be just like him . So, just want to let the whole world know how grateful I am to have a father like you. Happy fathers day Pa.

DESTINY OR CHOICE?

"All share a common destiny–the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them." Ecclesiastes 9:2

Many of us is asking is it our destiny?, or it was just my wrong decision? A question many of us are trying to figure out. Are we really meant for each other? Why we encounter bad things when we are doing good? I used to asked the same questions that are playing on your mind.

I just want to tell you that we cannot comprehend and grasp the wisdom of our Creator.

”And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.

We have one destiny to live in this world but the only choice is in us whether to follow Him or not. Every decisions we make are subject to many consequences.
Our choice is the most common factor that affects our lives because we believe in our own understanding. We believe that we can make it on our own. I don’t need anybody, but I want to tell you the truth that people need the LORD. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14. Tragedy happens to our lives country and family, but God is asking us to be humble and seek Him. What will be your actions will lead to your success or fall. In this verse try to meditate " We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall." - Proverbs 16:33.
Fate they say is uncontrollable things, but God allow things to happen even to His children. ”A person who has an easy life has no appreciation for misfortune. He thinks it is the fate of those who slip up." - Job 12 : 5

I just want you to remember the life of our beloved Job. Yes, he encountered the very worst of life nothing was left for him, even his true friends persecuted him asking him to repent for his sin. He allow bad things to happen in order for us to come to Him to remind us and to talk to Him. “Hey my son I will never leave you nor forsake you and I love you”, before the world began you are the only thing that matters to HIM.

One of my favorite great hero in the Bible is Joseph the dreamer who’s destiny is to become the governor of Egypt and made a choice to follow God’s will so that the fulfillment of God’s plan will come to a fulfillment.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Jeremiah 29:11 Remember this always my friend.

BROKEN STRING

You can't play a broken string and you can't feel anything.It can't produce a good sound or melody once there is a broken string. The reason for that untuned sound is the incomplete set of string, it works as a set or a group. Once the other string is untuned or broken it will give you a very disgusting sound and its not a melody or a music anymore. Its a noise already and its not very pleasant to the ear. Every string has its own purpose and tone, the 6th string cant produce a sound like the 2nd string. Therefore, everyone is important. The oneness and cooperation of each string is important and badly needed in order to produce a heavenly melody. In playing and listening to music you must have a heart, and adopt the ambiance of the song. A musician can determine if there is something wrong with his instrument or when it is untuned,A musician has a sensitive hearing ability, and right away he will fix that broken string and play a lovely melody again.

BE STILL

When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm.Father You are King over the floods and I will be still know You are God.Hide me now under Your wings, cover me within Your mighty hands. What a great comfort and assurance we have in His side. There a lot of people struggling and running away from their fears and waves of problems.This still means comes from the Hebrew term raphah. Paul encourages us to reflect on what God can do in the face of what we are unable to do.Let just face it that we are finite and God is infinite. We must be like children willing to humble ourselves and ask His protection and comfort in times of needs. He will never leave us nor forsake us that's a promise that we need to claim.We need also to practice our faith and trust.You don't have to worry for the future for the future will worry for itself. Even the world will come to an end and the stars falls from the sky, just be still and let Him show you what he can do for you. Know that he is God!He is our God. He is the ruler of kingdoms of this earth and the all-powerful Creator of the Universe. Be still. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

MOUNTAINS

A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak.
Before the mountains are formed they undergo a long and painful process. They are the strongest form of land, that cannot be easily removed from the phase of the earth.I think every man's dream is to climb at least one mountain. I dreamed about that also, I want to see the view from the top when you can see anything around you. It feels like you already conquer the world. I want to be just like them strong,full of minerals and resources. They are willing to give and provide everything. It also symbolize burdens and obstacle that we need to overcome but when you overcome it you can feel the glory of victory and success. I believe a seed of faith can move mountains.

You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth.
Wayne Newton

CLOUDS

I love beautiful clouds formation. It gives me comfort and peace of mind every time I saw it.There are a lot of cloud types Cumulus,Stratus,Cirrus and Cumulonimbus. My favorite type of clouds is the Cumulus, In Latin, this means "heap." Cumulus clouds look like a heap of cotton balls or whipped cream.It looks like cotton candy also, and I love it.When I was a child I dream of putting some clouds in the bottle, but when I learned about science during my elementary years. I found out that clouds are water. As we all know we can find water in three forms: liquid,solid and gas.Clouds form when water vapor turns back into liquid water droplets.
We can also predicts the weather just by looking at the sky and trying to observe the clouds you can guess what kind of weather they will bring.It also provides shade to us, covering us from the direct heat of sunlight. Just another wonderful creation that we need to acknowledge and give thanksgiving to our Creator.

SNOW

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." I have never seen snow and do not experience what winter means. I'm working on a snow scene right now, and it's summer. It's hot, and I will get chilly. I'll have to turn on the heat. Heat for my passion and goal. I don't want to end up like Mr.Snowman doing nothing just standing at the middle of the snow. How I wish I can touch and feel the softness of the snow.Like the ice and fire the touch of it burns my hands like snow.

RAIN

"Rain drops are falling on my head".Just another famous lyrics of a song. I really appreciate the rain especially this season of summer, where temperature reaches 35°C. I love to walk and dance with the rain, drink some hot chocolate and chat with my family and friends. Memories of the rain will always be treasured in my mind and heart. How it drops, and make a noise on a thin roof, and the cold breeze of the air. When it rains it falls it washes all the sadness and loneliness away. The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

LIGHTNING

As i went outside a bright line flash into the sky from one cloud to another. Vivid flash of light from heaven to earth. Then thunder follows produced by the electricity passing rapidly through the atmosphere. Most of the time we feel the fear because of the loud and roaring noise.It also indicates the power of God: The power of God is shown in His command of the forces of Nature, and He is the only one who knows the secrets of Nature: "He made .... a way for the lightning".From east to west i just want to capture every moment of lightning.
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.

SUNSET

I love the view of the sunset, the orange color of the sky with the shades of gray. They says sunset indicates the close of an important event in your life. This could relate to an event or of a physical condition. It is a period of rest, renewal, and evaluation.To see the Sunset can also indicate joys and wealth passing their zenith, and warns you to care for your interests with renewed vigilance. It really doesn't matter whats the meaning of this sunset one thing I know and admire God's creation and wonders are unfathomable.
