Ten Guidelines From God

Ten Guidelines From God

Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life.

These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life.

I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you.

Please,follow these 10 guidelines

1. QUIT WORRYING:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry.
Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you?
Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
Something needs done or taken care of.
Put it on the list.
No, not YOUR list.
Put it on MY to-do-list.
Let ME be the one to take care of the problem.
I can’t help you until you turn it over to Me.
And although My to-do-list is long, I am after all… God.
I can take care of anything you put into My hands.
In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:
Once you’ve given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back.
Trust in Me.
Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems
and your trials.
Problems with the kids?
Put them on My list.
Problem with finances?
Put it on My list.
Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For My sake, put it on My list.
I want to help you.
All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don’t wake up one morning and say, "Well, I’m feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here."
Why do you think you are feeling stronger now?
It’s simple.
You gave Me your burdens and I’m taking care of them.
I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace.
Don’t you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started?
Leave them with Me and forget about them.
Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME:
I want you to forget a lot of things.
Forget what was making you crazy.
Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I’m in control.
But there’s one thing I pray you never forget.
Please, don’t forget to talk to Me - OFTEN!
I love YOU!
I want to hear your voice.
I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life.
I want to hear you talk about your friends and family.
Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me.
I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up here that you can’t see from where you are.
Have faith in Me that I know what I’m doing.
Trust Me; you wouldn’t want the view from My eyes.
I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs.
You only have to trust Me.
Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part.
How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE:
You were taught to share when you were only two years old.
When did you forget?
That rule still applies.
Share with those who are less fortunate than you.
Share your joy with those who need encouragement.
Share your laughter with those who haven’t heard any in such a long time.
Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry.
Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences.
You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many
times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much.
How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list?
Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect.
Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND:
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you.
They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all.
Please try to get along, for My sake.
I created each of you different in some way.
It would be too boring if you were all identical.
Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself?
You were created by me for one reason only — to be loved, and to love in return.
I am a God of Love.
Love Me.
Love your neighbors.
But also love yourself.
It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong.

You are very precious to me.
Don’t ever forget……

Valentine's Day quotes What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined… to strengthen each other… to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
      ~ George Eliot

Valentine's Day quotes   In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
      ~ Mignon McLaughlin

Image   For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.
      ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Image There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
      ~ Mother Teresa

Image   Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another’s heart, or its flame burns low.
      ~ Henry Ward Beecher

Image   Treasure the love you receive above all.  It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
      ~ Og Mandino

Image   The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
      ~ Pearl S. Buck

Image   Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.
      ~ Marguerite De Valois

Image   All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.
      ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Image   Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time:  effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
      ~ Germaine De Stael

Image   Love is the history of a woman’s life; it is an episode in man’s.
      ~ Germaine De Stael

Image   The loving are the daring.
      ~ Bayard Taylor

Image   Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible.
      ~ Mother Teresa

Image   The only gift is a portion of thyself.
      ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Image   The best portion of a good man’s life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts, of kindness and of love.
      ~ William Wordsworth

Image   Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
      ~ Robert Browning

Image   Love is a thing, well, its kind of like quicksand:  The more you are in it, the deeper you sink.  And when it hits you, you’ve just got to fall.
      ~ UB40

Image   Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.
      ~ Felix Adler

Image   Think about it, there must be higher love Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine.
      ~ Steve Winwood

Image   Love is an electric blanket with somebody else in control of the switch.
      ~ Cathy Carlyle

Image   Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.
      ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Image   Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring of fiction and love.
      ~ Benjamin Disraeli

Image   Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
      ~ Leo Buscaglia

Image   Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes. There’s too much fraternizing with the enemy.
      ~ Henry Kissinger

Image   To laugh often and love much… to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one’s self… this is to have succeeded.
      ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Image   Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
      ~ Lao Tzu

Image   The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
      ~ Jacques Benigne Bossuel

Image   Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others’ love to us.
      ~ Thomas Trahern

Image   Love is always bestowed as a gift — freely, willingly, and without expectation….
We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.
      ~ Leo Buscaglia

 
Image   It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.
      ~ William Thackeray

Image   Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
      ~ Fulton J. Sheen

Image   We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
      ~ Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

Image   Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.
      ~ Elbert Hubbard

Image   The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
      ~ Victor Hugo

Image   There is no instinct like that of the heart.
      ~ Lord Byron

Image   We are all born for love… it is the principle existence and it’s only end.
      ~ Disraeli

Image   To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
      ~ Bertrand Russell, Earl Russell

Image   We can only learn to love by loving.
      ~ Iris Murdoch

Image   May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive,which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.
      ~ L.O. Baird

Image   Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor.
      ~ Mother Teresa

Image   The dedicated life is the life worth living. You must give with your whole heart.
      ~ Anne Dillard

Image   Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
      ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

Image   You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
      ~ Sam Keen

Image   What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
      ~ Henry Ward Beecher

Image   Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
      ~ Franklin P. Jones

Image   The truth [is] that there is only one terminal dignity-love.  And the story of a love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
      ~ Helen Hayes

butterfly kisses

January 10th, 2006 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne

Butterfly Kisses

There’s two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she’s Daddy’s little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all…

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony Daddy, it’s my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried
Oh with all that I’ve done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today
She’s looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember…

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
You know how much I love you Daddy, but if you don’t mind
I’m only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time.
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time,
Oh, like the wind the years go by.
Precious butterfly,
Spread your wings and fly.

She’ll change her name today.
She’ll make a promise, and I’ll give her away.
Standing in the brideroom just staring at her
She asks me what I’m thinking, and I said I’m not sure.
I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl,
And she leaned over…

Gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it’s just about time.
Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?
Daddy, don’t cry.
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must of done something right.
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses,
I couldn’t ask God for more, than this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember…
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses.

a wedding song

January 10th, 2006 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne

hay naku andami dami k0ng kakilalang ikakasal ngayong taon. nakakagulat yun pa man ding hindi namin ini-expect na ikakasal agad, sila pa yung ikakasal… my gosh, what’s happening?

hehehe wala lang… basta wish ko lang wag muna ako…  sabagay, wala nman pala akong juyabis kaya no problemo hehehe :D

GOD BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD- RASCALL FLATTS

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

With you i’m born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don’t you know, with you I’m born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there’s you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I’m born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I’ll find this
Woman, don’t you know, with you I’m born again
Lying safe with you I’m born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don’t you know, with you I’m born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there’s you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I’m born again
Woman, don’t you know, with you I’m born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I’ll find this
Woman, don’t you know, with you I’m born again
Lying safe with you I’m born again

tinamaan ako grabe…

— makarelate na kung sinong makarelate. i didnt write this stuff (you’ll obviously figure out why…) i dont even know who wrote this eh… but obviously this was written by a man. it was sent to me thru email i found it nice (although it is… sooo sad…) so i sent it also to you… hoping you’d find it nice (me pagkac0rny nga lang. tutal c0rny din nman ako. hehehe pero in fairness, this cud really happen di ba…) so… just read on…. —–

To tell you honestly, I don’t remember how you look like. I can only remember certain aspects like your smile, and the feel of your hand on my back. But I do remember, so very well, the sound of your voice, your musical laughter, and sadly, even the distant and angry tone of your voice as we neared our goodbyes.

Maybe I’ll never forget you. Maybe I’ll never live down the fact that I had you-but I let you go. Was it that, or was it that I had you, but I did not work hard, did not fight hard enough to make you stay? I don’t know. I don’t want to think, and I don’t believe that now is the time to rationalize about these things. Because the truth of the matter is, you’re gone.

I hate living this life, knowing that I’ll be thinking of these "what ifs" for the rest of my life. I hate wishing that I could turn back time , so that I could correct all my mistakes, took all the risks I should have taken, and reached for your hand when you held it out for me. But it’s too late for that, and it’s not even plausible anyway.

I can’t help but wonder, once in a while, how you’re doing. I wonder if you’re happy, or if some lucky creature is making you happy. I wonder if you still think of me, or even just remember that I exist. Because I think of you. Every single day, against my will, against my better judgment. I’ve fooled myself long enough to believe that you’re not important in my life, not essential to my existence. I’m tired of my own masquerade. I just want to acknowledge the fact that yes, you have touched my life, even if I have acknowledged this too late.

A lot of people say, "There are many fishes in the sea." They weren’t lying. I found that out myself after we separated ways. I dated like hell when you said goodbye, trying to numb myself from the pain, trying to ignore the emptiness that was left with the vacuum that you created in my life. But you know what? At the end of the day, it was still you. I couldn’t find the special spark that I found in you, not even in better-looking or funnier or smarter or richer girls. They didn’t have the magic that you had. They couldn’t make my insides melt with a smile. They couldn’t ease away all my pains with a call. Simply put, they were not you. Yes, they were many, but none of them was you.

You know what? Because of you, I promised myself a few things. I promised myself that I would never be afraid to fall or get hurt. I promised myself that I would take risks, seize opportunities, and conquer my fears. I promised myself that I would never settle for anything less than butterflies. I used to believe that when you lose someone, you’ll get a chance to meet them again.

I used to believe in second chances. Losing you has taught me that there are no second chances in life. When you meet someone, and you are given that chance to change their lives, you have to take hold of that opportunity, because that is the only chance you’ve got. You have your chance, and that’s it. You have to make the most out of it, and then let go when it’s time. People come and go, and you have to live with it.

I constantly have to remind myself that you’ve done your part in my life. You taught me the lesson you came to teach, so you have to leave . I have to move on. I shouldn’t wait. But I can’t help it.

God, I miss you so much…

"LORD…. i tRuSt YOU t0 bReaK me aNd mAkE mE wh0Le aGaiN…"

The story of my heart…

Hearts_floating_around_heart_lg_wht

I have loved some persons before, one at a time, more than a friend
But then I’ve only been hurt, one at a time, these persons broke my heart.

Once I have loved som1 who tirelessly picked up the pieces of my broken heart
I have loved him truly for he loved me for myself only.
The love we shared was a love with no pretensions
It was true, it was real and I thought it would never cease.

But he’s gone now, he left me in d dark I picked up my broken heart 1s again
And tried to make a brand new start, without him, only me.

I loved somebody else, after him, and hoped he’d love me too
But the love I had was left unrequited, it was quite heartbreaking
I found out that this person loved someone, a friend of my own
Though it was heart-wrenching I took the pain, over-looked the ‘rain’

Again I picked up the pieces of my broken heart slowly I began making a brand new start
I loved somebody else, and just to be sure, someone I knew who’d never love me.

I loved him from afar, careful so he will not know
Yet I just realized one day that it wasn’t love I was feeling
I learned that he had a girlfriend and that they loved each other
Before, I would really be jealous I was surprised to find out I was not jealous, not at all

There was a time when somebody loved me, but I was so stupid
Afraid of falling in love again, I let the love, his love die in vain
His love for me is long gone, and I don’t feel sorry for myself anymore
I was unfair to him, I know. I realize that now, it’s too late though.

He’s with somebody else now, but I can say he still cares for me
He always asks me how am I, and I honestly tell him “I’m okay.”
Its much better coz were just friends now
The tension is gone, were both OK, and it’s not a lie I am all right.

– then i met HIM the man who i thought would be my last
my friends even told me that finally i have met my match
but we were wrong… so wrong…
he turned out to be another mistake in my love life… another “medal” on my heartbreak list

but i dont regret ever meeting him…
what i regret is the time i wasted waiting for something, for someone… for him…
i regret some of the choices ive made… for i lost a real love in exchange of a sham…

the hurt he’s given me was so powerfully intense…
i was so hurt i couldnt even make myself despise him for what he has done to me
he asked for forgiveness and i gave it to him
i told him im okay despite of the fact that i was not…

i would admit, that loving him was the greatest stupidity ive ever committed…
a stupidity that lasted for so long… because i allowed it to…
a stupidity that has made me so gullible for a long while…
a stupidity im glad ive finally started to get myself over of…

im presently teaching myself to learn to stand up from that terrible fall
and when the time comes that im fully recovered
i can finally stand proud and say,
“gone through that before but now i am over you!”

Right now, I hear someone knocking on my heart
I don’t know if I’m ready to get into a relationship again
But I’m giving him a chance to prove his love for me.
Now, I’m not afraid to love again…
And if he’s worth my love, then I’ll gladly love him
With all my heart, no holds barred.
