so true...

I've learned that in truth, we don't want our loved ones to show their love for us in big ways. Swimming the widest oceans,crossing the deepest rivers, and climbing the highest mountains seem spectacular - but that's not what we really want. Deep in our hearts, we just want them home. With us.

Sometimes, God will operate that way. Suddenly, He decides not to answer our prayers, or fill our need, or heal our sickness, or give us the miracle we're asking for. (He's got reasons why He won't, and believe me - they're
pretty good ones.) So He'll just be there beside you, holding you in a hug.

Sharing your pain. Weeping as you weep. And that small comfort from Him will be more than enough to sustain
you. Because the most essential truth you already know.

.home.

it's okay to say no

mantra for the new sem:

just say NO.

may i be reminded of this at all times, especially when the offer is so delectable and refusing is just hard. may i be reminded that there are a lot more things to prioritize, and that i have my own direction to lead.

i have decided, i know what to do, and i know what to say.

naku... help me God. Amen.
