Daily Dose of Message from God (10/06/2009)

by Lorelei on Oct.06, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal

Today, God wants me to know that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes me.

You’ve got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you’ve been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn’t work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.

Help Others By Giving Them Hope

by Lorelei on Oct.01, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal

I misunderstood myself when I said I needed to help others in a way wherein cash is necessary. It was just yesterday when I realized that helping them doesn’t have to start in starting our own foundation. I was thinking how can I help if I have nothing.. but it never occurred to me that I am already helping others by giving them hope and updating them about their families and love ones here in the Philippines. I never thought that a little something to share is already a big help for them..

I’ve gained new friends through this time of difficulty and I started to care for them; for how they feel while their love ones struggles in the midst of a disaster; for how lonely they are right now and so worried about their families back home.

And so this coming Saturday, I will try and do my best to reach the location of some of my new friends’ families and love ones. I will try to help them by giving them good news. And though I may not be able to fulfill everyones wish, I will not stop helping others and so to share my blessings.

Prayer For Calamity

by Lorelei on Sep.26, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal

For those who are in difficult situation right now, I pray for them. I pray for my families and yours. Let tomorrow be a brighter day for all of us.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
Psalm 33:18, 19; Psalm 103:8.

Loving Saviour Jesus,

A single word from You can protect us from every perilous calamities since by Your word alone, the heavens, the earth and all living creatures were made. As the Bible says, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man and in princes”, I trust only in You Lord. Your word says, “those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” I once again acknowledge that You who made a way for Your people through the Red Sea, You who stopped the rains for three years, You who rebuked the storms and walked on the sea, You are present today with the same authority and power to save us from this calamity.

Lord, if there be any unconfessed sin in my life, I confess them all to You and Lord, please forgive them for me. Help me to stand firm in You and to live a life pleasing to You hereafter. Wash me with Your blood that the sin may not be an obstacle for You to save me in this critical hour. Keep me as the apple of Your eye and build a hedge around me. You have promised, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

Father, I know that Your righteous right hand will protect us and keep us all safe from every disaster as You are our refuge and ever-present help in times of trouble. I praise You and thank You for Your loving-kindness.

Amen.

To Share My Blessings

by Lorelei on Sep.24, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal

After 6 months of silence, I decided to update this site again. But, right now I am sharing a wonderful thought to my readers.

Last night, when I couldn’t get a sleep, I had this feeling of wanting to help others who are in need. Of course, everybody need something, but I am talking about the Filipino families who are so miserable in life. I am not rich but I’ve been blessed every day and even the time when I didn’t have a job, God never failed to shower me His blessings through my family and friends. And now I wanted to pass it on to others. Though this is not really new to me that for so long I wanted to celebrate my birthday giving out goods to needy people, it’s just that I wasn’t prepared yet. And so this day, I decided to add a new meaning into my life…

Spare Time + Beads = Possible Extra Income

by User ImageLorelei on Mar.07, 2009, under Do-It-Yourself, Extra Income, Fun and Entertainment, Personal, blogging

I am one of the many moms who happens to love working with beads and other crafts. Though, I am not that active for so long, I am a beader myself.

Way back on my HS days when I love to accessorized myself, I tend to make my own beaded jewelries. I am no expert compared to others but I was able to make the jewelries I envisioned. I used to make one for my friends too.

Anyway, just about 11 days ago, I decided to relive my past hobby — beading. Again, it’s just for my own personal accessories, which I can make during my spare time, up until I was advised by a friend to sell it anyways… … … * After minutes of realization * … … … “Why not? I think I can make my own and sell it out in the market, just like other beaders do.” It’s not gonna be easy but I think I can work it out, slowly.

So, what’s spare time + beads? A possible extra income for me! :)

Baby Got Back

by User ImageLorelei on Mar.06, 2009, under !Enzo, Personal, blogging

After a few weeks of non-existence (hehe), I am now back at my original pace..

Been sick for a while.. got a sty in my right eye. I think I was able to share it somehow. But, I’m ok now.

Took care of sick little Enzo too.. He was soooo sick again from Feb.10 to atleast a week after that.. His temperature reached 40° Celsius.. On and Off fever during days and nights. We had to rushed him at the nearest hospital’s ER too.. The verdict after he’s been discharge and tested was a bacterial infection.. But then again during that time we can’t be certain because we’ve seen signs and symptoms of Kawasaki Disease on him. And honestly, I am still into these thoughts. Enzo’s hands and feet started to peel off in large pieces, just last week. It is yet another sign of the disease, which according to my research can’t be prevented….. Well, Enzo’s doing great now! And, I am happy! Very thankful to God that he’s a happy baby boy again!

I miss writing in my so-called blog (hehe). Though I am not a good blogger, I love sharing things here. Sometimes, I am relieved when I write about things that I can’t really talk about in person. Of course, I have friends, but sometimes a stranger can give you a totally good opinion about what you’re experiencing.

Painful Sty

by User ImageLorelei on Feb.09, 2009, under Health Matters, Health and Personal Care, Personal

My fifth day of having a sty. And another day out of the office..:(

I won’t say that this is unusual to me because as far as my family members (and me) can remember I’ve the same painful sty last year just about the same season. Though I’m not really sure of last year’s cause, now I’m pretty sure it has something to do with stress. Rushing on editing our whole year photos for two days is kind of stressful especially if you’re rushing for the Printing Exhibit, which only happens once a year.

Now, my right eye is still kindly swollen and it really hurts especially if touched. It’s itchy.. It’s red.. And it’s just not normal.. But I’d say that it’s better than yesterday. So, thanks to Cloxacillin and Maxitrol! Hehehe..

Best Remedy For Fever

by User ImageLorelei on Jan.22, 2009, under !Enzo, Do-It-Yourself, Health Matters, Health and Personal Care, Personal, blogging

Because Enzo had a high fever for two days, I decided to do some research on what options do i have in lowering a high temperature. Of course, there are things which are very well known to us like taking medicines, drinking lots of water, plenty of rest and using cold towels as a fast-acting remedy to fever. But do you know that aside from TLC (tender loving and care).. Egg Whites by far is the best remedy in lowering a high temperature?
