New Home!

Please follow me at http://themanwhowrites.com/ for the latest blogs. I've migrated the Rich Life Series too, and added some more categories for you to read about. Blogger has been a very special home to me, but it also holds memories that at this point I need to veer away from. No, they are never forgotten. 

Life with Mochi, Ranting Hatter, these are special things I will always go back to, someday, when pain fades away. Meanwhile, let's enjoy lessons and realizations from the true lover of our soul. I write them down in this new home. 

Enjoy!

RICH LIFE SERIES: 7 | ROCK - BOTTOMS UP

We did not have something new to read yesterday. I don't know why it happened, but I just did a few mistakes here and there trying to chase what God has taken away from me. I was keeping a prayerful attitude, praying without ceasing, but I had certain moments when I got distracted and God was so clear in telling me it's the wrong way to go. How can I make my life fuller and richer when God has brought me down to rock bottom?

RICH LIFE SERIES: 6 | KEEP CALM

RICH LIFE SERIES: 6 | KEEP CALM

I was never a beach person, and in my 22 years of existence, I've never really travelled far on water. This long weekend, I decided to go with my HS friends to Puerto Galera, Mindoro, Philippines. The enjoyment I had with long-time friends and rekindle stories of friendship and immature pasts is another story, but for this Rich Life Series entry, we'll focus on the thoughts I had while riding the waves. :)

RICH LIFE SERIES: 5 | UNSPEAKABLE JOY

RICH LIFE SERIES: 5 | UNSPEAKABLE JOY

Happiness is a choice, they say.

In a terrible circumstance, how can you choose to be happy?

And will being happy save you from whatever it is you are going through?

We're not always happy. In a book written by Harold J. Sala (Paano Maging Joyfully Single), it is shared that we were just fully convinced that happiness is a goal that we can reach, and that if we have some things –– sometimes associated to power, richness, or achievements –– you will find that happiness.

Happiness is conditional, kapatid. 

Strong Enough! (Stacie Orrico)

Jesus Depiction from http://www.cocorioko.net/?p=26534

As I rest against this cold, hard wall
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war has just begun

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?

Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again?
If I'm healed, renewed and find forgiveness and find the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plan?

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?

He took my life into his hands and turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance
It's there I finally found

That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me
Oh Thank You for my chance to start again
