FUTURE GLORY (Romans 8:18-30)

last night, i was so tired and i really like to study pa sana but the soul is willing the body is weak... then i was reading the bible and i read His words... and it really lifted my spirits...reflect on it

The Future Glory

18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children,[j] including the new bodies he has promised us. 24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope[k] for it. 25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers[l] in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[m] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

on the side of me by corrine may

I’m not the easiest person to loveI’m often the one who lets things go unresolved
Yet you choose to beOn the side of meOn the side of meYet you choose to beOn the side of meOn the side of me
I’m not too proud of some thingsI’ve done in my lifeThe skeletons in my closetAre too big for me to hide
Yet you choose to beOn the side of meOn the side of meBlessed CharityYou’re on the side of meOn the side of me
‘Cause everyone needs a friend to holdWhen it’s cold outsideAnd there’s no place to goI remember when nobody caredBut you
I’m not the easiest person to loveBut you, you’ve opened your heart to show me what I’m worth
‘Cause you choose to beOn the side of meOn the side of meWhat a mysteryYou’re on the side of meOn the side of me
‘Cause everyone needs a friend to holdWhen it’s cold outsideAnd there’s no place to goEveryone needs a friend to holdAll alone I criedThere was no place to go
I remember when nobody caredI remember when nobody caredNobody caredBut you
Yeah you choose to beOn the side of meOn the side of me

blast from the past, back to the future

last nyt, my sister and i had the chance to bond( as if hindi palagi!) anyway, yesterday kc i was supposed to use my own tape for recording the meeting for the minute here in office but then when i listened to the tape ive realized that it was my sister's tape (her singing the songs...)

we listened to the tape last nyt that's when we realized that those were the songs that i have written way back like two to three years ago! it was really funny coz my sister's interpretation of the songs was good. Some of it is even really radio friendly.! i mean haller! nauna pa pala kami kay yeng at sa iba pang singer!

ofourse we decided to keep it! we titled the tape T2 (dont touch, dont trash!) ang commercialized di ba?!

she also showed me some of her works! and we really started to laugh not because it was bad but because its actually good and with this nice wordings!

then we started making kwento hala di na nga ako nakaaral gaano kakatawa! actually di na nga ako inaantok at nawala ang antok ko kakatawa! we both graduated in gradeschool and highschool in the same schools and almost the same teachers...so natural, lahat ng pinaggagagwa nila esp nung gradeschool eh ginawa ko din! she showed me this essay we didi back grade six... ung bang magsusulat k ng what will happen in the future ung sa palagay mo o gusto mo! nawala n nga ung ganun ko! we'll she was able to keep hers. Usually, maski ung sakin,,,pag ganun ung matatalino naming classmate eh nagiging criminals pagdating sa future at ung mga pasaway ang successful. syempre ganun din ako, ako ung writer eh...that's the future according to my views! and mind you ung sa sis ko the future's date is 2011 eh 3 years from now kaya yun! hahaha so malamang ung sakin 2010 or around 2008 un! hala feeling ko wala pang natupad dun! super exagerrated ung sa sister ko kaya tawa kami ng tawa!

masyado ring positive ung future condition ng Phils. dun...(usually ganun un!) di nga sya realistic kc di ba when u talk about wat u want in the future ofkors its usually better and hopeful di ba! hindi namin naisip ung super inflationary effect sa mundo!

i even told my sis wala atang gumawa na anging pangit ang future nya...naisip klo tuloy gumawa ng ganun pero dapat pangit na at the end my lesson din...

id probably make one here at the blog ung positive at negative future pero ung mas realistic at mas malapit suiguro!

we really dont hold of our future nor our life we just have to submit it to the high above!

ngapala i also did a poem for her entitled FLOWN AWAY and it was indeed good...ayaw nya lang bigay sakin ung copy but i'll have it post here when i have time!

half good deed

i did a good deed last mon its just that i just considered it as half and incomplete and im not so proud of it! kainis... i could ve done more but i was limited or limit myself. i helped a blind man but i dont know wehere he is now! duh!!!

SO TOTOO NGA!

You have been putting the needs of other people ahead of your own for far too long.
Overview
Pay close attention to your dreams tonight -- if you remember them, that is! You may spot a clue or two that offer insights into your current work or home situation and that can make the difference.

there's this saying(?) na if a guy/husband is sweeter or nicer to his wife or girlfriend, he might be having other relationship with other girl/s...

well, mukhang totoo nga ito, yesterday ung dati naming neighbor told us their story (of her husband ofcourse!) waah! kaya pala ang sweet nya eh may paramour na pla for six years! i knew it and so my sister too!!! hahaha tsinismiss ung kapitbahay!

song for the moment...

i really love the lyrics and the message of the song

real girl by mutya buena

If I had one chance to
Live my life again
I wouldn't make no changes

Now or way back then, yeah
And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes
But I can't wait to find out
What it is that I know

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You got what you see when you see what I got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world,
I'm not a little girlI know exactly who I am

Nothing's ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
I would put my mind at ease and go

So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Trying to catch a falling star, yeah

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something
I'm notYou got what you see when you see what I got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else'
Cause this is the real world,
I'm not a little girlI know exactly who I am

Baby, this is who I am
I don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It won't be long 'til you know about me

'Cause I don't give up
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everything is just how it should be
And it won't be long 'til you know about me

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You got what you see when you see what I got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You got what you see when you see what I got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
