His Ways and Thoughts are Higher than Ours

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, said the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Have you ever questioned why things did not come in your way? Do you ever felt like life is unfair whenever you tried so hard in reaching your goals and yet nothing happened? I did.

I dreamed, acted and failed, though not most of the time. There are things I really want to have or do but even though I tried as much as I could, I just could not get through it. The harder I push the hardest I fall down. No matter how good my ways are still it’s not enough. And then I end up with why?

God gave us the gift of freewill. For us to choose which way we want to go and use it to follow His path. But we are humans; oftentimes we forgot His greatest intention. We tend to do self centered things toward our dreams. We forgot that things are uncertain. We may come this way yet its end is not the way we planned it to be.

God remind us in Isaiah 55: 8-9, His ways and thoughts are greater than ours. We might want this in our lives but our Creator has something way better than this. Yes, He gave us the freedom to choose but He loves us so much that He wants nothing but all the good things for us. He never leaves us in planning and reaching our dreams. And He is there to tell us that not all things we think are right for us are really the right things for us.

So let us start living in His ways, because one thing is for sure God’s ways never fails. Let us continue renewing our dreams with Him as long as we live. For in Him all things are possible as long as we walk through this life with Him.

Go Dream, Act and Win with GOD!

God grant me the Serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And Wisdom to know the difference.

Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona #JuliElmo

It is not easy to become a fan, especially if you are just an ordinary one. No connection to Network's management or anything that could provide you a VIP pass. But what keep us going or should I say what keeps me going…

Her! Julie Anne San Jose. I really admire Japs. Her talent just knocks me down and her humble heart always bring smile to everyone that likes her. I love seeing people over social networks so happy talking about her. And there support for her is overwhelming.


When Blazy Lano, who was a complete stranger, posted on Facebook that JAps was scheduled to perform for GMA Kapuso's Araw ng Dabaw Celebration, I dropped my character and said, "I will watch her performed". By then Blazy became a friend and we had an eyeball a few hours before Japs performance. Along with her is her friend Pao, who made the poster for JULIELMo. We thought that we are the only "adikz" who insanely want to see Japs and Moe. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon but there were already a crowd waiting for the show to start. And the worst of it we do not have VIP pass to get a good and comfortable spot. As I have said we were just ordinary fans.

We were desperate to irritate the GMA's promo girls just to let us get inside. Luckily they were looking for players for the games they prepared. From then on we met the other group of pretty girls who were rooting for Elmo Magalona. I will never forget how I met these girls, I remembered Marjorie saying to the irritated promo girl, "Ate sila din papasukin mo ha…”. Wow, JuliElmo Magic, bringing together complete strangers addicts.

Ok, fast forward. We were able to get inside as players and we almost fainted. The waiting hours made us realized; our friends somewhere in the crowd or just passing by will see us on stage...it is so embarrassing, getting on stage, seeing your face in the big screen and seeing yourself over the local television when that event gets televised, especially when you lied or never told them you will be rooting for your favorite artist. Oh, how I wish they will edit it and erase traces of me.

After a long wait we've seen Japs and Moe performed. My demurred instant friends who were fine and proper transformed to something so exhausting. Shouts, bumping, excitement, overflowing love, laughs all mixed up and rocked the atrium. Good thing my camera handle was intact and my arms have fats...


I was not able to concentrate on their performances since I was busy getting video. But I saw JAPS and Moe performed and how they made their audience went GAGA on them. After everything had happened I realized I did not get a chance to have picture with Japs. I was not able to touch her even though she was so close to me. I just failed…


But that did not break my heart. She showed the bracelet I made for her to the public and said thank you. Thanks much Blazy!


That was enough. No, it was more than enough because I met new friends. I saw how people of Davao love Japs and JuliElmo. She sang live and they were like GOOSEBUMPS. Oh, Elmo was excellent too.
Sure it was not an easy experience but my first time will definitely not a last time. March 16, 2011 was an awesome experience for someone who thought that falling in line with a mob just to see the artists you admire is crazy. I tried something I did not do before and out of the usual environment I am with. I guess, that made me a certified Julienatics and a JULIELMO addict.

My faith in Japs talent and her humble heart to touch and inspire people keeps me going. I will forever be a proud fan…

Poetry: "If you can dream – and not make dreams your master..."

IF

Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!
