Before my 2017 ends…

This year was full of blessings. Job opportunities, marriage, family reunion, church services… But, am I doing my all for the Lord? It was all half way, unfinished, left overs. As this year will be ending soon, I pray that I will be more proactive in serving my Lord. Also, as a wife, as a daughter, as a colleague, as a friend… No more half ways, no more unfinished business, no more left overs… Lord, guide me. Help me focus in Your will rather than mine, Your plans, Your decisions, Your grace. Thank You Lord for giving me year 2017 and as I start my 2018 soon, I couldn’t be more grateful of what You have for me.

Jeremiah 29:11 King James Version (KJV)

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Your promises are my comfort Oh Lord…

Ecclesiastes 3-11 (1)

Reboot!

cropped-img_72841.jpgIt’s been a while since I posted here. I’ve been busy with not so important things which is why I need to reboot. I need to breathe and pray and focus on God. My life after marriage is a blessing. Yes, there are ups and downs but we still find our way back in each other’s arms. However, I need to double time my relationship with God. I am passive in my service towards my ministry, I seldom do my personal Bible study. Being in a shift-work is really hard, but I won’t tell those kinds of excuses because as stated in Colossians 3:17 “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” I’m thinking of quitting nursing as soon as possible, but I need to learn other jobs first. I want to serve more in my church ministry. I want to win souls. I want to be a full time housewife and a mother. I want a home-based job… All these I pray in Jesus name, Amen!

My first Maternity shoot

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This was an indoor shoot. My colleague asked us (me and my teamcampwagi) to do her maternity shoot. I had difficulty in adjusting my settings since it was an indoor shoot, our source of light was the natural light from the window. The weather was cloudy that time so the light was really limited.

Gear: Nikon D5600

Lens: 18-140mm

Prayers

Lord, I pray today that I will be able to discipline myself in order for You to use me. That I will not exhaust myself in fulfilling Your will. That I will be able to enjoy serving You. I know sacrifices will be made, but it will be a sweet sacrifice. Lord, I pray for my ministry. I pray for our Pastor, for our church and our members, to make us the sheep you wanted us to be. Help us pursue obedience with all our hearts. Give us wisdom to soak our hearts with your words. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Art Attack

My colleague asked me to make this for her wedding. Well, she trusted me in spite of being an amateur still in calligraphy. Glad she loved it.

Our monogram! I had it made from an online seller. I designed it though and with the approval of my fiance, this will be our wax seal for our wedding invites 🙂

I never get an A during art class back when I was in elementary school. I was never artistic. I excelled in spelling contest, math & science quizzes… etc. But art? Never… It was just recently that I had a thing for calligraphy, watercolors, paints, photography… Maybe when you get older, when you experienced life at mid 20’s going 30’s, you tend to be more creative, more sense? and more appreciative.

?!%&*$#@

Nobody wants to be ridiculed against their own selves. You are you and you know yourself more than others do. Why would you let anyone tell you something that you’re not right? Self centered species, hypocrite creatures and false earthlings… these words best describe the people who doesn’t practice what they preach. Those people who speak highly of themselves and pretend that they are the blessed ones. Well, I don’t care anymore. We are all passers by in this world and there’s only one way for every one – up or down? I don’t feel anything today. Apathetic? Lazy? Carefree?
