MY SOLEMN VOW!

 MY SOLEMN VOW

by Jean Ayende Totanes on Friday, April 22, 2011 at 2:50pm ·

As a person, I acknowledge all the blessings GOD has been pouring into my life and has endowed me from the womb of my mom. 

As a person, it's my DUTY TO SERVE MY GOD NO MATTER WHAT LIFE MAY BRING TO ME AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO ME. 

It 's my SOLEMN VOW SINCE I WAS A CHILD TO FULFILL WHAT GOD HAS BEEN COMMANDING ME TO DO. 

I AM DEVOTED TO HIS WILL. AND THOUGH I AM UNWORTHY, I'M TRYING TO ALWAYS RENEW MY LIFE.

GOD, PLEASE BLESS ME TO BE WORTHY ALL THE TIME.

AMEN!

WHAT ARE FRIENDS?

A friend is someone who accepts me of who I am and what I am.

A friend is someone who understands me during my trying times. 

A friend is someone who doesn't add any stress or burden to me.

Thanks to all my friends who do understand me not ONLY in my trying times but ALL THE TIME! 

I am always here for this kind of friends. FOR THOSE WHO JUST NEED MY HELP AND ASSISTANCE DURING THEIR TRYING TIMES, BETTER GET OUT OF MY LIFE. YOU'VE GOTTA LEARN THAT THERE ARE TWO TO TANGO; AND THAT RECIPROCATION IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL FRIENDSHIP.

 To my ever loyal friends, I will be here for you FOREVER.

 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN?


Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin' for some time

When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water

I wannna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time

'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle,
fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah!

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

WHY AM I A CAPRICORN?

What's a CAPRICORN?

Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, represented by a goat with a fish's tail and extending from December 22 to January 19. Capricorn is classified as an earth sign, and its ruling planet is Saturn.

  It also means somebody born under Capricorn: somebody whose birthday falls between December 22 and January 19

  In astronomy, it is the constellation in southern hemisphere.

Capricorn Positive Traits:
1. Very resourceful but cautious. 

2. Tends to be very disciplined, reserved and cool under fire. 

3. Demonstrate a real ability to overcome most hardships that get in the way of pursuing ones ambition. 

4. Practical and prudent 

5. Ambitious and disciplined 

6. Patient and careful  

7. Humorous and reserved 

 Traits mentioned on this site are 100% me:

Capricorn's Negative Traits which I definitely disagree:

Capricorn Negative Traits
Has a tendency to be selfish which portrays a Capricorn as being unfeeling and calculating. Because of these traits Capricorns look for ways to soften their rigid emotions and tendencies to not show sensitivity toward others.
Pessimistic and fatalistic
Miserly and grudging.

MY REACTIONS:

BEG TO DISAGREE WITH THESE NEGATIVE TRAITS...THESE ARE NOT MINE...IF I WERE MISERLY, I COULD HAVE BEEN A MILLIONAIRE...I WISH I COULD BE AVARICIOUS.  

IF I WERE SELFISH I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR MORE FROM MY CLIENTS, SO I COULD EARN MORE. I WISH I COULD BE SELFISH.

I ALWAYS THINK OF OTHER PEOPLE'S CONCERN SO THE TENDENCY IS PEOPLE USUALLY CHEAT ME, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME. I WISH I COULD CHANGE MY ATTITUDE TO NOT TO HAVE CONCERN ABOUT OTHERS. 

I'M TIRED OF THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. I'M TIRED OF DEALING WITH CROOKED PEOPLE AND SELFISH ONES. I WANNA PUT AN END TO THIS. SO HELP ME GOD! 

IF I WERE PESSIMISTIC THEN I COULD HAVE NOT WON OVER DEATH. I SURVIVED A KIDNEY FAILURE WITHOUT UNDERGOING ANY DIALYSES, SURGERIES, AND MEDICATIONS. I TURNED TO GOD INSTEAD OF TRUSTING THE DOCTORS WHO TOLD ME THAT I HAD ONLY 50% OF SURVIVAL. COME TO THINK THAT I WAS BORN WITH A CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE. COULD I SURVIVE THAT KIND OF SITUATION WITH PESSIMISM?

I am 100% Capricorn!

SINGING PRAISES TO THE ALMIGHTY: A THERAPY

 

Singing is a talent which can be innate or not. It's a God-given talent or a pedagogically enhanced one.

Luckily, I have this God-given singing talent. If I can sing songs technically or beautifully, it's because my natural singing talent has been enhanced through joining the choir of the TRUE Church of Christ.

Singing songs of praises for GOD, my Father, is my life. I will die if I won't be singing in the choir loft. Singing songs of praises to the Almighty God is my ONLY THERAPY, wealth, and power. I receive spiritual blessings every time I perform my duties to Him.

I was very, very sick, and paralyzed. I was hospitalized in 2002. I was really ''vegetable''.  I just started walking disgracefully in December 2009. When I was dying of a renal failure and a congenital heart disease, I asked my GOD to give me another chance so I could still sing praises for Him. As I promised, I returned to the choir practice as I started to learn how to walk again in December 2009.

Because of regular attendance at practices and performances, I felt like I had been healed without any medical assistance and without any assistance from any doctors. Indeed, singing of hymns to the Almighty Father is my medicine, the ''authentic drugs'' that can cure all my degenerative diseases. It's a miracle that I am still alive, and that I can still please my Father, do His will, follow all His commandments, and give thanks unto Him through singing of praises.

Early morning tomorrow, I will wake up to prepare myself for the duty that I received from my Creator when I was only 5 years old. The truth is, I started singing when I was 2 years old. But when I was 5 years old, officers of the Seniors' Choir of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in Polillo, Quezon, Philippines, allowed me to sing with them in the choir loft. It's an amazing achievement at a very young age which I must not allow to be taken away.

To ease the pain I feel inside due to sicknesses, trials, sufferings, persecution, discrimination, and hardships, I need to ALWAYS sing praises unto GOD. Singing beautiful songs of praises to Him means a treatment of my sicknesses and the wounds of my heart.

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL EVEN IF YOU FEEL DISHEARTENED?

Expectation....one positive word...but gives a negative impact if the one who expects falls short of her own expectations.

It's good to have expectations in life. Expectations make us move and carry out our plans. It's the moving spirit within us. Life without hope is dull and boring. If we have lots of things to expect in our lives, we become alive and active.

But what if you fall short of your own expectations? What would you do? Would you take your own life? Would you feel like you are  so hopeless and cannot do anything to stand up and live again? Definitely, it is NOT  a good attitude.

Why not read this passage?

And feel within yourself that your strength comes from GOD, and that no matter what happens in life, you are going to continue what GOD wants you to do and what you plan for in accordance to the laws and commandments of the TRUE LIVING GOD.

I just read the passage and told these to myself. My feeling gets  much better now.
