Changes
Changes can never happen overnight. It undergoes a process; it is actually a process, sometimes long and sometimes just in a pretty short time. There are changes that results in good or bad. Some change not noticing that they have already changed, some change because they have done it on purpose. But whatever changes that may be, it’s still change and nothings going to change that fact.
I always remember the saying that, “the only thing that is constant in the world is change”. That fact is already proven a long time before I was born, and even I can never change it. I looked up in the dictionary on what does the word constant means, and it says there, constant is continually recurring; persistent. A thing that is unchanging and invariable.” Even in the meaning of “constant” the word “change” was still mentioned there. Now I looked up for the meaning of change—I mean I don’t even know if you still need to know the meaning of it, but anyway for those who doesn’t know the meaning of it, here is your chance to know what it means. “Change is to be or cause to be different, the act, process or result of changing.” Even though the word “constant” was not there, there was this word that I mentioned at the first part, that change is a process. It doesn’t happen in one snap of a finger or in one blink of an eye. It is a process. It is a process that all people have experienced, and right now a lot is still experiencing it.
Changes are always present in my life, and even with a lot of people. Changes sometimes hurt, sometimes it feels good, and sometimes you just can’t feel anything about it. But one thing is for sure in the change that happens to me, it really feels good after the process, because I know that when I change, I change for the better good.
There are some changes that are really hard to resist, and there are some that it just happens. But there are times that you don’t even know that you can change it, that you will just be surprised that you have changed without putting an effort to it, you have already changed. You will even feel proud of yourself when that happens.
There are changes that are complicated. Complicated because there are some things that needs to be sacrificed for you to be fully changed, and sometimes that sacrifice will really hurt. But even if it does really hurt, you will have no choice but to do it because you have to, you need to change.
There’s this one time in where I just asked myself, is change really necessary? why can’t something just stay the way that it is? I mean if that thing is already good why does it have to change? One short answer came up to me. Everything that happens has it’s own purpose, God never allows something if it won’t help us, and that it only proves that God is in control of everything. God holds everything in the palm of His hand. Even He allows changes to happen in the whole world not only to us—but of course that change in the world would still affect us no matter what.
Changes are always for the better good, I have already proved it. God allows changes to happen to us so that we can be better persons. Recently God changed a lot of things in my life and it feels really good that I have changed. It really proves that God always wants what is best for all of us. Changes in life are really exciting, because you can never know what result would take place in the change that you are in.
We should always be thankful if we are undergoing changes in life, it may be a hard one, but still we should be thankful about it because we can be assured that after it, we would become much better persons that we are before. The mere fact that change is present in our lives is a great proof that we do have a life, a life that is great, beautiful, and very exciting.

Be Strong
Now that it’s here, it seemed that I can’t get enough of it. The truth is I am already afraid of loosing it. I already love it. Knowing it more and deeper makes me more attached to it. Knowing it more gives me a lot reasons to be grateful for it.
There are a lot of questions in me right now that I wanted to be answered, answered with a reasonable answer and explanation behind it. Like, if it is still right for me to enjoy it, or if have the right to be afraid of loosing it. The one big question that I want to ask is, is everything still right?
I want it now more than anything else. Now I can say that I need it, I want it, I have it and I can feel it. It’s here and I won’t let go of it. I’m just going to enjoy it, there’s nothing that I need to be afraid of, because everything will fall in its place, everything will be alright. Be strong..

Fairy Tales
I always see my life as a fairy tale; no actually I wanted it to be as a fairy tale. I always believe that my life will end with a happy ending like in the fairy tale stories. It’s not bad to dream and to have your hopes high. It’s true, in life anything can happen. I’m really praying for the very best happy ending to happen in my life, and to tell it honestly, I can’t wait to see it and to know how it would end. But I’ve once said that in “Every happy endings, has a great, wonderful and exciting new beginning after It.” The moment that it’s over, you would wish that there is just more to tell. But it’s going to be a new beginning, a new story to tell. How do we wish that we would know what really happened to Snow White after her happily ever after, or Cinderella, or Sleeping Beauty, or Belle in “Beauty and The Beast”? But for me, I wanted my story to be written even after my happily ever after, everything will be written even the sad times and the good times. God has prepared something for me and I just know it that it would be the greatest happily ever after for me. It’s the most wonderful thing. But why do people often believe in fairy tales and chooses to live in the reality? One thing that I believe in the most is that with God, everything is a great fairy tale, everything is a wonderful story. So why do people chooses to strain themselves with the heart breaking and heart aching reality? If there is just only full joy in the world, if people would just look at themselves the way that God looks at them and the way that God sees their lives, if they were just in Him? Then everyone will be happy. Everyone will just have their happily lives, and it would be ever after, or shall I say forever. God doesn’t want us to live not being happy, He wants us to enjoy and just let Him do the rest. But of course there is no such fairy tales without something getting in our way, but still good triumphs over evil in all the fairy tales. Main characters in a fairy tale has always a smile in them, you would just see in their faces that they still smile in spite of all the challenges in their lives that they also go through everyday, but in them there is just this intimate joy that no one can take it away from them. They trust, hope, dream, love, have fun, and a lot of other things that is just really happy. Worries never trouble them; they just let life go through it. So why can’t we be like that? Why can’t we be the main character in our own fairy tale? Why can’t we just enjoy life the way they do? There is such a thing as a happily ever after, if we would just allow it to be within us, and just allow joy to be in our hearts. Fairy tales do come true, I know that deep down in our hearts we still want to believe that there is such a thing besides reality. Don’t let reality get in your way, it’s only one ask away from God I believe. It’s not bad to believe, sometimes it’s scary but just let that joy be in your heart the world wouldn’t mind, and maybe you’ll find it rather enjoying. Even if some would tell you that you’re getting your head way beyond the clouds, if you believe in your heart, it can be yours. You just got to believe, and then who knows you may just have a big break. Just like I said on the first part that “Every happy endings, has a great, wonderful and exciting new beginning after It.” It could be ever after? It can even be forever, starting today. So why not, right?
Something to write about
It’s late and I’m not yet tired. I wanted to write something, but don’t know what would be the real main topic. So let’s just talk about a lot of things. Let’s talk about everything.
I’ve been away not for so long, but it feels like it’s been very long. I’m not saying things on the literal way, I’ve been away. I, myself has been away not for so long, but I can really tell that I’ve been gone far away, and didn’t even noticed that it wasn’t doing any good for me, so this night I decided to go back. To admit for starters I got scared. Scared if I was still cut out with the thing that I’m usually doing, and then I got scared that it made me runaway. Second is, I got scared because I don’t know the right approach on how to go back. But God pulled me through it, He held me in His hand fast and just told me that He will guide all the way through it; not just in my way going back, but in my everyday life. Can you imagine that? God is always going to hold me? That is just so big time! Anyway all I can say is that I’m really glad that I already got back, God lighted the way, and He leaded me back to where I should be.
God gave me something, and I do know that it is from Him, that’s for sure. To be really honest, it became a joy in my heart and even in my life right now, so for now, God just really wants me to enjoy every bit of it. He gave me something to be inspired about, and I’m really glad about it. Every time I think of this joy that is in my heart, I can’t help but to put a big smile in my face, and if my heart was being seen, you will see it also smiling inside. I’m really thankful for this, and I would never cease to thank God for it. I’ve been praying for it and nothing is impossible with God that is for sure. I’m just so excited about it, and no one or nothing can take it away from me, only God. Maybe I am not being specific here on what is the thing that I’m really glad and joyful about, don’t worry, soon I will tell it, but for now it’s only between me and God, and maybe some of my friends, but you see I’m not much of a big talker when it comes to things like this.
Faith, it is something that I’m really having right now, because faith allows impossible things to happen. Faith is also the reason for having miracles to happen. I am having faith that is only quiet. Things can really be accomplished by having faith in our hearts, faith in God of course. Faith also makes you stronger in your everyday life. It is like an anchor helping you to be still especially when there are storms that comes in your way. Faith is believing in what you cannot see, hear or even touch. It only comes from knowing and hearing the word of God. So technically it comes only from God. Faith right now is what is keeping me going through my life, and it is keeping me strong even to believe in the things that I cannot see, and is far from reaching. Having faith in God is probably one of the great things you can experience in your Christian life. It allows you to believe, to hope, to have dreams that you would see far from happening to you. It is like a weapon, a shield that keeps you fighting the good fight for God. Faith really is a great thing for a person to really experience. I believe it is for the worth while. It also allows you to see things that are way far beyond the things that you can do on your own, but by having faith it is now possible to happen in your life. Most of the time this is what we do, or let me say, this is what we are having, Faith. Because in our everyday lives we hope for something, we believe for something, we dream of something, we think of things, and we can only think of such things if we have faith in our hearts, the thing to believe that these things would happen, that is called faith. So I guess me having high and quiet faith in God is really something to write about.
