"Thy will be done"



We often hear this in prayers, until we learn to say this everytime we pray as well. But what does it really mean when you say "Thy will be done"? What word pops up in your head when you hear this? Faith! That's right.

Tita Merriam (Charot! My tita is a dictionary HAHA) defined faith as a strong belief or trust in someone, and a belief in the existence of God: strong religious feelings or beliefs. In these definitions alone, it is clear that faith is having trust to God.

TRUST here is not the "I trust that the Lord will make me the top of the class", or the "I trust him for letting me win in this competition", or the "I trust God for not allowing him to cheat on me". But rather, I'm talking about saying "I trust you Lord for bringing out the best of me in a humble way, a top student or not, your will be done" "I trust him for helping me please the audience, win or lose, your will be done" " I trust God for letting the truth prevail itself, even if it will hurt me so much, your will be done".
"Jesus said 'Don't be afraid; just believe"
Mark 5:36

I know this is hard, but once you surrender yourself and everything you do to the Lord, you are at peace, your soul is happy, and everything just seem so secured already, so you feel assured.
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me'".
John 14:6

When you pray this, you don't make conditions. You whole-heartedly accept whatever lies ahead, whatever happens, even if it will hurt you, even if it means a big change, you know you'll be fine for he is in control. His will be done, right? His plans, not yours. His time, not yours.
"I am the Lord, in it's time, I will make it happen"
Isaiah 60:22


"Lord, ikaw na bahala" should not be a last option we will have when everything is falling apart. Instead, it should've been what we hold on to from the start whether or not we prepared for what is coming. Our Lord should not be our last option, but he should be our top priority. Love him with all your heart, trust in him with all of your soul, and everything will follow.
"Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and He will help you"
Psalms 37:5


How to have trust in him that much? LOVE HIM TOO MUCH. How to love him too much? SEEK HIM.
"Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe."
Colossians 2:7


I honestly found him to the extent of self surrender in my most trial moment, when I have almost nothing but him. That's when I realized how much he existed and how much he loved me. I was transfigured!
"For God had said 'I will never fail you, I will never abandon you"
Hebrews 13:5
"Spirit works deeply and gently within us"
Ephesians 3:20

Reality was harsh, but still life has always been beautiful with him in it.
Obey him, and do everything he wants you to do, if it means you will fulfill the purpose he has for you.
"The Lord my God lights my darkness"
Psalm 18:28

I HOPE YOU WILL FIND HIM SOONER :) IF YOU HAVE, ALLELUIA! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU
"The Lord chose you to be his"
John 15:16
BE BLESSED ALWAYS! GOD LOVES YOU!

To all next gens of their family business

Everybody talks about successful people who worked hard for themselves. Those who hustle for their own brand name. Oh, how proud others are. And I am too. But nobody talks about the 2nd generation or further in a family business, who hustle the same way and worked hard not for themselves but for their family. Not a lot of people are proud of them, but for sure, their parents are. So am I too.  Yes, they are blessed to just follow and continue what has been established. Most people think there's not too much work anymore because a system is set, quality is known, clients exist already, and all they have to do is to maintain and sustain which are easy to do. I tell you, to fit into someone else's shoes is 10x harder than you think it is. Family pressure is unending. Not to mention leaving animosity between your family at work as you have family meals together is another challenge. It is easier to work with other people as there is a clear line between a professional relationship

You found your prince charming once more. Or so you thought. You find comfort in him, true. You've always been honest with him, like not a single lie you made, true. You tell him everything and everything, not a single detail left, true. You feel at your best when talking to him, true. Brought out the rational side of you, so true. But that's not until you hurt yourself for having that fantasy again. He's no toad, I should say. The prince charming you've always wanted when you were still a little girl. The kind of prince who has always been your knight and shining armor. Always there to understand even the most confusing time of your life. He never left, true. But you did. You two have been perfect. Not a serious argument ever happened within that 6-year-happy-tea party you have together. Fireworks shoot up the sky when you were officially together. You know how deadly it could be to be in that kind of relationship. You knew it baby girl, but you took the risk. Now, l
