The Bible | Meditating on His words

I finally bought a new bible. Somehow, I lost mine, so I thought, but I forgot it at the church where I used to go to. I tried to retrieve it, the secretary instructed me to pick it up outside the church one afternoon, but it disappeared. Someone might have took it. Whoever that person is, I pray that he or she will be save and change his or her life forever.

I started reading my bible again today beginning in Genesis chapter 1. Word for word I read it and it dawned on me, how powerful our God is. How wonderful His creations, just by reading verse 11, 12, and verse 13.

And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

My heart felt this overwhelming joy, remembering how great our God is. His creation proves that He is amazing! I started writing this blog, because I don’t want to miss sharing this with you. I want us to remember that our God, who created this earth, who created us will never leave us astray. He can make things beautiful again. He can give us comfort and peace, just as He created earth perfectly.

The world might not be the perfect place for us to be in anymore. But knowing God is with us, in every situation, with everything that’s happening around us, we will feel at peace. Just call unto Him, seek Him first and we will find rest.

I pray that God will give us peace, hope and comfort. This world that we live in is not the place for us, but I pray that God will continue to guide us and prepare us for the world we called heaven. Where we will no longer suffer, we will no longer worry, and there we will be in the arms of our Father forever. In the name of Jesus our Lord, Amen.

In His perfect time

In His perfect time…

I am writing to you to let you know that I started talking to my husband about Jesus Christ. Some of you may not know that my husband doesn’t believe in God and His existence. It’s been a burden to me, especially now a days, the pandemic, the economic crisis and other worldly things that are happening around us. God is trying to tell us something. He loves us and that he wants to remind us about His existence.

I asked him if he has given any thoughts about what is happening around us. Is he worried? Or is he afraid? The world’s chaos is God’s revelation that he is coming soon.

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Revelation 1:1-3

I told him about my ongoing burden knowing that he doesn’t believe in God is something that I wanted to talk to him about. I started telling him how important he is to me. We hardly say the words I love you, but this time I told him and how much I care about him. Tears started coming down my eyes. He said, I am who I am and I hope you respect that. I can not believe on something that is just man made stories. The bible is written by people who are just story tellers like writing a movie or a novel.

His statement was so strong, I can’t hardly breath when I heard it. I have no words but to tell him to remember this day when I tried to tell you. I may not be a perfect wife, I don’t want to be accountable, and I may not be the one to bring you to Christ, but I will continue to pray. I know that you will receive salvation, in God’s grace and in His perfect timing.

God’s love is new every morning

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3: 22-23

Sunrise

His mercy is new every morning

Have you ever fall in love? Or have you ever felt love from someone? I remember when I first fall in love, so I think I did. I feel so happy just being with that person, spending time, talking, sharing your thoughts together, your laughter, and your sorrows. We try to express it with words, our service, and our gifts. We do everything we can to express our love.

There are many ways to express our love, many ways to show each other how deeply we care. All these ways are wonderful, all should be used, but none proves your hearts to be true. Not one guarantees the veracity of your love. It is hard to love someone if they are not worthy of your love. The only way to know if you have true love is to see whether it stands the test of time. Has it endured hardship, boredom, and pain?

God’s love is genuine, it is selfless. We may feel unworthy of God’s love and refuse to approach Him as Father. Jesus died on the cross. His sacrifice showed how much he loves us. He left heaven and died for the world He loved. Even for those who rejected Him. No one could care about us more deeply than that.

To some, you may not realize how God loves you. The sunrise proves that He loves you. His mercy is new every morning when you wake up and take that first breath, God shows His love, His sacrifice, He tells you that there is hope. He died on the cross and on the third day, when the sun rises, He rose again.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Sunday before Christmas

I started my day thinking how I can convince my husband to go to church and watch the Christmas worship tonight. I wonder what would be his answer? Will it be a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’? It is hard to get a ‘No’ for an answer. The fear of making him mad or turn this morning in to an argument. But the spirit of God spoke to me and said, “It is his soul, his salvation and his life…let him be mad”. A smile in my heart appeared. Of course, I do not want him to get mad. I just need to know the answer.

The conversation started like this, “Honey, I kinda’ wanna go to see the Christmas show at this church tonight…they have it for 3 nights and tonight is the last night…I really don’t want to miss it…–not for sure, I think I will be busy tonight”, he said. A pause and then he said, “what time”? When he asked me the time I knew he’d come. Just at that moment, I have a smile on my face.

We got there a little early and found us a couple of good seats. I am very excited. I feel that this is going to be the night that my husband will receive his salvation. As I hope that each day would be the day, always.

The worship and the performances were awesome! They surely touch my heart, and I hope his too. The sermon was spot on. It was about finding our purpose, untangling the kinks in our life and being the light in someones’ path. God is the only one, who could help us. He is the true light in our paths.

The pastor said a little prayer asking for forgiveness, asking Jesus to come to our hearts, making Him our savior, our friend, and our father. I prayed that my husband repeated the words. I prayed that he will receive salvation. I prayed that he will be saved. We left church with a big hope in my heart, thankful that God answers prayers.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Psalm 13:5

My First Blog Post

Love is patient, love is kind.

October 12, 2014, when I knew that my life will change forever.  He has the sweetest and mellow voice.  I was imagining what he would look like and trying really hard not to sound so nervous on the phone.  I hope that he will not notice my manly voice.  We talked for hours.  I have this constant reminder in my mind to change the tone of my voice; make it a little sweeter, a pitch higher, laugh cuter and not to sound like cookie monster from Sesame Street.  We decided to meet at a local restaurant and the rest is history.

It is a constant struggle as I wrestle with my conscience that I am with this awesome guy who doesn’t believe in God.  I never thought that as a Christian woman, who strongly believe in God and Jesus Christ, that I will be married to an atheist.   Pray for me.

September 1.  The wife of an unbeliever

“John 1:4 The Word gave life to everything that was created and his life brought light to everyone.”

Wife of an Unbeliever

Does miracle still exist?  How will I tell him that our God is real?  Will he ever believe?

I truly believe that God exists and that he created everything!  Today, my husband and I had an awesome day as always. We may have disagreement here and there, but we always catch ourselves doing it, so we will just stop.  Let the time passes and cool off so we will not argue anymore.  It is a perfect couple’s world.  But somehow, there is this voice that constantly whispering to me, ‘he is not a Christian…’  Would this be the voice of God, telling me to stop what I am doing and pray for his salvation?  Is it my angel’s voice, who is reminding me to pray for my husband?   Am I the only one who has this problem? 

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—Psalm 103:1-2 NIV”

I struggle feeling disengaged from church, from praise and worship, and from the pastor’s sermon, especially, when the weekend is here.  Every Sunday I think about going to church, or watch Charles Stanley.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

Joyful Wife

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.  Proverbs 12:4

I am a Christian, but I am not a perfect Christian.  I am a wife, who loves her husband and would do almost everything for him.  Not everything, but almost.  Let’s be honest, sometimes we don’t feel like doing everything for him, right? Especially, when things are not going to as planned and when we are not happy with him.  

Why did I start this blog?

  • I have been contemplating about this idea for quite some time now.  I am a Christian, married to a non-believer.  I wanted to share our married life to those of you who are in the same situation as I am.  I know God has a huge plan in our life.
  • I started writing to help me stay focus.  I know God has a purpose in my life, but I am still trying to figure that out.  With you in my side, hopefully, it will help me become a strong Christian, a noble wife, a good friend and a woman.
  • Most importantly, to pray for our spouse who do not believe that there is a God who loves them unconditionally.

Before I continue this blog here are the things that I wanted you know;

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal? 
    • I needed a huge support group.  
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
    • As a wife, a christian, a woman and a friend, I would love to share to you my joy, my struggle, heartaches, laughter, failures and my accomplishment.  Not to be embarrass or to be proud, but to learn, to motivate, to inform, to encourage and to accept, whether our shortcoming, our success, and our blessings in life.
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
    • I would love for all of you, wives, mothers, friends,  husbands, fathers and even grandmas and grandpas out there to share your thoughts and experience.
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished? 
    • The goal of this blog is to spread the word of God, His awesomeness, His love for everyone, His grace, His kindness, His forgiveness and most especially Salvation, that He gave His only son Jesus Christ.  To share to our love ones who do not believe, to be the light that our Lord wants us to be.  To be the Joyous wife no matter where life takes us.
  • I love you all!!!
