whatever we do, God wouldn’t love us more or less because He already loves us at His best. :))

The Beat Psalms: Love is...
Love is beautiful…
…when you feel you might burst from the happiness that’s ravaged your bones and electrified your insides, all because you’ve fallen for the one who completes the beat of your heart and filled the emptiness of your hand.Love is lonely…
…when you’ve fallen for the far off…
The Beat Psalms: A Temple Called Beautiful
It isn’t easy to remember. Actually, it’s rather hard. We become bogged down with the naysayers and those whom it would kill to see us succeed. We are demeaned to believe that we are the average and ugly, inside and out. But we somehow maintain our march forward, head held high while confidence…

The Beat Psalms: The Meaningful Man
What does it take to be a man? Is it being tall in stature? Maybe possessing a muscular might? How about having a bushy beard, smelling of pine and wearing a worn out flannel shirt? Do these things make a man? I ask because through the years, our definition has seemed to change. No longer is a man…
Love Definitions
By: Raissa Mae Palcis
People say love is blind. Yet, why do we see its weaknesses?
Love is in the air. Does that mean we’re breathless without it?
Love is patient. But why do people can’t wait for the time?
People adore “endless love,” then what do goodbyes are for?
Couples say it’s their reason to live life. But why do some commit suicides?
What does love really mean?
Even the genius Einstein could not define this emotion,
Nor Confucius who’s said to be so wise.
I tried to research in the latest browser
To the most dusty book in the lib.
Yet, I found no words that fit my heart.
My hopes were about to be shattered.
But when I read the ancient Book,
And caught glimpse of my family,
My friends and the person I admire,
My heart felt a twinge of guilt.
I went searching on places and things
That could never give me its perfect meaning.
Unknown to me that I was such a fool
Not to realize that those I caught sight
Were the definitions I was trying to find…

Happy Birthday to my friend Raissa Mae (a.k.a.
Tweety Bird) who’s turning eighteentoday. i love you! <3
special gift :)
God wants so much more for your life than fine. Life is a journey, not so much to a destination, but a transformation. Looking back doesn’t it sometimes feel like our richest times come right in the midst of our hardest? But God made us to life in community, to laugh and cry. To hurt and to celebrate with each other, no matter what were going through. And transformation is tough, and we dont always end up where we think we will. But we have to remember, that even when we struggle to believe in Him, He always believes in us. He fills our lives with purpose and passion, if we just let Him. And the best part of the journey, is that the God of the universe, sometimes allows us to play a part in changing the world. Isn’t that a trip?
