My Grand Life Vacation
Today, I found myself awoke the whole night until dawn. I don’t know what’s this called. Maybe it’s the opposite of jet log, or whatsoever; I don’t care 
In the Philippines I used to sleep at 10-11 pm, having been settled for my prayer and devotion, and then wake up at 4 am, doing the same thing. And then suddenly, when I moved here, everything has changed. Maybe I just want to write now…
I can say that as my year ended, all my sufferings on the year 2008 ended too. (Did you notice that? Oh, you did?) Wow! This is really what we call “Imari, The Champion; The Winner; The Overcomer.” I really don’t like to boast, but please, do give me a chance to get proud for a moment. Of course I won’t boast myself, but instead, I’m gonna boast the greatness of God in my life! I’m not here if it’s not by God. (Of course, much thanks to people who supported me all the way). I don’t know, but, I’m much more excited with my life–on how I will be used mightily and greatly by Him. I can smell the sweet aroma of my good success. Oh, by the way, I told a while ago that everything here is new–the environment, the people, the weather, the foods, everything is new! But, I love it here, you know. I feel comfortable. I like it when my brother and I go driving anywhere, and we used to go to Starbucks and sip coffees, and when my mom and sis go shopping… oh, I just love Washington! And also, it’s fun to meet new people and enter into a new school. It’s really fun! hahahaha… (sorry, I can’t help it.,)
I think this is already God’s rewards to me. This is a time for me to relax and rest for a while… get rid from crying, struggles and problems… like saying, “Imay, my cute and wonderful princess, this is your grand life vacation! Enjoy my promised USA first. Just get ready for the 2009 trials I’m gonna give you!” But maybe later or tomorrow, He’s going to send me to another battles… battles that will make me even stronger in spirit. “Yah, Dad, I’m enjoying! Go! I’m excited!” (I do miss crying because of pain… heheheh… and then get happy after overcoming it…)
*P.S: I just received a promised laptop from my brother last 30th… he said that Sony is better than Apple.. (ok, I don’t want to boast… hahahah.. God just answered my wishes for my christmas and bday! more than I asked Him) Though I haven’t receive it yet, at least I got a promise. But the most important gift that He gave me was the harvested souls of the members of my family. It’s the most beautiful gift I received before and after my bday, more than any material things…
The Smile of Heaven :)
I often think of the heavens your hands have made, and of the moon and stars you put in place. Then I ask, ‘Why do you care about us humans? Why are you concerned for us weaklings?’ Psalm 8:3-4
A reunion of great celestial bodies has taken place in the southwest of twilight yesterday (December 1, 2008). The planets Jupiter and Venus and the crescent moon joined together and drew a huge smile in the sky. I was amazed with how God painted such picture of a smile in heaven. For me it was a remarkable night, so monumental, that proved the majesty of our Creator. His glory was revealed, and I just hoped that everybody witnessed this wonderful occasion in the sky last night. I’m happy because I just read today that according to studies, the next occurence of this alignment will be on November 18, 2052 (and I could no longer wait for that date! hahahaha)
As I gazed up in the night sky, I didn’t help but remember God’s promises to me. The moon, the stars and the skies have been very significant to me. They symbolize His love and promises, that even if they are miles away (to be reached now), at least I could still see them shining and it gives me hope every time. I didn’t help but smiled too! 
And again, God spoke to me. He said He smiles every time I put my trust to Him. And I shouldn’t frown when my life arrives on twilight; when life is dark, lonely and cold. Because He cares for me even I am but a weakling… Because even on dark clouds, the heaven could still smile.
For those who come to see the great alignment of Venus, Jupiter and small crescent moon last night, I hope it put a great smile in your face too. Behold we’re all humans and weaklings, and we are all under the same sky. And no matter who you are, He cares for you because He let you experienced it… it wasn’t an accident.
And for those who missed it, uhmm, wait, I’ll show you a drawing of mine… hahahahahaha… Here… (pagtiyagaan nyo na lang…)
Try searching on the internet more… Or if you want to watch this out live, just wait until November 18, 2052. Lol.
