Happy :)
Question: ARE YOU HAPPY IN YOUR LIFE? HOW DID YOU SAY SO?
My Answer:
Yes, I am happy in my life. I could say I am contented also because I have learned to surrender it to God. Just as simple as that. I always look forward on what will happen tomorrow. Actually, I am excited because I know that He has already provided me a very great future. I also come to some points that I feel so sad, but it does not give me the reason to hate or ask God why it happens. Instead, trials help me stick to Him and to His promises. Sa totoo lang, maraming bagay ang nagbibigay sa akin ng reasons para umiyak at masaktan. Kung hindi lang dahil kay Lord at sa kanyang salita, ay matagal na akong nagpakamatay dahil sa sobrang kalungkutan. I am happy because I receive so much love from other people and from Him, of course. I believe marami rin akong makakasalamuha na hindi kanais-nais na mga tao. Marahil ang iba ay hindi ako magustuhan. Pero hindi iyon hadlang para mahalin ko sila. Masaya ako kapag nagmamahal ako kahit hindi man nila ako gusto. Wala naman silang magagawa kung magiging mabait ako sa kanila… kung ngingitian ko sila… kung mamahalin ko sila. Anyways, it’s not my life that becomes ruined. Masaya ako kasi pinili kong maging masaya. I am happy and contented because I trust God. 
“The key to contentment is trust.” Joshua Harris
God’s Spirit makes us loving, HAPPY, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled. Galatians 5:22
Costly Heart
This is my most favorite poem by Lena Lathrop. I cried when I first read this. It shows how a woman’s heart cannot be won easily. I hope as girls will read this, they will set their standards high because their love, their heart, is the costliest thing in the world. And guys too, would not take advantage of hurting us because we are meant to be loved truly and not to be hurt. Grand, Pure and True. ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO ANSWER?
A WOMAN’S QUESTION
Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above?
A woman’s heart, and a woman’s life–
And a woman’s wonderful love.
Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike, you have questioned me.
Now stand at the bars of my woman’s soul
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart be as true as God’s stars
And as pure as His heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you’re wanting for socks and shirts—
I look for a man and a king.
A king for the beautiful realm called Home,
And a man that his Maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did on the first
And say: “It is very good.”
I am fair and young, but the rose may fade
From this soft young cheeck one day;
Will you love me then, ‘mid the falling leaves
As you did ‘mong the blossoms of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and true,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook
You can hire and little to pay;
But a woman’s heart and a woman’s life
Are not to be won that way.
