A little workshop in Minokamo City, central Japan receives countless requests from across Japan to repair damaged clothes. Kaketsugi, or invisible mending, is a technique for repairing holes or tears in fabric. The shop is run by a father-and-daughter team: Kataoka Tesshu, with 40 years of experienc...

We live under the umbrella of God's goodness.

Who you been talking to?! 😂

If you're married, act like it. If they're married, leave them alone.

Share ko lang. While in the middle of a Zoom meeting, nawalan ako ng internet.
Nag panick ako ng very light. Nung nafi-feel ko na na sasakit na yung liver ko, I was suddenly reminded na this is out of my control. ( I recall nung time before I got diagnosed with the Big C, I was stressed and worried every single day. Kaya dzai, relax lang.)
So I prayed. I said LORD, "You gave me this opportunity. Nothing is impossible with you. Please restore my internet." At the same time I also messaged the people in charge, telling them I was unable to connect. In my mind, if it works out, good. If not, si God bahala. ( I couldn't use data kasi ang hirap paganahin ng data nitong Xiaomi. Or hindi lang ako marunong.)
Ayoko na kasi mag panic sa mga bagay na hindi ko na controlled.
Sa tinagal tagal kong nag cclaim na Kristyano ako, recently ko lang unti unti nauunawan ang sovereignty ni God.
Madalas sinasabi natin "ah God is in control" pero in our minds shempre gusto din natin na kung ano yung gusto natin mangyari, yun ang dapat mangyari.
Long story longer, my connection was restored kahit blink ng blink yung ilaw ng internet sa modem. I was able to finish the Zoom meeting. All glory to God. Now will I still thank Him if my connection wasn't restored? Yes. I am slowly learning to give thanks in any situation. 🙏🙏🙏 I'm not really a fan of manifesting things, but I can definitely ask, pray, and give thanks to God 🙏

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."

This is what the world has taught us, but it's further from the truth.

The pain of a punch or slap can linger for days, weeks, or even months. But the pain of hurtful words directed towards us can last for a lifetime. It can be so deeply rooted in our souls that people sometimes carry it to the grave.

Our words can uplift a spirit or crush a heart. They can encourage someone to dream, or discourage someone to give up.

Let our words be words that give life and hope, and lead others to Christ, the life-giver.

This Bible verse is actually part of a bigger explanation, but it also applies to all aspects of our lives.

"Design, intent, and orderliness are aspects of God's character. These are reflected in how He operates in the world and among His people."

God is not a God of confusion.

If a relationship is giving you red flags and you still want to stay, remember this.

If a career is causing you to compromise your values, remember this.

When we are anxious and confused, let us remember that we can always pray and ask for guidance. God will always give a clear answer, but it will be up to us if we want to follow Him or follow our desires.

Let's not invalidate other people's feelings. We all have different battles with different gears; different struggles and different fears.

Be kind.
