You are who you are for a reason.

When I was younger, I love collecting poems or quotes from the internet. 

From time to time, I'll be sharing some of them.

You are who you are for a reason.

You're part of an intricate plan.

You're a precious and unique design,

Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.

Our God made no mistake.

He knit you together within the womb,

You're just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,

And no matter how you may feel,

They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,

And they bear the Master's seal.

No, the trauma you faced was not easy.

And God wept that it hurt you so;

But it was allowed to shape your heart

So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,

You've been formed by the master's rod.

You are who you are, friend,

Because there is God!!

A prayer of thanksgiving

Jesus, thank You for life and all it involves. When something goes wrong, we often say, "That's life!" But life is so much more than the little things that don't turn out the way we wish they had.

Waking up each morning with eyes that see and ears that hear —that's life!

Talking with a child and catching a glimpse of the world through those innocent eyes—that's life!

Pausing in the middle of a hectic day to watch a bird soar or a butterfly flit among the flowers—that's life!

Chatting with an old friend and remembering just how special that friendship is—that's life!

Receiving an unexpected word of encouragement—that's life!

Holding a newborn baby and catching his first smile—that's life!

Walking in nature, taking in its sights

breathing that fresh air—that's life!

Lying down to sleep at night and thanking God for all the blessings that the day brought—that's life!

Currently November.

I'm really a very terrible blogger. I hardly have time to sit and write, it seems that my "to do list" is never-ending! Hahaist! BUT i always try to join the Currently linky by Farley of Oh Boy, 4th Grade, so uhmm, here's mine.

LISTENING: Right at this moment, im enjoying the silence of my classroom. While waiting for my afternoon class to arrive. Oh, don't get me wrong.. Classroom is FUN when kids are around, but sometimes a little "silent moments" would be wonderful.

LOVING: I love spending quality time with my hubby & precious little one. I teach 5 times a week, from 8:30am-4:00pm (divided into 3 classes), do my after school tasks, and go home at 7:00pm. I always try not to bring any school work at home, so that time at home would only be spend for my family.

THINKING: Christmas is just around the corner and its my most awaited time of the year. Even though, its still November I've been scanning & pinning through Pinterest for wonderful, cute and colorful ideas for decorations. Here are some of it.

Can you suggest more ideas? I would love it.

WANTING: A Samsung Note. I guess, i need to start praying and saving some money for it.

READING: I love reading, its one of my favorite past-time. I'm reading a Confessions of a Shopaholic, why? I dunno. Maybe because im so curious 'cause a lot of my friends have read it, and they said it nice. 

Well, that's it! Have a awesome November to you! Hugs! 

 

Origami.

While waiting for my student to finish his work, I found this book inside his school bag. It's all about origami. So i borrowed it and do some of it, i guess this one is the easiest.

Might try doing more origami(s) soon. :)

Thankful

I've got so much to thank God for and words wouldn't be enough, but here are some..

1. I'm thankful for the gift of SALVATION.

2. I'm thankful for the gift of life.

3. I'm thankful for my family, friends, my son and hubby.

4. I'm thankful for God's daily provision.

5. I'm thankful for God's promises (which He never fails to fulfill).

Life is always full of heartaches and tears, but a THANKFUL heart makes everything EASIER.
