Then Sings My Soul Saturdays: Nearer Each Day

Whenever, I felt discouraged , anxious and hopeless, this song encourages me that there is PERSON inside me who is nearer each day to me. The Lord has brought me once again to this song. I recently had a situation with somebody, I felt so disappointed, even faithless, so short of what the Lord is looking for. How can I possibly make it? The Lord reminds me today - "even when faith is small, when there is no hope at all... trust in Me and you'll see! that I'll supply all your needs, if only you will believe, all anxious doubts will cease, while trusting Me."

What a salvation to hear this little song. Hallelujah! The Lord is not after an army of spiritual giants but He's after the ones who seek His purpose, who long to be overcomers, living a normal Christian life trusting in Him each day.



HYMN LYRICS:

NEARER EACH DAY

1. Nearer each day to me,
   Dearer each day to me,
   This Person inside me is
   Becoming reality.
   Saving me, loving me,
   Faith and hope giving me.
   You're all the world to me Jesus, my Lord.

2. Even when faith is small,
   When there's no hope at all,
   I hear Him say to me,
   Trust in Me and you'll see,
   That I'll supply all your needs,
   If only you will believe.
   All anxious doubts will cease,
   While trusting in Me.

I have attached a piano score here , so you can learn to play the hymn if you would be interested to learn the song.

Learn from Noah's Ark

Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark .

ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Dreaming of Someone from our Past

Have you ever thought why people we haven't seen, thought about or even remembered from our past suddenly pops up in our dreams? Why do we dream of old boyfriends, friends or grade school teachers that we have not thought about for years.

I for one have dreamed about my ex-boyfriend back when I was in college, the weirdest thing is he was not even my serious boyfriend. LOL. He was just a fling or someone I used to get attracted with. We did not share a close and deep relationship and I haven't thought about him for years, swear. It was weird as it was as if we shared a deep love for each other in my dream. He wanted to win me back and I was on tears being touched by what he has shown and thought it was real. But then the alarm clocked rang and I opened my eyes. It's already morning. What was that all about?

If I would interpret that, I would say that humans as we are , we have the soul and spirit, it might be something that signals psychological reaching out with that person. However, there are some psychological explanations as to why we have such dreams.

Dreams are curious, nebulous phenomena and humans have been trying to make sense of them since we first became aware of ourselves. Great minds from the Hebrew Joseph to Carl Jung have tried to crack the dream code, yet most of us still wake up thinking, “What did that all mean?”

Dream interpretation can offer some clues as to why certain elements and people find their ways into our dreams, but to really crack the code takes some work and thought.

Our unconscious mind never sleeps. According to Freud, our conscious minds need to disconnect from all stimuli, but we also need to maintain some level of awareness so that we can wake up again. To make sure that happens, while we sleep, our minds channel thoughts and needs into the unconscious brain in the form of dreams. The language of the unconscious is symbolic rather than literal and therefore, so is the content of the dreams it produces. Freud referred to the images and elements that appear in dreams as “manifest content” that represents and alludes to a deeper personal meaning, or “latent content,” to the dreamer. In other words, every part of a dream refers to some other thought or situation, but this connection can only be understood by the dreamer.

There are no random dreams. According to Freud, then, there is no such thing as a random element in a dream, only elements whose relevance we don’t quite understand. In fact, most of what we see and experience in our dreams is obscure to our waking minds. We won’t have seen or thought about someone in ages, and then suddenly he’ll appear as a central figure in a dream, or someone in our peripheral awareness will come to the fore at a seemingly arbitrary time.

Dreams work similarly to literature, art, and music in the way they connect our minds and feelings. Both dreams and art allow us to safely see the sights experiences by approaching them through symbols. They use what we do know to help us understand what we don’t. Art utilizes images, literature applies similes and metaphors, and dreams use elements from our everyday lives to guide our minds through difficult and emotional concepts. It’s alright to dream like this. We can still sleep anyway. Though dreaming of people we haven’t thought of in years may seem like just a coincidence of the brain at the time, such accidental elements are really apparent manifestations of more deep-seeded matters.

With that, I need to sit back and think clearly and associate my dream in reality as to what it represents.

Thankful Thursday # 1

Life has so many things to be thankful about. So I decided to join for the first time in a beautiful meme hosted by Sonya of Truth 4 the Journey. The idea is to list down five things we are thankful for the week. Then hit back to the hostess' blog to link up with Mr. Linky.

I praise the and thank the Lord for the wonderful things we have this week:

1. First of All , Thank You Lord for this meme that I have joined for the first time. This will help me remind of your faithfulness that I should be rejoicing day by day.

2. For the 28th year birthday of my husband last October 13. Thank you Lord for preserving him all through the years and letting him experience You in many untold ways and for the meals on our table and all the things that we need.

3. I have been kept safe by the Lord, though my pregnancy is a little bit risky and stressful , He has kept me in His loving embrace that for the week , I am able to come to work.

4. I am thankful for the health of my children: Aljodon David, Al'jered Nicolas, Alikah Arienh and Lishan Jeshaiah (who is still in my tummy).

5. Thankful also for the Lord is constantly reminding me that I need to feed on His word more and experience His presence day by day. Thankful also that I am able to read blogs that has refreshing word of the Lord that strengthens my faith in HIM..

What a Thankful Week Indeed. Thank You for Your faithfulness that is untold.

Priest!???

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation.



They were determined to make this a real vacation
by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy.

As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store
and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.


The next morning they went to the beach
dressed in their "tourist" garb.

They were sitting on beach chairs,

enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a
"drop dead gorgeous" blonde in a topless bikini
came walking straight towards them.

They couldn't help but stare.

As the blonde passed them she smiled and said
"Good Morning, Father ~ Good Morning, Father,"
nodding and addressing each of them individually,
then she passed on by.
They were both stunned.

How in the world did she know they were priests?
So the next day, they went back to the store
and bought even more outrageous outfits.


These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them!
Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine.?

After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde,
wearing a different colored topless bikini, taking her sweet time,
came walking toward them.

Again she nodded at each of them, said


"Good morning, Father ~ Good morning, Father,"
and started to walk away.

One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said,
"Just a minute, young lady." "Yes, Father?"?

"We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know,
how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?"?

She replied,

"Father, it's me, Sister Margaret."

Word Filled Wednesday: Matthew 6:33

The purpose of Word filled Wednesday is to share God’s word (no famous quotes or other literature — only the beautiful word of our Father) through photo’s & a Bible verse!

Amen for the word of the Lord. How we need to seek first the Lord's Kingdom and His righteousness and that we need will be taken cared of by the Father. The Father's kingdom is the reality of the kingdom of the heavens today, the reality of the church life today, and will be the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens in the coming age. The Father's righteousness is the righteousness expressed by the keeping of the new law of the kingdom. This righteousness is Christ, who is lived out by the kingdom people. Since the kingdom people seek first the kingdom and the righteousness of their heavenly Father, not only will His kingdom and His righteousness be given to them, but also all that they need will be added to them.
