Share a psalm!
SHARE A PSALM
When words are difficult to find or the pressures of events distract my thoughts I find it helpful to share a Psalm, making the words of the psalmist my own prayer or request and applying them to my own situation. Here are a few examples of where I look for help in the Psalms when I feel,
- Afraid 3, 91
- Alone 27
- Envious 73
- Like giving up 34, 43
- Sad 13
- Weak 40, 121, 142
- Worried 37
- Tempted 141
- Unimportant 139
- Like praising God 96, 100, 145
PRAYING THE PSALMS
The Book of Psalms is really a book of prayers. From praise and giving thanks, to asking forgiveness, overcoming temptation, dealing with discouragement, facing fear, finding guidance, seeking wisdom or gaining courage. No matter how we feel, in the Psalms we find words to express every human condition and they teach about how God wants us to communicate with him. It’s reassuring to know that the psalmists had the same feelings we do, and weren’t afraid of expressing them to God!
Sobrang sarap ng feeling
I'm in awe when I read Paulina's event invitation. She is really dedicated.
1. her cellphone
2. Facebook
Contact her through:
1. email: pmiranda_2990@yahoo.com <-- THIS SHE WILL KEEP
2. Enzo Miranda's facebook account. YOU CAN MESSAGE HIM
3. personal meetings or trysts or whatever
4. secret emergency phone
5. landline
She is doing this to/for:
1. learn time management
2. focus
3. have direction in life; stop being aimless
4. stick to her word; wants to be on time
5. have more personal relationships with you; when she is there, she is there for you; she is yours 100%-- set a time and date, and she'll be there
6. growth
7. detachment; an application of the wisdom of Christ and Buddhism
How long will this go on?
For as long as her family isn't complaining about how hard it is to contact her; as she deems it necessary for academic purposes (sometimes she keeps in touch best through facebook)
It is quite impractical but this will teach her a lot. She needs this.
SEE YOU IN REAL LIFE! Hope to have a more meaningful life!
