A Fairy Tale Poem

Every girl dreams to be a princess,
a damsel who may not be always in distress
but is of need of a prince to be with,
to love and to care.

Every girl wants to love without fear,
a love that need not to be explained,
one that is not created out of burden,
but is birthed through time and prayer.

Every girl needs to be loved,
a love that is unabashed and true,
the one that puts her into glow,
the one she can't deny to be true.

Every girl wishes her own ever after,
a story that surpasses even her own favorite fairytales,
the one she used to dream about,
that now becomes real to her.

What's on your mind?

"WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?", Facebook asks.

Everyday, we are bombarded with a lot of thoughts.

You go inside a bookstore to buy a pen, then you stumble on a nice book about houses, then you start to image your own house, then you realize how your current job can't get you to save up, then you start to think of quitting and finding a new job, then you get frustrated when after all, you just needed to buy a pen.

Our thoughts can jump from one thing to another. According to studies, our brains can process 400 billions of information per second and yet we are only aware of the 2000 of them. Our brains will be in state of chaos if we allow them to just wander and if we don't feed them the right way.

John Ortberg said in his book (God Is Closer Than You Think),
"Whatever repeatedly enters the mind occupies the mind, eventually shapes the mind, and will ultimately express itself in what you do and who you become. The events we attend, the materials we read (or don't), the music we listen to, the images we watch, the conversations we hold, the daydreams we entertain - these are shaping our minds. And ultimately they make our minds receptive or deaf toward the still small voice of God."

The good news is that God is able to renew our minds (Romans 12:2) and take captive of every thought that is not from Him (2 Corinthians 10:5). All we need is to invite Him in our daily lives and allow Him to do His work in us.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 
2 Timothy 1:7

Make an everyday choice to think of whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy (Phil 4:8).
