Heart, Caution
When I am weak, You make me strong When I’m in darkness, You bring me light When the load is too hard to bear, You lighten it When there is bitterness in my Spirit, You overcome it with sweetness When my heart questions, You give me peace

Interesting turn of events.
My heart will choose to say…blessed be Your name.
dionce asked: Dear Hanners,
Both of us being people who grew up in Christian families, we know that alone does not give you salvation. What was the moment you knew that you were not just a kid who grew up in a Christian home, but a child of God who had a real genuine relationship with Christ?

It wasn't me up there, it was You.
God fill me in whatever that I am lacking. Intensify this hunger and magnify this desire in my knowing You. Take away the indifference from my spirit. Have Your wonderful way and perfect will within me. Amen.
Excerpt from Captivating

I need to get something off my chest.
It’s not easy putting to death all these worldly affairs, these things of the flesh. My heart lags behind and is too obese for me to carry. Please, dear heart, it’s time for your restoration. I accept it, these mounds of consequences. I accept that this is where You’re placing me Lord. I don’t know why and I can’t see past right...
Directive will vs. Permissive will
The message tonight was titled God’s Leading and one of the many important points was how it’s so easy to end up in the permissive will category. The permissive will is known as plan B, what God allows to happen when we make mistakes. As opposed to the permissive will, the directive will is God’s original, purpose driven, i’m-going-to-enjoy-every-blessing category ie. plan...
Mail Capsule Surprise
A friend just emailed me - my friend in the present but she sent it 4 months ago through some site…So cool! I feel loved and blessed to have close friends that understand and encourage. Mad props friends!
Here’s a little taste of what she wrote:
“I encourage you to praise God at all times! Most ESPECIALLY in the difficult times. What people might not realize is that praising...

Dear Nanay
I can feel my mothers burning eyes staring at me even though I’m not looking at her - totally was listening to my conversation on the phone. Oh man, Filipino Mothers and their crazy sayings and theories.

Nomadic and sleepless
This has got to stop. Late nights resort to endless thinking and I don’t like thinking this late.
Open book: I had an epiphany tonight but it’s a secret.
