A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbows will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small
Alone in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all

You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes...

Sorting

I just finished talking to a friend and it was worth to listen to. I learned a lot and trying to undertand some points of views. Yes, and i truly understand all the doubts and speculations but tolerating it is not my type. I have to do something because silence can prolong the issue to heal. As of now i am just waiting the right time. (hope not too late).
Got an email from Y360 team that soon it will be closed. I have tons of blogs on there so i better start copying them all and move to my blog site. While scrolling all of my blogs it brought back the memories of how i felt that time when i wrote those. And then i came to a blog that feels me like flying without wings, ha ha ha.Then another page touched me. I poured out lots of emotions on that certain topic. Another one it talks about friendship and so on and so forth…so i’d like to share this blog i had. I researched it before maybe could help in some ways……………………….
Are your friends with people that constantly drain your energy, in both obvious and subtle ways? Several types of people will exhaust you or deter you from your path of extreme self-care.
The BlamerThis is a person who consistently blames you and/or everyone else for her problems. The world and the people in it always seem to create havoc for this person, and instead of taking responsibility for her life, she’d rather blame others.
The ComplainerThis person likes to hear her own voice. She constantly complains about what isn’t working in her life and yet gets energy from complaining and dumping her frustrations on you.
The DrainerThis is the needy person who calls to ask for your guidance, support, information, advice, or whatever she needs to feel better in the moment. Because of her neediness, the conversation often revolves around her, and you can almost feel the life being sucked out of you during the conversation.
The Shamer
This person can be hazardous to your health. The shamer may cut you off, put you down, reprimand you, or make fun of your or your ideas in front of others. She often ignores your boundaries and may try to convince you that her criticism is for you own good. The shamer is the kind of person who make you question your own sanity before hers.
The DiscounterThis is the person who discounts or challenges everything you say. Often, she has a strong need to be right and can find fault with any position. It can be exhausting to have a conversation with the discounter, so eventually you end up giving in and deciding to just listen.
The GossipThis person avoids intimacy by talking about others behind their backs. The gossip gets energy from relaying stories, opinions, and the latest “scoop.” By gossiping about others, she creates a lack of safety in her relationships, whether she realizes it or not. After all, if she’ll talk about someone else, she’ll talk about you.
OR:
The Developer
Your best friend will always be the person who brings out the very best in you. Developer friends will bring the gift of encouragement and bring out the very best..

The Designer
We tend to think of mentors as a personal, hands-on coach. The Latin and Greek define them more as “advisors” or “wise men.”

The designer mentors us in our marriage, ministry, child-rearing, civic involvement, business acumen, or any area where we need a model. Designer mentors may live near or far, be acquaintances or strangers, or may even be dead. They “design” our lives through Scripture, books, tapes, articles, or seminars.
The Disturber
We need friends who will shake up our status quo. Disturbers ask us difficult questions, forcing us to take a closer look at motivations and ambitions. Disturbers know when we have retreated into our comfort zones, and they call us out to greater effectiveness. God uses disturbers in our lives to become the object of greater force that breaks inertia and propels us to greater achievement.

A biblical picture of a disturber is in Deuteronomy 32:11. In this passage the mother eagle tears up the soft nest to reveal sharp thorns that bring discomfort to the eaglets. Because of discomfort, the eaglets leave the nest and learn to fly. The mother develops her young by repeatedly pushing them out of the nest and catching them until they become skilled flyers. Eagles were never meant to stay in the nest and neither were we. The disturber pushes us to learn to fly.
The Discerner
In a lifetime of relationships, perhaps only a handful of people are willing to play this vital role because it requires mutual vulnerability. More popularly known as accountability partners, discerners bring the gift of spiritual insight into our lives. They know how to speak the truth in love. They know how to exhort and rebuke, seeking to keep their friend on the right track. They are also vulnerable—the true friends who will walk into the room of your life while everyone else is walking out.

Proverbs 27:6 reads, “The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.” Always be slow in choosing your discerners and even slower in leaving them.
Choose which one is you…HHmmm ..

To Whom I can Turn To?

From time to time, everyone needs to bend or lend an ear. We all have issues, concerns, problems, challenges to meet or decisions to make. Sometimes, we just need a sounding board–someone who can give advice or suggestions–or simply someone to really listen and hear us. Just talking about things can be cathartic, calming, energizing and/or clarifying. It is at these times, when things come down so thick you feel like you should wear a hat, that we typically turn to our spouses, friends or family and, of course, to God in prayer.

Then there are those times when a problem or an issue is so personal, so sensitive or painful or embarrassing that we might not feel we can share it even with those with whom we have the closest relationships. Or maybe we feel we’ve already discussed it too much with family members and friends, and they are tired of hearing about it. Perhaps, our trouble is of a spiritual nature.

There are also times when the issues may be too sensitive to share . After all, as humans we sometimes behave in ways that might not be considered too “faith-like.” Sometimes we need someone who can listen from an unbiased, open, non-critical and nonjudgmental perspective. Knowing when to go to family and friends can be a difficult decision but one well worth the thought and effort.

As it is often said: “Life is the Great Adventure.” It can be such a wonderful, joyful adventure. However, it’s not always a smooth adventure, and the journey we take in life and in faith can be bumpy. It’s full of turns and surprises, joys and disappointments, brambles and thorns, questions and struggles, raging seas and still waters. It is a journey of growth, change and discernment. It is a journey in which we all need to recognize the benefit of bending an ear and when and which ear we need to bend. Or lend. But it’s a journey in which we are not alone. We are accompanied by our spouses and partners, our family and friends,to provide therapeutic solutions with an open ear.

And, of course, it is a journey we make with God. We can always go to God. An ear that’s always available for bending; an ear that’s always nurturing; an ear that’s always loving; and an ear that’s always accepting. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I thank God for the gift of person you are.
I thank God for the wonderful days.
And above all i thank God for having a great time together.

God bless us everyone.

Keep Smiling and be blessed as always.

I’m A Celebrity, Get me out of here (In the Jungle)

I love reality tv shows except Big Brothers American version. And i thought it will be boring, kinda, but i was wrong. In fact it’s very interesting and find it very funny and touchy at times. And i love all the cast. It Made my night every time i’m watching it. This kind of show helps me motivating from stressful day. Way to go, but one more week and the show is over. And what i like is that they played for a cause which is good that something benefits their hardship living in the jungle. What a good heart.

America’s Got Talent

The anticipated show has just started. It thrilled me all the way. I mean some silly talents and some are just ridiculous and no sense. But you can also find heartwarming, overwhelming God-given gift. It amazed me and touched me in special way to those who has something and really captured the heart of all viewers. Tears and laughs from inspirational talented individuals, young or old. Another show that made my night and looking forward for another episodes. It really shows that this kind of touching moment also a gateway of proving we are unique.

Way to go…
