 Newsong \ When God Made You

(Guys)

Its always been a mystery to me,
How two hearts can come together,
And love can last forever.
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
So gone are all my questions about why,
And i’ve never been so sure of anything in my life

~chorus~

Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.

(Girls)

Ooo ooo,I promise that wherever you may go, wherever life may lead you,
With all my heart I’ll be there too.
And from this moment on I want you to know,
I’ll let nothing come between us, and I will love the ones you love.
(guy):So gone are all my questions about why (girl echoes):about why


Duet:Oh I wonder what God was thinking when he created you,
I wonder if He knew everythin I would need,
Because He made all my dreams come true.
When God made you He must’ve been thinking about me.

Bridge

He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can’t do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know its true,
Your for me and i’m for you and my world
Just cant be right without you in my life

Chorus

(guy) He must have heard every prayer I’ve been praying (girl echo)
I’ve been praying (both)He must’ve knew everything I would need

When God made you, He must’ve been thinking about me.

IF by Rudyard Kipling.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!

May you have:           

Enough success to keep you eager, Enough failure to keep you humble,

Enough joy to share with others, Enough trials to keep you strong,

Enough hope to keep you happy,    Enough faith to banish depression,

Enough friends to give you comfort, Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday.

Let year 2009 be a bright and better brand new beginning for you and me!

Anyone who has gone through the agony of losing someone she/he loves so much will still wish against all odds to have that love back again. But sometimes a love lost is a love gone forever. No amount of hope can bring back to life a relationship that just died a natural death. Set yourself free. Let your heart spread its wings and fly. Remember, it may rain for 40days and 40 nights, but still will not rain forever. One day the pouring will stop and there will be plenty of branches where you can find rest. One of these is where you will build your nest and start over again. It’s never too late.  Remember, you may find love and lose it but “when love dies, you never have to die with it.

Remember, you cannot be a redeemer all your life.  The best way to weigh a relationship is out it in the test of fire. You cannot be a sooner of your mistake forever.  Remember, we all fall and make wrong decisions but our blunders are meant not to bury us deep in misery but to teach us the valued lessons of life.  Loving is always a learning process. With love, we learn how to care and sacrifice. We learn to share and reach out.  We learn to be unselfish and give more than we can and when everything doesn’t end well, we learn how it feels like to fall and get hurt.  But learning doesn’t have to end there.  After our fall, we strive to get back on our feet and move on.  This is where we learn that LIFE DOESN’T END WHERE OUR HEARTACHES BEGIN THERE IS NO FUTURE IN A RELATIONSHIP OF LIES AND SELFISHNESS.

It’s true, there is life in love. But, there can still be life even after losing love if you leave the past behind and let your heart heal and give you the chance to find your self again. The success of a relationship lies not only in the beauty of its beginning but in its consistency.  Make a choice not on impulse but a decision based on a healthy balance of mind and heart.  Let us always remember that HAPPINESS IS NOT A MATTER OF DESTINY BUT A MATTER OF CHOICE.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of its when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than friendship.  We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FORGET SOMEONE YOU LOVE.  WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN IS HOWTO ACCEPT THE VERDICT OF REALITY WITHOUT BEING BITTER OR SORRY FOR YOURSELF. YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF GIVING THAT THE DEDICATION AND LOVE TO SOMEONE MORE DESERVING.

Don’t let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow.

IF YOU LOSE LOVE, THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE FAILED IN LOVE. CRY IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT MAKE SURE THAT TEARS WASH AWAYTHE HURT AND THE BITTERNESS THAT THE PAST LEFT YOU WITH. LET GO OF YESTERDAY AND LOVE WILL FIND ITS WAY BACK TO YOU AND WHEN IT DOES, PRAY THAT IT MAY BE THE LOVE THAT WILL STAY AND LAST A LIFETIME.

A woman on the rebound could easily fall for sweeping emotions and be made to falsely believe that she finally stumbled upon the right man when what she just found is only someone to cover up for the love she lost. A man who makes a promise with words and not with actions may never live up to fulfill them.

ITS TRUE THAT LOVE CAN WAIT FOREVER BUT IT IS CRAZY TO STUBBORNLY HOPE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T EVEN CARE OR UNDERSTAND HOW WE FEEL.
Love makes us see things through rose-colored glasses. Most of the time, we fail to recognize the danger sign that light up along our way. This feeling you have nurtured for so long isn’t healthy anymore. You must realize that you have to let go now before it consumes you and your sanity. There is always a time to think and stop. A time to be sensible and not allow our hearts to rule over our heads.

YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY NOT IN THE ARMS OF A MAN WHO KEEPS YOU WAITING BUT IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE YOU NOW AND LOVE YOU FOREVER.

If loving a person who is attached to someone else is a crime, then, maybe, many of us would have been jailed long before we realize what its consequences could have been. Loving someone is never a sin. It is what people do out of love that sometimes makes it all wrong. The selfish desire to want that person is what makes it a sin.

DON’T THINK ONLY OF YOUR FEELINGS FOR REAL LOVE DOESN’T HAVE A PLACE FOR SELFISH PEOPLE.

When there is love, there is always sacrifice.  When we love someone, we never easily give up on that person. Even if we get hurt badly we always try to find a way to ease the pain and learn to understand and forgive.  Loving too much doesn’t hurt.  It is when we expect this love to be reciprocated that we begin to seek approval and acceptance of the things we have done and when we are taken for granted and rejected, we curse the very same love that we once freely and happily offered.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER REALLY CARED
ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD HAVE FELT. OPEN YOUR HEART AGAIN AND GIVE YOURSELF THE CHANCE TO FIND THE MAN WHO WOULD MAKE LOVING WORTH THE PAIN AND THE SACRIFICE.

Just like anything else, our love grows weak and dies if not taken cared of. It can keep up with pain only to a certain extent. Beyond that, it withers without any hope of recovery and soon dies.

GOD WAKES US UP IN THE MIDST OF A STORM TO TEACH US A LESSON. HE TAKES AWAY PEOPLE WE LOVE SO WE CAN LEARN TO VALUE LOVE ITSELF.  HE MAKES US CRY SO HARD SO WE CAN SEE CLEARLY WHEN WE OPEN OUR EYES. HE MAKES US BITTER SO WE CAN REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO GENUINE HAPPINESS IF WE THINK ONLY OF OUR NEEDS AND NOT OF OTHRES.

Relationships built on jealousy and selfishness are doomed from the very beginning. The hardest part of losing love is letting go and moving on. Most of us cry endlessly over things that could have been but never will be.

God allows us to experience pain to make us stronger and better persons. He will see us through the most trying and difficult times in our lives and only if we put our trust in Him can we learn to find joy in our tears and happiness in our sorrows.

In many failed relationships, separation comes as the inevitable choice but moving on always proves to be twice as difficult as letting go.  Sometimes, the end of a relationship is imposed on us, but our choice to hold on is always beyond the control of circumstance. Letting go is a decision that can never be dictated on us. It is a resolve we make ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new beginning and Time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its fearful shadow, there will always be light after our darkest and loneliest moments. There is always a hope for those who believe. There is always a chance for those who try.

LOSING SOMEONE WE LOVE MAY NOT BE A LOSS AT ALL BUT A BLESSING BECAUSE SOMEONE EVEN MORE DESERVING IS YET TO COME.

There is nothing wrong in expressing our feelings to someone we love, but we must always be sensitive to the signals that tells us when to rationalize and be sensible.

There comes a time in our lives when we would fall for someone who wouldn’t be as interested as we are because his attention is focused on someone else. There are many times when we love but don’t get loved in return.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE SIGN AHEAD SAYS STOP BUT WE STILL STUBBORNLY HEAD ON.

We would say our love is unconditional. But if it really is, then we should never feel bad. But
why do we get frustrated when love turns sour? Because we still subconsciously seek
acceptance and assurance from the people we care about.

BEING IN LOVE CAN BE THE MOST WONDERFUL THING WE COULD EXPERIENCE
BUT IF THE FEELING BEGINS TO CONSUME OUR WHOLE BEINGS, THEN WE HAVE TO STOP AND LET OUR MINDS AND NOT OUR HEARTS DICTATE OUR ACTIONS. 
ONLY WHEN WE LEARN TO ACCEPT OUR FATE AND UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF OUR FAILURES CAN WE TRULY GO ON WITH LIFE WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK BACK AND CRY OVER THE THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BUT WILL NEVER BE….

Here are snippets of wisdom that i’ve learned from Randy Pausch’s ..The Last Lecture..

  • Anything is POSSIBLE.
  • Brick walls are there for A  REASON–it is there to give us a way  to show how much we want something.
  • Have a sense of FUN  and WONDER  all the time. NEVER  underestimate the value of fun.
  • Be HUMBLE all the time.
  • People vs Things — dont put too much value on things.
  • Work and play with others.
  • Always tell the TRUTH.
  •  Live with INTEGRITY.
  • When you screw up…APOLOGIZE — say im sorry, its was fault and how do i make it right.
  • No one is pure evil, they will show you their good side..Just be PATIENT.
  • Show GRATITUDE.
  • Dont COMPLAIN, just work HARDER.

Live your life right and KARMA will take care of itself….Lead your life the right way and your dreams will come to you..

TIME OF MY LIFE
by David Cook

I.
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
and looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon I couldn’t see it

Refrain:
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn

Chorus:
And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

II.
Holding onto things that vanished Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Refrain 2:
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

Chorus 2:
And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Bridge:
And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

Chorus 3:
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time

This is the time of my life

This is the time of my life

24 Things to Remember

Collin McCarty


Your presence is a present to the world.
You’re unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You’ll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.
Don’t put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don’t take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember that a little love goes a long way…
Remember that a lot…goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life’s treasures are people…together.
Realize that it’s never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take time to wish upon a star.
And don’t ever forget…for even a day…
How very special you are.

  • Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensyahan. Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan. Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Nagse-self pity ako tuwing sisigawan mo ako.
  • Kapag mahina ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng “Binge!” paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat na lang. Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina ang tuhod ko, pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo, katulad ng pag-alalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad. Pagpasensiyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay nagiging makulit at paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka. Basta pakinggan mo na lang ako. Huwag mo sana akong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan. Natatandaan mo anak nuong bata ka pa? Kapag gusto mo ng lobo o laruan, paulit-ulit mo ‘yong sasabihin, maghapon kang mangungulit hanga’t hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo. Pinagtyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.

  • Pagpasensiyahan mo na rin sana ang aking amoy. Amoy matanda. Amoy lupa. Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo. Mahina na ang katawan ko. Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan, huwag mo sana akong pandirihan. Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kitang habulin sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo.
  • Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako’y masungit, dala na marahil ito ng katandaan. Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin. Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo, kahit sandali lang. inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa. Walang kausap. Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho, subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik na akong makakwentuhan ka, kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko. Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol sa iyong teddy bear.
  • At kapag dumating ang sandalina ako’y magkasakit at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman, huwag mo sana akong pagsawaan alagaan. Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi sa higaan, pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay. Tutal hindi naman ako magtatagal. Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw, hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay at bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan. At huwag kang mag-alala, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha, ibubulong ko sa kanya na pagpalain ka sana ……dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama’t ina…… —
  • Written by Rev. Fr. Ariel F. Robles CWL Spiritual Director St Augustine Parish Baliuag, Bulacan

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

there will always be sunshine,

after the rain ….

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,

But God’s always ready,

To answer your call …

He knows every heartache,

sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

can calm every fear …

Your sorrows may linger,

throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

in dawn’s early light …

The Savior is waiting,

somewhere above,

To give you His grace,

and send you His love…

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

"God always sends rainbows ….

after the rain … "
