Balance / Balanse
You Are a Blue Flower |
A blue flower tends to represent peace, openness, and balance. At times, you are very delicate like a cornflower. And at other times, you are wise like an iris. And more than you wish, you're a little cold, like a blue hydrangea. |

Thank You
Thank you, God, for the blessings. They say blessings are embraces and when you thank them, you embrace God back. That's a comforting thought.
Please guide me to become a better individual in all aspects, especially doing the household work.
Love yah!

Beginning Life Anew
What brings Mary Magdalene to the cemetery at dawn? How has she mustered the courage, knowing that to be identified as a follower of Jesus is to incur the ire of his killers? Is it just raw courage that impels her to go to the burial place? Or is it her own overwhelming need to be close to Jesus and pour out her sorrows?
It is not only courage and sorrow that drive Mary to her Lord's tomb but love. She is there because she loves Jesus. He freed her from seven devils, from which we could infer that she lived a sinful life. These accounts gave rise tot he notion that Mary was once a prostitute, although no solid evidence, supposted this. We may surmise that she was a deeply wounded person and Jesus' love healed her. Bereft of malice or prejudice, Jesus' compassionate love gave her a sense of direction and purpose.
Mary is devastated when she sees that the stone has been moved away from the tomb. She is afraid that the body of Jesus has been stolen. She does not think that Jesus rose from the dead. Neither does Peter not John to whom Mary Magdalene reports the disappearance of Jesus' body: "For they did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead."
Two persons may look at the same thing yet see things differently. All that Peter sees was the cloth that covered the head of Jesus and the burial clothes. The gospel does not tell us that Peter has come to believe. John sees precisely the same things inside the tomb yet he believes.
When we reckon only with our heads, our outlook is necessarily limited. The moment we think with our hearts, our view of life expands. We are energized; we hope for better things and imagine new possibilities.
John is called the "Beloved" or "the disciple whom Jesus loved." He considers things not only with his head but with his heart, he believes. Though he does not comprehend the good news of the resurrection, in his heart he nurtures the hope that Jesus was not vanquished. John sees beyond the neat arrangement of the cloth that covered the head of Jesus and the burial clothes. He believes that his Master had noabandoned him.
After forty days of Lenten penance, we exult in the joy of Easter, the most important feast of Christendom. But Easter does not bring magical solutions to our problems. Like Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John, we continue to grapple with problems in this life and try to find sense and meaning to painful experiences of loss and death.
Mary Magdalene keeps in her heart how God rescued her from a dark past, healed her of her woundedness and gave her a chance to rise on her feet and begin life anew. John nurtures the Lord's unconditional love and shares it with his disciples. This is the same unconditional love God gives us that we may be healed, rise where we have fallen, and begin to live anew.

Returning a Precious Shell to the Sea
Not too long ago my husband and one of his best friends had a
tiff. After telling me what had happened, my husband told me to
delete his friend's name from the cell phone speed dial.
I hesitated and told him he was just angry and not to act too
quickly. He insisted he would attempt to do it himself if I
didn't, so I did. That is when I had my MountainWings Moment.
I told him, "It's easy to delete his name from the phone, but be
careful about deleting him from your life. Friends are
blessings from God and even though sometimes they disappoint us,
we should realize they are just human."
From nowhere (I know now it was the Holy Spirit) I said,
"What if God deleted our names from the Book of Life every time
we let Him down? I wouldn't have a chance because I know I fail
to live up to His expectations everyday."
Nothing else was said but I thought about it for a very long
time. We so often let anger cause us to banish people from our
lives for the most trivial reasons, only to regret it, sometimes
after it's too late.
Thankfully my husband and his friend worked things out and their
friendship survived. What I learned most from the experience
was how grateful I am that I serve a loving God who doesn't
delete me just because I let Him down.
----------------------------------------------
And then again William Blake also said:
It is easier to forgive an enemy, than to forgive a friend.
----------------------------------------------
Making a fool of myself in her party would always be one thing I regret doing in my life. Yes, I learned from that folly but it came with a price. I lost her. I didn't stop there, I also hurt those close to her.
I wish her a good start in her new life in another country. I wish her well. I know we are not friends anymore, but iu's okay.
Once upon a time, we were.
I've accepted that. I learn from this loss. I brought it all to myself.
I can't say I will miss her, like what most of her friends have been saying lately, coz I've been missing her, really. Not will. I have been missing her.
And I'm sorry for everything I've done.
I cannot change the past, neither can I really find closure in the incident. The only way for me to heal is to do my best to not let it happen again.
Good bye.

"What if God deleted our names from the Book of Life every time
we let Him down? I wouldn't have a chance because I know I fail
to live up to His expectations everyday."
Nothing else was said but I thought about it for a very long
time. We so often let anger cause us to banish people from our
lives for the most trivial reasons, only to regret it, sometimes
after it's too late.
Thankfully my husband and his friend worked things out and their
friendship survived. What I learned most from the experience
was how grateful I am that I serve a loving God who doesn't
delete me just because I let Him down.
----------------------------------------------
And then again William Blake also said:
It is easier to forgive an enemy, than to forgive a friend.
----------------------------------------------
Making a fool of myself in her party would always be one thing I regret doing in my life. Yes, I learned from that folly but it came with a price. I lost her. I didn't stop there, I also hurt those close to her.
I wish her a good start in her new life in another country. I wish her well. I know we are not friends anymore, but iu's okay.
Once upon a time, we were.
I've accepted that. I learn from this loss. I brought it all to myself.
I can't say I will miss her, like what most of her friends have been saying lately, coz I've been missing her, really. Not will. I have been missing her.
And I'm sorry for everything I've done.
I cannot change the past, neither can I really find closure in the incident. The only way for me to heal is to do my best to not let it happen again.
Good bye.

It's been a great morning, a great afternoon and will be a great evening!
Romance Style
You are a Traditional
Red roses, chocolates and champagne say it all for you. Whether you're playing Prince Charming or looking for him, you want things to be right out of a fairy tale. Traditional females have a harder time in love than male ones -- if theyou're not paired with someone who can show them affection, they may retreat into a world of romance novels and Nora Ephron movies. Traditional males are generally snatched up like hotcakes!

Your Romantic Compatibility:
Traditional-Traditional: A traditional wedding is in the not-so-distant future. He’ll ask your father for your hand in marriage, you’ll wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. A piece of the cake will be stored for your first child’s christening. You’ll live blissfully ever after.
Sexual Style
You are a Spicy
You like it hot! You have a healthy sexual appetite and your sense of playfulness and adventure really excites your mate. Although you don’t blindly, or unsafely, say yes to any sexual escapade, your list of ‘never-evers’ is not that long.

Communication Style

Astrological Compatibility:
When two Librans come together, they form one of the most soothing, agreeable, well-balanced relationships around. The Libra duo hums with harmony and seeks to spread this evenness over everything they come in contact with. This team actively works against unfairness and injustice, and their commitment to one another, as well as their loving devotion, makes theirs a delightful combination and an asset to the community.
The best aspect of the Libra-Libra relationship is their incredible sense of diplomacy, kindness and shared respect for one another. Together, they complement each other's dedication to stop the causes of injustice in the surrounding community. Their love and devotion are deep and their commitment to each other incomparable.
