A Girl’s Notebook :)

My bestfriend’s(daisy) gift for me on my 25th birthday which was 2 years ago was a book. It is called Bible Promises for you.

Honestly, I have not read the book yet, up until today. I know that everyone of us has our own problems in life. It could be about money, our family and many other things. We often find ourselves caught in anxieties. We feel depressed. We are in fear. We have lots of worries, and we get tempted.

I do find myself bounded within life’s challenges and just don’t know how to get out of it. So then I went to my closet and looked for the said book. I told myself that it is time for me to read it. Be inspired and be more faithful.

It was really inspiring and I’d like to share it with you.
God’s Word – the BIBLE, is full of promises.
Promises made to His children whom He loves.
Because God is God, and His very nature is truth,
He cannot be unfaithful to these promises.
Everything that He has promised to each of us,
We can trust Him to carry out completely.

Remember that these verses are God’s guarantees
to us, His children. Through prayer and practice,
these promises can become part of our life,
giving us hope, joy and victory.

MONEY

I’m worried about money. Will God provide for my everyday needs? 

• My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 NIV
• The Lord is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing. Psalm 23:1 NIV
• If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else He wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? Romans 8:32 THE MESSAGE

 FAMILY

My parents don’t always understand me. How should I respond to them?

• A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. Proverbs 10:1 NIV
• If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than tan unbeliever. I Timothy 5:8 NIV
• Respect your father and mother, and you will live a long and successful life in the land I am giving you. Deuteronomy 5:16 CEV

ANXIETY

I’m full of anxiety. Where can I find peace?

• Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? Luke 12:22-23, 25 NRSV
• If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace. Romans 8:6 CEV
• Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

DEPRESSION

I feel depressed, desperate. Where’s the light at the end of the tunnel?

• I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit; out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalm 40:1-2 NIV
• Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God. Psalm 42:11
• And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love. Romans 5:5 NLT

FEAR

I’m afraid. Where can I turn for help?

• Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord is the one who goes before you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT
• God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble. And so, we won’t be afraid! Let the earth tremble and the mountains tumble into the deepest sea. Psalm 46:1-2 CEV
• The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10 NIV

WORRIES

Some nights I lie awake and worry. Can God help me slee?

• When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24 NIV
• I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me. Psalm 3:5 NRSV
• He grants sleep to those he loves. Psalm 127:2 NIV

TEMPTATION

Forbidden things seem so appealing. What should I do when I’m tempted?

• So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while punishing the wicked right up until the day of judgment. 2 Peter 2:9 NLT
• Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. James 4:7-8 NRSV
• When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone. James 1:13 NIV

My nephews JB and JC spent a 2-week vacation in our house. JB is 2 and JC is one. Ofcourse, Nonet was very happy. But our house was a mess. Hehehe!!! Having 3 toddlers who are so restless, playful and very “makulit”, our neighbors will actually hear me yelling at the top my voice..

That’s Nonet. JB is the one pointing to the camera, while JC is busy with her feeding bottle.

This is JC. He’s the youngest of the two sons of my cousin, Catherine.

This one is JB and Tita Patty. 

Wonder what brand of diaper they’re wearing?!?

This Nica. She’s 8 months old. She’s the daughter of my cousin Christopher.

I’ve got five more nieces and nephews in my father’s side of the family.

These are my Ate Marianne’s children with my sister, Patty. The one in yellow sando is Lawrence. Then Yves is in red. Danielle Ericka who’s in pink, is the eldest. And Audrey is baby my sister is holding.

This is Hans Lawrence.

This is Stephanie Nicole. She’s the daughter of my cousin Vernadette.

My sisters and other cousins say that Ykay(Danielle Ericka) is the prettiest among them. I agree. But, the cutest and smartest among the cousins is none other than..

…Antoinette Ylea Jesuita. Where did she get her beauty and smartness? Well, do I really need to answer that?

I will still post interesting topics in this page which will be different from what I have in agirlsnotebook. Also, my older posts had been mirrored to that new site.

See you there as well!
