"there will always be someone who would look for you, sniff you and seeks your attention anytime, anywhere, someone who loves you even though you smell bad, just give his favorite bacon strips"

time for yourself, time to relax and time to talk to HIM

" they confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." psalm 18:18-19

"let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." hebrews 12:2

it has been days of recovery, and honestly bedrest is not for me.

i miss running, i miss jumping, i miss sitting down!, squatting, 

my restless heart is trying to knock its way out of me. 

i now know why He has made me experience this accident- to take it SLOWLY.

Lets take time for Him. 

out of our busy lives.

lets appreciate the simple things that He made for us.

appreciate nature

appreciate people around us

even though i am restless in nature, i could say that the Lord has tamed me

and grateful that he did. it is difficult at times most especially with the demands of society, everything  seems to be a race, but when we PAUSE, try to breathe and talk to him..

the time you gave Him is even far more better than running around in circles in the race of life.

run with Him and i'm sure you'll know that you'll get there :)

"therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangled us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." hebrews 12:1

such a lovely place!

jana and me

september 6, 2010. sometime 3 in the afternoon. a girl, named marga koopmans, that's me, slipped at our spiral stairs, and then a loud thug was heard- my flattened butt was thoroughly flattened all the way. :)

i thought it was just something small, not so serious but then when i tried to stand up, men, i felt something different. alvin, helped me up, it was a different feeling/sensation, it was so painful that i felt dizzy. so king helped alvin to support me go upstairs and placed me to lay in the bed.

funny. it was really painful. shocks. i didn't expect them to call an ambulance, another funny thing.

it was most of us first time riding an ambulance. awesomeness! 
there was no other way for me to go down, so they opted to call for an ambulance. They placed me in a stretcher..cool, and they were to carry me.hahaha. thanks to them i felt like a dead person.haha

at the hospital, the medical city in manila. we directly went to the trauma room. another funny thing, i did not feel so traumatized about it. there is nothing traumatic with a swollen butt..haha oh well, never mind.
nang sheena would comment: "it would be great if a trauma room would have some flowers, bees and the trees"  she has a good point with that :)

while waiting, I came to realize so many things. most especially with the people who were there.
nang sheena was the BEST. I am so happy that you were there, even to my most humiliating stature, you were there to help me! thank you from the bottom of my heart!
to the wiwi, taking a bath, the pulaws, back rubs and massage! don't know how to thank you for all that you have done for me these past few days...
I just thank the Lord for you. thank you for your heart. thank you so much nang sheen :)

to toto king and tata queen! haha!
thank you so much for being there. tata, even though ara ka na iloilo still I can feel your presence, thank you for being such a wonderful sister! toto king! thanks for always listening, and for being my christian brother! you are those people who would do everything even to hurt me, just to bring out the best of me! love you for that! :)

mr cecilio quimpo jr

you were always the one who cares, who would think of other people first before himself, I admire you so much for being that way, :) and I'm sure the Lord knows how thankful I am that I have you as a friend, a great friend :) thank you sa pulaw, sa pagpakaon, sa paload, sa yogurt indulgence ko :)hahaha!

mr alvin paver
thanks for the prayers nung, it meant a lot to me.
I know na there is something behind this experience and I lay it all to Him. I know that during these times most especially when we are tested, we get to be destructed, but for me, it made me cling to him more.  this is much better than breaking my spine or my skull. :)
thanks for being there, thanks for being you, alvin paver. :)

and to you Lord, you're the best for blessing me such amazing people.
these people who glorifies you, I have seen so much in them that shows you.
your work, your care, your word.
I am so proud to be surrounded by your people and thank you for giving them to me.

I love you and I'll continue to give you the GLORY,
always, your child
marga.

Jesus, my greatest inspiration

09.03.10

many would ask, marga, how are you? how is life? do you have a boyfriend? is someone courting you?
where is your prince charming? kadugay gd aw? (why take so long?) etc

this questions would greatly matter. before I met HIM. before I met JESUS.
Life has been so pretentious before, many would say that i'm the good girl, but truly, it was all a facade.

I am a sinner. and I have been saved by our Lord, Jesus.

Lifes' purpose was all about pleasing people, I act as what the rules would say but deep down I have an empty heart. a heart that is full of jealousy, anger, fakeness ( if there is such a term), pretense. that was me.
I have been searching for what was missing in my life, I have truly been longing for something, but I didn't really know.
It was 2 of my friends who invited me to join YFN, youth for the nation,it was a series of nights of worship and praise and that faithful night was the time I accepted Jesus.

accepting the Lord changed me. I didn't care what others would say anymore, I stopped trying to please others. I started to please HIM.
it turned me 360degrees! whoah! he made me what I am today, A faithful child of the Lord.
yes, life now is slowly showing its purpose to me and I'm deeply blessed and thankful.

matthew 11:28" come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
it's not about ME, it's all about HIM!
to God be the GLORY!

GO ORGANIC.

I don't want to sound like your mother guys, but I would like to share my new habit, new lifestyle, (in which I'm struggling, throwing away old ways - pork, chips :( , candies, chocolates, (gosh! I can't believe I'm doing this....) canned foods, the heavenly fastfood chains (except their salad menus).

okay now, enough with the bad news, let's start with the GOOD.
you might be thinking that I'm going crazy? but really there are so much to this lifestyle. :)

organic food as what I have read are grown vegetables and fruits in farms without the use of any chemicals, it is good food grown naturally. :)

 THE SUPAH ADVANTAGES :)
1. it has no chemicals. because we are so fast phased now a days, we grow our vegetables and fruits using many kinds of chemicals in order for it to produce fast. tsk, same as fast food.
2. it is good for the environment. obviously, when you have organic food, the process in which you do farming is also done naturally, so farmers preserves and takes extra care with the soil that they use for this natural goodness.
3. saves money. than eating in fast food chains, you could make an alternative such as buying salad or cooking chopsuey or any other vegetarian meal that you like.
4. saves wildlife. I'm proud to say that I don't eat pork!, I'll say it over and over again and not be ashamed of it.
5. NUTRITION. good food=good mood, what you eat is who you are. this may sound corny and unachievable. at first, you'll get a hard time most especially when you are used to eat all kinds of food I have mentioned above.

note: I am just sharing the advantages of organic food and not forcing anyone to join me, but if you do, it will be great! :) yey!
till next time guys! :)
