Wow! We’re on Day 8 already, Planned for God’s Pleasure , following Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life. My friend decided on taking off the weekends and it benefited me a lot as I reflect further on the Chapters that we took the entire week… The Gift: The Journey with a Chaffeur I humbly admit that it wasn’t an easy task to discuss my reflections with somebody else. As a young missionary in the late 1990s, we were accompanied by a Spiritual Director, who helped us discern the direction of our journey. But then later on, we were taught to stand on our own and discernment was carried on with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. At first, my friend and I were using ‘our’ words (what we know of and what we’ve learned). We were stuck with the beliefs we have formed through years of experience.  Everything seemed ‘mental’ and ‘intellectual.’ I wasn’t edified as much but as the days went by, my friend started using God’s Words through the Psalms he shared. I ceased judgi...

I was up earlier than my usual waking up hours. I read the Gospel for the day and supplemented it with Day 5 of The Purpose Driven Life. Google image  Road to Emmaus Luke 24:13-35 NIV I’ve been journeying with a new friend these past couple of days (sent perhaps per   scocciare l'anima mia to move back to my center ). He praised my earlier writings. that led me to read my own blog. Somehow, he has influenced me in re-assessing my intentions for keeping it. I’ve been writing more for me than for other people. I never imagined myself a ‘guru’ nor an ‘inspiration,’ much less a 'counsellor.' I was surprised by the term ‘life coach.’ Back then, we only had spiritual directors, confessors, formators and psychologists. It’s pretty interesting. But the common thing about these terms is ‘ accompaniment ’~a word I liked most from my SD ~ pretty much like Jesus and the two disciples walking in Emmaus. I write what the Spirit blows and my faith experiences. If I’ve led ev...

Note: These are adapted images (from cards, newspaper, photos) so they are NOT for commercial use . As we celebrate Mother’s Day tomorrow,                                                I would like to thank my mother who has planted the seeds of faith and love of God in my heart. She has lifted me up in face of difficulties.  I love you Mom! And to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ and our Mother, for her prayers and intercession.  I owe the mirac...

“ Life is meant to be shared ,”  was Rick Warren's opening statement to the 18th Chapter of The Purpose-Driven Life.  I think I'm going to engage forty days of my life in re-reading this book, I told myself. I had just experienced a miracle and it was a step forward to changing the course of my life. It was a 'momentary' consolation ~ an Easter gift from the Risen Christ. And I felt Him calling me some place else. Where, when and how, I'm still in the process of discerning ~ the way I'm redesigning my VB these past couple of months.   What is it that God wishes me to do   right now ?   at this moment ? The force of Spring --- mysterious, fecund, powerful beyond measure . ~ Micahel Garofalo,   beliefnet:Inspirational Quotes that Celebrate Springtime I had these moments of revival ~ coming back here regularly ~ when a friend took particular interest in my writing. To paraphrase what he said, " Oh no, it's not the moment to take yo...
