trust yourself

This quote from Golda Meir (former prime minister of Israel), is so inspiring. I like especially the words, "create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life." How can we be happy if we are not happy with ourselves? But we have it in our power to create someone we can be happy with! So let's go for it!

The photo is the flower of the red ginger torch lily. The bracts look like flames.

Trust

Trust is something we have to learn, especially trust in God. Corrie ten Boom said this so nicely in this quote.

The photo is a pair of slippers left by a swimmer on the beach of Boracay.

trust in the Lord

Blessed Maria Domenica's maxim which she wrote for the Camillian Sisters is also true for all of us. We really must learn to put our trust in the Lord and just in ourselves.

The photo is a trunk of a coconut left all alone at the beach. This was after the devastating typhoon that hit our place.

the glory of friendship

I don't think I can add anything more to this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. There is really a "spiritual inspiration" between friends.

The photo is a group of children who grew up together in our neighborhood.

God has perfect timing

I have experienced God's perfect timing in my life so many times already. Now I have learned to wait and be patient because God truly answers prayers, sometimes maybe not in the way we wanted it but always surely in the way that is best for us. We just need to trust and have faith.

The photo is a patch of strawberries coming out from their bed.If you notice, the fruits do not ripen at the same time. So each fruit has its own time for ripening.

Trust when you don't understand

Another quote about "trust", from Jerry Bridges. He is really into building "trust" and he does talk sense to me. Yes, God's ways are really beyond our understanding, so just have to learn to put our trust in Him!

The photo is a macro shot of raindrops clinging to the style of a flower.

Trust is an act of the soul

"Trust a vigorous act of the soul...." I like these words from Jerry Bridges. It's so empowering and inspiring. In fact, everything about the words in this quote is empowering.

The photo is a sailboat or "paraw" as it navigates of waters of Boracay during sunset.

Remain tranquil

In the world that we are in now, it's rather hard to remain tranquil. But as Blessed Maria Domenica tells us, it's possible as long as we trust in Jesus.

The photo is a ground lily that I processed in Photoshop using gradient.
