Trust in God

Blessed Maria Domenica, the foundress of the Camillian Sisters, wrote a maxim for every day of the year as a guide and inspiration for the sisters belonging to their congregation. However, I think that these maxims can inspire not only the sisters but also just about anybody especially those who also serve the Lord in their own way.

So today, I am sharing one of her maxims which I partnered with my photo of her statue found in the Camillian Sisters convent here in the Philippines.

When We Pray

 I love this quote from Terri Guillemets about how prayer affects us and the world around us! It's simply so inspiring! Don't you think so?

discovery

We can discover new things, new insights every day if we only look at everything with new eyes or with new heart. Don't you think so?

I love this quote from Marcel Proust!

I took this photo in Boracay, my favorite island. I was using my telephoto lens then, so these two guys did not know that I was taking their photo.

The Glory of God

I took this photo from the plane window as we were flying to Iloilo City from Manila. I was lucky to get a window seat so I had fun taking photos of the clouds and the mountains underneath. I thought this photo goes well with this quote of Psalm 19:1.

Thank you God for all your wonderful creations!

For Every Drop of Rain that Falls

I love this song, "I believe". The lyrics are what immediately came to mind when I uploaded this photo of raindrops on my computer.

The whole song is so inspirational and I always get goosebumps every time I sing it. I think, one of these days, I will make another "photoquote" with the other sections of the lyrics

It has been recorded by so many artists, from Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley and the Lettermen such that it is now hard to determine who wrote the original song. That's why I just wrote "unknown" as the author.

Anyway, here is the whole song:

"I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows.
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows.
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way.
I believe, I believe.

I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r will still be heard.
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word.
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, or touch a leaf or see the sky,
Then I know why I believe!"

Boldness has Magic

If you noticed, I have several quotes about dreams. Yesterday's post was about believing in your dreams. Another post talks about the beauty of dreams. Today, I am sharing about the boldness required to make our dreams come true. Keep on dreaming!

The background is a combination of photo and digital painting. I painted the sun and layered it with my photo of a tree. Then I blended them together using gradients. I love how everything turned out including the quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Make Your Dreams Come True

If we want to make our dreams come true, we really have to work on them ourselves. 

I combined this quote about dreams from  Leon J. Suenes with my photo of this boy who I found playing in a park. I just love the innocence and happiness on this boy's face. 

I actually climbed another branch of the tree just so I could get his photo.
