Goal

"My goal is to bring everyone happiness, including myself." -Kaye Pingol

Transformation

"Life forms us. Sin deforms us. School informs us. But only God transforms us." -via Lorryzel Badajos

Values

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." -Luke 12:34

"Every virtue in your soul is a precious ornament which makes you dear to God and to man. But holy purity, the queen of virtues, the angelic virtue, is a jewel so precious that those who possess it become like the angels of God in Heaven, even though clothed in mortal flesh." -St. John Bosco

Pokemon

"Haha come to think of it, God is like a good pokemon trainer, [be]cause a good pokemon trainer will never put [H]is pokemon through a battle they cannot win. [A] good pokemon trainer will always know the best moves for the pokemon, whether or not the pokemon knows it or not. A good pokemon trainer is with the pokemon every single time their exp[erience] goes up, always at their side. He’ll never hold just one pokemon, [be]cause [H]e knows that a pokemon will always need a team to help [H]im. [A]s [H]is pokemon, [H]e works through us to capture wild pokemon so that [H]e can also take care of them." -Sean Santos

Math

"101%

My being a person who LOVES math, I found this little math thing very enjoyable as well as something to think about - i hope you enjoy it like I did

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Here’s a little mathematical formula that might helpanswer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

God Bless"

Unity

"Just as Philosophy unites Religion and Science, Faith unites the Heart and the Mind."

"You have to choose to be happy. Don’t sit back and expect outside forces or God to stimulate your emotions all the time. Just as you choose God, then you choose love, you choose hope, you choose faith, you choose happiness.

Fight the good fight. Offer ALL that you are to Him. Offer everything that you are to Him. Don’t give him pieces like just your heart, or just your mind, or just your body, because He wants ALL of you. Not part of you.

That is faith, uniting all that you are, and giving it up to Him.

Uniting the rules, uniting the freedom, uniting the self."

“Once you master the rules, you can be free.”

"God wants unity, not uniformity." -Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life

"…Christ doesn’t become fragmented in us. Rather, we become unified in Him. We don’t reduce Christ to what we are; He raises us to what He is." -1 Corinthians 10:15-18

Silence

"The sum of a man's problems come from his inability to be alone in a silent room." -Blaise Pascal

"You could think of His silence as a sign that everything is going as planned."

Appearance

"Humans look at outward appearances, but the LORD looks into the heart." -1 Samuel 16:7

Acts 1:8

"Are you lost? Do you call yourself a Christian, but act like a completely different person outside of Church? Are you afraid to talk to your friends about God or what He has done in your life? Do not be ashamed to let people know you're a Christian and to let God's light shine through you. I want to reach the people I know who can't answer no to the first three questions. I want them to know what I know..." -Acts 1:8 (Msg)

Regret

"Regret is a lesson you never learned." -via Erin Tangco

Sleep

"You should sleep earlier. Being tired during the day hinders you from giving your 100% service to God." -via Jeffery Gache

Punishment

I will correct thee in measure. (Jeremiah 30:11)

To be left uncorrected would be a fatal sign: it would prove that the Lord had said, "He is given unto idols, let him alone." God grant that such may never be our portion! Uninterrupted prosperity is a thing to cause fear and trembling. As many as God tenderly loves He rebukes and chastens: those for whom He has no esteem He allows to fatten themselves without fear, like bullocks for the slaughter. It is in love that our heavenly Father uses the rod upon His children.

Yet see, the correction is in measure: He gives us love without measure but chastisement "in measure." As under the old law no Israelite could receive more than the "forty stripes save one," which ensured careful counting and limited suffering; so is it with each afflicted member of the household of faith-every stroke is counted. It is the measure of wisdom, the measure of sympathy, the measure of love, by which our chastisement is regulated. Far be it from us to rebel against appointments so divine. Lord, if Thou standest by to measure the bitter drops into my cup, it is for me cheerfully to take that cup from Thy hand and drink according to Thy directions, saying, "Thy will be done." -C. H. Spurgeon

Death

“You can shed tears that they are gone, or you can smile because they have lived. You can close your eyes and pray that they’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all there’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see them, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember them only that they are gone, or you can cherish their memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what they’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.” -David Harkins

Self-Respect

"Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." -1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (Msg)

Princess

"No man will ever claim you unless he claims you from Me. For I reserved a man for you who has my heart and loves Me even more than he will ask for you. For I won’t give you unless he asks you from Me. He’s asleep; don’t wake him. He’s busy for Me, My kingdom. Soon you will know him, but I have the perfect time. You are my princess, my daughter. Let no prince claim you unless he asks you from My hand, for I am your Father, the King of Kings. You, my princess, are worth waiting for." -via Grace Alonsabe

"You ask and you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures." -James 4:3

"If we cannot say no, then our yes means nothing." -Alexis Paguio
