Dreams Equals To Happiness?

Dreams = Happiness?

I've always dreamed about so many things in life, from the newest cellphones and computers, to the coolest toys, luxury cars, shoes, purses, to perfect birthday presents, traveling the world, to almost all the extravagant things in life.

Then I realized, we don't really need to dream or wish for something, we just need to know what really makes us happy, then go for it. But of course, dreaming and wanting is unavoidable and most of all unlimited, we can dream and wish for something for the rest of our lives, everyone can and may dream for all the things in life, and some could possibly reach their biggest dreams, some fail for lack of determination or they're not just lucky enough. But the thing is, does it really matter? Does it really matter if you get what you want or not?

Sometimes, we don't realize that in trying to achieve our dreams we already missed the true feeling of "reaching a dream" because your mind is already closed and you've already been blinded by those dreams.

Life is not just about dreams, there's more to life than that. Instead of dreaming all the time, why not enjoy every moment that you have? Instead of trying to be perfect, why not accept the fact that there are really things in life that you can't have and people that you can't please. Life is all about choices, and it's in you if you really wanna live your life in your dreams or live a life where joy and peace is present in you and your loveones life.

Growing In God's Love

Do you still remember when you first started to feel Jesus presence in your life?

I started joining YFC in the Philippines when I was 13, going to different youth camps and diocesan youth days really helped my relationship with GOD. It made me realize that this world is too short for me to hold grudges againts anyone (especially to my love ones) and to be insecure with one another, it also made me realize how amazing God's love for us that he did everything just to save us.

There are also people around me that are just so inspiring, they taught me a lot of things that are really impossible to forget and most of all, they made me more closer to God. They showed me the way to God's arm and I'm so grateful that they came into my way and touched my life.

Now, I can't believe that I'm in YFC again, even though it's kinda different, but they still have the same purpose and reason and that's the most important thing. Though there are times that I still miss those gold old YFC memories in the Philippines, but I'm starting to love my new family here and just like my YFC family in the Philippines, they are God's precious gift to me.

How about you, when did you first felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life?

Someday, If I will have my own kids, I would make sure that they will grow in faith and love of GOD and they will love God more than anyone in this world so that they will grow up loving HIM and they will be a better soldiers of God and they will know how to handle world's problems and surpass every trial that will make them a better person, a person that God wants them to be.


These videos are just soooo inspiring! Just imagine if all the children in the world are growing in the love of God, that would be really wonderful but everything starts at their parents, so to all parents out there, make sure that all your kids will grow in faith and love of God... I'm sure, you'll be proud of them when they'll get older.
