This is the land of my forefathers... once was a field of rice, where my forefathers till the ground. Now, is the land for planes and of aircrafts... yet I still call it my beloved homeland... Loakan.

Nothing is Impossible!
- Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in God;
Nothing is impossible when you're trusting in His Word.
Hearken to the voice of God to thee;
"Is there anything too hard to Me?"
Then put your trust in God alone and rest upon His Word;
For ev'rything, O, ev'rything, yes ev'rything is possible with God.
Or.... I think this is the version we were singing....
Nothing is
Impossible
I read in the Bible the promise of God
That nothing to Him is too hard
Impossible things He has promised to do
If we faithfully trust in His word
Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in God
Nothing is impossible when you’re trusting in His Word
Hearken to the voice of God to thee
“Is there anything too hard for me?”
Then put your trust in God alone and trust in His word
For everything , yes everything
Yes everything is possible with God.

When Visions come to Naught!
Visions! Many of us may have
visions and may have had great visions. Visions that not only help us but also
may help others as well... But sadly these visions too often come to naught.
Visions as we know are dreams we'd like to attain. And truthfully, there are
lot of books written about how to fulfill our dreams. And I believe every book or author agrees on one thing
required in fulfilling our dreams,
that is "perseverance". Others would term it as endurance, or rephrase
it to as "working hard." Not just working but hardworking. And I
believe, they are true about it.
But in a time of idle moments
when we think about our visions and dreams there are so many hindrances that
lead us to not pursue our dreams and visions. And I would probably think,
authors and books have already written about these things. I just would
probably want to discuss and talk about these things too. (*Laughing*) That's
probably because it often happens to me. But nevertheless, it's a good
discussion and check the reality we are in.
One reason why our visions or
dreams come to nothing is probably the factor of faith, on what we believe in.
Although I must say, in my idea or my belief, it shouldn't. I'm a Christian and
my faith rest on Christ Jesus. And I believe faith shouldn't be a factor of hindering
us to fulfill our dreams or visions. But nevertheless, in view of the world or
how the system works, too often it becomes a hindrance. Now, let me give a
clear understanding to this. And sorry for making an example of my faith. But
as a person, or human as we are, we are prone of dreaming for ourselves. We
have much ambitions and usually it's for personal gain, nothing more. The thing
is, Christianity teaches not about selfishness but about thinking of others
more than oneself. And Christianity points more of God's will more than one's
personal will. Now that's where the world view makes faith a hindrance. But as
for me as a Christian, I would stand to disagree. Even if I have made an argument
of such. Because I believe that God's will is always better than one's personal
will. Yes we have dreams and visions and God has too. Now, if we are not to
parallel our visions and dreams in accordance to the direction of God's will,
won't we be just kicking against the pricks?
Second factor that hinders us
from attaining our dreams are circumstances. Too often our circumstances does have
a big factor in hindering us to fulfill our goals and dreams. But does not
totally hinders us. And an often example
would be, when one is a poor fellow and does not have such income to do what he
desires to do. It's a simple analogy of the circumstances a person has.
Third factor maybe the kind of
government we have. Here in the Philippines? It is one of the greatest factor
why too often, the weak, the poor and without reputation, can't pursue their
dreams and visions in life. Corruption in the government is usually the biggest reason, as corruption is acted upon
by greed and selfishness. And as always selfishness pulls down others while
wanting oneself be the first.
Another and probably the last
reason of hindrance towards fulfilling one's goal and vision is people. And
perhaps, it is the very main reason and summarizes all other reasons why goals,
dreams and vision come to nothing. People! That is because man is corrupt as
the Word of God declares. Examples are already portrayed on my discussions.
Others example would be as simple as the factor of encouraging. Instead of encouraging,
people would rather discourage others. There are more people who would discourage
you more than encourage you. And the saddest would be when our love ones become
the discourager instead of the supporter or encourager. Well for a truth, we
are very prone of doing so... to discourage. Why? as what the Word of God says
is... man is corrupted by sin (Romans 3:9-12).
Nevertheless, even as we have
discussed such things, this would indeed point out that pursuing excellence or
success requires perseverance or endurance or working hard... And that even
with these many hindrances, one needs to learn to continue and pursue. And
that's what we call perseverance or endurance. It is actually not a guarantee
that we'd gain success or fulfillment on our goals but perhaps, it's better
tried than never at all. But one thing I'd really wish we could learn from
these things is not about ourselves pursuing our dreams or visions, but to be
sensitive enough and to learn that we should be more of encouragers more than
discouragers, think of others more than ourselves, and to be selfless, not to
attain selfishness.
Good day and God bless!
