sanctify the moment

from the Angel's blackboard by fulton sheen. these three words are all that i need... and everything will be alright. Sometimes we worry to much (or should i say I); we are overcome with fear, frustration and anxieties and tend to forget to lift up to God and let Him take charge...

just when everything seems to be going smoothly, some unfortunate situation comes along. i am still on the path of understanding why such events need to take place. maybe God is preparing me for something big..or maybe it is a test...or maybe....i really do not know. i do believe though that everything happens for a reason, be it from our doing or a circumstance that is out of our hands... i do hope the Lord will enlighten me on this one. But it is with these trials that we are reminded that this is our journey with Him and we have Him by our side always.

i am surprised to be sharing some thoughts not related to my work...and i have nothing to show for now still :s i am optimistic though that soon i will be able to paint again. :)

Nice short prayer i heard again from last week's mass,

God, grant me..

the serenity to accept the things i cannot change

the courage to change the things i can

and the WISDOM to know the difference.
