Hard time!!

Not everyday is a guarantee that you will always be happy and at ease. Even if you already have the things you wish to have to make you wonderfully happy. There are some instances that really can make you sad or upset. BAD times will always find its ways to come out even if you are in GOOD times.

Life is really so difficult to understand. Once you kinda have a picture to what its gonna happen, but then something come out that makes you think, is it part of it? I believe to what most says "Everything Happens for a Reason". And I will be in the search to WHAT is the reason and WHY....

I know my life ahead will be still cloudy-rocky. But I do hope that GOD will keep ahold of me. I am not strong as what most expect I am.

Together as a family!!

Rule of a Gentlemen

Rule # 47 : "LOVE" does not stand for legs open very easily.

I feel like known by my poems and writings!! :)

I was in a certain store this afternoon before I went home....

Store owner : I think I seen you. You work in the City Hall, right?
Me : Yes
Store owner : What is your name?
Me : Eugielene Tulin Ma'am.

Out of the blue a highschool girl came in the door....

Girl : Eugielene Tulin, I heard your name, the author, a writer...
Me : Huh? (wondering)
Girl : I read the poems you wrote way back, you wrote poems right?
Me : Yes. I did have some poems published in school when I was in college.
Girl : Oh yeah, that's it. My teacher asked me whos the author of the poem I read I said Eugielene Tulin. And my teacher said you were her student.
Me : Who is the teacher?
Girl : Herlyn Sinarillos
Me : Yeah (smiling)

I went home with a feeling like Im alittle famous. Ha ha... I never expected my writing will make my name known.. but not my face haha.... Atleast I can tell, I will be remembered when I'm gone through my writings and poems..

Totally Inlove!!

Things for me this past few months seemed cloudy. But oh well, it didn't stop my world. I still keep moving and facing life's challenges. I know there would be some time I feel like push down and disappointed but the good news is the fact that GOD is there I still am standing still.

GOD is so good. I realized that even at times I feel like GOD is not there but HE was there for me silently working for my favor. GOD knows the best.

Am really thankful GOD gave me this life. A life where I experience things I never experience before. Life with GOD is definitely a good life with a good direction. But cannot change the fact that sometimes Life with GOD is somehow rocky too. But its up on you to how you gonna face those times when the rock hit you.

Another thing that makes me happy and makes me inspired for living everyday. A man that truly loving me and giving me strength to face everyday life. James Nonweiler , I love you and GOD knows How much I love you. I'm so looking forward for the day we will be finally together and be a family.

Thank you for being an instrument send by GOD in my way. Thank you for being my strength, my inspiration. I love you and am still so enlove with you.

Our love will be more stronger than before. I love you so much Hunny and hugs and kisses for you and for our little angels.

A Letter from Someone who Loves you unconditionally

Dear My Child,


I believe in you. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have made you into such an amazing and wonderful person. I believe in you so much, I planted dreams in your heart. Dreams that will bless you and bless the world. Dreams that will make you grow in love and will mature your soul. Yes, I will use you to share My light and love to many.
So believe in yourself. Even when you fail. Never give up yourself. Failure is an important part of your success. Look around and you’ll discover that the most successful people are those who have failed the most. Trust in Me. I trust in you.

Know the difference between paths and purpose. Even if your chosen path fails, never give up on your sacred purpose. When you write your dreams, include the details that you desire. Your imagination will inspire you. But don’t be attached to the details. Surrender to my surprises and open yourself to My abundance. For I have the best blessings and the perfect miracles for you, far better that what you can think of or imagine.

Nourish your soul in My love and My Word. Nourish your soul with other like-minded Dreamers who have fire in their hearts.

Now go, My child, and share My love and light to all those around you.
Always remember that I believe in you. I love you.

Cheering you on,
God

Me versus GOD

Me......>>>


Sometimes, GOD seems to be quiet...
HE seems to be absent and never listens...
I call HIM but never answers...
I ask HIM for help but HE never rescues....
I ask myself, why GOD?
In my deepest trouble YOU were not with ME?
........
.............
...............
.....................
..........
............
.....

GOD......>>>

I never left you. I just want to watch you fighting, using MY words that are stored in your Heart and Mind as Your weapon...
I'll always be with you....
Just be with ME always......

Happy Father's Day!!




We are so blessed to have you in our life!! We want you to  know that YOU are the best DADDY in the world. We LOVE YOU SO MUCH and Happy, Happy Father's Day!!

All about GOD and Faith

This past few days, life seems so hard for me. I have been struggling with my faith. I know I seen GOD in the first place in my life, but there were times that seeing GOD is so hard especially at times you think you really need him but then you couldn't feel him. I even told myself why is it like this, at times that I most need HIM he seems so silent. I almost feel its unfair.


But after some times, I always talked to someone, who somehow help me see GOD deeply. Although there were times I thought I feel like too much for him. I used to tell him about GOD's time, and wow, now I'm losing my word. He's the one who's telling me my line, to wait for GOD's time, everything has its own time. God's time is the perfect time. I know I should be patient and not losing my faith. I should wait for the perfect timing which is GOD's time.

Well, after struggling my faith in GOD, I gave time to meditate and somehow feel deeply in my heart and was searching wheres my faith. I came up reading about faith and its enemy.

Enemies of Faith

1) Ignorance. Somtimes faith is nothing when you are not aware, or is lack of knowledge about it. Much unbelief rises out of the fact that people just don't know what the Bible says. The cure of this is study, meditation and consideration of the word.

2) Unbelief. This is the sinful choice to not believe God. It is usually motivated by pride, rebellion and ignorance. The cure for this is therefore to humble oneself, change one's mind and choose to believe.

3) Fear. Negative fear is a negative emotion based on the real expectation of bad things to come. It is rooted in anxiety and a lack of trust in God's fatherly protection and love. Perfect love casts out fear. (1Jn 4:18). God is perfect love. Therefore by seeking God, His presence and the fullness of His Spirit we will be set free from fear. When we are conscious of God's power it is very easy to be courageous and bold. We expect success when we are consciously full of God and know that we are doing what He is telling us to do. To overcome fear we must look to God and not to natural considerations which could cause our failure if God were not with us.

4) Doubt. Doubt is an enemy to faith because it speaks with a voice that challenges the truth or the reliability of what we should be believing. To overcome doubt we must fill ourselves with the Word of God, meditating deeply and repetitively on it. Doubt is the evidence of an unconsecrated heart and mind. It is the evidence of lack of devotion to God's Word. Doubt, like fear, torments. We must forgive others and give our whole hearts to God. We must stop listening to the voice of demons or the voice of our own carnal mind trained from early days to resist God. This is a decision. It helps to hear the testimonies of others to overcome doubt. However, doubt will never be fully overcome until we treat the Bible as God's voice TO US.

5) Discouragement. Sometimes we feel discouraged because of physical or emotional weakness or tiredness. We may be disappointed by the behaviour of other people. We may be discouraged by the persecution of others, even of our families. Perhaps we have waited for what may or may not be God's promise to us, and we grow impatient. Many people at some time in their life become disappointed with God. Satan uses discouragement to weaken and if possible destroy our faith. To overcome discouragement we must make a decision to be strong (Hebrews 12:12; Ephesians 6:10) in the Lord. We must want to be strong and stop making excuses for our weakness and failure. We must consider God's faithfulness to us in the past, even through difficulties (Hebrews 10:32-34). We must rededicate ourselves to God's Word, to thankfulness, to prayer and to the voice of the Spirit.

It somehow help me see my faith. Because honestly, I'm almost losing it, I was just needing reinforcement. I know I should build a solid foundation of my personal relationship to GOD. And should be done by PRAYER and OBEDIENCE. I must allow myself to not be weakend with evil thoughts, and somehow satan almost win over.

I hope GOD will keep on holding me. Coz I am sometimes weak.

In Jesus Name!!

LORD, your will be done!!

Lord GOD, I believe in your power!
GOD I need your guidance and I need you this days. I know, sometimes I feel weak but please help me to become strong. I have so many things in my mind that makes me scared but please I need your strength. Im trying to be strong and fight against this negativity in my mind but sometimes bad thoughts strikes and making it more worse. I know you thought me of being possitive and show me the hope. But Lord Honestly, in my heart many many things come up that makes me think I can do it then there goes I can't do it then changes I can do it: Changeable mind. Lord I hope this things will be over. I dont wanna live everyday always feeling scared...kinda tiring..

LORD, I NEED YOU. I dont need any other but YOU.

Love

Love is a gentle caring
a quiet concern
deeply hidden in the heart.

A presence always felt
everyday, every minute, every hour.
Love is a gentle embrace
between body and soul.

A quiet touch of the hand
a soft hug by warm arms
a caress of two souls.

Love is a great passion
between hungry hearts.
The intimate exchange
between mind, body and soul.

Love is always caring
always growing
always being there.

Love is a wonderful gift
shared by two blessed souls
experiencing Heaven on Earth.

A message of a thankful heart

2010 is almost over but I wont let it pass without saying any word of thankfulness to all that I receive this year. As I remember I had been through some tough times in this past few years, but even in those hardships I still remain standing and now still living. Thanks to people who keep believing that I can make it to this point.

I wanna say thank you for my parents who always at my side in every steps I made. To my brothers and sisters who make me smile and make me like a chatterbox when we are all gathered around to talk. To all my friends that somehow helps me focus on good things in life and who also believe that Im a strong woman. And most of all I wanna say GREAT THANKS to our ALMIGHTY GOD that he never let me go astray, As many times I tried to wanna experience being lost but HE never let go of me. For being there for me, even in the last minute that I almost give up my life.

Sometimes, Its so hard to deal with the battle of life, coz there are times that I lost direction. I dont know which way to go but so thankful that GOD gifted me good people that helps me see the beauty of life ahead.

This year is really a great year for me. I am lucky because I am still breathing and living and enjoying great things GOD made. So thankful that GOD shown me his glory. I remember, my mind was stuck of the thought that my life will always be a bad luck. I am not bad but only those some people I've known and met made my life bad luck. But I have no hatred to them coz I know it happens for a reason. It would be a lesson for me, or a test for my faith to see how long can I hold on. Either way only GOD knows everything.

And through this year I've experience such great things that GOD let me experience. I've been experiencing a great love from someone sent by GOD in my way for the first time. Experienced things I never experience before. Being love as who I am. Receive a love more than I am expecting to have. Isn't it a way so much blessing to thank for? Yes, I am so thankful for that, and feel so blessed. For many times I've prayed to GOD to answer my prayer, to hear my prayer, I was kinda impatient. After a while, thought GOD wont answer my very wish. I give-up but not thinking to go wild although there are times I wanted to but still I feel that GOD is there, HE never wants me to walk in a different road away from his home. And so, GOD shown me and finally answered my prayer.

To everyone who put colors to my life this year 2010, many thanks. To some that gives some charcoal to my life this year, I still wanna thank you.

And to someone special (James N.) that gives me so much inspiration to wake up everyday many , many thanks. THANK YOU for making my year so wonderful, Thank you for showing me the real love, a GODLY-Like love.

Lastly, my love and faith in our one and only almighty GOD, Thank you. You are the number one reason that Im still breathing and seeing the beauty of life on earth despite of all struggles and troubles I had been through and would meet up in the future. Hope YOU will continue to help me fight the battle and make win in the end.

In your name and in your power nothing is impossible. I love you LORD GOD and thank you once again!!

Truly yours,
Eugielene

Life...........Life

Life is not easy. Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Some struggles a lot to achieve ones dream. Blessed are those who born in a wealthy life. Lucky for those who born rich in both spiritual and material things.

But the reality is almost more than half of the population in this world struggles and taste life's bitterness. And we cannot change this fact. Everyone has its own way on how to carry on life. Some people choose to go through good ways and some choose to live life in wrong ways. What's bad is, aside from the fact that they live in too much struggles they still choose to live life more worst. Like for example, one does know what's the effect of drinking alcohol too much but then they dont stop and then time comes the result of it comes out, so what can we say. It will give more problem and pressure to family.

Some people choose to escape the life they live-in. Some didnt survive and made unwise decision. Some cut their lives thinking that its the only way to solve the problem. Some people choose to make it more worst.

Its so sad to see that some people doesn't realize the important of life. I know life is not really easy especially when you start to feel its burden. I've been through that and I even wish to go back in times where I am still a kid, no problems, no worries, all is just for playing times. But its part of life in this world.

Some said, in times of problems its not wise to take it seriously because it will only draw u to too much depression. They just say let it pass. But some said, it should be taken seriously. Either way, as long as it will be solve and brings good to ones self.

All I can say, life is like an adventure. Its like a track and field event. There are hurdles needed to pass. And its up to you how high you jump to pass it. Just be ready and be wise in life. Isn't it nice to think that in the end u defeated problem rather than you being defeated by problem. Problems have no hands or brain but it can make you go ensane. Just be wise and be strong to face it.

Dear Lord,

Lord GOD I pray for my love one. I place him into your loving care and protection wherever he is rightt now. Give him health of mind and body. Keep him safe from all dangers. May he find joy and fulfilment in all his works and endeavors. Let him enjoy the company of good friends who will be there for him in good times and in bad. When he feels lonely let him remember you are always near and that you are the truest friend he can always count on.

This I ask through your Holy Son Jesus Christ.

Eugielene Tulin

ASAP means?

Everyone wonders what ASAP means.
Most people would answer that its

As soon as possible

Yes, thats right. But another meaning would be

Always say a prayer

GOD knows how stressful life is
HE wants to ease our cares and HE will respond to our needs.

So ASAP

Will you give time for him?

One day is composing of 24 hours. When you wake up in the morning, you take 1 hour in arranging your bed and taking a bath. Another 1 hour for breakfast and prepare some stuffs. Then 8 hours for work. 1 hour for lunch. 3 hours for friends. 2 hours for television or watching movies and playing games. A half hour for dinner and 7 hours spend for sleep. How many hours you spend for such activities? Do you still have time to talk to Jesus? To repent and to thank? How long?

Sometimes 24 hours is not enough to spend for our daily schedules. Try to imagine, in 24 hours we only have a half hour to spend for Jesus or sometimes nothing at all. Jesus is always with us, protect us, and watch us 24 hours. We just don’t feel it because we got so busy in many things. Our mind is occupied with the things that we need to be done. Sometimes we work overtime to double it. It is not bad to become busy everyday because it’s a part of our daily life but Jesus is also a part in our life. We have to put space for Jesus to enter in our life.

Take time to pray, to kneel, to repent and to thank Jesus for all the good things, for these things give colors to our lives. And if you do, no matter how hard it is GOD will make it easy for you. Take time to realize that the easiest way of life, is living with GOD.

For all the things that the world gives you that comforts your life today and make you happy, it is GOD who made it to show you that HE really cares despite of having less time to remember him. Let us realize that GOD is the one who has the greatest HEART of all. Let us live life easy by putting GOD on top of everything we do because in GOD we trust then nothing hard at all…..

Service to Fellowmen is a Service to GOD

When we hear the word: SERVICE, what usually comes to our mind is the extension given by our government officials to others because of reasons sometimes we doubt. But I have a point to reveal.

Men can serve not because of their civic status, but their capability of doing so. Riches and fame is not a measure on what you can give to the less fortunate brothers. We can exercise rendering our service by starting the first and foremost principle “Compassion is given to, is not asked”.

Service is not only financial assistance extended to the need, but also it is the genuine effort exerted by individuals to succor those who are in need of succor. Service comes in many forms. Counsel to the confused, err to the pained, enlightenment to the embezzle, encouragement to the lost and hopeless and a lot more.

Service is not given for the benefit of the doer who may expect a payback of his good deeds shown to others. TRUE SERVICE – is the willingness of one’s desire to help people in their emotional, mental, psychological and even spiritual afflictions without expecting anything in return.

TRUE and WHOLEHEARTED SERVICE is what GOD intended us to share. When HE died in the cross to redeem us from our earthly sins, HE gave HIS life without reservations. For me, this is the most unfathomable service. We may not be expected to perform this one of a kind service but as a follower, what kind of service do you intend to give to others? Ask yourself for it is only GOD who can read what is in our hearts, mine is just to remind everyone that, “If you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are giving service to GOD”.
