My happy list...

It has been more than a month when Aleks (http://aleksillyserious.wordpress.com/) tagged me. I have been so busy writing about wonderful experiences and numerous thoughts that I am only now doing this. Hope it is not to late Aleks. :- )

The rules are easy. Just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their blogs…

Here’s my happy list:

1. To get a phone call from a friend abroad who asked for my perspective.

2. To get a call from a friend in the middle of the night to share to me a wonderful news.

3. To discover silver hoop earrings deep within my mess of a room.

4. To walk on my own two feet and reach the crater of Mt. Pinatubo.

5. To conquer my fear and see God's creations under the sea.

6. Luscious strawberries.

7. To hear that a colleague learned a lot from an audio book I gave her.

8. To have a prayer answered by God.

9. To write an article and read people's positive response.

10. That it is possible to change for the better.

And now it’s your turn to make your happy list: Ptr. Jessie, Nio, Xtian, SJ, Raechel and Paula, Mommy G, Reah, Joseph and Claire

For us to be thankful to God for the happy things He brought to our lives!

Carpe Christ!

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
