Rachel here...who am i? Hmmm...that's a question i never really know how to answer.
All i can say is i'm a child of God journeying through this road called life with my finest blessings - my family, friends and folks i bump into along the way.
Who i am don't matter. What does matter is that we connect and encourage each other along our different paths that lead to the same destination -
Our Father face to face!
So ewe (pronounced 'You' meaning lamb; the meaning of my name) see....it's about the little (n big) things in life that connect us to one another (unity in diversity) and bring us closer to God.
Ephesians 4:4-7
"We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future.
There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all."
Make yourself at home, voice your thoughts...i'd love to hear from you!
Love n peace out!

Lessons From A Shooting Star Part 1 3 wise men followed a star. Even if i were wise, following a star seems illogical to me. But follow they did and a Savior King they found.
This was just one of the musings i enjoyed while stargazing recently as i stayed in Cebu for two weeks. It's just beautiful there. Like God has spread out a black blanket over the skies and sprinkled glitter for His pleasure. Just awe-inspiring.
And unbelievably one night i caught sight of a shooting star. Which is kinda weird. Because the night before i was on the very same rooftop pouring out my woes in complaining fashion, and asked God to show me His presence with a shooting star. I was shooting my mouth off and simply being a spoiled kid with her Papa. And i waited...a few seconds...hardly believing i would actually see one but hoping i would at the same time. Muttering a playful thanks, because "yeah really! i was going to see a shooting star!" (can you find the hint of sarcasm in my tone???), i headed off to bed. But the next night, i headed out to the rooftop just to catch a breather, not even with an intention to stargaze or catch a shooting star. And the moment i looked up, there was a star shooting across the sky, and just as i caught it, it was over! And i was in awe. Some because of that awesome sight, but mostly because of our awesome God.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6
A request could be a need or a desire...and God simply wants us to open up and talk to Him. And wouldn't we believe that if He could give His life to be wrapped in skin that one day suffered upon that cross, a star or anything isn't much to ask for? Need i even doubt His presence? I did ask during the trip's preparations when money was running low, and He provided via a love gift just a while later. And just a few days later when my forgetful self asked in disbelief...God shut my mouth in a loving way with this gift of a shooting star!
This Christmas may we not forget or take for granted our most valuable gift...Immanuel - God with us...even at our not very best moments.

Each of us should live a life stirring enough to start a movement...We should love unquenchably,dream unfalteringly, and work unceasingly.
