Praying in tantrums...
From childhood we were taught to pray in the most solemn and finest manner, be it alone or with others. Yet there is a passage in the bible that says "when you pray go your room and lock yourself in your closet". This is so because God wants us to pray in the most honest and open manner. And just how is that most honest and open manner?
When a spoiled child demands something from his parents and it was not granted as he wished, expect the spoiled child to throw tantrums until he gets what he wants...spoiled children (not necessary brats) usually do that...and the parents usually give in...
I terribly miss Rev. David Chang (his soul rest in peace). He was a Korean Pastor assigned to our church years back. He was a pastor we've known to deliver radical yet solemn sermons. It was from him that I heard we can pray to our God like a spoiled child throwing tantrums until we get what we want...spoiled children can do so because they are their parents favorites...that's why they are made spoiled...
So? If you are having so much trials you think are too much to bear, then you are God's favorite...because He's giving you that much! If you think that you surely are one of God's favorite..go ahead...when you pray you pray in tantrums...all the way down...and God will be watching you with all smiles...and will have no choice but to grant what you want...
Aren't our earth parents like that? How much more is God our father...?
By the way...praying in tantrums is praying persistently...and persistent prayer is doing it in 40 days and 40 nights...
Will our Great God give us a NO answer for that?

Passion on wind chimes and golden showers...
Last birthday on a retreat I was looking for a golden shower tree but found nothing in Ma. Aurora and Baler. It's just my wish to have a birthday picture with a golden shower tree on its blooming season. When I arrived home I found my chime tree blooming with flowers like golden showers. It's actually a narra tree which I called my chime tree.
Before my 50th birthday I told my loved ones and friends that I would like to collect 50 wind chimes to hang on my narra tree. It's my way of making my 50th birthday different from my other birthdays. I thank the people who answered to my request... For 3 years now some of the chimes were thrown away by typhoons, but most of them survived till now. At bedtime I would hear the music of the chimes, as if singing voices of the people who gave me those chimes.
A friend asked me on my previous birthday...do you still like a chime for a gift? My answer... oh yes, I love to..will always ! Why so much passion on chimes? Because with chimes I feel the the company of its giver... singing to me when the wind blows...
Music and flowers like golden showers...from my chime tree...
Well?...Still collecting wind chimes... :-)

And hopefully this rainy season we would be able to plant Golden Showers too...in the years to come I would like to have photos like these from my own yard... it's a passion

Awesome wonder...from nature...
Was really surprised to find this tree full of fruits (whaaaat is this??!!) at the backyard. It's been there years back...taken for granted, all of a sudden here it is...! Made me really laughed and giggled, and felt blessed, sort of feeling that nature gave me something rare. And what is this tree for? Surely if it is not edible then this would be medicinal. Surely, God made all things on earth on purpose...
