10 Bible Verses for YOU and ME
1. Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
This verse always reminds me of you and how God touched your heart and life thru this verse. You always remind me of this whenever we face problems and difficulties in our life.
2. Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.
Since I know your favorite verse, you should know mine, too. This is the first verse that I have always loved. Since I easily give up on things and most of the time I find it hard to solve things my way, I want to remind myself that I should entrust everything to God because with Him nothing is impossible.
3. John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
This the first verse that Micaella and Kyle memorized … and I believe this is also important for us because this reminds us of the love of God for us that He wanted us to be with Him in eternal life.
4. Ephesians 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
As husband and wife this will truly help us to love each other with honor and respect.
5. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
This will remind us of what LOVE is really about
LOVE- Leads us to the Light by following the way of Jesus Christ,
LOVE – Overflows when you are willing to Offer your life for Others
LOVE – Very much brings joy, hope and faith for those who love God
LOVE – Endures forever like the Everlasting love of God for Everyone
6. 2 Corinthians 9:13-15
13Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
I thank God for this gift that he has given us. Let us continue to help others by sharing what we have and helping those in need whichever way we can.
7. Galatians 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
The fruits of the Holy Spirit which remind us to be watchful of our actions… wag malaglag ang bunga!
8.Hebrew 6:12
12We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
This will remind me to be enthusiastic in doing things and always remember that in everything I do , I do it for the glory of God. Always remind me of this verse lakay ha.
9. Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
Although there are times when I am about to give up on serving the Lord please remind me of this verse. I would really love to teach our kids about the word of God, but please help me, I also want them to be servants of God.
10. Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
This will remind us that God will never leave us in our every endeavor. He will always be there especially in times of trouble. Also reminds us to be thankful and contented with our blessings especially to be contented with one another.

I haven’t posted for quite a long time because I was busy with others things. I hate the word BUSY for it stands for B-burried, U-under, S-satan’s, Y-yoke.

"But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." -Joshua 24:15
Do not repay anyone evil for evil (Romans 12:17).
Who wants to be criticized? No one does. Especially if it is a false criticism. It will hurt ones feelings and may ruin the entire day of a person.
It is hurts even more if the person who talks bad things about you is someone who is very close and dear to you. Your husband, wife, mother, father, kids, relatives, friends…
Spouses are often critical of one another in marriage. Sometimes our criticism of each other is valid, but often it’s not because it springs from a wrong appraisal of our spouse or his or her behavior. You may not be able to control the fact that unjust criticism will come your way, but you do have control over how you handle it!
Moses was criticized by the nation God called him to serve and by his subordinates. But the real pain came when he was criticized by his own family, his own brother and sister spoke against him because he married a Cushite woman (Numbers 12:1). Aaron and Miriam questioned whether God had really spoken through Moses (12:2). They made their accusations public. That is when criticism really hurts!
If you and your spouse have a problem, as much as possible if you can solve your problem by yourself, do not involve your parents and other relatives, because sometimes our family will hang on to the problem even if the problem is already over.
Follow Moses.
1. He did not defend himself against the criticism of his family because he knew that the truth would eventually clear him, and it did.
2. He did not retaliate or fight against his brother and sister. The problem will get even worst and you will also hurt the ones you love. And you will have a never ending battle.
It is important that when people say bad things about you or hurt you or criticize you, you must always be willing to forgive them and it will surely make you life happier.
Ask yourselves…When was the last time you felt criticized? Are you willing to forgive? Have you spoken to that person…Always remember that God wants us to have a forgiving heart that abides to His words. God bless you all.
Why is it that this question is common to most of husbands and wives. During courtship women feel so special and secured because of the special treatment their husbands gives to them. Probably, some men also think "Why is it that she is no longer taking care of me after having our children?". There are "she says","he says" in a relationship. This means that there are things that men don’t understand about women and vice versa. They seem to have different languages of love.
Way back, I used to ask my husband "Why is it that your treatment to me when you were still courting me is no longer the same as today? Before I always get your attention more than anything else. But now you don’t seem to listen to me at all. It feels like you’re more interested in watching television and your computer."
Probably my husband also have some complaints about me but he just stays quiet. I always ask him what is wrong with me but he seemed to edit the things that is in his mind. My husband is a very kind person. Maybe he is just practicing his patience with me. Accepting me for who I am. I always complain a lot, maybe he is just understanding my attitude and accepting me for who I am. I used to get mad at him, sometimes i tend to hurt him and myself. There were times when i would ask him to end this marriage. But he never gave up on me. He tried to understand me. He continued to be a good example as a Christian.
My husband is not perfect like any other guy. He probably is kind and loving but there are things that i hate about him. That is when he becomes very insensitive. He really makes me feel that he doesn’t care about me when he is like that sometimes. But God is good. He did not let this misunderstanding last. He improved a lot and myself as well.
We started to study the word of God as a couple and learned from it. Now, I can say that our marriage really is different from before. When we have some misunderstandings, we can settle it at once. We find time to talk. I used to get furious everytime he is in front of the computer but now I understand. I already enjoy the things that he enjoys. We have adjusted our attitudes with one another. I cannot say that our marriage is perfect but God works in us and our marriage as well. And our treatment with one another also improved our relationship with our kids.
Let us make GOd the center of our relationship. God keeps our marriage strong and I’m sure He will do the same with you if you just let Him.
