My Birthday

Hi... Well its me Ana Lea the author for the Blog. Well what can I say... I'm legally 21 years old tomorrow, 23rd of August... Hmmmm... I know for a fact that there is only small chance of possibility that you will come across my Blog... I make this blog as a gift to myself, remembering the God's Love bestowed upon me and my Family and his wonderful Graces.

Let me share you something.... Sometimes its not a matter of what you will receive in your birthday, but its about of what you have that cannot be measured. I was once before a happy go lucky type of person. I only see to it that I get what I want regardless of any condition. Yes! I am a spoiled brat... It was never be late to realize and change. In fact there was a time that I hurt my mother the most.... But now here I am... a brand new Me and more better. I learned to appreciate the things that I have without asking anything. I learned to share more and give more than what I have. It is so nice when you feel that you give something without anything your expecting to return back to you. Just seeing happy faces.

In my 21 years of existence. It was never be late for me to change... and to do better for myself my family and others. Walking in God's Way.

Life is not something what we can get. But what we make its our choice and its our decision, OFFERING to God the most.

Parable of the Shoe

Parable of the Shoe

All of the shoes have a sole(Point out shoe soles.) It's a very important part of the shoe that protects our feet when we walk - and people also have a soul. It's spelled differently and is the spiritual part of a person.

 In the Bible we read in Psalm 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for the streams of water, so my soul pants for you, 0 God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

What else do we have in common with a shoe? Well, all these shoes have tongues - and all of us have tongues. (Wiggle shoe tongues) Our tongues are very important to us in speaking and communicating with each other. We need to use our tongues carefully as it can be used to speak well of others - or say bad things. It can be used in gossip - or to praise God. 

James 1:26 warns: "Anyone who says he is a Christian but doesn't control his tongue is just fooling himself, and his religion isn't worth much."

The shoes have eyes where the laces go through. We also have eyes, which are very important to us. With them we see where we are going, read with them, and use them to see the beauty of God's creation and many other things.

 Psalm 123:2 says: "Our eyes look to the Lord our God till he shows us his mercy." And God is watching us too, as we read in Psalm 34:15: "The eyes of the Lord are intently watching all who live good lives, and he gives attention when they cry to Him." 

The shoes have laces that we tie to keep the shoes on our feet - or "bind" them on our feet. This reminds us of the song "Blest be the tie that binds, our hearts in Christian love." In Colossians 3:14 we read: "And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."


Another thing we have in common with our shoes is the heel. In our society being called a heel is not a very complimentary term - but the heel is an important part of our foot and of the shoe.
And of course, when we think of shoes, we think of our feet, because that's where we use them! Psalm 116:8-9 says: "For you, 0 Lord, have delivered my soul from death, my eyesfrom tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living."

Thus ends the parable of the shoes - let's walk with God in love. 




Parable of a Pencil


Parable Of The Pencil


The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.


Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.
