Taken picture of me

I always love to take pictures of myself. I want to see how I progress from being young until I grow up. I love to see how wonderfully I was created by God and that I have potentials that are unique with the others. 

My love is just so simple and I want to spend life to the fullest. Hope that in the next days and chapters of my life, I can be able to find the meaning of life more and more deeply. 

My face is the ones that I am so blessed because I know that I am uniquely made by God's image and likeness. And so be it!

Edu Board Com: Online Tutorial

Subjects like Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, English, etc. always do take mastery. Most of these subjects take its major role for the development and growth of every person.

In order to cope with the rising need to be able to get a high grades to pass in school, serious study and extending more efforts to do more are the best secrets in life. But we can't deny the fact that not all individuals directly learn the subject in only an hour discussion. Of course, the help of the online tutorial like the edu board com relies more in molding every person who is apt to do more in learning those subjects and making them masters of the said field.

Philosophy: "Man is more than his life." (Explanation)

We live our own lives. We are the master of our own life. Through vocation, we are in a perfected life and our personality is measured in full measure where we are destined.

In vocation, we are consecrated, not taking things for granted. In vocation, one will not work alone for others but to help those who are in need. We will not think of ourselves but we think for the welfare of mankind through making our every help a vocation, not merely a profession.

Who is Sister Callista Roy?

Sister Callista Roy introduced the Adaptation Model that simply emphasizes that the changing environment stimulates the person to make adaptive responses that for us, human beings, life is never the same. Life constantly change and present new challenges and that the person has the ability to make new responses to these changing conditions. As the environment changes, the person has the opportunity to continue to grow, to develop and to enhance the meaning of life for everyone.

She had significant opportunity of working with Dorothy E. Johnson. Johnson's work with focusing knowledge for the discipline of nursing convinced Sr. Callista Roy of the importance of describing the nature of nursing as a service to society and prompted her to begin developing her model with the goal of nursing being to promote adaptation. She joined the faculty of Mount St. Mary's College in 1966, teaching both pediatric and maternity nursing. She organized course content according to a view of person and family as adaptive systems. She introduced her ideas about "Adaptation Nursing" as the basis for an integral nursing curriculum. The goal of nursing is to direct education, practice and research. His model is the basis of curriculum impetus for growth at Mount St. Mary's College.

Bible Reflection on Sirah 1:11-13

11 If you fear the Lord, honor and pride will be yours, you will be crowned with happiness and joy.
12 To honor the Lord is a heartfelt delight; it will give you a long and happy life,
13 and at the end of your days all will go well for you. God will bless you on the day of your death.

This great message from God touches me at all times. His great promise simply delivers true happiness that if we totally submit ourselves to Him.

I have been struggling right now about the word, "love". It is because I struggle still this time. ALong the way of my coping, I never felt to really ask from God and pray. I was totality swimming at my own thinking that I will be fine, that I will get over it.

Because of the deep ending of a happy relationship (supposedly for me), I never thought that those smiles, togetherness and love will soon be kept into a proposal, but it was not. I was just like daydreaming. Our separation went extremely hurtful especially on my part.

Before, I never feel to get closer to God because I was totally happy with my boyfriend (now my ex). All I cherish and love to do went not caring and minding about the world but simply me and him only and nothing else. I felt the ultimate happiness ever before as I am with him. But all drastically change. We ended up not us but I was all alone, lonely, hurt, crying and in pain.

At this point, the transition of my lfie went on as I come to open up the Bible and read about God's words. Now, I feel the happiness of learning new things from the Bible and gaining myself back again, piece by piece, little by little until I can fully say that I am totally healed.

To love God is more than my life. It is everlasting. It speaks the inner me and what is really life. I never same into a point to have felt loss. I even was not expecting of it because I thought what we have is forever. I thought I will be forever happy. But as life transcend, there is the turning point in me to feel lose and gaining myself again.

I felt lots of pains and even countless ones, but never do I surrender to struggle to survive. Life must go on.
