I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist

Yes HE cares...

O yes, HE cares; I know He cares!

His heart is touched with my grief;

When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,

I know my Saviour cares.

Heart Warming

Today Monday, I went home tired and exhausted from my shift. I dozed off the bed easily and fell into a deep sleep. My kiddos arrived home and gave me a kiss. Out of my sleepiness, I responded a nod and says I Love You.

Later that evening when they are about to sleep I saw a note beside the bed written by my eldest Jedi. It was a heartwarming note, her English is not that good but the thoughts in it really count. She prepared me a meal of noodles. It made me smile and kissed her on her cheeks. Awww, my little tots are getting bigger every day and smarter which I am so thankful of. 

No amount of joy could ever replace this, thank you dear Lord for such kiddos. Indeed there are my treasure praises and Honor belongs to YOU alone.

Private Message in G+ Hangouts

I've got notifications lately asking how to send Private Message invites in Google Hangouts also known as the G+ Hangouts. Friends, not friends, or even a person who is not listed as your follower this might help.

I screen shot below steps so that everyone has a clearer view of how to do it.

First, if you are using a desktop or a laptop go to your G+ profile page. Encode the name of the person on the search button located on the upper portion of your page. Gmail ID is also possible in this search button.

Then once the name of the person appears, click the name and this will bring you to the profile page of the person. Just click the name of the person- see the arrow below.

This will now bring you to a pop-up window that has an option for Hangout / Email / Call /Schedule. See the screenshot below inside the red mark that I made.

Click Hangout and presto This will lead you to your Hangout page where you can send the person a private message to chat with. 

Another way of sending a private message to a person, not your friend/follower or just a passerby by from your comment box.

Expand your comment box selection and from there click the name of the person you wish to send a private message, see the arrow above.

Just click the name/picture and it will bring you to the profile page of the person. Click once again on the name of the person  and it will open a pop-up window that contains the following-
Hangout / Email / Call / Schedule

Click Hangout and this will take you to your Hangout page where you can send a message. Another way of doing this is to go to your Hangout page. Just type in Hangout on the Google search page be sure that you are logged in to Google and it will definitely take you there.

From there just click "New Conversation" and it will ask you to enter the name or email of the person you wish to send a message to. Then a message box will pop up where you can engrave your message and start chatting.

For Mobile/Android/Tablet users all you have to do is to go to your Hangout application.

At the bottom right, tap Add + > New Conversation Conversations.

Type or select a person's name 

Enter your message. You can also add emojis, photos, your location, or a sticker.

Tap send

Letter For Manong

Sunrise from our 3rd floor balcony

Trust when your skies are darkening,

Trust when your light grows dim,

Trust when the shadows gather,

Trust and look up to HIM.

Sharing my letter for a friend...


From: iStar- Tariray
Date: Tue, Oct 31, 2017, at 10:39 AM
Subject: I am at peace
To: Andrew Ramos

Dearest Manong Andy,

My apologies for responding only now. Actually, I intentionally did not respond to you on FB the other day. I saw your message however I am at the height of enjoying the Lord’s presence at that time. I am actually excited to share with you those passages that have been given to me by the Lord during those times of refreshing…

After I told you about the court order I received the other day that got me so scared and so afraid that I felt almost dying. I called Doms for help and begged and cried for him however he responded so coldly and even wanted me to end up in jail. I felt so hopeless by that time, there was no good response I got from him. Nothing at all but hatred, anger, curses, and hurtful words. I was so down and got no comfort. You told me to seek the Lord which I did and HE has been so faithful and true. I’ve got countless nights where I wake up in the middle of my sleep still thinking of what I need to do and I continue to pray. Then while praying HE gave me this verse that gives me comfort and peace Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I be afraid. I kept pondering on that verse then came another one that made my spirit up. Jeremiah 24:1-12 the promises of the LORD as Jeremiah has been asked on what he saw in the basket. This made me cry on my knees. I am a child of GOD, yet here I am been shaken by a little trial that comes my way. I have a GREAT GOD, the maker of heaven and earth who will uphold me at this time. The LORD showed me great wonders and gave me peace. Just like in old times, in a world of real dangers, GOD had given Israel a reason to trust HIM in Jerusalem.  Just like now in my life, the LORD ALMIGHTY showed me how to live in the security of HIS shadow, rather than fear of my own making.

I am at peace and as I am kept in HIS presence I know HE will lead me on the right track all I need is to trust HIM and let HIM be GOD in my life. Remember I felt the need to accept the offer to work in HONG KONG, but the LORD told me it was not the answer and I trust HIM. I know, you will do palm face again after reading this and will say how stubborn and shallow I am. Too old in the LORD still acts like a baby Christian… our walk is indeed very different and I may be not like you, but the Lord knows my heart…

About Doms, I forgive him… the Lord shows me that he does not really deserve me after all that we have been through. It is so sad that his attitude over the years is just the same… but still, I am thankful to the LORD Almighty for giving Doms to me through this relationship of ours I was able to exercise what love really is as what it says in 1Cor13. I have no regrets and my children are such a blessing that adds color to my life every day.   

​In Christ,

iSTar​
