Random Thoughts for Today

There is no resurrection without death.
What seems to be a setback could actually be the greatest set up for my life, and for yours.
What seems to be a loss can actually be the greatest gain.

Time and again, God has proven in my life and in the lives of countless others how He can turn what I see as a pitfall into a platform.

I am called to trust in a God whose thoughts are higher than my thoughts, whose ways are higher than my ways. I am not called to control my life, nor to understand every single situation I go through or encounter. I am called to trust. And I can trust because He can, and because He is good, and because He is love.

I have proven it in my life, and in the lives of countless others how fleeting one's devotion is to Him, yet He still moves in His unfailing love. He still rescues. He still comes through. He enables me to trust.

And so I trust. Again and again, I will trust.

Wish it could be easy | Why is life so messy | Why is pain a part of us
There are days I feel like | Nothing ever goes right | Sometimes it just hurts so much
But You're here | You're real | I know I can trust You

Even when it hurts | Even when it's hard | Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You | Cause I know that You are | Lover of my soul |Healer of my scars

You steady my heart

I'm not gonna worry | I know that You got me | Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment | What's good and what gets broken | Happens just the way that You plan

And I will run to You | And find refuge in Your arms | And I will sing to You
Cause of everything You are

An Attempt for a First Post

I have always been a frustrated writer. I have pioneered and abandoned far too many blogs to even consider denying that fact. Yet again, I am going to try. So here goes my first post. I am hoping to come up with something sensible. :)

I am Ernilyn Brown. My most recently gained friends call me Ernee; my family calls me LenLen (and I have two siblings TenTen and JohnJohn -- I am no doubt a Filipino despite my last name); my Counter Strike friends call me Arni; and my mom calls me Ernesta when she's mad at me (You may amuse yourself guessing why, given that my name is a combination of my Dad's (Ernesto) and my Mom's (Marilyn) -- Again, proof that I am a Filipino.).

Funny thing is...before I even get to the end of this blog, I am seriously considering abandoning it prematurely. I realized I have tons of things to do but because I would still want to post something today, I would click the publish button, hoping that although this is far from a sensible post, this may be the start of a more faithful blogging attempt. So I shall bid you goodbye for now. I shall see you again soon. :)
