Day 21 of the 30 Day Song Challenge: a song that you listen to when you’re happy. Riff-rafting angry song. Cut to 23 days later. Iris now sings a happy song. It seems to me that along with my 30 day challenge, milestones progressed with me too. It’s been a tough couple of months, and [...]

July 25th, 2011 Iris — I will be working like heck. Unlike some people there are hardworking individuals trying to make a living, ignoring the inefficiency of the thousands of taxes he remits, and forced to suffer through his government’s inability to lead. Forgive my rant, but after 8 years of slaving and going through government offices only to [...]
Left with nothing but hope
July 23rd, 2011 Iris How many of us can truly say ‘My heart is content in what I have now’? Often we go through so many heart aches and disappointments that we lose sight of what is really important — a real and sustaining peace. And I don’t mean death, ha. For you smarty pants out there, eternal peace [...]
Open to grace, 24 hours
July 17th, 2011 Iris “…in our spiritual journey we often have to learn old lessons again. It means we should be open, not so sure of ourselves, trusting in God to help us, ready to learn more and willing to be led by God’s hand.” – Henri Nouwen ‘Perfect!’ That’s one of my expressions. Unfortunately, I don’t embody [...]
Read this: The Dopple Ganger Chronicles
July 15th, 2011 Iris Talk about an illustrated book for kids (and kids at heart?). And when you say illustrated, it really is illustrated. Like a comic book. With blank black pages with just a tiny little word. Or a scrawling word that looks like a spreadsheet of a rock band’s album. Short to say that I enjoyed it. [...]
Wish Wednesday – granted
July 13th, 2011 Iris She wished for more coffee, coffee, coffee. I wished for an answer to my prayer, It got answered days ahead of my birthday. Flashback to one year ago. Then I took a good look at everything I’d done, looked at all the sweat and hard work. But when I looked, I saw nothing but smoke. [...]
Ode to The Creative and waiting at a jeepney stop
July 8th, 2011 Iris [Christians], at their best, know that often they don’t know. They do not have all the answers. They do not have God in their pocket. We cannot answer every question that any bright boy in the back row might ask. We have only light enough to walk by. – Howard A. Johnson —- I’ve always [...]
Day 20: Grace did me in
July 5th, 2011 Iris Day 20 of the 30 Day Song Challenge: a song that you listen to when you’re angry. I have honestly put off posting this one because anger is one serious issue, something not to be taken lightly. I know, because I’ve suffered from it and now working on controlling it. It’s never easy, when confronted [...]
No amount of music replaces The Whisper
July 4th, 2011 Iris The quiet place is not where we exult in the self. It is a very different place. It is the place of humility. The place of prayer. The place where we realize our limitations. It is the place where we ask questions of ourselves. Where we ask the Holy Spirit to reveal things to us. [...]
