Rica's Spring

“There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will.”- Grenville Kleiser

These lines jumped at me. They did this many months ago and now, these same words are achieving the same thing.

Passion. Heart. These are two words that have been resurfacing daily in my head for weeks. Starting this blog I believe is one courageous step I made and I thank my mom, our Pastor and the movie Julie Julia for really reminding me to do something in line with one of the biggest dreams I've been treasuring in my heart.

I just want to keep on writing. This started with the books my mom bought for me when I was still in kindergarten. My love for books commenced when I was 6. Then it evolved into something else. College paved the way for me to get THAT pen and start writing, pouring my heart out onto paper,and sharing them with a wider audience through school papers. I have accumulated gazillions of notebooks and journals where my prayers, heartaches and dreams are permanently inked. Where are they now? They're Neatly placed in a certain portion of my cabinet collecting dust. I know in my heart of hearts that this is something I want to continue doing not because it's a hobby but because it's one of the things that bring me joy. Being able to concretize most if not some of the thoughts in my head is just therapeutic. I see it as a balm-like conduit that makes my heart sing. Seriously. :)

Gone are the days when I wrote away about how I was hurt and how I should whisk up revenge, for my eyes have been opened to the wonderful Truth of how amazing God is. This is why I called this WONDERFUL-INKED. It's a lifelong journey of sharing how faithful He is and how loving He is as my father. Though I am the one writing, I want this to be all about Him. This is for Him. I am looking forward to a beautiful journey ahead as I move on to using this more, over pen and paper. I want to share my walk with the Lord as He continues to surprise me, love me as I am & graciously guide me in walking into His will. This helps me to reach out to more people. I pray that as you read each post, you will be inspired to delight in, seek and follow Him, and be abundantly blessed beyond what your mind can imagine.

I write because I am right in this season.Whichever season I may be in.

This is Spring.


By God's grace, I will start writing the book I've been praying for...and complete it.:)
