I Am Here. Cerebral Palsy

I received an email from Robyn Cummins and I quote:

Season’s Greetings from World CP Day.

From a small town in outback Australia to the skyscrapers of New York City, from tropical Malaysia to the Arctic north of Sweden, people with CP, their families and supporters, declared “I Am Here”.

Despite our geographic, economic and cultural differences, people with CP and their families face the same issues across the world. Our strength lies in the community we can bring together to tackle these challenges.

I Am Here

At the heart of World CP Day are the people with CP, families and supporters who are making a difference every day. We salute their lives, achievements and aspirations.

I was part of this initiative to inspire more people.

Green Ribbon Campaign Updates

Green Ribbon Campaign focuses on cerebral palsy awareness. It began this year through my first Novel, When Fate Speaks Big Time. Each novel I wrote has a cerebral palsy character.

Next year, I plan to post several blogs about how encouragement plays a big role in my life. Hope House Centre will also release my Autobiography called The Real Me: An Autobiography. We plan to visit campuses to discuss my life and how encouragement takes me in becoming an Author.

I started the Green Ribbon Campaign: Encouragement Kick-off Month and here is the blog post on Week 1: Love Life.

Green Ribb0n Campaign: Encouragement

2016 Theme: All you need is encouragement

I might be busy next year but I will commit one day to encourage people more. Kicking off this December, I will post my struggles and how God turns that struggle into blessings.

December

Week One: Love life

Week Two: My will over God’s will

Week Three: Handling Judgments

Week Four: Be an encouragement

In this way, I could minister to you who are reading my write-ups here.

Week One: Love life

For those who know me very well, they will agree that this topic is for week one. (Yes? or No?)

I am single but I have dream of being loved in return. (#hugot?)  I have my plans but God has better plans. (I cannot contest to Him.)  If you read my novel, When Fate Speaks Big Time, you will have a taste of my dream love life. An IT manager met a dashing prince charming that will offer her the world. But why am I still single?

God just wants to test my patience? God wants me to explore the world more?

Well, in Ecclesiastes 3:1, He Kept on reminding me . . . There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

But why am I being impatient? If God promises all His children that there is time for everything.

We tend to forget that promise. We tend to rely on ourselves . . . and when we rely on ourselves, we do what we ought to do first. DO OUR OWN WILL. COMPROMISE. Then what? We faced  several CONSEQUENCES that is the result of our DISOBEDIENCE.

I believe in His promise that He will give me the LOVE I expected. But He will put me to certain circumstance  that will bend my CONFIDENCE. But He reassures me  in Ecclesiastes 3: 11, He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

As I wait for my ever after, I will write love stories that will inspire people to wait for the RIGHT TIME to do God’s plan for their lives.

November Bliss+Welcome December

I started my November in  San Pablo City to visit our departed love ones. I arrived in Binan by November 2 and started my Nanowrimo novel with 200 words from my San Pablo trip.

I submitted my first Crime story last November 5. After a few days (Nov. 11 to be exact), we received the final list of #HeistClub finishers. It will be out on January.

After 28 days of writing intensely, I thank God for giving me strength to write a 50,620 word novel for one month. I thought I could not make it but I did. In the midst of giving up, I have my family and friends to boost  me to continue. I thank the Lord for giving me wisdom.

The second one is a good news from Hope House Centre. It’s a secret for now. If you cannot wait until march, Limited Paperback copies of The Real Me is currently available in http://www.shophopehouse.com/products/the-real-me

Instructions on how to buy: https://racquelsarah.wordpress.com/2015/11/17/how-to-buy-the-real-me/

The third one: Aside from Nanowrimo, I submitted a thing to Ms. Mina for a thing. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s128/sh/87c8195d-baf5-450b-896c-55e711813ff4/e485ce391341d14311abae139731e5f9
