paper.. .

I don't know what's with paper that catches my attention ^^ I can buy any unique notebook/journal/paper/notepad/what not and it feels great! haha! ^^ They say girls love to shop.. . and I love to buy anything that you can write on! haha! happy-ness! And this one really made me giggle! haha received this gift this Christmas from my bro (how sweet! haha) Good thing I haven't bought an organizer yet.. . because I changed my mind as to what planner to buy.. . I thought twice if it's worth it to buy another BDJ and well, it's not .. . and thank God! Someone gave me an organizer--just the thing I need ^^ weeeh! ahaha. it just makes me happy when people give me some stuff to write on.. it's as if they know me ^^ haha!

can you keep a secret...?

^^ I know I'm not getting any younger.. . and for quite some time, I was in a quarter life crisis.. . I have my own fear.. . I have my own dreams.. . and on my own, I can't make it.. . I couldn't have made it this far.. . and for the past months.. . for the past years... . There's just one thing that is constant.. . and that's surrendering whatever it is to Him --be it a frustration, a dream that's yet to come true.. .a dream that you don't know if it will come true.. . a blessing that you had or a blessing that you will receive.. . just surrender it all to Him.. . in simpler terms, give it back to Him.. . and you don't have to worry anymore.. . That's the secret to keep going.. . And next year, I no longer believe that it will be a tough one.. . many people said that 2008 will be tough, 2009 tougher.. .but where is it!? haha! My God is tougher than all of 'em! And next year, whatever is in it for me, I desire to give it back to Him as early as n

oh noh.. .=(

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.. . whew.. . I'm starting to desire to have a laptop.. .I mean, I want to have one of course.. . but not as much as I wanted right now.. . haha nasanay kasi na laptop ang gamit for the past weeks.. .and gosh.. . gusto ko ng laptop!!!! dati, wala lang gusto lang... ngayon, oh no!! the intensity's starting to rise! haha kaya lang, if ever I'll have one, mauubusan naman ako ng oras matulog.. . so better not have one now.. . besides, wala kong pera.. .hehe at least, gusto ko ng laptop.. . over DSLR for the mean time.. haha and I know lilipas din 'to ^^ (just wanted to post this anyway.. .haha!) BLESSED CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

torn.. .

torn between two things.. . and I'm trying to weigh those.. . I've met few good people lately and I was able to train and disciple them.. and my heart is there.. . well it's really my passion to be with people, to minister, to disciple.. . there are lots of things I want to do.. . However, I'm also in search for Him.. .and I'm willing to go wherever He wants me to go just to find Him.. . above all, the most important thing is my relationship with Him.. . Is choosing the latter selfishness?

FB living up to its purpose.. .

...well for me lang ^^ Hehe the very reason I created an account on FB is for me to reconnect with high school friends, batchmates, and eventually, to keep in touch with the people that became a part of me before I get to know Christ.. . and eventually, to share.. . and for the past months, I've been adding relatives in FB as well.. . and lately, it's just my prayer na somehow, makausap ko rin sila, to minister in a way and to share His love.. . we're like 7 or 8 years old when we were together since magkakapitbahay lang.. . and since we moved here in Cavite, we lost connection and right now.. . hmmm they're just.. . ayun.. . and whoa.. . thanks to FB 'coz through that, I was able to talk to my cuz.. and start a relationship with her.. . grabe lang.. sobrang amazed kay Lord ^^ I'm still praying kung pano ko makakapag-minister but eventually, in His time ^^ take advantage of FB!

pollution na nga ba ito?

I was having my break when I took this shot. . camera phone lang ng ibang fone gamit ko kaya sorry di ganun ka-clear.. .hehe however, nagtaka lang ako kasi sobrang dark ung parang smoke sa mga areas na nasa pic.. . kadalasan naman pag nasa mataas na lugar like sa Tagaytay tapos I get to see buildings etc na malayo, walang ganto.. . grabe lang.. hehe pollution nga ba ito?

CHRISTmas.. .

before we get busy for the season, go Christmas shopping, spend time with relatives, reunions.. . let's not forget the true reason why we celebrate Christmas.. . it's because a Savior was born.. . yes. a Savior was born.. . we all know that.. . but few of us know that He came here to bring salvation.. . and few more will celebrate the season for that reason.. . Christ came because He wants to give us life.. . that's why there's CHRISTmas.. . it's not just a holiday.. . it's a season to celebrate ^^ Jesus was born to give us life.. . have you allowed Him to enter your life? blessed Christmas everyone!

thinking of a gift?

.. . . I'll be very glad and blessed if I receive a book entitled "Bridal Intercession" this Christmas ^^ so friends, if you don't have any gifts for me yet, this one will do!!! ^^ haha

an older 2012 movie..

When I searched for 2012, this also came up.. 2012 Doomsday (2007) On December 21, 2012 four strangers on a journey of religious faith are drawn to an ancient temple in the heart of Mexico. For the Mayans it is the last recorded day. For NASA scientists it is a catac ...( read more ) lysmic polar shift. For the rest of us, it is Doomsday...--Flixster My brother said that this 2012 thing is about to happen in the Malayan Calendar etc.. . Planets will align, chaos will occur, but that's just the end of an era.. . another era will eventually start.. . It also has something to do with the aliens something.. . where some scientists got the signal or something whatever haha.. . It doesn't matter.. I just believe in one thing -- No one knows the day nor the hour.. . ^^ And besides, the only thing that you should worry about is not how to survive that day .. . the only thing you should be worrying about is where you will be going when that day comes.. . and ends.. .-wink-

Even When

Jeremy Camp You know and You see The times of my defeat When I fail to realize Your kindness reaches Through all my fragile fears Of wasting any years And I see You go beyond My silent feelings Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me (Wooah, Yeah) You took this fading heart And softened every part I'll rest in light of what You've promised to me Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me (Wooah, Yeah) I'll always stay strong Because I feel You holding on now To You I belong and I know And You heal me And You heal me And You heal me Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me Even when I wrote my life away You still receive me (Wooah, yeah) Cause I feel Your forearms around me And I know that I'll never escape from You

My Desire

(this is indeed my desire) by: Jeremy Camp You want to be real, you want to be empty inside You want to be someone laying down your pride You want to be someone someday Then lay it all down before the king You want to be whole, you want to have purpose inside You want to have virtue and purify your mind You want to be set free today Then lay it all down before the king This is my desire, this is my return This is my desire to be used by you You want to be real, you want to be empty inside And I know my heart is to feel you near And I know my life It's to do your will It's to do your will

why is multiply the best?

Because it really adjusts itself for its users.. . Multiply now has the online seller account!!! ^^ It's not in their terms and conditions pala (hehe di ko alam na bawal un).. . but since there are many online sellers, they created an option under account settings for you to tick the checkbox if you are an online seller! Whoopee! I heart you multiply!

will You not revive us again.. .?

Revival is the renewal of your spiritual life *When is revival needed? -When the love of God's people has grown cold -Complacency -Lack of concern -Hiding or covering secret sins -Animosity among church members -Unforgiving spirit -Being filled with pride -When we are less than what we were before *Dangers in our need for revival -Often spiritual deterioration comes without awareness -We are not aware of our need -Flesh will fight against revival *What kind of revival do we need? - Revival that will resurrect this church (not the building) - Revival that will rekindle old fires >Revive us again means there have been revivals before >Christian life is made of many beginnings --Not like hooking on to a hot air balloon --Journey with mountain top and valley - We need revival that will restore joy and victory to the child of God >There are too many defeated Christians today >Too many are discouraged >Many have backslidden >

for the past months.. .

I've learned that... ... you can never fathom His mind.. . (so true.. .I've been thinking for quite sometime "this may be it" but it's not.. . ) ...the more you empty yourself before the Lord, the more He can move in your life and work wondrously ^^ ...it's always all about Him.. . not His work, not your work, but your relationship with Him.. . ...you may have some good things in mind.. but He has greater things in His heart for you ^^ (sweet!) ...patience is a virtue (as always.. . ) ...before He can give you something, your heart should be tuned His way.. . ...it's not about the destination.. .it's about the journey (you'll get there anyways) ...it's all about faith.. . that He will give you what He promised to give to you ^^ ...when you don't know what to do, just worship Him (even if you don't have any words to say.. .) ...music is soooo sweet.. . it can really help you commune with God.. .

motivation? anyone??

Some motivational quotes to keep you going.. . to get you going.. . There are no accidents...there is only some purpose that we haven't yet understood. --Deepak Chopra They can because they think they can. --Virgil There are those who dream and wish and there are those who dream and work. --Jeune E. McIntyre Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive--the risk to to be alive and express what we really are. --Don Miguel Ruiz All successful people men and woman are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose. --Brian Tracy There is no such thing in everyone's life as an unimportant day. --Alexander Woollcott Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire, which transcends everything. --Napoleon Hill People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bat

tamang tanong para sa kaklase mong matagal mong di nakita...

Intro: My high school classmate (1st year high school lang then he transferred) added me in facebook.. then my chatbox popped-up Casual kumustahan lang... he asked kung may nabago ba daw sa loob ng walong taon.. . then I said, nurse na ko.. . ganun.. then he asked, may baby ka na? syempre nag-isip ako.. . first, mukha bakong magkaka-anak ng maaga? second, baby meaning anak o boyfriend? haha third, maooffend ba ko? ahahahahahaha then I said, baby?? wala kong anak noh... . then he said, ahh kawawa ka naman pala.. .

it helps...

I'm trying to beat myself and do something productive in front of the pc.. . so I've decided to study and prepare here... haha I grabbed my hmmm second or third journal (?) and i found out that I only have few pages left (so i need another one haha..but that's not what this blog is all about lol)... and I scanned it through.. .and i bumped into this: 07.12.2008 *Are you asking or wondering how to have the power and anointing to cast out something? KEY: Prayer and fasting *If only you'll belive... ...oh faithless generation *If you will just believe all things are possible to him who believes... *God requires such simple thing...but many people find it hard to believe on something they haven't seen... *Combat unbelief with prayer Mark 9:24 ...Lord, I believe...help my unbelief --whenever you encounter areas of disbelief, PRAY that GOd may help you to believe ^_^ BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CHANGE YOUR DISBELIEF TO BELIEF... ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM WHO BELIEVES! ^^ **

To Every Guy (re-post)

I just found this post from ate vanessa's page.. . and yeah.. they are a dying breed.. i just added the last line there ^^ To every guy that has said, "You're beautiful." To every guy that has said, "Sex CAN wait." To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town to see her. To every guy that gives flowers and a card. To every guy who has given her flowers just because. To every guy that said he would die for her. To every guy that really would. To every guy that did what she wanted to do. To every guy that cried in front of her. To every guy that she cried in front of. To every guy that holds hands with her. To every guy that hugs her when she's sad. To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all. To every guy who would give their jacket up for her. To every guy that calls(or texts) to make sure she got home safe. To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to see her for ten minutes. To every gu

Kabataang Kristiyano Pag-asa ng Bayan

Theme ng Youth Night nila ^^ Points to Remember: If we want to be the hope of this country, * we should set an example in speech (watch your words young Christians), * in conduct (do you say thank you to your parents when they give you something? nagmamano ka pa ba? ) * in love (the love that you know is not love at all--if it's about the opposite sex. Love is unconditional. Love comes from above. If you love God, you will obey Him.) * in faith (did you accept the Lord as your personal Lord and Savior? Not everyone is considered son/daughter of God.) * in purity (do you dress like the way the world dresses itself?) If we (young Christians ) are to be the hope of this nation, we must be an example. When was the last time your cried out to God for your country? Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. (NASB) 1 Timothy 4:12

amazed

I'm just amazed at how God shows His awesomeness even in little things.. . This afternoon, I went to a church in Tanza...they hold their Youth Night every other last week of the month (tama ba? haha) and I was just amazed at how God moved.. . Indeed, even the simplest word could minister to your heart if spoken with so much passion... the church is not that big.. . this afternoon, we're about 30-45 there.. and it's full already.. . but I was blessed with the simple preaching that's full of passion... I'm just amazed.. . Indeed, you don't have to be big or small to have God's presence in you.. .you just have to have the right heart and a willing and obedient spirit ^^ I was challenged all the more ^^

take a look at this...

received this e-mail from my dad.. .haha and ooops! red alert!!! we really have to watch out.. BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS 1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2 . Overeating=2 0 It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. 4. High Sugar consumption Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. 5. Air Pollution The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. 6 . Sleep Deprivation Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will

yesterday...

I was on my way home, I rode a jeepney and accidentally I heard two women talking.. . (I really didn't want to listen, I just heard it because they're in front of me and they're not whispering.. they're talking aloud) Women1: "Ay oo, marami yang church... 'Yung Jabez nabili na rin nila yun.." Women2: "Ah, talaga? Nabili na 'yun ng COG?" Women1: "oo sa kanila yun.. .alam ko ang history niyang church na yan eh kasi matagal na ko dito sa Cavite... kung hanap mo nga entertainment, attend ka diyan. Masaya kasi diyan." Women2: "oo nga kasi established na sila. Para bang di ka na maglilingkod kasi okay na." Women1: "oo para kasing professional yung mga nandun.." Blah blah blah.. . They talked about stuffs until they got off the jeep.. . Sad.. . because some people view it as "something entertaining" Is that the reason why some people keep themselves from ministering because they feel like they are not needed t

tamad ...

I've watched some movies lately.. . pero tamad mag-review.. haha Just finished watching stardust.. . great film! ^^ nice story.. haha fantasy.. ano pa bang napanood ko.. . hmm Push.. . great picture.. . hmm what else.. . journey to the center of the earth.. hmmmm ano pa ba.. . forgot it na.. hehe pero pag di na ko busy i'll just write a review.. . hmmm

Konti na lang!

^^ I'm almost done with the tasks.. . whew! ^^ Lord! Grace!

realizations...

Sometimes we tend to forget the most important things in life--relationships, your family, friends, the people around you.. .We tend to focus on our goal... focus on what we want.. . our dream job.. .our career... but is it really worth it? Will you trade the not so tangible things (time, love, happiness) with what you want to achieve--success, great car, job.. . You have a choice.. You always have... . But sometimes we choose not to choose and think that we don't have a choice.. . yeah..

tasks of the week.. .

-sigh- I'm not really sighing because of these tasks.. . I just can't move.. .It's so hard to do something when you don't have the strength to move even your finger.. .

The Climb

I can almost see it That dream I am dreaming But there's a voice inside my head saying "You'll never reach it" Every step I'm taking Every move I make feels Lost with no direction My faith is shaking But I gotta keep trying Gotta keep my head held high There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be a uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb The struggles I'm facing The chances I'm taking Sometimes might knock me down But no, I'm not breaking I may not know it But these are the moments that I'm gonna remember most, yeah Just gotta keep going And I, I got to be strong Just keep pushing on 'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be a uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get

My Life’s Spiritual Honor and Duty

I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians . . . —Romans 1:14 Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent his life to express it. The greatest inspiration in Paul’s life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor. Do I feel that same sense of indebtedness to Christ regarding every unsaved soul? As a saint, my life’s spiritual honor and duty is to fulfill my debt to Christ in relation to these lost souls. Every tiny bit of my life that has value I owe to the redemption of Jesus Christ. Am I doing anything to enable Him to bring His redemption into evident reality in the lives of others? I will only be able to do this as the Spirit of God works into me this sense of indebtedness. I am not a superior person among other people— I am a bondservant of the Lord Jesus. Paul said, ". . . you are not your own . . . you were bought at a price . . ." ( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ). Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ and he said, in eff

(nangangalahati na ko sa pagcompose nito kanina until firefox crashed! grrr!) I'm not a fan of Tagalog Love Story Movies neither am I a fan of Richard and KC.. . It's not that I don't support Filipino films.. .It's just that I don't find them interesting.. . Until this one.. haha! I was browsing the channels earlier, looking for a movie to watch.. .I gave myself a break today so I wanted to just relax and enjoy watching a movie... I bumped into this channel and the setting's in Greece (the place I'd love to go to!!!) haha! Then I started watching it.. .and since (I thought) it's comedy, I've decided to watch it.. . It's not the typical ideal romantic love story for me... it's not ideal... It's real.. . ^^ And guess what, I just found myself crying ( kase towards the end, may drama pala) because I was deeply touched.. . I just felt like I can relate.. . It's not just a love story.. .It's family-oriented as well.. .and lots of le

The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis . -Wikipedia And yes.. . feel like i'm having this quarter-life crisis.. . -sigh-

naisip mo ba 'to?

Madalas kong naririnig na minsan ka lang talagang mabubuhay sa mundong 'to.. . at madalas, naririnig lang natin.. . di natin pinapansin.. .pero kamakailan lang, parang ganun ko na lang naisip na siya nga, minsan lang ako mabubuhay.. .dapat gawin ko ng tama (kung di man perpekto) yung mga gusto kong gawin .. . hindi ko alam kung umiiral lang ang pagiging-OC ko na pati sa buhay ay OC ako.. . or that's just what I have to do.. . (di napigilang mag-English.. .hehe) kamakailan, naiisip ko na ang mga desisyon na gagawin ko ay minsan lang darating at kung anu man ang desisyon ko dun, wala nang bawian.. . nasa sa akin na lang kung dedesisyunan ko ng tama na hindi ko pagsisisihan o mahihirapan lang ako.. . pero wala na kong magagawa sa mga nakalipas na.. .ang meron ako ngayon ay ang bukas.. . sa kabilang banda, dahil minsan na nga lang tayo mabubuhay, gawin na natin ang mga bagay na magagawa natin.. .minsan na nga lang mabubuhay eh.. . tara mag-bunjee jumping! hahaha

Before the Day

by Newsong Last night when I was sleeping You were watching over me While I dreamt about tomorrow You knew my every need Now another day is waiting For me to make it through And there's no way that I could face it without You Before the day slips away I want to stop and say I love You I love You Before the world rushes in again I want to stop and say there's none above You There's none above You I'll just be still and know You are God Be still and know You are God There's something about the morning The stillness of it all It calms my heart to hear You When You gently call Here I am in Your presence Where I long to be Alone with You in the silence Bring down Your love and Your mercy Whisper softly to me **** -teary-eyed- listen here haven't uploaded the video

Happy Birthday.. .

Someone told me that you should be happy because it's your birthday.. .that's why they greet you happy birthday.. . haha! I'm 22.. . and I don't know what's in it for me.. . Got dreams in my heart that I know in time, God will allow it to come to pass.. . even if it seems so impossible at the moment.. . I don't have the resources to create that but He has.. . I'm 22.. . and I know there's something great ahead of me.. . Even if I don't have a job right now, surely there's one in His time.. . I'm 22.. . and I'm trying to endure and wait patiently because this life is all about waiting.. . I'm 22.. . and He's blessed me for the past 21 years and I know He's still there to lead me, guide me, and bless me.. . I"m 22.. . and I believe there's more to see.. .

Take you back

Jeremy Camp The reason why I stand The answer lies in you You hung to make me strong Though my praise was few When I fall I bring your name down But I have found in you A heart that bleeds forgiveness replacing all these thoughts of painful memories But I know that your response will always be I'll take you back always Even when your fight is over now (x2) I'll take you back always Even when the pain is coming through (x2) I'll take you back You satisfy this cry Of what I'm looking for And I'll take all I can And lay it down before The throne of endless grace now that radiates what's true I'm in the only place that erases all these faults That have overtaken me But I know that your response will always be I'll take you back always Even when your fight is over now(x2) I'll take you back always Even when the pain is coming through(x2) I'll take you back I can only speak with a grateful heart As I'm pierced by th

yes.. . do it.now.

On this day of your life, Mheries, we believe God wants you to know... ... that you cannot wait anymore. The moment has finally come. You have no choice. You have to take that step now. Now. Not tomorrow, not in an hour, - Now! If anyone else is reading this, they would be confused. But not you. You know exactly what we mean. Do it. Now. -In God We Trust (Facebook App) *** Yes indeed.. . whew! hahahaha!

kelan kaya.. . .

kelan kaya ako makakatulog ng tama sa oras? it's already 2:30 in the morning.. . pero gising pa rin ako.. . masaya rin naman ang ganitong gawain.. . taga-hintay habang naghihintay, tagapakinig sa mga problema, taga-gising sa mga natutulog.. . ='j whew.. . and sometimes i just need to release.. .and my way of releasing stress (aside from praying and crying) is to take pictures! haha.. and smile.. . I remember a text message that says sometimes people smile because they're tired of crying.. .

is there someone using my YM?

hmmm it's really so bothering.. . I've been receiving messages from my contacts that they received messages from me? like buzz, links etc.. . i just sent a gm and told them that it's not me.. . then few minutes ago, my brother's YM account is online, i just saw this popped up setapart_for_Christ is now online and how's that possible??? i clicked my account and sent a message, who's this? haha.. . well, my usual YM has my picture in it.. .but this one has none.. . tsk tsk.. . i opened my yahoomail and opened the chat mode.. . then I typed a message from my brother's YM.. . it appeared.. . after that, firefox crashed.

nice app from facebook.. .

On this day of your life, Mheries, we believe God wants you to know... ... that happiness has nothing to do with pleasure. You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it. Or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative. Happiness is absolute. Happiness is the understanding and acceptance of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect. The degree to which you do not accept life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you suffer.

metamorphosis.. .

I know that's the term for the change in form of a caterpillar to pupa to butterfly.. . We must admit, that we also undergo metamorphosis spiritually.. . we mature.. . we grow.. . we become beautiful in His time.. . but that process does not happen in just a blink of an eye.. . it needs TIME.. . you have to wait .. . wait 'til the caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly.. . you should not do something to make the process fast.. . or take the matter into your own hands because every stage of it is necessary.. . even on the point of seeing the pupa slowly spreading its wings.. .you should not pull it for the butterfly to come out.. . even the very stage of struggling to fly is important.. . you have to wait .. . Same is true with us.. . sometimes we have to wait 'til the caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly .. . we need not take that person from the hands of God.. . we have to wait until God finishes the stage of metamorphosis in that person's life.. . and

singin' out loud.. .

We'd rather have bad times with You Than good times with someone else (pampam) We'd rather be beside You in a storm Than safe and warm by ourselves.. . We'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart.. . We'd rather have the One who holds our hearts.. .

separation.. .

just pourin' out my thoughts.. . lest i'll be erratic.. . =) I've realized that separation is a must in relationships.. . I've heard good love stories with stories of separation before they end up in marriage.. . And sometimes, it's God's way of testing each other how much they love God or how much they love themselves.. . Offering your Isaac .. . I always tend not to discuss this topic with people around me.. . I have the tendency to just keep it to myself.. . but I'm being erratic lately.. . there's no reason not to open up.. . So I'll try to go out of my box and share what's keeping me.. . And so, it's called separation.. . it's up to Him until how long it would be.. . I must admit that it's hard and it sometimes makes my pillow wet at night.. . but I'm pressing on to see the best things that would come out from this.. . I thank God for the grace He has bestowed upon us to choose this path.. . and I'm thanking Him for t

I've realized.. .

.. . that you don't have to do something for you to live.. . you just have to enjoy your relationship with your Maker.. . .. . that you just have to open up and share what you feel for you to be relieved.. . .. . that everything is necessary for you to become the person He wants you to be.. . no accidents.. . no "patches" .. . that waiting is very important.. . patience is a virtue.. .

Liberty and the Standards of Jesus

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free . . . —Galatians 5:1 A spiritually-minded person will never come to you with the demand— "Believe this and that"; a spiritually-minded person will demand that you align your life with the standards of Jesus. We are not asked to believe the Bible, but to believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40 ). We are called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are free with the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty— the liberty that comes from realizing the absolute control and authority of Jesus Christ. Always measure your life solely by the standards of Jesus. Submit yourself to His yoke, and His alone; and always be careful never to place a yoke on others that is not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do,

What You Will Get

I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go —Jeremiah 45:5 This is the firm and immovable secret of the Lord to those who trust Him— "I will give your life to you . . . ." What more does a man want than his life? It is the essential thing. ". . . your life . . . as a prize . . ." means that wherever you may go, even if it is into hell, you will come out with your life and nothing can harm it. So many of us are caught up in exhibiting things for others to see, not showing off property and possessions, but our blessings. All these things that we so proudly show have to go. But there is something greater that can never go— the life that "is hidden with Christ in God" ( Colossians 3:3 ). Are you prepared to let God take you into total oneness with Himself, paying no more attention to what you call the great things of life? Are you prepared to surrender totally and let go? The true test of abandonment or surrender is in refusing t

What Do You Want?

Do you seek great things for yourself? —Jeremiah 45:5 Are you seeking great things for yourself, instead of seeking to be a great person? God wants you to be in a much closer relationship with Himself than simply receiving His gifts— He wants you to get to know Him. Even some large thing we want is only incidental; it comes and it goes. But God never gives us anything incidental. There is nothing easier than getting into the right relationship with God, unless it is not God you seek, but only what He can give you. If you have only come as far as asking God for things, you have never come to the point of understanding the least bit of what surrender really means. You have become a Christian based on your own terms. You protest, saying, "I asked God for the Holy Spirit, but He didn’t give me the rest and the peace I expected." And instantly God puts His finger on the reason-you are not seeking the Lord at all; you are seeking something for yourself. Jesus said, "Ask, and

when you give him an inch.. .

he'll become the ruler.. . Sometimes, Christians are unaware that the enemy is gradually stealing their joy, passion and desire to work for God.. . they lose the appetite to go even the extra mile for the work of God.. . little by little, the teams becomes divided.. . disunited.. . May we get hold of our joy, peace, and passion for God.. . Don't let the enemy steal it.. . Be alert.. .Watch out if you're losing your appetite to do something for God (lesser passion than before.. .).. . It's sometimes the enemy's way to ruin the ministry.. . Don't give him an inch.. .

just a thought.. .

ever wondered why marriage is costly? or pricey? just thinking out loud.. . Marriage will not be that pricey if not for a purpose.. . ^^ Just my thoughts.. . First, only established people could afford it.. .haha! Since it costs a lot.. . people who are in the "stable" stage (with a stable job) could pass through it.. . Secondly, determined people could pass through it.. . ^^, If you're determined to meet your partner at the altar, you won't settle for second best.. . you will give him/her the best.. . and do your best for you to be stable so you could meet each other at the altar.. . Sadly.. . most of the people nowadays are going for the second best.. . They think of it as costly so they opt to just live together.. . have a kid.. then kids.. . for me, that's more costly.. . and it will ruin your future as well.. . I don't believe in the fact that "we love each other so we opted to live together.. ." If you love that person, you'll be more than

forget the past.. . ^^,

I remembered this principle just earlier today.. . For the past weeks, I've been really wondering about stuffs around me.. . and it seems like they are piles of blocks covering me up.. . I just can't go on anymore.. . Don't know what to do.. . Been through a lot and I just don't know how to take it from that point.. . Tired of fights.. . I don't wanna feel dull or tired or hopeless anymore.. . I want something new.. . But He just reminded me to start things all over.. . and that includes forgetting the past.. . forgetting your past hurts, past pains, past experiences.. .including your past successes and victories.. . yes.. .forget the past and start anew.. . And I just felt relieved.. .sometimes, we can't receive the best (that is ahead of us) because we are still holding on to the past. We're tired of it yet we're holding it close to our hearts.. even our past victories.. . there's always something new to come but if you're holding on to your v

PERSPECTIVE.. .

.. .makes all the difference in the world. The special gift and ability of each creature defines its special limitations. ...so the woman who accepts the limitations of womanhood finds in those very limitations her gifts, her special calling--wings, in fact, which bear her up into perfect freedom, into the will of God. Single life may be only a stage of a life's journey, but even a stage is a gift. Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.. . We accept and thank God for what is given, not allowing the not-given to spoil it. ..and it is in obedience to the command that we will find our full freedom. The freedom of the sailboat to move so swiftly and beautifully is the result of obedience to laws. She is doing the thing she was made for. She is free not by disobeying the rules but by obeying them. ..It meant not doing what they wanted to do in order to have something they wanted more. The freedom of the few was brought at the sacrifice of the many. The fact that I am a wo

twenty-two

In a few months time, I'll be welcoming another year.. . I'm turning 22.. . Once, a friend told me how important goals are.. . She always has.. . When she turned 20, she wants to be like this.. . When she turned 21, like this.. . and so on.. . I tried to somehow do the same thing.. . but when I turned 20, I somehow screwed things up.. . *_* realizing that I can never do it alone.. . Now I'm turning 22.. . What's in it for me? I remember a conversation between me and a friend when we were still teenagers.. . " Why are you excited to be 20 years old?" "It's because I can do more -- like decide more etc".. . But just now, I realized.. . how I wish I was younger.. . (haha!) Not that I regret things.. . It's just that I'm kind of "not ready" yet.. . I don't know.. . When I look at the people.. . my young cousins.. . sometimes I ask myself, " So, what's gonna happen next? I'm not getting younger.. . I'm getting ol

Readiness

God called to him . . . . And he said, ’Here I am’ —Exodus 3:4 When God speaks, many of us are like people in a fog, and we give no answer. Moses’ reply to God revealed that he knew where he was and that he was ready. Readiness means having a right relationship to God and having the knowledge of where we are. We are so busy telling God where we would like to go. Yet the man or woman who is ready for God and His work is the one who receives the prize when the summons comes. We wait with the idea that some great opportunity or something sensational will be coming our way, and when it does come we are quick to cry out, "Here I am." Whenever we sense that Jesus Christ is rising up to take authority over some great task, we are there, but we are not ready for some obscure duty. Readiness for God means that we are prepared to do the smallest thing or the largest thing— it makes no difference. It means we have no choice in what we want to do, but that whatever God’s plans may be,
