Livin' only by Grace

Last week, I felt so excited.. . Today, I felt like giving up.. . Nothing seems to make sense.. . Who said that waiting is easy? Who said that being still would be easy? Who said that obeying God would be easy? It's hard.. . And I'm only banking on His promises for me to be able to hope for tomorrow.. . I'm holding on to His grace for me to be able to see things through.. . It's hard when you can't see what lies ahead.. . Especially for me.. . I'd be the most impatient person you'll ever know.. . Lord You know how hard this is for me.. . I just want to cry.. . *** (I can really relate with this chapter.. . Excerpt from Max Lucado's A Gentle Thunder) Doesn't peace always follow obedience? Perhaps the disciples had the same expectation. They only did what they were told. Jesus told them to get into the boat, so they did. They didn't question the order; they simply obeyed it. They could have objected. After all

New DSLR from Nikon.. . cheaper than D90 with (almost) the same features.. . Live View, Video Recording.. . It's just that since it's new, the price is still high.. .but lower than D90 haha

(super late repost.. . last week pa 'to dapat.. .hehe) Woke up early last Tuesday (kasi nga dapat last week pa 'to hehe.. ngayon lang ako sinipag).. . At last! The desire to jog was no longer be a desire! It was put into practice =) My brother, RJ, and I started walking from our place to Sacred Heart Memorial and jogged ^^, Since both of them are guys, I had a hard time keeping up with them.. . Ina-atay ako kapag tumatakbo.. . Have you experienced that? There's pain below your right rib.. . But I decided to still go on.. . Even if I just walked.. then ran.. then walked.. . But I enjoyed my moment with God.. .even though I was left behind, I enjoyed and learned a lot.. . *The oval is circle.. . it means it has no end.. . and you can start anytime you want.. . Same with our walk with God.. . Falling once doesn't mean you can't start again.. . Just keep on walking and walking.. . =) *There will be pain in this journey called life.. . But that should not stop you.. . Yo

After long hours of studying and researching.. . it boiled down into two (thanks for your suggestion kuya dhagz).. .they both suit my needs.. . light, handy.. .good for traveling and low light areas.. . I just have little concerns though.. . Nikon D60 - no live view feature, no built-in image stabilization but it has ISO 3200 Canon EOS 450D - has live view feature, built-in image stabilization but the ISO is only 1600 both have noise reduction in high ISO. I think I can live with a DSLR with viewfinder alone, but I think it would be more beneficial if it has a live view feature (we'll never know when the need arises). Also, 450D is compatible with any brand of lens unlike Nikon. But the latter is cheaper. hmmm.. . hmmm.. . hmmm.. . Lord help me decide. Whew! I think I better visit Quiapo one of these days.. I've read that it's the "photographer's haven"

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. -Matthew 7:24 When a watch claims to be waterproof, it does not mean that if it is submerged in water, it will not get wet. It will get wet, but if it is really waterproof, then the water will not destroy the watch. There are no water-free watches, only waterproof ones. Likewise, Christianity does not promise a storm-free life. Every life will occasionally be hit by storms. Christianity promises that if we build our lives on biblical foundations, the storms of life will not destroy us. We will weather the storms. We cannot have storm-free lives but we can have storm-proof lives. ---excerpt from Preparing for Victory

Day Ten: One Confession hmmmm sa wakas! it didn't take me 10 consecutive days but I'm here! weeeh.. . hmmm confession.. . I eat milo. =) I eat it. Not drink okay? Eat =) Mahilig akong mamapak ng milo =)

I was browsing the cable channels last night when I bumped into this familiar scene: a guy on the cross, about to be crucified, familiar Asian faces, somewhat Filipino.. . Then I told myself, does this happen anywhere else but here (in the Philippines)? Then I looked at the title of the show on the upper right corner of the screen. It read Don't Tell My Mother I'm in... Manila. (Season 3) I was right! And shocked. Haha! I just can't believe my eyes.. . I mean, seldom do I find international shows featuring the country or something about my beloved country. So I watched the show. I was like, Wow! What else can they say about Manila? I don't know what to feel after that because I saw the overpopulated areas in Manila. The houses near the dirty creeks.. . Houses on top of the other.. . and the like. Seeing this, I also heard the host saying, Manila is one of the overpopulated areas in Asia.. . blah blah.. . They said that for you to survive, you need to be creative. I was

Day Eight: Three turn ons. 1. Inspirational. Someone who inspires others and everything he/she does creates an impact. 2. Humble. Someone who admits his/her mistakes in front of everyone. Someone who admits that he/she is only human in need of His saving grace. 3. Wise. They know when to speak and when not to. Knows what should be done and how to do it.

Day Seven: Four turn offs. Ang hirap naman nito.. . syempre lahat naman tayo love ni Lord kahit ano pa tayo diba? hehe but just for the sake of answering the challenge.. . whew. 1. Nega. Wala nang ibang sinabi kundi mga negative na bagay at mga discouragements hehe. 2. Arrogant. 'Yung tipong nagku-kwento na alam mong hindi naman totoo, for the sake na makapagyabang lang. hehe 3. Mga lalakeng hindi tumatayo sa bus kapag punuan kahit na ang daming babaeng nakatayo hehe 4. Smoker.

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever) people who mean a lot =) 1. My family (my dad, my mom, my two brothers). I will always be thankful and grateful for them. =) 2. Ate Major - I met her few months ago but it's like we've known each other for the longest time. She's the one who did 121 with me and she really had an impact in my life even if we've met for like 10 times more or less. 3. Ate Weng and Ate Gil - I don't see them anymore but God used them in my life, a lot, especially in my Christian life. 4. RJ - Of course he means a lot. =) But he doesn't mean the world to me. duh? haha 5. The Wongs - They were the ones who showed what love really is like during my trying times.. . when no one else cares.. . =') and it means a lot! (tapos na pala haha! parang ang dami kong gustong ilagay sa listahan! haha) *My Girlfriends -- You know who you are (ayaw mag-mention ng name eh noh). I grew up with guy friends.. . and just 6 years ago, I star

Take a pen and paper and get alone. Go here it's quiet, where you can think. Find a place that will offer you an hour's worth of uninterrupted thinking. Then sit down. Take your pen in your hand and --are you ready?--write down what you believe. Not what you think or hope or speculate but what you believe . Put on paper those bedrock convictions that are worth building a life on, that are worth giving a life for. For example, here are some not-for-sale, nonnegotiatble undeniables that I believe: There is a God whose all-consuming concern is whether or not I love him I have a reason to be alive. Money is not the answer. Therefore, the abundance or lack of it will not rule me. I will never die. My family loves me and I love them. I will live forever, and heaven is but a wink away. I control my moods...not vice versa. I can change my world. The most important element in the world is another human being. Now look at your list. Analyze i

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot Hmmm cross my mind a lot?! hehe for the past months, these are the things that cross my mind a lot. 1. Braces =) I wanted to have my teeth fixed and I want to save money for it. haha 2. MAN. I'm planning to take up masters next sem.. . whew! 3. On The Anvil.. . I'm thinking when ko kaya 'to matatapos? hehe 4. Shoes. I wanted to buy him a pair of shoes since maulan. He needs another pair. 5. There is power in the Name of Jesus. A song sung by Citipointe ^^, 6. One point sermons. =) Because God is omnipotent, I can confidently hope in the Lord! (preaching last Sunday) 7. Future. Anything about the future. Like where to live, what to do, where to be ^^,

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now. 1. RJ - Mishu! 2. Hannah - Hana miss na kita! kelan kaya tayo magkikita? hehe 3. 25k - sana magkita-kita naman tayo guys.. . kahit kita-kits lang. lagi na lang kasing 'di natutuloy eh. 4. Aj - mag-aral kang mabuti. (oh my gosh.. . ang hirap pala nito.. . ang hirap mag-isip ng mga tao na may sasabihin ka whew!) 5. Ate Gil - Sa December 'wag mo 'kong kalimutan ha? 6. Gia - kumusta ka na? 'San ka ngayon? 7. Mama - Sana makatulog ka na mamayang gabi. hehehe 8. Papa - Ingat po kayo lagi! We love you! 9. Rica - Just look up and wait ^^, hehe 10. To everyone - I'm selling my phone.. . who wants to buy it? Samsung Corbytxt B3210 =)

I've been through the wilderness for the past months and I've learned a lot of things.. . One is to be at peace and to just endure even when you don't know what's happening. Surely He has a plan and for sure, you'll learn a lot. The decision to resign to the previous company I worked with was hard. I really hate goodbyes but I have to obey. It's clear. I wanted to think logically like if I stay until August or September, I'll still have enough means to live by before school (since I'm planning to take up my masters). But His words are so clear.. . Go. I need to resign. I need to be faith-full! Even if I don't know what's going to happen, where I'll get the funds to go to church everytime I need to, to buy RJ a birthday gift, to somehow have something inside my wallet and other whatnots, I just decided to entrust everything to Him. He knows what's best. And He's up for something great! I remained at peace and by His Grace I can say I d

Why do I have lots of questions.. .? * Where did Cain's wife came from? --> Well I found an answer to this one just now.. . *Did Adam start his age at 1? You see God created them man and woman (not girl or boy or child). If not 1, that might be the reason why he lived 900+ years old? I sometimes hate it when I have lots of questions.. . argh! This is what I always tell myself whenever I don't have the answers yet: "When logic ends, faith begins." Plus I don't need to know everything =) His mind is unfathomable ok? =) Whew!

These are the words from my Victory Group Leader last Saturday during our Victory Group.. . Lately, I just can't help but stand in awe of Him as I look at these people.. . How humble they are and how transparent they can be. Plus the fact that they're not ashamed of admitting their weaknesses. I had this habit before of revealing my struggles to my peers or my co-leaders or to selected people only.. . And after hearing this, I was thinking, why was I afraid of showing my weakness to those around me? Why should I always have to show the image that I am strong when in fact, I do undergo trials and "thumping" seasons? Then I was reminded of what Elizabeth Elliot wrote to her daughter (from the book Let Me Be a Woman). She said that she (Valerie, her daughter), once she got married, should always remind herself that she married a sinner. Because of your always being together, you'd think that he's Mr. Right and he can never be wrong. That's the reason why most

I don't have a physical bulletin board so I just created a sort of electronic one.. . I was inspired by Ate Nympha (my Victory Group Leader) in doing this one.. .She said she used to have a prayer bulletin-- a wall with pictures of her specific prayer requests on it.. . =) It helps in reminding yourself of the things you need to pray for.. . in the same way, you can also claim it each time you see it! These are some of the things that I'm really praying for.. . haha look at the DSLR (Nikon Coolpix P80, specific kasi dapat ) and iPhone (I know I have a phone.. . but I desire to have this because of the Notes app. My Corbytxt doesn't have one) kailangan kasama talaga haha . Pwede namang humingi kay Lord diba? ;D The horizontal set on the northern part of the board --hospice care, hospital, orphanage and restaurant -- are the things that I want to create in His time.. .He placed these things in my heart and I believe He will allow it to come to pass. On the other hand, the hor

that whatever it is that we are facing or we may be facing, the decision is still ours to make.. . that's why He gave us the Manufacturer's Handbook so that we'll know how to decide wisely --be it in relationships, career, family.. . We don't need to just snob the people around us.. . When will you know that it's time if you did not decide?

\*Worship is about the sound of a redeemed heart expressing thanksgiving *God and the priority of God *Rev 5 *The worshiper in you needs to rise! *He's a God of today. Keep bringing in the new. *The sounds change but the heart and the agenda doesn't change *It is all about Jesus! *Worship is rising *Don't forget your private life *We can't get good at worship.. .don't get good at it! we've got to stay hungry to honor God. We're not here to be professional worshipers. *We were never designed to receive glory. We were designed to give glory. *Psalm 96 *Our unseen life really matters *Bring the kingdom culture in this generation *You were born for such a time as this *The enemy can silence your language, your tribe. Get your language working well. Practice speaking the language of God. Psalm 139 *The world tells you you're small and insignificant but you are fearfully and wonderfully made *Do not let the enemy silence you! Declare the goodness of God! *Joy

*Every church has a calling.. . your calling should coincide with the spiritual family you are with.. . if not, you won't fulfill your mission.. *Don't focus on the church building. Focus on the church as a body of Christ. *The humility of your pastors make you respect them. *Every nation fulfills His call for this generation *He will send you if you're willing *He brought you here for such a time as this *My dream to become a missionary will be fulfilled soon! *If you want to follow Jesus, you need to get out, move out.. . *It's not about them or what you are doing for Him.. . it's all about Him and following Him *I now see the purpose why He asked me to chase Him. No regrets! *We are all interrelated and interconnected.e

I just thought of this while watching Wildlife For Sale (a documentary).. . God created everything -- humans, animals, nature -- for a purpose.. . We complement each other.. . Once there is a deficit, it will lead to destruction. Why do people kill the wildlife and sell them? Because there's not enough job.. . Why is there not enough job? I don't know really.. . Can we blame the government? Because of corruption? I'm not sure.. . But most likely because there is imbalance somewhere.. . Someone or something is not doing his job.. . that causes an imbalance in the environment. I remember my high school days.. .specially my biology class during second year.. .about ecosystem (is that under biology? right). Well as far as I can remember, there was once a discussion about balance in the environment. Are you familiar with the triangle with symbols on every corner? I can't remember well but if I remember it right, that talks about balance.. . Once you remove something from the

18,000 delegates.. . 50+ countries.. . 3 days.. . one conference.. . 3 days of Spirit-filled, God-inspired empowering worship, fellowship and fun! I want to write as much as I can but I'm just too overwhelmed!!! Hooooh! This is such and amazing conference.. . imagine being with people from different tribe, nation, and language, coming together as one in worship, fellowship, and thanksgiving? that's what's gonna happen in heaven.. . and He's so gracious to show us a glimpse of what it's like! I'm just blessed to have a Spiritual Family whose desire is to Honor God and Make Disciples.. . not only here.. . but in Every Nation.. . discipling believers.. . equipping them.. . training them to be leaders.. . and eventually plant churches.. If there's one thing that was brought back to life during this conference, that would be my desire and my heart for missions.. . it has been my lifelong dream since 2004 ='j.. .I didn't know how that would happen but I j

but I lost the enthusiasm to write because I can't upload pictures! what's wrong with java?! duh

Women were created to be valued.. . for their worth is far above rubies.. . A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls . -Proverbs 31:10 | Amplified Bible But nowadays, we seldom find women who value themselves far more than rubies.. . because they don't know their worth .. . That's one of the reasons why women do things to get other people's attention.. . expose their bodies to receive appreciation.. . remain in a relationship even though the other treats them indifferently.. . Women tend to do silly things for them to be valued.. . when in fact, she shouldn't.. . she just needs to realize that her value is far above rubies or pearls. God created women with value . Unless she knows how much she's worth, she will not learn how to value herself. She needs to realize that she is not worthless. If she knows and understands her value and worth, she will not give

lapit na!!!

KIDS. Innocent. Not-minding anything. Time is of no essence. Nothing but play time. I found myself taking a picture of these kids while I was watching them play with the net --they just kept on swinging the net with the ball inside and they enjoyed it. They kept on laughing and giggling and laughing not minding if what they're doing will tire them out. If you'll see two adults doing this, you might say it's silly.. . but kids don't mind what others think of what they do as long as they enjoy it ^^ It's their task to play.. . That's why it breaks my heart to see kids on the street smoking . Kids, say 4, 5 or 6 years old.. . and above.. . and sadly, there are some who are younger.It just breaks my heart.. . Even so now, watching it on TV (Smokids | i-witness). What can I do? Who's to blame? It crushed me even more when the kid said, " Natutunan ko sa bahay.. . yung tatay ko kasi pinapabili ako ng sigarilyo tapos pinasindihan ng tatay ko sa

I've wondered at times what kind of man this Judas was. What he looked like, how he acted, who his friends were. I guess I've stereotyped him. I've always pictured him as a wiry, beady-eyed, sly, wormy fellow, pointed beard and all. I've pictured him as estranged from the other apostles. Friendless. Distant. Undoubtedly he was a traitor and a quisling. Probably the result of a broken home. A juvenile delinquent in his youth. Yet I wonder if that is so true. We have no evidence (save Judas's silence) that would suggest that he was isolated. At the Las Supper, when Jesus said that his betrayer sat at the table, we don't find the apostles immediately turning to Judas as the logical traitor. No, I think we've got Judas pegged wrong. Perhaps he was just the opposite. Instead of sly and wiry, maybe he was robust and jovial. Rather than quiet and introverted, he could have been outgoing and well meaning. I don't know. But for all the things we don't know ab

I hope you can find ways of connecting multiply to tumblr or vice-versa.. . I really wanted to keep you and keep tumblr but it will be very tiring if I will post the same thing here after i post it to tumblr, right? =) I do hope you can work things out for me.. . I'm not being selfish ^^ It will benefit a lot of people I tell you =)

I just need to remember this verse ^^ Ephesians 2:19-21 (New International Version) 19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

It's my second time to be confined but first time in a hospital.. . He has His own ways of reminding me where I should be.. . And upon seeing the nurses.. . the patients.. .the doctors.. . the ER.. . wow.. . it's like there's this this is where i should be thought.. .There's excitement.. .there's joy =).. . and I'm glad He's the door.. For the past months, I've been waiting for a go signal if I can go back.. . And I'm glad He did ^^ Indeed He is the door and He is the way ^^ We need no worry about the future because He knows what's going on.. . He has a purpose why He brought me there and I'm just so thankful and grateful ^^ But I must make another step of faith.. . and I still thank Him for that! It's good to see the ER again ^^

Since I started 121, I planned to create a new blog in a different site.. . then I forgot to make one haha.. . and a few minutes ago, I just did! http://livinonlybygrace.tumblr.com

Mark 1:17 *What is a disciple? Someone who FOLLOWS Jesus FELLOWSHIPS with believers FISH for people *How do we become fishers of men? Who do we follow? -You follow the person who's teaching you -Your destiny is to become fishers of men *Romans 10:14 Someone has to tell somebody about Jesus. There is no other plan. *2 Cor 5:14-15 The new you has a responsibility to live for God alone. That's the reason why we disciple. MAKE DISCIPLES 4 E'S *ENGAGE with people (culture and community) *ESTABLISH Biblical Foundation -- faith. Word. Church *EQUIP believers to minister *EMPOWER believers to make disciples ONLY A DISCIPLED PERSON CAN DISCIPLE OTHERS AS WELL. God has a great purpose for them... Don't withhold other's blessings!

Julianne [VERSE 1] I'm stronger than before Stronger than I'll ever be And I raise my eyes to the One The One who made me see All what I thought was lost But now is found And I'm grateful [VERSE 2] Grateful for the day You called my name Ever since You walked into the door It's never been the same Mornings are brighter now I'm not afraid And I wake up each day With a smile on my face [REFRAIN] Coz I've been in places Where I couldn't even see The light of day And then You came [CHORUS] I'm grateful You showed me the way back to my beautiful [VERSE 3] Everything seems different now Things are turned inside out With a new pair of senses to go with around It doesn't even matter If I'm up or down [VERSE 4] Blues are bluer Smiles are brighter It draws a tear whenever I watch the sunsets paint the sky I don't even mind walking under the rain I never laughed like this before And I'm gonna say it once more

^^ haha ^^ I wanted to buy a birthday gift for myself.. . I wanted to buy another jacket sana (I saw a blue one in SM Dasma huhu).. . but I received a text message this morning that there is a 20% off on all OMF books at Victory Resource center in Ortigas (till June 26).. . went there, browsed the books.. . then I bumpbed into these ^^ Hindi naman ako masyadong fan ni Max Lucado =p If you're thinking of a best gift, try giving books ^^ Which reminds me of some books that I still want ^^ ( Lord, sana po may i-touch Ka na magregalo ng libro sa 'kin ^^ ): **Never Give Up --Joyce Meyer **Mystery of God's Will --Charles Swindoll **If You Want to Walk on Water You've Got to Get Out of the Boat --John Ortberg **God is Closer Than You Think --John Ortberg ^^

I don't know what the title of this blog will be.. . so i'll just leave it like that.. . A friend once said that if you have a goal, all of your decisions must be inclined to that goal.. . but she said, that's just her own opinion.. . And I came to realize that she has a point indeed.. . If you want to be like this, why be like that, right? I'm turning 23 in a matter of days.. . and when I was younger, it's easy to say that I want to be like this, I want to have this and that.. . but when you're this old, it seems like it's not that easy at all.. . Yes, I have my own dreams.. . I have my own desires but I need to make wise decisions as well.. . I need wisdom.. . and after that, I need to do my part and take that step of faith towards my dream.. . but it's hard.. .if you don't know God, who can you turn to? whew.. . Good thing we can always trust Him and His Words.. . He said, For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm y

My officemate and I were working on our bulletin board 2 hours before the shift ends last night.. . After sort of finishing it, it somehow dawned on me that I am no longer the person I used to be (artistic.. . talented.. .) it seemed like I lost a lot and became a nothing because I am (always) sitting in front of the computer.. . dialing.. . It showed me the things that I lack.. . and it made me think.. . Did He indeed abandon me? Of course not ! My God will never leave me nor forsake me! Every good thing comes from Him! There are times when the enemy will use our emotions (especially when we feel down) to make us quit, lose hope and forget our dreams.. . I was soooo down like I wanna cry.. . But these words (from my previous devotion ) perked me up.. . Have you listened to what God is saying to You? If He says, He will never leave you, never will He! Because of His grace, I found myself hanging on.. . Because of His grace, I'm still able to walk on.. . and tell the enemy, Jesus l

(Hindi talaga ko mahilig sa kahit anong journal.. .=p kaya nga thankful ako dito haha!) Tada! OneNote!

Week 1- Pray to Know God Better Ephesians 1:17-19 Notes: *Sometimes we still pray for things that we already have (Eph. 1:13-14). Just access it by faith! *God is not bothered if you keep on asking * THE FOUNDATION OF ALL PRAYERS IS TO KNOW CHRIST BETTER * Prayer is communication.. . We communicate to make things clear.. . *It is not possible to know Him with your intellectual capacity *The Holy Spirit can help us know God in a more experiential way *You need the Spirit of God to know Him better *You may know God but do you know Him personally? *Ask for the Spirit of God to give you wisdom and revelation that the eyes of your heart (the real man) may be enlightened (for you to know what He specifically wants you to do) in order that you may know: (1) the hope to which he has called you -- your calling, there is certainty about the Hope He gives us! IT IS FOR SURE! (2) the riches of His glorious inheritance -- you and I (3) His incomparably great power for us who believe -- the power to

haha! decided to buy a separate journal for preaching series.. . and I bumped into this.. .

^^, from Junior inquirer.. . Walang magawa kaya nagbasa ng dyaryo.. . I was awestruck by some of the letters.. . Kung bata talaga ang sumulat nito, wow Lord.. . 'San ka naman nakakita ng bata na susulat sa Presidente at magre-request ng camp!? COOL!!!! Grabe lang ung desire nila for the country.. at mga bata nga 'to.. . Nakakadurog lang ng puso na makita ung ganitong letter coming from children.. . kung ganito ang mga bata ngayon, wow! Indeed may mararating ang Pilipinas!

(at somehow gusto kong gawin.. .) * mag -ice skating * mag -wall climbing * mag -trekking haha! sana lang may time ako =| at may kasama diba?

* He brought you here to unlearn things.. . to focus on what's really important * Above all else, what matters is your relationship with Him.. . not how impatient you are in engaging with activities * Circumstances, activities, every thing else will fade away.. . your relationship with Him should not depend on that.. .

You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself. EXODUS 19:4 God did not deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt so that they could enjoy the Promised Land. He freed them from their bondage so they could come to know and worship Him. Three months after they left Egypt, God reminded His people why He had delivered them "on eagle's wings." It was to bring the people to Himself . That is, God saved them so that they could enjoy intimate fellowship with Him. The Israelites had been slaves with no freedom to worship God. Now, with their own land, they could come to know and serve God freely. God's call was not to destroy the idolatrous nations in Canaan, not to settle the lands they conquered and not to establish a new nation, although all these would be accomplished. Rather, God called them primarily to be a people who loved and worshiped Him. Through God's act of deliverance they came to know Him as an a

I love reading.. . and I love books.. . I treat them as my priceless possessions (though most of them, I haven't finished reading until now!) And last week, I took time to go to PCBS at SM Dasma (for the first time this year haha!) and found this one! Very timely ^^ And this one's a gift! ^^ I remembered before, I even asked Hana where she got her one2one book hehe.. . Didn't know that later on, I'll have my own book and one to one session with a small group leader! Thanks to Ate Major who gave this book ^^ thanks to the cake as well! haha! Didn't have anything to write on that time that's why I wrote on the paper bag for the first session ^^ Indeed, He is always on time! No delays.. . Always on time!

Week 2-Powrful Weakness � It is not the cross that gves u d power.. .d cross itself s just an artcle.. .it's Someone who was nailed on the cross that gave us d power! � u wont undrstand d power of the cross unless understand d power of sin - sin is sin. � ure free frm anyting u wnt to do but ure nt free frm its consequences.. -the power of sin- *sin destroys romans 6.23 --not only u but the people around u *sin entangles hebrews 12.1 --it is a vicious cycle *sin separates isaiah 59.2 --a Holy God cannot stand a sinful man.. �it is not d holy ting u do dat makes u ryt wd God.. .nt even religion.. .IT'S D HOLY THING HE DID. -THE POWER OF THE CROSS- *pays d penalty for our sins.. U no longer need to be nailed on the cross.. . THE POWER OF THE CROSS IS JESUS CHRIST FORGIVING IS AND FREEING US FROM OUR SINS! you can be changed because of the one who died on the cross.. . Ur choice.

I've heard lots of stories bout text messages saying "This is my new roaming number etc".. . I know a few who gave in to those text messages because of some reasons.. . I received a txt message this afternoon just like that.. . It reads "Mzta n kyong lhat jan ngaun my pdadala nga pla ako jan n package at i2 okey lng ako d2 i2 nga pla yong roaming #qo at ingat kyo jan plage & godbless." I replied, "who's this?" twice.. . coz after the first time I sent it, the person sent the same message.. .the second time i sent "who's this?" I received the same message again.. . then the person sent just the same message.. . I replied, "Huli ka na! Manloloko ka!!! Naisumbong na kita sa imbestigador!!" Then, no response received.. . ^^ I wanted to report the number but unfortunately, can't reach Globe Cust Service (kasi kailangan ata may load ka pangtawag hehe)

Starting all over is easier said than done.. Just when you thought you’re doin’ great, you’ll realize you need to go back to square one again.. . It’s only by God’s grace that we can endure and see our dreams come to pass.. . Just when you thought you’ve got nowhere to go, you’ll see His hand moving.. . and you don’t need to use your own strength because His grace is sufficient.. . Just when I thought I got nowhere to go, He started answering my prayers.. . Indeed God is always on time to bring a fresh start.. . His way! I’m now starting this journey again.. . ^^ His way. See more progress on: start all over

Received a gift from one of my churchmates few years ago.. . I started reading it after a year.. . and I forgot when I started reading it.. . and until now, I’m 10 chapters away from finishing it! haha! Hopefully, I’m done reading it if not by the end of the month, hopefully by next month.. . whew See more progress on: finish the book Let Me Be a Woman

I don’t have a laptop to access the internet in the boarding house so I’m planning to buy a PDA phone to help me do my online business as well.. . I should’ve had it.. . but something came up.. . hopefully next month, I’ll be able to buy one! I’m choosing Samsung B7320 over Nokia E63 … .I find it more functional haha ^^ See more progress on: Buy a PDA phone

hmmmm.. . I"m thinking of trying something new this time ^^ bumped into this website last night and I think this one's cool.. . ^^ goal-setting and accomplishing your goals in life.. . Hmmmm the only hindrance is that, I can't blog it all the time! haha 43things

It may be hard to forget the not so good things.. . and it may be even harder to forget the good things that happened.. .but there's one thing I remember if you want to be victorious -- FORGET THE PAST (Preaching from Ptr. Anthony last year).. . and forgetting the past means you forget the bad things and the good things as well ^^ and so I can't remember anything haha! except for His grace and mercy that He showered upon me and my family last year.. . there's just one thing that I won't ever forget--and that's His love.. . and that's what I brought when I welcomed this year last night ^^ and there's one thing that I keep on declaring--I am BLESSED! and indeed I am! Psalm 119:33-40 -- my heart's cry for this year...

good thing to start new year right?! ^^ If you think you are BLESSED, you CAN be blessed!!! (besides, you're already blessed because of HIM!) For the first time, my name was called in a raffle.. . unang-una pa! haha! and not only once, but twice! wuhooooo!!! We had a New Year's Eve shift last night pero I chose to be happy even if I'm not with my family ^^ Happiness is a choice.. .and I know that this year is something special.. . We heard that there will be a raffle.. . they're giving out cash... . haha and never in my life have I won in a raffle (as in!) haha.. . pero 2 days ago, I was just praying.. . I wanted to sow seeds sa isang church na ginagawapa lang.. .so I prayed to God to bless me, although I pledged already, I was just burdened to give more.. .so I prayed for Him to bless me.. .and vowed to give half of what I will get to the church.. . and so I won!!! wuhoooooo! praise God!!! BLESSED NEW YEAR INDEED!!
