Livin' only by Grace

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

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.

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...
