It's like falling inlove again and again with the man that Lord sent for me to love and to cherish days with.
The first time i heard this song, i can only say WOW...because in our hearts-as-one-in-the-Lord, we both know that only the Lord Jesus could love us more...it's true in every side...in all our life.
Thank You Father for Your faithfulness and for loving as unconditionally and for always instilling in our hearts that we are nothing without You as the center of our lives.
We owe it a lot to You, Lord.
Thank You so much.
To God be the glory forever :)
Here's the Lyrics came from someone Anonymous :
I asked the Lord for someone,
And I always knew that in God's time and in God's way
It would be someone like you.
All my hopes and all my dreams
Were suddenly fulfilled
It's almost unbelievable
Our love is in His will.
Only God could love you more,
For He gave me this love I have for you.
What a blessing to know He's your Lord,
For only God could love you more, than I do.
I'm tempted to be saying ,
That we met by chance
But God was there at every turn,
In every circumstance
To share this life God gave me
Seems such a fearful task,
But every moment we have shared
Is more than I could ask

Thank You Lord.
To God be the glory. Jesus Christ is Lord.

A Thanksgiving Tears
My husband played this on our computer this morning before we started having our breakfast. And he suddenly burst to crying. I can feel how he misses his parents, sister and brother (who died in 2007).
I can feel his sadness. I can feel his desire to see them. I can feel how he wanted to embraced them and be with them. I can feel his love for them.
THANKSGIVING as i believe is a very important thing for americans. This is the time that family gather together and enjoy each other's company.
I hugged him and tell him that i love him and we will have a thankful THANKSGIVING.
He smiled but tears keeps on flowing from his eyes.
We can only pray that next year, we will be part of the family gathering in New York where his parents and sister resides.
Keep on trusting the Lord and praying that He will grant us our heart's desire.
Thank You Lord for everything.
Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Through Prayer Blessing Flows
I always believe in the power of PRAYER and more so in the power of our Righteous Lord.
Thank You Lord for all the blessings and the joy in receiving them. I pray that as You bless us, we can be a good steward of it all.
Thank You also for Your love, grace, mercy, strength, joy, peace, loving kindness and for Your salvation.

Mark 11:22-25 (New King James Version)
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.Thursday, November 18, 2010
I Love L.A.B
Such a blessing today to heard someone loving LAB.
I guess she meant "laboratory" class or something but knowing her and her faith, i knew she loves LIFE and it's a blessing to her...she got one beautiful life in the Lord. She's young but very active in sharing God's LAB to all. Keep up dear Justine!
LAB means Life's A Blessing.
Have a blessed and joyous life to all :)

Psalms 63
Psalm 63
1O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth
by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
A lovely reminder in the morning.
To God be the Glory forever and ever. Amen.
Today's Happiness for me is...

Thought to Ponder
Isn't it
God's will
to pray about
what He wanted
to happen into
our lives and
not what we would like
our life to be?
Read our Bible. God will show us His ways....far better than what we thought it could be.
Because We Cannot Say No
Pastor always reminds us that our calling is "irrevocable" as what the Bible says too.
For years that i have been a part of the Music Team, i have learned that the platform is just a form, an object, a design....but once you stand there, that platform became something. It's a form of obedience, it's an object of praise, it's a design for change.
The ones who stand there became a living testimony of what a calling is all about. It's not only a Sunday thing, it's a lifetime commitment, it's a devotion, it's a service.
When your heart aches for more, God fills it with more....OF HIM.
Pastor asked me to teach at one of Home Bible Study Cell. At first, i was hesitant. Because i am afraid, or should i say scared. I am not confident that i can do it because my knowledge in the Word of God isn't that good or excellent compared to others. I am not "well-versed".
I am standing in the pulpit every Sunday, doing some exhortation, pray and sing but never did i imagine myself onto a Bible Cell leading others and teaching them about the Gospel.
So many people confirmed that calling. My pastor, my co-ministers in Music, my friends, my brethren, etc.
Until last August 18, 2010, i answered God's call. I started learning from the teachings. I started to seriously open the Bible, taking a closer look at every details of God's powerful revelations written in that book.
This made me closer to the family in that Bible Cell and then souls are coming, the Lord is filling the house with the lost....now i understand His purpose...BIBLE STUDY CELL as a way to lead the lost to Him. Awesome.
More to testify....:)

Acts 20:24 (King James Version)
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

Reason for me not to judge the LOST
1. Jesus love the LOST.
2. There is no sin so dirty and dark that the blood of Christ cannot cleanse and forgive.
3. I am once LOST.
4. The LOST needs help and that help is understanding and love from others.
5. The LOST needs Jesus just like you and me.
6. The LOST needs a place in our hearts.
7. The LOST has a heart of God and the Lord is waiting for them.
8. God can change the LOST.
I don't know why i am telling this, but there are times that i am feeling lost still in this world. It's like being outcast, don't belong to the group, not "in", not understood.
My mind longs for some rest away from the worries of life, away from comparisons from others lives, away from the life that i would like to have and to dwell into but i just couldn't.
There are times that though i am married, i still feel a sense of loneliness even in the presence of my husband. The kind of loneliness that i want the Lord Jesus to fill with His joy and His love and His strength.
I am once lost and God reach out to me. I am thankful for a beautiful life despite the despites.
More fire in my heart Lord please :)

A Charmed Life
Video of shen and her mom
Living everyday life with joy, hope, faith and love from the Lord Jesus.
A charmed life everyone would love to have.
A life of purpose. Of victory over sins and suffering.
A life truly centered in Christ no matter what.
Unwavering. Indescribable.
It's a charmed life that has its ups and down.
Not perfect because of its blues and cues.
I wonder how life would be without the truth of Jesus. How things maybe without the loving and enduring heart of God. How seeds maybe without the supply of the water of life.
This is going to be a fair life for all of us. God's enduring grace is shining and it's lighting our path straight to where He is.
What kind of life do you have? Are you enjoying it? I hope you do my friend.
This is just another page of my life.
I just want to thank You Lord for everything and anything that goes our way for i know You hold everything. We're safe in Your hands.
Enjoying life is going to try some rides :)

TRUST HIS HEART with lyrics
I always remember my college years and college friends. This is one of our graduation song.
And God is really too good to all of us. I can see the life of my friends, all centered in God.
So awesome.
I hope to see them again someday.
And God is really too good to all of us. I can see the life of my friends, all centered in God.
So awesome.
I hope to see them again someday.

Today I Celebrate
Today, i celebrate the life given by my Life-Giver Daddy God.
For all the things i have been through, for all that i have, for all that i will have...i give back all the glory, honor and praise to my Heavenly Daddy.
Lord, thank You for Your love, grace, mercy, unmerited favors, protection, continuous support and help, guidance, wisdom and knowledge, financial blessings, physical blessing, for the food, shelter and clothing, for a wonderful family and friends, for a loving husband, and for an awesome churchmates and for the gift of LIFE. Thank You so much Lord. I owe everything to You alone for without You i am nothing.
God really works on ways better than what we think we can have.
I was with the crowd last night and it was really awesome when one of my cousin professed his faith in God and telling us how blessed he is for knowing God. It stirs me up as we are all waiting for that blessed day for him to change. And now, God's perfect time came. No more hard heart, all we can see is humility. No pride, but forgiveness. This is just an awesome gift for me...being able to have an answered prayer with regards to the salvation of my family. Awesome way, Lord. Thank You.
This morning i had kisses and embraces and words of love from my husband. Wow, he's so sweet. And i also got a greeting card from him which he creatively made for me. I really do appreciate such act of love 'cause i know it came from his heart.
And then, before i leave for work, my sister handed me a crafted cd case with greetings from my family and relatives. Wow i am loved. Very unique and i guess i am going to prepare to go for a family invitation tonight. Where? I don't know yet haha. Mom told me she will send me a message this afternoon. Whew..i am sooo excited.
Plus, i've got loads of birthday greetings from my faithful friends and churchmates. And an email from my Mother-in-law straight from the US. Whoaaa...thank You lord for these people whom You gave me to love, cherish, respect and cared for.
This is truly awesome Lord. All Your works are praiseworthy. All your ways are beautiful and priceless.
Thank You so much Lord for everything.
I pray for more years of serving You and being a servant to all Your people.
I love You Lord.

Another Song that Draw me near to my Lord
Whew...so many testimony to say but today i would like to testify on how this one song stirred up my faith for the past few days.
First, i know the Lord is coming back very very soon s it says in the Bible. Who knows when? No one, but God telling us this things is a reminder for us to be prepared. We don't know when. People who says they know, well, we can only trust God on this.
Second, i always dreamed of having a mansion. John 14:2 Jesus says, "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."...The Lord has prepared for me what i have dreamed of. Not here on earth but in the place where me and my family and loved ones shall dwell...in God's Holy Place. What a faithful promise God has for us!
Third, i will be singing this song at Church on our Winterfire Night Event for Young Urban professionals. I am asked to choose a song and looking and checking around youtube, i finnaly found what i wanted to sing...all for the glory of God.
Fourth, i am satisfied. The Scripture says, "But godliness with contentment is great gain." in 1 Timothy 6:6. My soul longeth and the Lord filled it with His love and grace. With God we have everything for God in His greatness is unstoppable. He is always able.
Fifth, i am saved and that is by the blood of Christ that is shed for you and me. I am God's child. I am forgiven. My sins have been forgotten. God changed me. New being. New beginning. New hope and life to face with the Lord.
More to mention. Testimony cannot be numbered because it is overflowing. Blessings of joy, peace, wisdom, happiness, whether it be financial and physical...and ofcourse SPIRITUAL...all are overflowing.
I just love the day. There maybe disappointment or sadness in some point but believing and trusting in the Lord's nail-scarred hands, i know everything will be ok...or it is indeed ok as testified.
To God be the glory.
The song by the way is entitled, "Soon and Very Soon" by Brooke Fraser and here's the lyrics i got from lyricsreg:

Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him, I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
I'll be going to the place He has prepared for me

Soon and very soon
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon

The angels and the elders round the throne
At His feet I'll lay

Soon and very soon
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of heaven
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him, I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
I'll be going to the place He has prepared for me

There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of heaven

I Am A Sinner
...BUT blood-bought-and redeemed :)
In my generation, i have learned that sins will always hurt a person. be it the sin that you don't like to do and the sin that you just do for some reason e.g.white lies. Pastor told us every now and then that "white lies" no matter how white it is, or no matter your intention is still a lie.
It's like a sin even on our mind, when we think bad things about others, it will always be sin.
SIN as defined by Susannah Wesley, "Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; whatever increases the authority of your body over your mind, that thing, to you, is sin."
The Word of the Lord written talks about sin also:
Leviticus 5:17
And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 6:2
If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
Numbers 21:7
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Job 1:5
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
So many things we do that made us call sinners. SIN separates us from God.
But God is faithful. Two thousand years ago, there are the Cross, He bear our sins and iniquities by giving and sacrificing His own life - clean life- for us to be saved. He thinks about us on His way to that Calvary. He endured everything...for His love is real.
Love covered our sins. Love healeth us. Love changes us. That kind of love no one can do but Jesus.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Luke 5:20
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Luke 7:47
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
In my generation, i have learned that sins will always hurt a person. be it the sin that you don't like to do and the sin that you just do for some reason e.g.white lies. Pastor told us every now and then that "white lies" no matter how white it is, or no matter your intention is still a lie.

Thus did Job continually.
So many things we do that made us call sinners. SIN separates us from God.
But God is faithful. Two thousand years ago, there are the Cross, He bear our sins and iniquities by giving and sacrificing His own life - clean life- for us to be saved. He thinks about us on His way to that Calvary. He endured everything...for His love is real.
Love covered our sins. Love healeth us. Love changes us. That kind of love no one can do but Jesus.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Luke 5:20
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Luke 7:47
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Are you a Notetaker?
I received a text message from a friend two days ago. She mentioned about being a notetaker as something like a history maker.
I kept thinking how? Hmmm...maybe the notetakers made books about the things they've heard? Maybe they became teachers or preachers? Maybe they became a song-writer and singers by taking words or phrases they've heard from one speaker? Maybe the things they've written made an impact in their lives and they were able to testify on one event or another? Maybe...
I just thought of persons. I thought of the holy men of God who put into writings whatever the Lord revealed to them. I thought of how they've kept each paper or wherever they've wrote it in a safe place but not hidden, for the next generation to read it. I thought of them who followed God. They became known because of their obedience to the words that they'be wrote.
Job 19:23
"Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,
Jeremiah 36:2
After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah
Luke 3:4
As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.
It is written. It has been said. It will be done.

He simply knows me
God impressed Himself to me years ago in the city of Pines, Baguio City Philippines. I was a student in college then. My friend Gwen told me there will be a concert at the People's Park. Knowing that i haven't known the REAL Lord before, she never mentioned that it would be a Christian concert. When we got there, people are raising their hands and singing songs of REAL praise that i have never heard before.
And i saw Tom Walker. He is testifying something about this little boy he once had conversationed with. And after that he sing a song that's really touching. It touch my heart. I thought i couldn't stand the "corny" people singing and dancing with their hands raised up and mentioning Jesus' Name...but oh, i became one of them. I became corny.
I have a stone heart. But God, with all His strength and love, softened it.
I am never the same because i relaized that for all the things that i've been through...i am not alone. And Someone up there, knows me...my name.
It's so good to be love. So great to feel that God knows me by name and knows everything about me.
He knows my thought. He knows my ways. He knows the way that i wanted to go and He knows His plans for me are better.
I am what i am because of the Lord Jesus who has been faithful to me...in that Park in Baguio City, Jesus revealed Himself to me...in a song.
To God be the glory!!!

Be Still
Psalm 46:10 (New International Version)

I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

Thanks be to God for His grace and mercy endures forever.
I am feeling a bit unwell because i am worried that i couldn't deliver God's message at our home bible study cell tonight. I feel like i am not ready yet. But one thing i know, God called me to this a long time ago. I always testify on the goodness of God but i can only say it and mean it. I can only hope that people listen to me. I can only pray for souls. I can only obey God's voice.
Last week, in our home bible study cell, as it is our second week there, i come up with a topic about winning souls for Jesus and not be afraid to declare and say to all about His goodness. The reason? Well, clean and clear straight from God's Word:
Matthew 10:32-33 (New International Version)
32"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.
33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
And tonight, i wonder how i will start the studyor sharing.
I can only share about the love of Jesus that restores my soul...that leads me to the right path...that forgive and cleanses me from my sins...that gives me breath all day and night...that keeps me...that embraces me and calling me His own.
I am breathing God's breath. Borrowed breath. Sweet breath.
God is not yet done. His purpose is not yet met. Long way to go to serve God and to make Him known to all mankind.
....this my soul knows very well.
This is the lyrics to the song Keep Breathing by Kerrie Roberts as posted by Donna on blogger. Thank you girl and God bless your heart and all the works of your hands.
You wait in darkness for answers that you can't see.
You know what you deserve and
You're wondering why your life is not what you thought it should be.
When the night breaks your heart still aches.
How can you face the day?
Just...
Keep breathing, you'll make it.
Don't give in, you're not done yet.
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing, and believing.
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer when you feel like you're dying.
Keep breathing.
When every moment is almost more than you can take;
Well you've got to know some tomorrow will bring you a breakthrough.
That's the reason why you've got to get through today.
When the night's gone you will be strong.
Keep breathing, you'll make it.
Don't give in, you're not done yet.
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing, and believing.
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer when you feel like you're dying.
With every breath you bring in hope.
You're letting go of all your doubt.
When nothing is easy you've got to keep going
Even when you don't know how;
You don't have to know how.
No...
Keep breathing, you'll make it.
Don't give in, you're not done yet.
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing, and believing.
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer when you feel like you're dying.
Keep breathing.
Don't give up cuz you're not done.
Keep breathing.
You know what you deserve and
You're wondering why your life is not what you thought it should be.
When the night breaks your heart still aches.
How can you face the day?
Just...
Keep breathing, you'll make it.
Don't give in, you're not done yet.
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing, and believing.
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer when you feel like you're dying.
Keep breathing.
When every moment is almost more than you can take;
Well you've got to know some tomorrow will bring you a breakthrough.
That's the reason why you've got to get through today.
When the night's gone you will be strong.
Keep breathing, you'll make it.
Don't give in, you're not done yet.

Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer when you feel like you're dying.
With every breath you bring in hope.
You're letting go of all your doubt.
When nothing is easy you've got to keep going
Even when you don't know how;
You don't have to know how.
No...
Keep breathing, you'll make it.
Don't give in, you're not done yet.
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing, and believing.
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer when you feel like you're dying.
Keep breathing.
Don't give up cuz you're not done.
Keep breathing.
With all love and prayer,

Be Alert!!!
Mark 13:33 (King James Version)
33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Ephesians 6:18 (King James Version)
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
1 Thessalonians 5:6 (King James Version)
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1 Peter 5:8 (King James Version)
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
BE ALERT!!!
We Christian, has been alerted...tested...tried so many times in our Christian lives.
There are times that we conquered it and times that it conquered us.
We fell asleep forgetting about a certain responsibility of being watchful...or being alert.
Here's the basic example....1.) we tend to sleep without praying and 2.) we eat without giving grace.
And then we woke up incomplete. We finished the food and never satisfied. We end up unwell. As much as we need to be fed with the things in the world, the MORE we need our spirit to be feed.
Be ALERT. Be Watchful. Don't sleep in vain. Sleep with a smile because we forget not to pray. We fight the flesh. We conquer the enemy. We stand faithful in God's eyes. We lift the Name of the Most High God. We won the battle. We have given greater glory to God.
It is the Lord Jesus who is first. Not the flesh. Not the mind. Not the Heart. It's Jesus, the Living God.
We stayed alert for His glory and for our benefit. As we fight the darkness who tried to stole our senses away from what we ought to do, we are more than conquerors. It's all because of Jesus.
To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Be careful what you eat
Praise the Lord for all His blessed help to me. God is very present in our times of troubles...this i know very well. It has been proven in my life.
After supper, lastnight, i felt s0mething itchy in my shoulder. I ignored it thinking it is only mosquito bites. I boil water and mixed it with the cold one we have in our restroom. When i went to inside the bathroom, i felt itchiness all over my body. It's like a worm moving around fast and i cannot stand it. After my bath i can still feel the itchiness. When i went outside, it scared me seeing my body filled with itchy reddish poofy thing. I shouted thrice before my husband attend to me because he was watching alpha dog movie and it's kinda loud. He looks terrible when he saw me. But he managed to be calm still.
I asked him to call my mom because we both dont know what to do.
Mom immediately attend to my needs. Thank You Lord for my mama.
Mom asked me what did i ate the whole day. Mom knew im allergic to egg,and my body reacts to it especially when i had a lot. But she also thought that it maybe some kind of food poisoning.
While mom's still talking i suddenly fell dizzy and itchy and my eyes begins to blur. When i told mom,she said i am just nervous and so my sister lareigne gave me water. Thanks sis.
Mom called the communily ambulance assistance because my eyes started to blur bad and i find it hard to breathe.
My husband kept on praying for me. He held my hands to him and i rest on a pillow he put on his legs while on our way to the hospital.
The travel seems long. Mom is asking the first aide assistance on what they thought about my situation. Someone said, usually allergy or food poisoning. The other said it might be some insect bite.
Thank God for His goodness and grace. When we arrived at the hospital, i walk with my husband to look for a doctor while mom was asked by a nurse to log my name at the information.
They gave me two shots in my hands and arms. Scarry needle but i trust on the Lord.I am doing great now. Thank you for praying

On FLOOD
There's something about the flood that scares me. It's the LIFE of the people trying to saved their lives as well as their family's lives plus their home.
It's the SALVATION of everyone involved.
Genesis 6:17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
I can feel the pain while watching videos from youtube. So many flood happened. So many lives lost. So any people suffer.
And still only God knows the reason for everything.
Last year, we experienced flood in the Philippines too. In my hometown, i walk in the water. There are dirt that you won't mind looking 'coz all you wanna do is to conquer your fear and be home with your family.
I am 5'2 feet tall with 5inches foot size. I was afraid to walk on that muddy water where all kinds of things were there. I was afraid of the waves i saw. I was afraid to see dead body. I was afraid to notice this woman behind me gasping her breath. I was afraid seeing pigs/hogs floating in the place. I was afraid thinking i might not be able to finished walking and the water will just ate me.
Whew, every fear convinced me that i was down without faith.
But oh, while walking, i can still read text messages from people who loves me dearly. Words of encouragements staright from the Word of God.
Would it be fun to think that i could walk in water? Like Peter perhaps? oh Peter wasn't able to finished it that's why the Lord told him, "oh you of little faith!"
Fear makes us forget isn't it? When we're afraid senses are at it's best. The things we see, hear and feel makes us nervous. Yay, what about the sense of taste. Oh that would be another thing to think about now.
Nervous according the one online dictionary is define as :
–adjective
1. highly excitable; unnaturally or acutely uneasy or apprehensive: to become nervous under stress.
2. of or pertaining to the nerves: nervous tension.
3. affecting the nerves: nervous diseases.
4. suffering from, characterized by, or originating in disordered nerves.
5. characterized by or attended with acute uneasiness or apprehension: a nervous moment for us all.
6. having or containing nerves.
7. sinewy or strong.
8. Archaic . vigorous or spirited.
—Synonyms
1. fearful, timid, timorous.
—Antonyms
1. confident, bold.
It is simply a NEGATIVE THOUGHT or FEELING.
But then again, by the grace and mercy of God, and through faith, we conquer those fears. The fear of the unknown. Yeah, unknown, because we don't know what will/might happen next or in the future with those kind of flood.
One thing is for sure. Nothing to be afraid at but God Himself.
God is always true to His promises.
Genesis 9:11
And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Joshua 24:14
Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Job 28:11
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
Psalm 29:10
The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
Those who trust in Jesus, and those who's Lord is Him that saves...are able to conquer the fear and forget about it. Because He that reigns on high is FAITHFUL.
Have a faith-filled day to all!

On Blogging, Twittering, Facebooking and Friendsterings
Whew that must be a lot to maintain eh.
Blogging trained me to think on what to share whether it be daily experiences, daily encounter with the Lord, sharing on what is happening in the blog world or on anything that affects me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But as much as possible, i would like to blog or to write only for the glory of God.
Early today, my darling co-servant in Christ Marianne sent a morning message abour her "baon" or something she carry with her for the day. A word of encouragement straight from the Bible.
My devotion for today centered on God's love and what does this love affect us as God's children.
Deuteronomy 7:8 (King James Version)
"But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed..."
On Twitter, that's also my tweet all about. All about the LOVE of God. While the world today suffers economical pain, i pray God's children be nortured with love from the Father. Hard to tell but when we feel God's LOVE surrounding us everyday, no matter the circumstances, no matter the pain in this present world...God's love will remain and will be revealed. Thank You Lord!
On Facebook, i shared LOVE. Every now and then i received messages that give delights to the Lord Most High. My co-servant in Christ, my co-workers at Church, my friends and family who are dear to me shared the same kind of love...the LOVE only the Lord Jesus could give. Unconditional. Indescribable. Simply amazing. We just opened an account for our church last night. That's an awesome thing. I pray the Lord be glorified in everything that we put in there. And that God be exalted in everything that we do.
On Friendster, this is the place where i got my clan got to know each other. I put up a separate page for the family where we could know each other. It works. There has been reunions and it made each hearts joyful. Thanks be to God. It is where i shared my beloved whom God sent for me to have and to love. This account of mine has never been that updated since the rise of facebook. But i owe some to that account. A personal thing that lead me to be at peace in some point in my life. This is the site where i first made a blog.
LOVE...LOVE...LOVE...this will not end. It will endure. It will remain. While the other things are vanity, LOVE will stand perfectly. God is LOVE. Our Lord is forever.
Yes, I love you with the love of the Lord!
Blogging trained me to think on what to share whether it be daily experiences, daily encounter with the Lord, sharing on what is happening in the blog world or on anything that affects me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But as much as possible, i would like to blog or to write only for the glory of God.
Early today, my darling co-servant in Christ Marianne sent a morning message abour her "baon" or something she carry with her for the day. A word of encouragement straight from the Bible.

Words of Encouragement from Friends
I always received simple messages from my friends via text messaging, and it always made me glad and really blessed my heart.
Here are some that i would like to share:
Heart is not a basket for keeping tension and worries. It is a bouquet for keeping happiness. ~ Mae
If ever you feel God is taking something from your hand, don't get sad. He is only emptying your hand so you can receive something better. ~ Merissa
Your safety is equivalent to someone else's peace of mind. ~ Gideon
Carry laughter with you wherever you go. ~ Justine
A child asked his father: "why do i need to be humble?" His father said, "when you choose the lowest path, there's no place to fall and the only way is up." ~ Hi
Always say: "I am happy because God is with me. Where I am there He is. What I do, He sees. How I feel, He knows. Truly God is good. " ~ Merissa
God's Word is what will open our eyes and cure spiritual blindness. ~ Jaypee
The entrance of Your Word gives light...Psalm 119:130
God is awesome! God is good!
God is LOVE!

On Coffee
 |
| Photo from http://www.txberry.com/news/20090512/newsletter.html |
I started drinking a glass of coffee when i was in Baguio City 10 years ago. I was in college then and it was really cold in the mountaneous place in the northern part of Luzon, Philippines.
When i started working with my foreign bosses, that's when i began drinking 2 to 3 more mugs of coffee a day. That's a mixture of brewed and instant coffee.
It's addictive. It's dangerous. Some studies says drinking coffee weakens the bones. And i felt it within me...my bones.
Then instead of the water cleaning my body, i started feeling dizzy at some time and had been dehydrated.
I tried quitting. It's been actaully days or weeks now that i don't drink as much mugs as i can. But today, i had one. Yay...and my head begins to bother me.
Quit or no quit?
Lord, my body is Your temple. And i would like to stay healthy so You could use me in the ministry. Help me to take a really good care to this body. I am yours Lord. Coffee is just a thing in the world and it will pass away. It is vanity.
I would like to offer my body for the glory of my Lord and Savior. Willing to serve, willing to leave the things that are of this world.
Lord, have mercy.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (King James Version)
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
Can we Discern the Tongue
I always believed that whenever someone speaks in tongue in prayers, it should be interpreted by someone also.
We cannot judge, but we can discern whatever is the motives of the person.
Prayer does not require flowery words for God looks into our hearts. Whatever is the intent on the heart, it is the Lord who knew.
But people must understand what has been said or murmurings will follow. I heard people asking one to another what has been said because none understood. Is it on our language? Is it just to let others know that there's a tongue? Is it just an added thing in your prayer? Who knows?
When i heard the "tongue", i tried to understand it but to no avail. But i would like to know what does it mean.
Shalom everyone!!
1 Corinthians 14 (King James Version)
"1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
17For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified."

Places for Pre-Wedding Photos
Here's my list:
1. Volunteer's Park - me and my family's name where written on the walls as we volunteered to clean Subic Bay Freeport Zone (formerly known as Subic Naval Base for Americans).
2. Subic Lagoon - i went here alone when i was still single because i love the color of the place. I just love green hehe. Plus the goose and ducks walking. I love looking at the lagoon. We went here also while we are still dating hehe.
3. Subic Yatch Club - we sneeked in to get photos of the yatch and ourselves. We just tell the guard and the personnel that we're getting married and they let us in. This for us are Divine Favors. Thank You, Lord Jesus.
4. Subic Lighthouse - a very nice location for pre-wedding shoots. I have seen people and couple arranging their photo shoots here. But for me, i simply love the LIGHTHOUSE as it is very symbolical to our faith as Christians.
5. Subic Boardwalk - a very nice place for photo shoots. Actors and models went here to take the photos for their wedding too. Plus the sunset is awesome. That's God's wonderful creation. Love it.

The Cliff
Just got Married!!!! well days ago a month ago actually...(so this is a late blog haha)
I would like to share a place where we had our Wedding and the Reception at the same time.
It's called "The Cliff"! It's located at Km 133 National Hwy, Olongapo City, Philippines.
Because i am working still while preparing for our wedding, my then fiance (now my husband) was also incharged on looking for nice place where we could do the wedding. We have so many things and list. But when he brought me here, i told myself (even without knowing the cost), "i wanna get married here".
We also consider four more locations: Ann Raquel's Resort in New Cabalan, By the Sea Resort in Barretto, Roosevelt Park in Bataan and a private pool place in Gordon Heights. We checked on those this, as we also being wise on our budget.
And FINALLY...we decided to choose this place. My husband love it. From the very start we really wanted to get married near the beach.
Here's the map and direction:
I love to share photos of the place as this is one important journey in my life....my wedding.

WONDERS Oh WONDERS
As much as i wanted to release the beauty given by the Lord God Almighty...the beauty that defines who He is and what He looks like...shining like the sun, sweet as the morning dew drops from the flowers on your yard, as bright as the moon in the night, as precious as stones that glows and glows, as beautiful as the morning clouds, as indescribable as He is....i just cannot define the wonder of of so wonderful beauty of the Lord.
Many times, the Bible mentioned about His wonder...His beauty.
From the beautiful sea to the bountiful plants and trees covering the mountains
God is truly wonderful in all His works.
Not just for the mountains, and the trees and the seas, but as He created the human beings....His majesty unfolds and is seen by all.
Thanks be to God.
Feel God's love today.
