I know this is gonna be another awesome weekend with family and friends.

We're going to have our saturday dawnwatch at Church tomorrow at 5:30 too. Oh Lord what a weekend. It always excites me. Prayer is an exciting thing for me to do. Even when im alone or in a crowd of prayerful brethren.

Tomorrow, my nephew will be celebrating his 5th year on earth. I heard there will be fun at the beach...oh how i love the views. I love the sand, the water, the clear blue sky, the nippa huts, and the zigzag roads on the way to the beach.

I pray for my webcam and microphone to be fixed tomorrow too. I missed my husband and my mother-in-law as well as our loved ones abroad. Skype or Googletalk is a great way to communicate with loved ones real-time. I pray for wisdom to get the webcam fixed. Oh i should learn how to troubleshoot desktop computers, yay. Last year, i pray for a laptop, i believe it's not yet time to have that hehe. I am praying for a Mac...whew...Lord have mercy on me. Some people say it's very expensive to buy MAc especially in the Philippines. But my hope is in the Lord. Is anything too hard for Him to give? Certainty not. this my soul knows very well.

Oh how i missed my husband. It's almost a month now since he left the country to work abroad. I missed my prayer and Scripture Study partner. I missed him o Lord. 

Thanks be to God for beautiful people surrounding me. Thanks be to God for their love and patience and encouragement. They are God-given. My dad and mom has been very supportive. Oh what a gift to have a loving parents. They are of great help for me and my husband. Praise the Lord.

And for my Pastor, that never stop teaching me and praying for me and my fmaily too. He's been a good counselor. A man after God's own heart. He dedicated himseld in serving the Lord. I pray God will strengthen him more and use him for His greater glory. 

Yesterday, i went to a Christian Bookstore. There are so many Books and the Word of God on all different versions. I would like to give out Scriptures (Bible) this year to my fellow filipinos. I believe it is time...our salvation is nearer than when we first belive. Someone asked me, "are you rapture ready?" and i replied with a , "yes". And then she asked me again, "how about your family and friends, are they all rapture ready?" and i answered, "hmmm..(thinking)." Lord, provide for our soul today and always.

This is gonna be a lovely weekend because of the Lord Jesus.

Brethren, who are reading my blog, God bless you more than you could ever imagine.

Add me Up on FB

LUKE 2:49 

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? 

wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Oh i just need to blog about what God impressed in me through a co-servant in Christ and a friend on blogger and life. (thank you Emily)

I did quit FB (facebook) a week ago. There are many things there that stresses me and pressures me. Facebook is very open that even the darkest secret and the unloved and unexpected behavior is seen. As a Christian, i of course expect differences in a sense that believers don't conform to the work of the world as what the Bible says. Being born again is being a change person...there's new life in Christ. But on Facebook, people compromise a lot. People tried to get someone else attention there. People can hide their true self. One got as much as four accounts for reasons beyond explanation. 

And i am guilty of giving more time on updating my account instead of reading the Bible. This hurts me a lot. This isn't me.

On facebook, i seek myself...i show and promote myself. I tend others to love me and appreciate me by liking all my post and photos. I suddenly hate the not-so-good comments from others...while in reality i love REBUKES. I don't like people hurting people through words on facebook. I don't like the looks like immature attitude of others there. Oh well...in other word...being there doesn't have a good effect on me.

I read a devotion (im sorry i forgot the author), it says there Theology is the study of of the nature of God. We will be able to know it by studying the Word of God. It's there...crystal clear. But people doesn't know or people forget because they studied Me-ology which is the study of one self. The center is you, you, you or me,me,me. "What im going to write today?" "I need to update my status." "I need to check my notification." "Need to upload new photos"...".i have to..i have to...i need to be updated."

So there's a sort of an obligation or responsibility for you to do there. But at the end of the day, you lack something. At the end of the day, you'll be weary of doing it. At the end of the day, you'll realized your eyes grows dim. If you have 20/20 vision before, now you need to wear an eyeglasses.

At the end of the day, you'll realized how much time you spend infront of the computer just looking at your facebook and the profile and updates of your friends there. At the end of the day, you and your sister or mom will talk about the things you've seen on facebook...the life and ways of other people. The result, it's either you are blessed or you will compare yourself with others, you will be proud of yourself, you pity them or you pity yourself. 

The Bible Verse above lead us back to where we should be. To where we should spend our time and energy the most. To know what to prioritize: the temporary or eternity?

Luke 21:33

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away. 

Facebook will pass but God's Word won't. Your Me-ology will pass but God's Word won't.

We must be about our brand new FB which is our Father's Business.

I texted my friends today telling them this: "You asked me why i quit FB...my answer is i have started a brand new FB account, can you be my friend there? Oh, by the way FB means my Father's Business. Now add me up, friends."

I am so blessed beyond description. God is changing me. He is molding me to be a better servant. 

Thank You Lord Jesus for Your love, grace, mercy and for Your salvation. 

The Value of Wisdom

Proverbs 2

 ¹ My son, if you receive my words,And treasure my commands within you,
       ² So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
       ³ Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding,
       ⁴ If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures;
       ⁵ Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.
       ⁶ For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
       ⁷ He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
       ⁸ He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.
       ⁹ Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.
       ¹⁰ When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
       ¹¹ Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
       ¹² To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,
       ¹³ From those who leave the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
       ¹⁴ Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
       ¹⁵ Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths;
       ¹⁶ To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words,
       ¹⁷ Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God.
       ¹⁸ For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead;
       ¹⁹ None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life—
       ²⁰ So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness.
       ²¹ For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it;
       ²² But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.

Lord, grant me wisdom in all my ways and more of Your ways for me. May this life You've given me serve as delight to You and give You greater glory.

And Lord, You know what i lack in life, i pray as this year starts, direct my path and guide my every steps according to Your will Lord.

Thank You Lord Jesus for every breath i breathe. Thank You for the precious life.

And Lord, if rapture will take place today, RAPTURE ME AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND YOUR CHOSEN PEOPLE.

I love You Lord. The glory, honor, power belongs to You alone.
