Arise, o children of the Most High God
Return to your Savior
The time is coming
Everything is at hand

Release every oppressed
From bondage of sin be thou freed
Entertain not thy bad feelings
And to the Word of God thou shall clings

I am a  woman brought with a mission
Though unworthy, unclean in all my action
I am only asking my precious Savior
To extend His love and compassion

Who amongst us never sin?
Who can say "i am perfect therein?"
None i suppose, none but only One
Jesus, clean, pure and holy.


To God be the glory.

Singing for God's Glory

Oh i love to sing for the glory of God.

I love to shout God's love and grace in a song.

Being part of the music team in our church, gave me happiness and joy.

This is one of my ministry....my service to the Living God and my Creator.

I love to share God's faithfulness in the dance.

I love to proclaim His might in all His creatures.

God is worthy of all our praise and adoration.

To God be the glory forever and ever.

God be magnified.

1	How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2	My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:          my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3	Yea, the sparrow hath found a house,          and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4	Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:          they will be still praising thee.Selah.
5	Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;          in whose heart are the ways of them.

Monsoon Rain that Brings Flood

Days will give us bright sun and some just rain...heavy rainfall.

It's here in the Philippines again.

It leaves people run for life...for food...for shelter...and some...SHOULDER to cry on.

This are days of trials...of suffering...of fear...of questions.

But this are also days of strength - endurance to overcome.

My husband and i wade in the flood for 8hrs in my Olongapo City. The motor his been driving got drowned in the water, unable to start the engine...we just leave it somewhere down that flooded road and went back the other day to check on it.

The current that day is scary.

But the Word of God brings HOPE and COURAGE.

He let us walk in the water and all throughout protected us.

God is good...ALL THE TIME.

I pray for strength for filipino people during these times of trials - for STRONGER FAITH and for more of JESUS in our lives.

Here's some of our photos of the flood taken by my husband:

Olongapo CIty Market 8-7-2012 Morning

Olongapo City Monument 8-7-2012 Morning

Amapola St. - noon time

our motorcycle 8-7-2012 8:30am...why there's motor oil? We're supposed to deliver it at 7am

Olongapo City 8-7-2012 showing the banks and some establisments

those trucks came back..not to get sands but people wading in the flood

people wading in the flood early morning probably going to work

a coconut of hope..when we came back to check on our motorcycle, we found this beside it...brought it home and remember one day in our life, we found it sitting peacefully, alive, near our heart

husband trying to save the motorcycle...for an hour it wont start..but praise God its able now

Together Again

The joy of a wife is to be with her husband. The joy of a husband is to see her wife everyday of his life.

For us, that defines JOY...being TOGETHER and never apart.

For how long, we don't know. But we trust in the Lord in everything. We don't hold the world, Jesus has it in His hands.

It took longer than expected to be back in each others arms again but the joy of embracing our dreams being together is without an end.

I thank God for a husband who cares and who works as a good man working for his family.

I thank God for a year of strength and courage and comfort and patience He gave us.

I thank the Lord for the fulfillment of His promises. There's nothing too hard for Him and we testify on that.

"Together Again"...a song my mom and dad usually picked on our karaoke moments.

Sweet.

Praise the Lord.

IF I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY 

AND CAN FATHOM ALL

                      MYSTERIES AND ALL KNOWLEDGE, 

AND IF I HAVE A FAITH  

THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, 

BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM  NOTHING."                       

1 CORINTHIANS 13:2 

Search me o Lord

Lord, search me
My heart and mind
Come and make me realized
Life is not for me to hold
But Yours to mold.

Lord, search me
When sun won't shine
When days are blue and skies cry
When hope can only be found
In You.

Lord, search me
Night and day
Consoles my soul
Bring out in me potentials
To be able to overcome trials.

Lord, search me
Do not give up on me
Lord search my soul
Let Your Holy Spirit
Takes control.

Broken and Happy

Many times in my life, i always feels good about everything. But there's just some part of that "everything" that somehow shows me realities in life....that sadness will always be part of it.

Seems like yesterday when i first started writing and reading. And now reading and writing added stress to me. It's not as fun as before. Its not as inspiring. It's not as cool.

Why?

Because some time in my life i felt broken...i felt something emptied within me....something is missing.

Those are the times when i wanted to write but emotions won't let me. Because i know i won't be a blessing if i say something out of my emotion that will just ruin a day...my day.

But life goes on. Life will always be beautiful regardless.

I am broken...but happy. Because i believe someone's in total control of my life. It's that HAND that i know i will be safe and guided accordingly. The ARMS that will always embrace me and tells me everything will be alright. That WINGS that will fly me away from past pains and discouragements and bring me to a life of purpose..where happiness is waiting.

I am broken and happy.

Glad to have Jesus in my life. Everything's smooth and wonderful!

A thought for today

This is a message I've read from one of my friends in Facebook.

It says,

"
‎..You cannot lift up HIS name if His Glory cannot be seen in you......:-)"

The message is sooooo true....as for me.

This made me meditate and reflect on the Word.

Thanks brother Alberto for this :)
