I maybe the pen

Image
I’m still wondering until now what is your purpose I’m searching for answers why an unconventional chap like you would make me question what is in my heart You are an unsolved puzzle A mystery I tried to unravel But your peculiarity keeps me attracted more and more to you Every awkward move and smile makes me beam and keeps me inspired What a lovely creation so different from the rest and yet so distinctly great I have a purpose to inspire you to bring out the best in you Isn’t that the usual thing I do? But deep inside you there is more that I would like to explore This is unfamiliar ground for me but somehow I am willing because for some reason I am guided He is still leading me to you and for this season I will yield, yet I will wait For now no matter how quizzed I appreciate the spontaneity How things are being led to another Yet I will only let one person write My greates...

Reese Moment

Image
Yesterday, Sunday, I had a Reese moment. I’m sure most of you are familiar with this very common peanut chocolate bar. My friend and I met in galleria so I can hear the Word and also relax my mind and my soul with God’s Word. She was talking about how she longed for this candy bar two days back. That for some reason, even if this chocolate bar was never her favorite she craved for it. She thought about it night and day because her mouth waters whenever she opens her refrigerator and sees the orange candy wrapper opposite the white background of her refrigerator. She even got up one night and wonder who owns it because she wants to get a bite if it. Finally, her dorm mate offered it to her and she got her most desired piece after two days of longing. Her dorm mate pitied her that they offered to buy her packs of Reese if she still craves for it. Well, she doesn’t need to go into that because after her bite, yes she was satisfied but it was less than extraordinary. It was so ordinary...

My Assignment Requires Seasons of Waiting

Image
I love books! I just finished Mike Murdock's Assignment Volume One. I have been cherishing it morsel by morsel because I am rediscovering myself each time. The greatest lesson I want to carry with me is all about Waiting and the assignment being Geographical. Yes - My Assignment Requires Seasons of Waiting! I will summarize the major points of Mike on this entry and as I write them down, it never fails to remind me over and over the value of waiting. I am still waiting for God's promises to come into my life. I am waiting and I know that it is not in vain because here are my rewards in waiting.... 1. Waiting reveals patience (Hebrews 11:1) 2. Waiting is not wasted time (James 1:4) 3. Waiting guarantees favorable results (Lamentations 3:25 , 26) 4. Waiting is learning time (Psalm 144:1) - Flesh reacts on waiting because it wants action. But waiting forces the flesh to die. 5. Waiting will reveal the true motives and intentions of those around you - Wise men never rely on intui...

How I met the Lover of my Soul

Image
Sixteen years ago, I see life as a huge play act. Everyone has their own role and I have a big role to play because I always find myself at the center of the play. I was afraid to commit a mistake because I feel like I will ruin the play. I was not an addict, I have no family problems, in fact my parents and siblings are the most loving creatures on earth. But back then, I was LONELY. At 15 years old, I was insecure like most teenage girls are. I was at the top of my class, I have different admirers and people seem to like me everywhere I go. I would organize parties as a student council head and want to see my friends and my school having fun. But at the end of the day, inside my room, I would cry. I still remember the very words I asked God, “I want to be happy”. At that time, God must have heard my sincere though brief prayer. The camp which ran for 5 days washed my selfishness, my thoughts about life. I stopped cursing for 5 days and after the camp, going back to campus, I was ...

A Woman of Noble Character…………….

Image
Here are some of my thoughts on Proverbs 31 about the Woman of Noble Character..... Speaks up on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves V.8-9 8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. 9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice Is dependable, reliable v.11 1 1 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life . Brings good and not harm to her family/ household v.12 1 2 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life . Loves hard work v. 13-17 1 3 She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. 1 4 She is like a merchant̢۪s ship, brin ging her food from afar. 1 5 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day̢۪s work for her servant girls. 1 6 She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she pl...

You are a leader!

Image
I was amazed how my friend Kiko has risen up and established KC in Baguio. If you are reading this my friend then just let me honor you this way. Kiko was discipled by my bro Jehu and he was an average guy back in fort. We used to hang out a lot 2 years back because of the same circle of friends. His cell leader Stuart and my cell leader then, Rose are VLI classmates. Back then, he hasn’t really taken the role of leadership because he is still kindda hesitant. Looking at him , now in Baguio, after establishing four group leaders and teams for Kid’s Church, and taking the pattern of KC Fort to Baguio, he has done a marvelous job of stepping up to the need and rising up to the occasion. He has raised young, vibrant leaders and looking at them and interacting with them is like speaking to the same people back in gale and fort. It’s the same genes, same spirit, same values- I am amazed! I was telling Kiko hours before going back to Manila that “Discipleship is really the key”. Once you are...
