Guard your Heart

image

Lately (Just last weekend) I was reminded (Very Much!) of Guarding my Heart. The Enemy may not have me anymore- I’m already dead from Sin when Christ Died for me on the Cross. But He can still instill thoughts and emotions in my Heart. Especially with the Opposite Sex. Hay…It’s one of the things I’ve surrendered to God during my Encounter and I was again reminded with my commitment that I made 5 months ago(Wah!I’m only 5 months with the Lord and His Grace is soooo Sufficient) as I joined another God Encounter (This time I’m one of The Spiritual Guides). What a Reminder!!We were singing

“While I’m Waiting” by John Waller:

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve you while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

I’m waiting

I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve you while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

- I was struck by those lines…“I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience”. Yes Obedience on God and my Leader. Once Again- Even if My Leader was not present, I renewed my vow to God to

1. Protect my Heart,

2. My Emotions be disciplined

3. My Body be controlled

What a day!!The commitment was supposed to be for my Disciple-Nak Zend but how can I help her disciple her Heart if I myself is not Guarded? So I must give what I have..

Then the day was eventful once more, I was tested! Just a few minutes after renewing my vows to God, here comes the testing..jajajaja!!But the testing came with a “Cute-Smiling-Spirit-Empowered-Guy-Leader” package. So it was ok. Jajajaja..and it happened in front of my Disciple!!Yay!!to set an example for her!!

She was laughing her head off after the “Testing”..She said: “Nay, halata ka masyado!” (Ma, you are so obvious!) jajaja…But I kept myself composed! no more distractions..

Reminded myself that I have to keep myself composed and controlled and most especially TRANSPARENT! Especially to my Leader and to God. If there’s nothing hidden, the enemy could not use anything against you. That night, I told my Discipler-Ma Weng of the “Testing” and she was laughing to- she was super “Kilig” but in the end she kept reminding me to Guard My Heart.

We know Our Priorities- “Win the Lost and Make Disciples”,

and Kabacan Community Center is just pushing through with my Parents as the Church there, I still have to Win many girls, Consolidate them and Disciple them so for them to be also sent. I also have my work. The list goes on especially the part that I’m still a Working progress- I still have to change(I think it will never end!Can’t wait for a new Me everyday!). I want that my “HoneyBunch” will not be disappointed with me- I will be a Warrior, A Pastor and Spirit-empowered Leader with my Doce and 144 when we finally meet. jejeje…I’m also praying for him- wherever he is, Who and what he is doing- I’m praying that He would stand firm, Sold out for God and willing to change for God.

And I’m also praying He’s Guarding His Heart

To God Be the Glory- My Testimonial During the Youth Reload last Friday- May 13, 2011 was a night filled with music, dance, laughter and even tears for the One and Only Star in our Lives- God. BCC was once again filled with so many young people, there are lots of “VIPs” and also the “Many Timers”- I’m one of them. I’ve been coming to BCC for almost 2 months now. After my Encounter, my passion to go through these events increased and going to BCC is already part of my Weekly schedule. But that night was different. Our Network-Eagurlz and the Arios Knights were the sponsors for the YR’s program. It was different because I was not just there to watch but to be watched. We were called “Las Chicas Agilas” and we danced Stacie Orrico’s “I could be the one”. But before the dance, there was one part were someone wil

Tula sa Nangungulila

Missing someone(s) right now. So I'll write right now. Di mo man ako pansinin, Ibaliwala ang pagsuyo at pagtingin, Basta huwag mo laging kalimutan, Ikaw ay nasa aking mga panalangin. Di kita tatantanan o bibitawan, Makita ko lang ang inaasam na pagbabago. Mawala na ang inyong lumang pagkatao, At maghari ang Buhay ni Kristo! Ngayong araw, ikaw ay nasa aking mga dasal, Alam mo man o Hindi, Ako'y nananabik para sa iyo. Hanggang sa makita kang muli. Sa aking harap at sa iyong tabi. English Translation: You might not notice me now, Don't mind my persuasion and affection. Just don't always forget, You are always in my prayers. I will not leave you alone or let you go, Until I finally see the change for you I've longed for. That your old you be gone, And see the life of Christ in you! Today, You are in my prayers, You might know or not, I am longing for you, Until I finally see you again. Face to face and by your side.

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,
