Think Positive!!!

Think positive…

It happened this morning, while I was eating my breakfast (mulling over if I will eat a hot dog or just fried eggs..hmmm..) when a co-worker of mine said something that kind made my day…

Co-worker: San na si Joevel? Matagal na syang absent ah..Baka di na yun magbalik? (Where’s Joevel? He’s been absent for a while now..Maybe he won’t return anymore?)

Lec: Hindi po, babalik pa yun. May sakit lang. (No, he’ll be coming back. He’s just sick.)

Co-worker: Positive ka ah..(You’re positive, aren’t you?)

-Deep inside I’m happy.. I’m no longer the person I used to be.. I used to be so negative. It was the first time someone told me I’m positive. Lord, it’s because of you!!!(I had my devotional).. You told me not to worry..

“Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Luke 12:22-25

Then I added the hot dog I was mulling over.

The day went by and I realized I left my cellphones back in the apartment. Not 1 but 2 of them w/c is really important with my work. Not to worry..All is well.. My sister would be bringing the phones and we would meet at the Mall. Since I have an appointment by 10 am with one of my customers I’m still wooing..All is well.

@ the Mall: It’s 10:30am and my sisters out of sight. I don’t have no idea where my sister is and I can’t reach her since two of my phones is with her. Pakapalan ng mukha (Guts!), I asked a total stranger if I could use his phone to text my sis. Weew..I even asked someone if I could call her..Double Weew..Voices was a bit higher as I spoke with my sis on the phone, in the end I just have to wait for her at the van terminal. Another 20 mins of waiting, I just prayed to God to give me patience with her and with me, and God reminded me of the verse in Galatians 5:22:

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

I was begging the Lord for the peace, long suffering and self-control fruits…and the peace came first..Thank God..I felt peaceful waiting knowing she’ll come and even though I’m late for my appointment, I know my customers will understand. Then patience and self-control not to be irritated with her and understand her. Amen…!!When she finally came, she was about to start an argument and all I said was “It’s ok, don’t think about it.”..Then I kissed her goodbye for her trip home.

Later, I texted her and asked for forgiveness. Ever since I gave my heart to God, He gave me a repentant heart, never leave a sin that is unrepented.

Think positive..I went to my customer and you know what I got? Another invitation to return nextweek.wee!!I love it..and I got a muffin as a sample of their product!YUM!!

Think Positive…

” Keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly and proper. Don’t ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.” Phil. 4:8

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,
