A.R.K.- Act Of Random Kindness

"A.R.K- Act of Random Kindness"- "Evan Almighty"

Last Friday, the sky seemed to pour out a lot of water and Davao City was once again flooded. The water in front of our office is knee deep. Hay! It was already past 5pm and I have to pick up one of my Spiritual Sisters for the YR: "Justice League" at PISD. As I was looking at the rain and I kept on telling my self that I have to go for I'll be late, my Boss suddenly became my Ark. He took off his shoes, socks and folded his pants. Then he said, "Dali, sakay ka sa likod ko." He piggybacked me so that i could just cross the other side. Yes, my boss- my Supervisor, the head of my department just asked me to ride his back. weeew....He became my ARK (act of random kindness) that day for me to cross the flood.

Am I being sentimental? Maybe a little. I would just like to give honor to one who deserves. My boss? He was my "sharpener", especially at work. He is also a Christian. Among his trainees, I was the only one who was left. And all I can say, they all missed out the opportunity to be trained by him. If I had a discipler in church, I also had here at work. Yes, he constantly corrects me and even rebukes me.

"7Be patient when you are being corrected! This is how God treats his children. Don't all parents correct their children?" Heb12:7

"11It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always painful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace."Heb12:11

Yes...I can attest to this. From my trainee to my proby days, I am changed. There are a lot of attitudes that really have to be changed, habits need to be pruned and even my character was built in loving one's work.

I'm just very blessed and I think my boss is also blessed. When I asked for permission for my resignation, he gave me his blessing and prayed for me. He is also excited for me on my next work- building a church in Kabacan. He is also excited to visit someday.

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,
