"I'm Ready."


Genesis 37:

12-13 His brothers had gone off to Shechem where they were pasturing their father's flocks. Israel said to Joseph, "Your brothers are with flocks in Shechem. Come, I want to send you to them."

Joseph said, "I'm ready."


"I'm Ready"


...I was struck by Joseph's response. Joseph had a dream. He dreamed dreams. And Yes, they were "Crazy Dreams". So crazy that his brothers "hated him even more" and "hated him more than ever because of his dreams and the way he talked." Even his father "reprimanded him".

...But Joseph was ready. When his father sent him out to the fields to his brothers, he was going, unknowingly towards his crazy dream. It was the beginning of his Journey to his Crazy Dream.

... But what if Joseph's response was "No", where would he be?
- Maybe he would not have ended up on Egypt.
- Maybe he did not become Potiphar's assistant.
- Maybe if he wasn't tempted by Potiphar's wife and framed to jail, maybe he would not have met the baker and the cup bearer and interpreted their dream.
- Maybe, just maybe the Pharaoh would have not have known that there would be a 7 years of harvest and 7 years of famine so extreme.
- And maybe, there would be no Governor wise enough to save the whole country.

...I realized that sometimes, we may not know what the Lord wants us to do. Sometimes, the seemingly small things God wants us to do, are the things that lead us to our dreams even how crazy the are. God is so unfathomable, we could never imagine what God has in mind for us. Joseph was just Ready. He just said, "I'm Ready"..


So Are You Ready?

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,
