Weekend of Surprises

Last weekend (10/1-2/11), went home with Jamiekai. It was the usual trip- 3 hours of sitting. But for me and jam it was more of snoozing and changing positions on the van seats.jajajajaj!!

My first surprise came the moment I arrived home. My Parents bought me this:

K43SV

Stay Cool with Metallic Chic

It was really a surprise!! My father was just laughing. "Surprise!"... I hugged my parents. I was praying and desiring for a new laptop, I could use not just in my work/Business but also on my open cell and close cell. #GodisFaithful

Until now, I just keep on staring at the laptop, it was new according to my parents, only a month old from it's previous owner. I am blessed...Just blessed..I made a promise to myself to take care of it because it's a show how my parents are so thoughtful. We were not raised for materialism, we grow up on the though of hard work before you earn something. But at the same time, not to over value everything because all things are temporal. Surprise number 1!!! I was already teary eyed...

2nd Surprise of the Weekend:

The second surprise is for my mother. She's been wanting this perfume for a long time:

My mother's birthday will be tomorrow but we celebrated it last Sunday after the Sunday Service. When my sister gave this to my mother- she was teary eyed. jajajajaja...She was the cutest person in the World that day...When I prayed for her and the food, I could not imagine life without her. Yes, without her, used by God, I would not be here. That night she was very happy not just because of the perfume but because she knew in her heart that after 55 years (yes my mother is already 55 tomorrow), she knows that what our family are doing is right for it is the will of God.

I won't be present on her birthday tomorrow, but I know I'm with her in Spirit. Last night, our family watched the movie "The Encounter." It's so good to be with my family, bonding, laughing and even crying. Lord, thank you for your grace, grace and grace. #Joshua24:15

3rd Surprise:

Ma Annes Bday!!!

jajajja...Mommy gave her a cake and Ate gave her perfume and a bracelet with "Mama Anne" as lettering.

Thank you for Mothers and Friends this weekend.

God is continually surprising me this week. I'm looking forward this week for more surprises.!!

Psalm 8:4

"What is man that you are mindful of him?"

WANT TO WALK ON WATER? STEP OUT OF YOUR BOAT!

Sometimes I get frustrated in discipleship. My frustrations might seem directed towards people but its actually the FEARS thats eating them alive. I am angry at that. I really want to send them back to where they belong. I mean the Fear ha? Not the person! But at the same time you feel very helpless to help the person. You can't help someone unless they want the help. In my reverie, I thought of one of my rhemas lately in prayer. It was Peter walking on water in Matthew14:27-31. As I dwell in the Word, I also felt what Peter was going through. Have you ever tried wanting to experience something soooooo amazing it requires something from you really crazy? I dont really know what Peter's intentions were when he decided to step out of the boat and walked on water. It might have sounded like a way for him to prove it was really Jesus walking on water. So he asked Jesus to call him out and Jesus said, "Yes, come." (But as for me in my curre...

Bring them back to Repentance? IMPOSSIBLE

This message in Hebrews 6:4 to 6, can be a warning to 3 people: Those who ‘turned away from God”; Those who have not ‘turned away from God and; Those who know people who “turned from God”. It stands as a warning to us. Have we heard God’s voice and trembled? I don’t mean fear that keeps us from coming to God, but the kind of fear that is spoken in Proverbs as “the foundation of wisdom.” We fondly pray that God would speak to us and hear His voice but do we really know what we are praying? It reminded me of the Israelites who were at the foot of Mount Sinai. When they heard God’s thunderous voice, they did not dare come nearer and asked Moses to speak in their behalf (Deuteronomy 5:23-27). To quote Francis Chan, “When you pick up your Bible, you are actually holding something better than a voice coming out of a cloud on the top of a mountain.” So this warning must really create a Holy fear in us that will keep us from turning away from God. It ...

Nothingness

The Tools God gave me to do His Work. My Guitar. Pre-Encounter Booklet. Manila Paper for the Copy of the Songs. Songbook. The Word of God. After a long ride from Davao to Kabacan (4pm and we were still in Matina), I went directly to one of my girls for our opencell/date/pre-enc. After two hours of sharing/talking/lesson, went home to prepare for the Sunday Service tomorrow and of course, to get some rest. I was alone. Erika and te Juvy is still having their pre-enc party. My sis and my father is asleep. My mother is still on duty. I am alone. One woman Team preparing for the Sunday Gathering tomorrow. As I was Musing/Practicing/Soaking/Praying/Meditating (I think I should change my title into slash!!jejeje), I received a text message from Nay Langga: "God will put you in a place of nothingness so that you'll have nothing to cling on except Hid love." I was struck by the message. Nothingness....I'm in a state of nothingness at that time. I was alone. And I felt nothing...
