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?"

(Thanks to Jam! Love you Sis!)

Blogging again!

I miss blogging! So after nights of sipping on my coffee and thinking (and also looking at the stack of paper of all my preaching notes) I've decided to blog them. :D Since becoming a pastor 3 years ago, I would prepare for my sermons or preaching every week. It doesn't include the time I would also prepare for my G12 cell group with my core leaders and opencell life groups we conduct. I also have notes for every class I conduct on our Post-encounter, School of Leaders 1 and 2. So yes, if material is the question, no doubt I have plenty of those. Then I also though of what I am passionate about. It was always been this- reading, writing and speaking. It's also a way to keep my leaders updated of all that's happening to the church here in Kabacan; where the Spirit of God is leading us and what are some of the issues that needs to be addressed as it also resonates in the emphasis of each preaching I share. If you happen to read one of my blog posts feel free to co...

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 ...

“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,...
