Blogging: A bloggers thoughts

Blogging... I've been a blogger now for almost two years. It's the same years when I finally got to know Jesus. And as I look back in my blog it was sort of a chronicle of my Christian walk. I kind of taken it for granted lately.. tsk2x... No updates and no more write ups. It's not that I don't have anything to write about. Actually, I just have a lot in my mind to write about. Busy days. So I'm gonna write something a bit informal...What's on my mind?

"Glamorized sin and Sweetening the Enemy"
I have my mistakes. And one of it is not just 'glimpsing' but even watching movies that promote this kind of mentality or should I say 'poison'. Sure, they look harmless but as I pray about it God revealed something to me: Satan is not the ugly, gruesome picture we used to see in the Bible. But usually he's almost every character in shows we see in our televisions and in the internet. My example would be this show:
The new look for Beauty and the Beast. When you hear the word 'beast', what comes up to your mind? Before it might be the hairy, big toothed and ugly savage like the old classic cartoon in Disney. But here, they portrayed him as a hunky, hot (really hot!), handsome and even gentle and capable of loving someone, no trace of hairiness (except those handsome facial hair) and big tooth. He's just a monster or turns into the beast when he loses self-control. Weew..

And this was God's revelation to me: Today, sin is not shown as the main reason of our eternal separation or the consuming emptiness of sin but it is portrayed as 'good, sweet, liberating or glamorized sin'. Let's say I made the wrong decision of watching this show and even following it. As a Christian and a Set-apart woman I should not dabble in darkness and yes this show promotes that. It promotes secrecy (a hunky guy stalking you since you were young is ok since he is hot), their lovestory seemed romantic and exciting...but here's the catch; all is in secret. Tsk2x..
Proverbs 20: 17: "
17 Stolen bread tastes sweet,
    but it turns to gravel in the mouth."
Everything done is secret is not going to last. Yeah it might taste sweet at first but in the end it's just useless and even pointless. And the sad thin about this? I don't just see it in this show but I see it here, in the university, in my friends life and even in my own life before I got to know Christ. It's not just this show. Movies that portray evil as a Sparkling, handsome and caring vampire. The last time I saw the show I was shocked that the story started to be "heating up" if you know what I mean. So I stopped watching. I don't want to compromise any more and the truth is, I should not have watched it. Tsk2x I'm really regretting it now...

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,
