Love is Patient

Love is patient

It is not bound by time.
Never limited by seconds, minutes and hours.
Time does not alter love for it is not an emotion or feelings that simply fade.
But instead a decision made.
Love does not decrease in passion over time instead it grows stronger and stronger, more potent each passing days, months and years.
Like wine (or stinky cheese) it gets sweeter (or stronger? ;- ) in time. So love learns to wait.
It thrills in the waiting season, confident in every turning that it will remain the same.
Love grows in the shade of time, does not diminish its luster but all the more grows brighter.
For real love unlike photographs does not fade.
Real love unlike the waves easily swayed.
Love remains.
It is enduring.
Like a rock among the crashing waves, it is immovable.

The only way that love be tested in its patience is in the waiting.
How it waits.
What it does as it waits.
For patience is not how long you wait but how you behaved in the waiting.
For we might wait a thousand years and not be patient yet we could have waited for only a few minutes as we stood in line and we grew more patient.
Patience is the 1st and foremost quality of love for it prepares the one who loves for the rest of its characters.
We will never be kind when we grow impatient.
We will be irritable.
We'll grow jealous.
We'll keep record of wrongs and we'll not endure and we'll easily lose hope and finally we give up.

Jesus is the perfect embodiment of love. He is patient with us. He thrills in waiting for you and as He waits, His love for you grows stronger and firmer in time. What are you waiting for?

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,
