Write Thing at the Write Time

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,...

Discipleship. It's now part of my everyday life. It's not just about being under a leader, but most especially being under the Leader of Leaders- God. During my devotional last night and early this morning, I was constantly pruned and corrected by God. Humility. It was painful. Yes. Tearing and trembling in front of God and bowing down to Him in sweet surrender. I was having one of my "Jacob Prayers"- wrestling with God and not letting Him go until He blesses me. And yes, just like Jacob, God also touched a part of me that hurt. Right now, it is my heart. And just like Jacobs limp, I want that limp. I want that change. Last night, I have many realizations. That God uses people around you- your Leader, sisters and brothers and family in pruning every part of you that need to be removed. "Silver must be purified before it can be used to make something of value. "Prov. 25:4 That being corrected, rebuked and pruned because it's the way the Lord loves me. He ...

"Useless!" "Walang Kwenta!" "After 1 year wala ka man lang natulong sa kanila!" "You're nothing!" "Dependent" "Pabigat!" "Di ka man lang mahiya?" Revelation 12: "9 This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels." Lies. All of this are lies from the Enemy I've been hearing whole day. But it took all of my strength until it brought me to tears. Financially, I was not able to contribute to my parents even I was working for almost 1 year... And now, the conference is coming and I could not even contribute a single cent. For the tickets, accommodation and maybe even for our allowance in Manila, it will be provided by my Parents. And the enemy found it as an opening for his lies. "Di ka man lang nahiya?" ...that was the constant lie today. "Mahiya ka naman! Di ka na nga nakakabigay ng pera...

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 temp...

" 1 Abram was ninety-nine years old when the LORD appeared to him again and said, "I am God All-Powerful. If you obey me and always do right, 2 I will keep my solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted." 3 Abram bowed with his face to the ground, and God said: 4-5 I promise that you will be the father of many nations. That's why I now change your name from Abram to Abraham. [ a ] 6 I will give you a lot of descendants, and in the future they will become great nations. Some of them will even be kings. 7 I will always keep the promise I have made to you and your descendants, because I am your God and their God." Genesis 17:1-7 "Magpaubos" or be humbled down. My constant message to me last Sunday and Monday. As I was reading my Devotional, I saw how Abraham responded to God's Promise by kneeling and bowing face down. It's an illustration that when we come to God in prayer, we should come with humility or humbled d...

"10 I am the LORD All-Powerful, and I challenge you to put me to the test. Bring the entire ten percent into the storehouse, so there will be food in my house. Then I will open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing." -Malachi 3:10 (Devotional: Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011) --- Last Wed, we (Me, Ate Bam and Momi) received an amazing surprise #GodofSurprises. My Sis and mother went to Abreeza mall to kill some time while waiting fro my aunt from Panabo to arrive. While walking and roaming at the mall, they came by the Robinsons Supermarket to watch the demo of the electric stove. My mom and I have been dreaming for this kind of stove for a long, long , long time. I think I was still in highschool when I got into cooking while watching my mother and father. If we could have a dream house, it would probably have a large kitchen.Jajajja..While my mother was watching the demo, she was interviewed by the staff and found out that she's from Kabacan. And you k...

God is Calling Today, the calling is so compelling, it overwhelms me to the brim. I am not worried, for once you promised me that, " For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11. There was that peace. God, today your telling me, 'It's Time', You gave me "Why" and you gave me "How". But I kept on waiting "When"will it be. Finally, it's "Now". God, I am crying out to you. You see my heart. See what is inside of my heart. Dig deep until you find you. Today, my plans will be Your plans. My desires are your desires. My wants is what you want. And my will be Your will be done. "Amos (Lec-lec), take your visions and get out! Go back to Judah (Kabacan) and earn your living there as a prophet. 13 Don't do any more preaching at Bethel (Davao). " 14 I answered: I'm not a prophet! And I wasn't t...

A Teaser trailer from Tyndale for their Life Recovery Bible... Reality. It depicted how life seemed to be consumed by work, alcohol, drugs and even adultery.. " 12 What God has said isn't only alive and active! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts." Hebrews 4:12 watch on tyndale.com

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...

At long last, after almost 2 weeks I finally written my message for Te Rej and finally gave the notebook...I bought this notebook from a bookstore(I won't tell where!jejeje) and from the moment I saw the notebook- Paris Themed and with the Eiffel Tower Print, the 1st person(s) that came into my mind was my Mama Weng and Te Rej (weee!They are so remarkable to me!!). Both of them Love Paris and dreamed of going and visiting the Tower. Weee!!I, too, dream of going, written in my Book of dreams. Speechless...I was speechless even through the message I wrote at the back of the notebook. The lives of these 2 beautiful women in my Life, how God used them powerful, how they corrected, guided and loved me makes me speechless and at the same time filled with words of affirmation and appreciation and gratefulness... Thank you Te Rej and Mama... "If only you knew how Proud I am of You! I am overwhelmed with Joy despite all our troubles." 2Cor. 7:4 (The MSG) Thank you to my Le...
