Looking at the Promise

You passed by and i saw what God promised me for so long. Like the Israelites and Moses, the Promised Land they have longed for forty years. As for me, 40 days (multiplied to the many times i prayed and fasted for you). You were the one described in 1 Corinthians 2:9 as the one my 'eyes have never seen, my ears have never heard and my mind have never imagined' as i continue to love Jesus. But am i like Moses? Doomed to just look at the Promised land on Pisgah peak but never to cross the Jordan? After the long and winding journey, many wanderings and years of waiting-will i ever get to cross to the other side? Or will i just look at You my Promise and be content with 'should-have-been-mine' notion for the rest of my life?

Ang Aking Dalawang Centimos Sa Miss Universe 2016 (My Two Cents on the Miss Universe 2016)

From Wikipedia: " My two cents " (" my 2¢ ") and its longer version " put my two cents in " is an  American   idiomatic  expression, [1]  taken from the original English idiom " to put in my two cents worth " or " my two-cents ." It is used to preface the tentative statement of one’s opinion. By deprecating the opinion to follow—suggesting its value is only two  cents , a very small amount—the user of the phrase hopes to lessen the impact of a possibly contentious statement, showing  politeness  and  humility . Sa kasalukuyang nangyari sa Pilipinas ngayong taon patungkol sa mga isyu sa Miss Universe, gusto ko sanang ibahagi ang aking "Isang Centimo para sa aking mga saloobin". (Due to the current event in the Philippines this year regarding the issue of Miss Universe, I want to give or share "a Cent for my Thoughts.") Una sa lahat, ako ay hindi naman talaga isang tagapaghanga ng kompetisyon na ito....

Dispensing God

When a person makes God dispensible, everything else will also be.  Money, fame, people and self.  Why?  Because if God doesnt fill that eternal gap, nothing will ever be.  The person who dispenses God will lose their morality.  Only the sense of eternity are we awakened to the truth that everything has a beginning and an end. Without the end in thought, we lose all morals and run wild doing what our raging human nature will incline us thinking it has no consequence.  No end.  A person who has eternity in mind will make God indispensable, knowing each breath is precious and live in awe and holy fear of a God that person knows will judge him or her when eternity begins.

Monsters and Reflections

Sometimes, we are the ones who made the worst monsters we wish we've never known. The very snake that we lovingly raised to bite us. The very best friend that is now your worst enemy. Or the Judas, after years of friendship, betrays us with a kiss and valued your friendship cheaply like they were 30 pieces of coins. The Peter we raised up so closely just to deny us not just three times. The very hand we used to hold and lead are now the hands that sinks deep, knives of lies and deciet on our backs. That we created the very rebels like David did with Absalom, our very own children, who will rise up and chase us away. I realized that I created them. The very nightmares I cry about every night.  Anger rises up inside you. You want to express that rage. You want to break the face of the one who used to make you smile but now just makes you cry. But as you lift up your fist to give that first blow, you stop and slowly lower your fist down. As you look into their eyes- the monsters, ...
