Waiting...

I'm in a waiting status now...

> waiting for God's answers...
> waiting for directions...
> waiting... *sigh*

I could still remember a message from a friend saying,

"The hardest part of faith is waiting...and the hardest part of waiting is the last half hour."

Some how true, if i'll use my present condition as a basis.

Sadly, there are times that waiting steals my joy. :'(





But I always want to keep in mind that...

"Waiting is not passive but always active."


Please help me Lord to patiently wait for you...

Greater Things for the Philippines

Year 2009, What's in store for our country? No one knows...

I just wanna share these data I got from the news.

> For every 10 Filipinos, 7 say there is still hope in the Philippines.
> 54% says they would still choose to stay in our country even if they'll get the chance to migrate abroad.
> Sociologists say that our faith in God plays an important part for the country's progress.

I believe that God won't allow us to pray hard for something over a long period of time if He's not determined to answer it. I encourage those who faithfully prays for our country. God hears our prayers. Let's just remain faithful.

I love this song which a co-worker shared to me...




God of This City
Chris Tomlin

You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of these nation
You are

You're the light in this darkness
You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things
Have yet to come
And greater things
Are still to be done in this city

For greater things
Have yet to come
And greater things
Are still to be done here

God can do great and miraculous things in our nation! Let's believe!

Last Dance for 2008

To God be the glory!!!!

I'm a BUM!

I resigned from my previous work last August 2008. I have to undergo a minor operation during that time so I need to stop working. Since then, I'm staying at home. I'm not employed until now.

I could say...


I am a BUM! :_(


but then I choose to say...



Thank God I'm a B.U.M.!

B-eing
U-sed by God
M-ightily


I may not be employed but I can't say that I'm totally unproductive. In fact, God is giving so many tasks to me... some are too big and I just can't contain it. (Thank you Lord for trusting me!)

I just learned that being productive is not merely based on where you are or how much money you earn.

Being productive is always a choice! :)

Help me Lord to just trust Your promises... that You are the One who holds my future. Let me just accomplish the tasks You have given me. Prepare me for future assignments and may You always find me faithful no matter how small or big that task may be. :)

Press on Toward the Goal!

God has been so faithful to me, to the entire ministry. I want to thank Him for allowing us to be part of a bigger assignment all for His greater glory. :)

We joined a dance competition last November 29, Saturday (that was already the grand finals) at Folk Arts Theater, organized by Philippine Bible Society. That was not a mere dance competition but it's one way to promote the use of Bible using our craft - dancing. God paved the way for the team to be the champion. Truly, He answers sincere prayers.

We joined not because we want fame, not for the prize, but for one reason... to give glory to the Highest God! We want souls who will accept God. I could still remember how hard we prayed before we danced. That was really unforgettable! Our reward was God Himself.

Below is the video of the actual dance -- "B'lib ako sa Biblia ko!" (courtesy of Kua Firmo..thanks to you!)



But then, I don't want to dwell on past victories and will strain toward what is ahead... look forward to more assignments from God. Since this victory belongs to God, all the glory belongs to Him as well!

"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14

My Last Day, My Last Words...

This is my last day...



...as a 21 year old-lady. Tomorrow, i'm turning 22. hehehe!



My last words...



...God has been so faithful to me for 21 years and I'm looking forward to experience more of His love and mercy for another year.



I plan to end my 21st year by offering God praise and worship through a dance. After my operation (excision on the right breast due to breast mass), 'di na ko nakasayaw ulit...almost 2 and 1/2 months din yun. And this time, I want to make it really special. :D

Thank you so much Lord! I love You so much! Here's my song for you.

Thank You

My Prayer...

Banal Mong Tahanan

Ang puso ko'y dinudulog Sa'yo
Nagpapakumbaba, nagsusumamo
Paging dapatin Mo'ng Ikaw ay mamasdan
Makaniig Ka at Sa'yo ay pumisan

Koro:
Loobin Mo'ng ang buhay ko'y maging
Banal Mong tahanan
Luklukan ng Iyong wagas na pagsinta
Daluyan ng walang hanggang mga
papuri't pagsamba
Maghari Ka, O Diyos
Ngayon at kaylanman
