we have visited kuya marlon

monz, ems, me, bing, bobs

We always value the brother/sister-hood that God has established for us in our ministry in Guinobatan. That's why when we were thinking about having an outreach program, God implies that we have to start with each of our families. We cannot give what we don't have. So the idea of visiting the brother of our beloved sis bing was just perfect!

We know GOd is not through with kuya marlon yet. We believe that there is still hope for everybody. Moses was once a murderer, but God chose Him to be his friend. Paul was a former persecutor of christians, but God gave him the chance to be among the most influential messenger of the good news... anyone of us has the chance to be used by God mightily.. Let us not ignore the opportunities..

how did I spend christmas day?

Mt. kawa kawa
Ligao City
Bicol (Albay)

I was so happy to spend that special day with my family. My dad, jake (my brother), ate ai (my step mom), josh (step bro), jasmin (step sis), lola (mom of ate ai), biget and mosang (sisters of ate ai), laizel.. maye and joseph (my bro and sis in faith) were also with us. Before we headed to bed, we've watched some DVDs.. kuya called but i regret that ive missed it since i was out for a while when the phone rang.

About 10 am, ems arrived in our house. We went to kawa kawa and it was wonderful. It was my first time there.. kuya called again and finally, ive managed to answer... however i have not brought the charger so it was not a pretty long talk, and it was raining that time so i wasn't able to understand everything that he was saying, i almost thought that he was speaking a foreign language then haha. I miss him. Anyway, one year from now, he'll be with us.. looking forward to that.

When we were hiking, the sun was just hiding behing the clouds so there were no burns at all (sa skin hehe).. Thank God for giving us the shed until we finally reach the peek of the mountain. Amazingly, the clouds finally fell when we stepped inside former governor Gonzales' rest house. His assistants were so friendly that we have known a lot of trivias about the place:

1. The area inside the so called "kawa kawa" is 6 hectares
2. There is an area on a mountain nearby that is being developed as a mini forest
3. A cable car will be set up some time in 2009
   
4. With about 20,000 people (last dinurado fest) in kawa kawa, there will be more spaces for thousands of people yet
5. Ex-Governor Gonzales always go there to rest (amazing endurance indeed)
6. The circumference of the kawakawa is almost 1 kilometer
7. there will be a fireworks display on jan 4 at 7pm
8. watch out for more developments! (haha....very friendly assistants indeed)

Christmas Gift Giving...

It was one of the programs that God has allowed us to spearhead this christmas. There were 3 teams and ours was assigned to Joey's family. It was such a blessed day and we enjoyed it. We've met his family and we are happy to had such an experience.

GOd did it again...

God is so faithful..wheew.. sometimes i just get shocked with what He was able to do with my life. Glory to Him indeed..

Last week

Last week my dad and step mom were not doing ok because of my dad's some immature character. Dad went to manila and mama ai take the kids home to tabacco. I and my brother jake were left at home. I was kinda confused because i felt the burden of getting in the middle. I needed to do something, that was what i recurrently admit to myself. I have that responsibility.

Apparently, that problem needed not to draw me against my responsibility in the ministry. That's even if something is wrong in our home, i needed to attend practice and meetings. I just know that time that i have surrendered it to God. He is more important anyway and i have a big faith in Him, i kept on holding on with His promises in Mark 10.

After two days, i went home. While in the 30-minute travel, i was asking God how will i start with the conversation that i had to make with my dad regarding that problem. I was a bit confused until i entered the house. I thought im gonna find the place empty but i was astounded when i saw the kids and my step mom. They' re back. I was so happy. But i still talked to my dad to ensure and clear things out.

God is so great! He remains faithful if we will just keep on obeying Him.


THIS WEEK

I lost a client about a month ago. The figures in my savings accounts are getting smaller each day. Apparently, im in trouble. My paypal account just have $50 last sunday and that would be all i've got next week. Yet, i still had that confidence that God will never leave nor forsake me.

I was developing the site of our church and our charity organization and God made me realize that these sites will be great or evangelism. I needed to make it more capable for such advantage so ive thought of updating both. Ive bought the domains right then. I told God, no matter what happens, "i wont be rude to You because i know that that $50 is just nothing to what You have already gave me.." Before i slept, i only got $20 left in my paypal and not that big amount in my cards.

Next morning, my balance counted $25. It was from reviewme. Wow, though it was just a small amount. I know, God wants to make me smile. Once again, i didn't have the fear about having no work at all. He will give it to me when i need it.

Last night, i was still invigorated to maintain the sites. I have made them look great. I slept at 2am and woke up at 8am. As i checked my mails, i found a notice from a client, which is a friend of my previous client. I was recommended to work with the new one.
NOW


Ive just had the interview and ill be starting tomorrow with the articles and recording again. Praise God indeed. His grace is always enough and sufficient.

The two sites i've been recently developing (all for Him):

Keep on searching, until you find me..

This command recurrently runs in my mind even now. I decided to rest my palm on my laptop again and let my heart be controlled by God as I point down the touch pad and type in the letters on the board. I don’t really know what to write down, but God does.

It’s 30 minutes before the clock hits 1am and I don’t feel sleepy at all. I don’t know, I am just into this pursuit to know what God wants me to do. This is not a waste of time at all. I know, His plans are better than mine. His ways are greater than mine.



WHY THROUGH WRITING?

I ask this to Him. His answer? “why not?”

God is so amazing that He has made me a writer. Way back in highschool, I thought I wouldn’t be in our school publication since I had that “English carabao” then. I have taken the qualification exam twice and failed twice as well. Praise God for He has still given me the chance to be the managing editor of our other publication, which is the one using Filipino language as the medium. Apparently, they don’t think that I can be a good English writer then. Too bad haha.

Nonetheless, God was so amazing that He has brought me to a better venue to discover His gifts to me. He has given me the gift in writing though I was not that sure of my own ability. He has brought me to a regional press conference just before I graduated highschool. But that was still under the Filipino publication. Even so, it was a smooth start, and I bet, God handled me for a warm up right then. He was preparing me for something grander.

Before I entered college, I told myself, I should be in the English publication of our university. I tried hard. Had self study, and had myself equipped with good grammar and excellent understanding of the parts and figures of speech and more.

It took a lot of guts to take the exam. But who would’ve thought, I placed second in the exam, considering that I was the youngest among the examiners. That was the start of all the great accomplishments in my writing career. I graduated college as the editor in chief of our college publication. Who would’ve thought that the aspiring writer in highschool who has got English that she alone understands would be the EIC of the best college, in the most prestigious university in the region? But….

All of these happened when I was not yet a Christian. It was when all credits were given to ME. When all that is good is ME. When all that is gifted is ME. In short, that was the time when my God is MYSELF.


THE EVIDENCES

As I browse my old diaries, I was talking all about me. All me, myself, I. I was so self centered. I almost worship myself. I was so amazed with my own accomplishments. I always give a tap my back everytime I please people. Noone was good, just me. Yeah, I always tried to be good to please people. I never thought of pleasing God at all. I asked myself then, “did I really write all these stuffs?”



I BELIEVE IN GOD.. that’s what I thought before

I had my own prerogatives. I don’t go to church. As I know that it isn’t necessary at all. I believe in God, as I tell other people. I know there’s a God. But the fact is, I just know He’s there while I almost don’t care where He is. It was like, everytime I remember Him, I am the one giving Him a favor. It was like, I am the one capable of giving Him gifts, which include a minute of signing of the cross and that’s all. Remember Cain and Abel. I was more like Cain before, who has just given the leftovers to God. This is because I was someone who prioritized myself and this world. I had focused on earthly things over God.


WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT, I’LL BE HERE..

I am sitting right here on a stool inside our in-house church, which God has built for his ministry in this place. I am sitting next to a beatbox, keyboard, and e-guitar, which are the instruments that God has allowed me to play. God has given me the talent in music and I believe, it is not my hand but His hands that play. He revealed it to me some weeks ago. The Big hand experience.

I never had any formal music lessons. But God is so mighty to prove that we don’t need the knowledge of this world to understand and receive His gifts. I also sing for God today. And that’s how rich God is. He is so rich that He can give us everything that we can have.


GOD IS INDEED RICH

Months ago, our family business was bankrupt. It was awful. We eat dried fish in breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And before we have coped up from that situation, my mom passed away. Everything then was a nightmare. But God is good.

God gave us the chance. He helped me realize that those things happen for His purpose. And I started accepting that He knows best.

Today, I am earning more or less $450 a month, while working 3-4 hrs a day. I am also receiving monthly allowance from my brother who’s in Saudi right now. God is so rich that He is providing me almost 45,000 PHp a month. Yet, God tells me that I have to be a good steward. All these things are part of the test. Yes, I believe, if we would be good steward on earth, then we will be good steward in heaven. So all the riches that God has given me are all parts of the test.

I AM SO BLESSED, SO DO YOU

God made us all blessed. He is never partial. His way is the greatest. Whatever that we have right now, we must believe that God has the perfect plan out of it. All we need is to have faith in Him.

Remember the rod walker over the falls? He has bridged over the falls just through a firm rod many times. People BELIEVE that he can do it over and over again, and he will never fall. However, when those people who believe in his ability were asked if they can ride on the walker’s back as he crosses the rod, noone wanted to do so. So what does this mean? Believing is not enough!

Believing is agreeing with what our mind says. What we need therefore is FAITH. It is not enough to believe as what we need is FAITH. We need to surrender our life. Faith is about lifting our life to prove that we totally believe. If Jesus was the man crossing the rod, would you have faith that He won’t let you fall down?


I FOUND GOD

It’s 1:19 am and I have told you just little things. I have more to share about Him and His glory. I will never forget how I found Jesus. That was about 10 months ago. As God wakes me up later, I will continue searching for Him. I will never get tired of seeking His face. I will never look back until I see Him.

Goodnight, I mean, good morning. Have a blessed day, and don’t forget to make God smile today!

Glory to God pa rin..whatever happens :D

God is good.. we will always glorify Him whatever happens..

To rewind ...

9 bands went up for the audition and only one was chosen. Apparently, we did not top the quest for the best bands. But we are sure, we did it for God. And once we say we did it for God, we know it's the best. Yet, we are always open for criticisms, as we are humbly considering advices for our own improvement. God will always help us do things better, or perhaps, perfect!

Though our band (ALL Authority) has not made it to the battle of the bands, we are still on fire to serve God.. tomorrow we will be in Bicol University to conduct a workshop and mini concert, representing the servants. We do these all for God.. Praise God.. we are able to use music for God, instead of using God for music..

Thank you Lord for helping us discern things like these..

Love you Lord Jesus!

We will be guesting in 95.5 Radio city on saturday

Wheew.. i've been to Gubat sorsogon for 2 days and now i'll be leaving for daraga to attend our practice. We will be on-air this saturday at 95.5 radio city. Hopefully, we'll pass for the elimination in battle of the bands "the return". wah, kinig naman kau hehe.. we'll be playing ONE OF US (Joan Osborne), BREATHE YOU IN (TFK), LOST IN SPACE (lighthouse family), and PROMISE OF A LIFETIME (Kutless). Our band's name?

ALL AUTHORITY

me - lead/rhythm guitar and vocals

mau -lead/rhythm guitar and vocals

joey- drums

mayhie- bass guitar

ailene- keyboard

iris- vocals

ALL AUTHORITY - our band's name that was originated from the verse before the great commission..

Matthew 28:17-18 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. [18]
Then
Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to
me...

All of us in the band are writers (which can be associated with the term "authority"). Our paths crossed because of God's great commission, from which He has bestowed us with all authority in heaven and on earth... we are living in the same church..

GLORY TO GOD, FOR THE GIFT OF MUSIC TO ALL AUTHORITY!

Glory to God for this song by musikatha

I first heard Sa'yo when sis ailene shared its mp3 file to me about 8 months ago. Now, we are playing it during our sunday service. Very beautiful song indeed. GLory to God..

potter's glasses

I’ve seen the Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses accidentally on a site and i thought it was cool, well i've learned that it was great! But later on, I remembered Harry Potter. Seems like a pair of eyeglasses stands as a trademark of potter for me. Nontheless, when speaking of fame, the news don't just focus on him and his witchcraft. Zenni Optical was on FOX news don't you know? If you want to find out why, look through the Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni and check out great deals from them!
