voice of satan wargh!

We had an awful experience last night during the bible study. Satan was so desperate because of the fire burning within us. We are in love with God so much, that satan tries to do something against such fervent affection by intruding into our film showing. Taning is certainly jealous.

The CD (Crisis of faith) was recurrently sticking and keeps on rewinding. I was trying to fix it by controlling the fast forward button again and again. The problem was solved every about 10 minutes. When we are on the climax part, the problem with the CD got worse. There were awful sounds, the voice of the narrator became so weird and at one point, it recurrently uttered a bad word. The four-letter P word in tagalog (same meaning with the son of a bi***)… that will be Pu**….. repeatedly… about 5 or six times. It was really shocking. But later on, I just mocked at it. I told myself, satan is so desperate, but sorry, he will never win.

It was such a victorious bible study. It was like a thorn pulled out from my chest. Finally, my elder brother already know that I am not anymore a catholic. That I am independent of any traditional faith. It is clear that I also want to share with him the gift of faith. God is working in our family, even though a lot of troubles came.. A lot of scandalous revelations. God is there for us, I believe! And with all that has happened, the enemy can do nothing but give up.

burdened friends

This is my favorite song.. I was inspired to have this song recorded last night because two close friends of mine are burdened with problems. I’m singing this song to say that I’m always here for them.

Nonetheless, something came up so

I have not finished the song.

I’ll just try to do it again one of these days…


HOLD ON

Ive been there a thousand times
Felt the rain like a thousand knives
and it hurtsI know it hurts

Ive been there like a fighter plane
Trying to fly my way through a hurricane
and its hardI know its hard

Dont be afraid
Youll make it through
Just call out to me
And Ill come running to you
Hold on
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
And hold onHold on
until the storm is over
And Ill be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on

Oh my wallet!

Wheew. What an onset. I thought I can arrive in the office on time. Nakasakay ako agad ng jeep pero akalain mo sa di pa kalayuan e narealize ko na naiwan ko ang aking wallet! Wah. Paraaaa mama!! sabay katok sa bubong ng jeep. Wehe. Umuwi na ako at hindi na tinangkang pumasok pa ng office hehe. Pasaway.

I need a break. hehe. Perhaps, it’s God’s will for me to take some respite. I decided to finish my articles and praise God, I have completed them in just two hours. Wheew. I had ample time to read the inspirational books that I have bought last Sunday.

Chapter 8:

what do I do about the "crazy" thoughts I have sometimes?

Tumambay muna ako sa garden while reading this book. We can relate to this chapter huh? Our minds are often corrupted with sins, with crazyness. So then, what should we really do with these unwanted thoughts? Discipline. And of course, prayers. Let's believe in the power of God. After all, He is the best healer.

After reading, i decided to get inside the house before the heat of the sun finally scorches by flesh. Guess who's inside?

weeeeeeweeeeeeee

Meet CHUCHAI!

Abah abah! heto na si chuchai na anak ni amor na bigay ng bestfriend kong kapitbahay na hiningi ng kapitbahay na ngayo'y nangangapitbahay sa kanyang bagong kapitbahay na buhat sya ngayon. (pwede ka nang huminga..)

Just finished two chapters...bwahar

I'm through with two sensitive topics from the book "20 tough questions teenagers ask". Wheew..I've learned a lot and i believe i'll learn more as I go on with the succeeding chapters. These will help me understand the situations of the teenagers in our youth ministry whom i want to get along and deal with.

I've shared you some of the things that I've learned from these chapters. click here

When faith is gone....

Does looking up.......

relieve you.........
or confuse you...........
and then later on.... you will ask.........

WHERE IS GOD?

You might have often asked this eh?

Thank God coz it is your question instead of:

IS THERE A GOD?

God is everywhere, and we just have to be open about this truth.

Stop struggling, stop living... Deny yourself

and surrender your soul to Him.

When I was about to finish college, I was 18 then, i stopped hearing the mass. Why? I just realized one time that doing so does not complete me. I am not happy at all. This is especially true when I assess other people’s intentions in attending mass. Moreover, I have not seen great changes in people who are of perfect attendance. When the mass can’t do something great in their lives, then why should I continue getting along with them? This was my struggle before

Being part of a generation where people demand for proofs before believing, I myself have been investigative as well. I never knew I have undergone faith crisis. The momentum in such struggle has gone worse when my mom died. I thought, God was never there to bless my life. He didn’t answer my prayers to save my mom from sickness.

Years have gone and I was focused on earthly concerns. Work, family, personal necessities and stuff like that. No time for God, whom I thought has forsaken me. Nonetheless, He still had mercy on me. He has drawn me back to Him even though my life was a complete mess in the midst of individualism and materialism.

Thank God for the life of my workmate/friend Ailene whom God used to evangelize me. I have known God in a deeper perspective. I have loved Him like I have never loved before. He is my life. Indeed, Jesus is not about living.. He is about dying. Denying one’s self is the perfect strategy to achieve completeness.

There is a challenge for each and every person, which is to develop a true and strong relationship with God. However, with logical people who always demand for proof or scientific bases before believing, struggle in faith becomes inevitable. What shall we do to get through this? Remember that, not everything in life requires scientific proof.

Let us start believing without bargaining with God. God is not a business contractor! We must not ask him to do such and such before we believe. Remember that FAITH IS A GIFT from GOD not the other way around. Most of the times indeed, we have a lot of conditions before trusting Him. “God, do these and that and I’ll believe..” If He won’t come across with what we ask for, we’re going to doubt our faith.

When my mom died and when I became so logical with other’s religion, I seemed to doubt my faith. I’ve almost agreed with an atheist friend, who was so rational and intelligent when it comes to analyzing religions. But then I realized that faith is a gift from God, and I should not try hard in figuring out reasons for believing. Even so, I stopped bargaining traps so that I will find the real route to achieving true faith. And so, I have faith in God that my atheist friend will soon receive the same gift that I have attained.

“I believe in God!” , can you repeat that? Just be open and never shut down. Stop analyzing too much because it will block the process. Back off a bit and never think of your indifference as a loss. Faith and trust in God will come to you.

Jesus day!

It was raining early this morning and I tried to play the keys after getting done with a cup of coffee. At 7, i prepared for the sunday service in daraga. It's Jesus day again!

Kuya and Jake were too busy with youtube when i was leaving..

(Hoy! alis nako! baon ko??)

On my way to daraga, the wheels were again rolling against the

flood in Cullat.

The problem in that place is just one of the signs
that mother earth is in wrath.. soon, the destroyers of this earth

will be totally destroyed. (as mentioned/prophesized in the book of revelation)

As i arrived in JDC Sagpon, milo was not around for he is serving in JDC Lacag. Good thing, his sister Rachel is there to do the songleading, and so i had to play the guitar, then Joey, as always, on the drums. Sadly, there were some technical problems but praise God, the morning service was a victory though.

In the afternoon, we had a sort of assesment about the ministry in Guinobatan, which is in the midst of a tight battle. Nonetheless, we still have the heart to continue the mission and pursue God's plans. No one can stop us. We will conquer the enemy, as we always claim it. NO doubt about it >> as what sis Chen has shared earlier through GOd's word.

After the meeting, we had lunch (with kuya Paul, Sis Ems, Ate Jho, and kuya Rupert). At 2:30, Kuya Paul, sis ems, sis maye, and sis rachel were off to a service in Comon, daraga. And I had my own way to legazpi to buy Jake's books.

On my way to Legazpi, i have seen the activity in BU, the Airsoft chuvaness. hehe. Airsoft in an open field? Kyuton man. I thought the props were for the sabungero hehe. But i guess it was cool. Im sorry for this pic because i was inside the jeepney when i took a shot. I can't ask the driver for a rebate!

As I headed to Legazpi, i felt the scorching effect of the blazing sun! Hayz, the damage in the ozone layer is really getting worse. What more can it be in 30 years?

After about 15 minutes from our church, i finally arrived in Lucky educational store. Finally, my flesh is at ease again. Thanks to Carrier, the inventor of the first AC systems. wheew!

Wow, i wish this is my library!

I have not found Jake's books, but since i don't want to go home without a single book in my bag, i decided to buy these books. I will try to read them tonight. I know God wants to say something through these books.

I have not bought these books by accident right?

From Lucky, i headed to LCC mall and tried to look for Jake's books at the 2nd floor. However, i have found nothing. As i went down, i've seen again the statue of a saint near the Lotto outlet. How ironic huh? Maybe this lady is asking the statue to let her win millions from the gambled ten pesos.

Is praying in front of this statue correct in the eyes of God?

Read Exodus 20:4 to know the truth.

Saints are saints..they are not gods.

Moreover, statues like this are just made by humans.

And i guess, if our saints are still

alive, they wouldn't want people to treat them

holy, as they know God and His laws.

It's just sad that people are getting blind with the truth. Most of us are oriented with the wrong teachings. But yes, we do not have the right to condemn especially our brothers and sisters who are innocently walking astray. They need prayers.

Just imagine how these kids and the next generations will suffer if the false teachings will continuously corrupt their minds.

ANYWAY..

I got exhausted and remembered that i had to do my laundry! So I went home..

Before finally heading to our house, i've got these ..hehe

aha! the brown dog tries to impress me with his firm stance!

the majestic Mount Mayon, and kids playing in the oval

Since i am a collector of receipts, i have not failed to have the ones for my two new books documented..hehe

That's all,

GOD BLESS!
