English Challenge to my Brother

Masaya naman ang aming bonding na magkakapatid this morning
sa aming town, Guinobatan.

Pero nagkatuwaan na i-challenge si Juvy na ipabalot ang left overs
para sa aming mga alaga, pero kailangan magsalita sya in English.
Nagawa kaya nya ito? Watch this!

How Do You Deal With Depression?

somebody asked me, "how do you deal with depression?"

I said:

All people around this planet experience depression at certain levels, I myself have also been down there and fought hard. Over the years, I've learned that when this virus attacks ones mind, the only key to the exit door is Jesus. You need to move the spotlight on Him not on you. Because depression is magnified when you get that spotlight and make it brighter on you. Move that to Him because at the end of the day, IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU. He has to shine brighter, then you will be saved by His light.

Some would say it is easier said than done. I agree. Depression is not easy. You have to shake it off every single day. It is serious. But God is greater. He will outshine you and your depression. All you need to do is to just let Him be God.

And when He sets you free, know that you are set free indeed. Don't get back. When you have overcome, don't turn back. When you follow Jesus, THERE IS NO TURNING BACK! Do not doubt the power of the Most High God. He has overcome the world and that includes your depression.

When I say these things, people under "depression" would tell to my face, "shut up, you are being churchy.. I know all these things, you don't have to preach to me!"

So I will just shut my mouth but continue to preach using my own body and heart. At the end of it all, love conquers all. That's how Jesus won me.

Whenever I feel depressed, I cry. We need it! But we've got to get up again and remember Jesus' love and mission on earth. THERE IS A TASK THAT HAS TO BE COMPLETED AND WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!1 I need to pack up and follow Him. Yes I am wounded, I am bruised, I am limped, but again it is not about me. It is Him whom I follow. My God is greater than my wounds.

Stop talking about YOU and start talking about HIM.

Ang Elemento ng #Pride

Minsan may isang magsasaka, nais nyang ang kanyang anak ay maging mahusay na magsasaka din. Sumunod naman ang anak sa lahat ng sinasabi ng kanyang ama at hindi rin nagtagal ay naging mahusay nga syang magsasaka. Ngunit dumating sa punto na sa laki ng pangarap ng anak para sa kanilang sakahan, ninais nyang mas matuto pa sa larangang ito. Naisip nya, mataas ang kanyang tingin sa kanyang ama ngunit marami ding katulad nila sa mundo na magsasaka din at maraming pwedeng maibahagi sa kanilang mag ama upang mas mapataas ang antas ng kanilang ani. Naisip ng anak na lumayo pansamantala at mag aral ng husto nang sa gayon ay lumawak ang perspektibo sa pag-ani.

Ayaw ng kanyang ama na umalis dahil sa tingin nito ay sapat na ang kanyang kaalaman at sayang lang sa oras ang gagawing paglisan ng anak. Ngunit ang anak ay nanindigan na tama ang kanyang bisyon para sa kanilang lupain at anihan. Tumulak ang anak kahit na hindi sang ayon ang ama.

Napilitan na lang ang ama na ibigay ang kalayaan ng anak. Lumipas ang kaunting panahon, nakabalik agad ang anak dala dala ang mga bagong ideya sa pagsasaka. Nakapag ipon na rin ito ng sapat na halaga para makabili ng makinarya. Ngunit ang ama ay nanatiling mapait ang puso mula pa noong umalis ang anak. Sabi ng anak, "'Tay, ako ay sabik na ibahagi sa'yo ang aking mga natutunan, paniguradong makakatulong ito sa ating sakahan. Malaki at magiging mabilis ang ating pagpapalago nito". Ngunit ang ama ay nanatiling tahimik. Minsan lamang itong nagsalita at ang sinabi'y, "hindi ako sang ayon sa lahat ng sinasabi mo."

Nalungkot ang anak dahil sa lalim ng kanyang mga pag aaral, malaki ang kanyang kumpyansa na magdudulot ng malaking positibong pagbabago sa kanilang pagsasaka ang lahat ng kanyang natutunan kung ang kanyang ama sana ay magpapakumbaba at tatanggapin ang kanyang alok.

Mahal ng anak ang kanyang ama at mahal din nito ang kanilang lupain at pananim. Ayaw man ng anak na lisanin ang lupain, ngunit ang kanyang puso ay nagpupumiglas na gamitin ang lahat ng natutunan upang ang kanilang sakahan at ang iba ring sakahan ay manaba at magsibunga ng malulusog at matatabang pananim.

Ang lahat ng kanyang natutunan at makinarya ay ibinigay na lamang nya sa iba, bagamat masakit sa kanyang kalooban, hinarap nya ang katotohanang, ang ama ay hindi naniniwala sa kanya.

10,000 Reasons

When A Schizophrenic Christian Talks (I love Jesus but Some Christians, It’s Hard to love them. But I Should)

Ano bang nararamdaman mo? Yun bang ginawa mo na ang lahat pero sasabihin pa rin sayo, nasan ang accomplishments mo? Yun bang halos pati pangarap mo na give up mo na tapos sasabihin sayo, ano bang naibigay mo? Much is given much is required! Sasabihin sa mukha mo! So ano pa? ano pang gusto nila? Yung may ginawa kang ang ganda ganda pero ang ia-amplify pa rin ung mali mo? Ung pagkukulang mo? Wala. Bobo na yata ako. Di ko kasi maintindihan. Di ko mawari ano pang gusto nila. Kaya pinipili ko nalang manahimik. Either kasi ako ang bobo o tlgang iba lang ang expectations nila at hindi nila makita kung saan ako nanggagaling. Alam naman ng Lord ang tibok ng puso ko. Alam ng Lord ang pag-uusap namin. Minsan, dahil sa sinasabi nila, nagdududa na ako kung si Lord tlga ang nakakausap ko o sarili ko o ang demonyo. Pero hindi, alam ko kung ano ang impressions ng Lord saakin. Sa tagal ng pinagsamahan namin. Sa dami ng ginawa Nya sa buhay ko magdududa pa ba ako? Di naman ako perpekto alam ko. Pero yung i-drain ka ng ganito, nakakawala na ng gana.  Sasabihan ka pa ang taas ng pinag aralan mo pero ganyan…. Edi wow. Nag-aral ako kasi alam kong mahina ako at kailangan ko matuto. Kasi nung una pa lang, yun na din ang pinaramdam nila, wala kang alam, lahat ng ginagawa mo palpak. Grabe sobrang bait ko yata. Yung tinapak tapakan kana pala noon pero iniibig mo pa rin sila. Pero yon, nag-aral ako para pagbalik ko ok na din ako finally. Gusto ko rin may matutunan ang iba kapag umupo ako sa tabi nila. Pero more than that, for self edification talaga ang hanap ko in the first place, kasi alam ko, pag konti ang alam ko, mabubuwal ako nang mabilisan. Hindi ako nag aral para sabihin sainyo “hoy, may masters ako at nagdodoctoral ako”. Walang ganun.  Wag mong sasabihin na Matthew 6:33 kasi simula pa lang ng nakilala ko ang Panginoong Hesus, iniwan ko na mga bagahe ko noon pa at hanggang ngayon, ibinababa ko pa ung mga natitira. Sasabihan mo din ako baka burnout na ako kaya ganito ako mag isip kaya Matthew 11:28 basahin ko. Andami mong sasabihing Bible verses pero alam mo, bago mo pa sabihin, dumaan na ang lahat ng iyan lahat sa utak ko. Kasi matagal ko nang  kailangan ng encouragement at alam kong sa salita lang ng Diyos yon makukuha. Araw araw din akong nakikipag usap sa Kanya at hindi lang ikaw. Sadyang may mga digmaan lang akong hinaharap na hindi mo alam. Hindi talaga tama na kapag may nag open sayo ng hinaing sa buhay eh Bible verse agad ang ititira mo. Wag kang churchy. Hindi naman sa lahat ng oras kailangan mo ipakita kung ano ang memorized mong pahina ng Bibliya. Isabuhay mo nang makita sayo. Kasi pag kausap kita, feeling ko ang dumi dumi ko at ang linis linis mo. Siguro pag kaharap ko si Hesus, hindi ganyan ang mararanasan ko. Kasi Sya, totoo ang pag-ibig Nya sa akin.  Yung sayo, ewan ko. Ang kipot ng daan. Pati ako, pinipiga ko na din ang sarili ko. Kahit hirap na hirap na ako sinisikap ko pa rin. Kaso ano, sasabihan ka pa rin, piliin mo ang makipot na daan. Hello! Ang tagal ko na dito di mo pa rin makita? ‘di wow. Grabe nagbago na ba ugali ko? Feeling ko ang sama na kasi.  Tapos ma pride na din yata ako. Ewan ko ba. Ang alam ko, mas ma pride ako noon lalo na nung di ko pa kilala si Lord. Kung pride ung magsabi ka lang na pagod ka na maging mabait, siguro nga ma pride na tlaga ako.  Nakakapagod tlaga ang pride. Gusto ko laging gabi para matulog na at magpahinga. Pag umaga ang hirap bumangon. Nakakapagod paulit ulit kang nagka cast out dahil sa sandaang demonyo na dumadagan sayo para di kana magpatuloy.  Tapos sasabihin nanaman sayo “take the narrow road”? Aba’y wala naman silang alam sa  gyera na pinagdadaanan mo. Anong narrow road ba yan? Pikit ka nalang at wag umimik, kasi wala silang maiintindihan dahil sarado sila sayo. Buhay talaga… Nasa’an na ba ang straight jacket ko…

Lead Me Lord

Gary Valenciano

Lead me Lord
lead me by the hand
and help me face the rising sun
comfort me through all the pain
that life may bring
There's no other hope

that i can lean upon
Lead me Lord
lead me all my life...
Walk by me Walk by me
across the lonely roads that i may face

take my arms and let your hand
show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days
all my life...

C.
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet

All the Time, my Lord i need You there
You are my light
I cannot live alone
let me stay, by Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord...

Lead me Lord
eventhough at times
i'd rather go along my way
help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me lord
and never leave my side

all my days, all my life...

Angels Brought Me Here (Guy Sebastian Original, Carrie Underwood cover)

It's been a long and winding journey
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
And walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes
My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you
My miracle
If you could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
oh brought me here to be with you
I'll be forever grateful
Forever thankful
My dreams came true
Right here in front of you
My miracle
If you could see what I see
You're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here....

God Bless the Broken Road

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
That every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes it did

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
And others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know it's true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah

And now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
Ooh, ooh
That led me straight to you

Free Hugs for Moms at Legazpi City

What a weekend!
We had a lunch out with family to celebrate Mothers' day.
I miss my mom.
so much.
Yet, I know, she's in God's mighty presence now.

It was an extra exciting Sunday for us because of this social experiment that we had.
We offered FREE HUGS for MOMS!
The outcome was overwhelming.
We thought we'd just get like one or two hugs but it turned out that
one mom in a minute wants to get a hug!

When the Sun Stood Still

I can still remember the times when I "go" alone in many places. It used to be so weird of me to just go, whenever I hear the Lord telling me to go. I am just a tiny woman and most of the time, I carry huge pieces of luggage, and find kids. God's patterns for me gradually unfolded, and these were picturesque of kids, longing for faith, hope, and love...

When I went to Leyte alone some years ago, finding my way to the typhoon Haiyan victims, I was so blessed that the Lord has provided a team to work with me from the time I stepped on that land. I can still remember them today. I am just so thankful for their lives. I have faith that the Lord has been putting them in higher places now, administering fruitful ministries.

The thing that has struck me most that time was my 6-hour "God moment". I was a chance passenger for a ferry from Hilongos to Cebu and by the time I came to the port, I realized I had to wait for 6 hours for me to take off to the other Island. Again, I was alone. In that 6 long hours, I was recurrently asking the Lord out of tiredness from all the toil in the previous ministry. I asked Him, "why am I alone? what am I doing here? Did You really call me to do these things? " and all these funny yet valid questions aroused my longing soul, as I was just crying my heart out to Him before the heavens, the sea and all the rats under my feet.

In my despair, I was embraced by His grace and love as He has given me this beautiful answer when the sun started to set that time..

"Can't you see my daughter, you are not alone... I am with You all along.."

And tears poured out.. Truly I am called, I am loved, I am not alone... even up to this day!

I love you my faithful Lord Jesus!

I remember  when God has let the sun to "stand still" during the battle of Joshua against the enemies.."  which in Hebrew also translates to Greek root words, "when the Son stood still on the cross"....  I believe, this is the Lord, standing still as I fight my battles too. I am not alone in these battles as myself and my God are in these together.. so are you and Him..

For whatever it is that is keeping you from moving forward, I tell you:

Don't stop, take courage, press on!

The Lord is with you, as you remain in Him!

"Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hastened to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded a voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel (Joshua 10:12-14)."

Awesome Privilege To Witness This Indonesian Wedding!

What an awesome experience to witness a very rich culture. The Indonesian Culture!
They give 'super' high regard on marriage here...

Jeremiah is our "bunso" in our circle of friends back in Baguio and we were kind of emotional that time because our bunso was getting married na! By God's grace, he will do great as a husband to Shilvia and as a dad to their future kids.

The pre-wedding ceremonies and the wedding itself all went well. We experienced both the Batak and Javanese cultures in these wedding ceremonies. What a privilege!

Thank you very much to Gurning Family and the whole church for accommodating us. It is our desire to see you all again in the future, God willing.

Press on!


PS:
I will post another video about our other sight visits in Solo, Salatiga, Tuwamangu, etc..

See ya!

Though not 100%, because I still need to check their papers and submit their grades....
It was a blessing to meet these awesome students and have them engaged into the reality of the current stature of religions on this planet.

I have faith that their perspectives were widened and made even firmer to give more space for growth in hope, faith, and love for the nations!

So proud of all of you! The Lord bless you in each path you take towards Him. Press on!

Have you acquired your own copy of SYBABS yet?

Most of us would dream to change the world.
Why not.
But I tell you, most of the time you have greater power to change the world when you are single! When you are married even "the power" to change the TV channel or "the will" to eat the last piece of cake will decline. But of course we don't want to downgrade what power couples can do by the grace of God. The question is, how can you be powerfully awesome while being single? or how can you spot the perfect spouse-to-be to complete your powerful and awesome team?

You may want to have a 2-hour sit and read the 7 Steps to Awesomeness While Being Single (Shouldn't You Be Awesome Being Single @ 30) and know more about these.
