Peace

Today I have come to understand how Jesus isn't only enduring when He was here. He is—as a matter of fact, at peace . His mind isn't running through some sort of blaming, doubting and hurting. He is not filled by those things towards the Father, or even towards anybody. I understand now, why, in the Lord's prayer, He was able to teach us how the Father in heaven is Faithful. Faithful. Faithful. He is not a father who leaves a house and leaves a home broken. As Jesus said, He is a Father whose will can be done here on earth as it is in heaven.  Loving. Loving. Loving.  David can attest to it; prays, he's never seen a righteous man forsaken nor their children begging bread. And you do too--you never let a loved one go hungry, don't you? Forgiving. Forgiving. Forgiving. Jesus witnessing how much the Father loves—His (Jesus) soiled, calloused feet walking the earth. The confidence that there is greater power in forgiveness. That love is also shown...

Steve Jobs & Me

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.   - Steve Jobs , CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005 FRIDAY IT'S JUST MY EMOTION feeling bad about everything. But I have the conviction that Someone loves me and suffered for me, and has taken every awful things one could experience just so I could have a choice not having them now. The conviction that makes me confident of everything that I have and getting those that I do not have... yet. THURSDAY I have all the intention and I fall short with my action. Unless I make Christ as my life's (and the desires, plans and ambitions that go with it) Chief Cornerstone. It has been a fulfillment having se...

Mangyaring Nakapakinig Ulit Ako Ng Hillsong

I have been with my highschool friends, one of them asked: "Sino may music sa phone ?" He turned to my phone and said, "May mga kanta yan?"  Pia: "Yup." Friend 2: "Naku! Puro Hillsong yan!" Pia: "Hindi kayaa!"  Then, confidently I added, "...Jesus Culture!" My best friend and I laughed. And I am happy.  I remember what the Lord told me before going to bed last night. The cost of following Jesus Christ. "I will follow You..."  It's a commitment. Engagement. Attachment. Jesus' involvement over our life. It's knowing that I must  do something even if it's against my will, against my convenience. It's gonna be wanting what I do not want to do; loving what I do not love & I haven't loved before. Losing what I have been keeping... But knowing that it's Jesus whom I'm gonna follow, it's gonna be experiencing amazing things and seeing miracles and doing great things! And ...

The Principles I Live By. And Not Just Sort Of A Requirement.

This was our last submission for our NSTP 2 class last semester. And I think I did great, he he. I passed the subject! Enjoy! 30 Principles I Live By 1. Where there is no sacrifice many things are being compromised. We may be doing the good thing yet the RIGHT thing is being neglected. 2. Laughter is NOT the best medicine, it's the inner peace that lingers on our soul. Laughter is nothing but physical, but the overflow of the heart's condition results to physical action.  3. It's not who you have invited, it's those who will stay.  4. Other people's heart is not our heart. We lessen our expectations with them 'cause their standards are not always the same with us. Having reminded of this always is being able to cope up with agitation. 5. Christianity is not for the sake of human convenience. That's why there are many who believe and still don't. Not till they find time to do so.  6. When nothing is good God is.  7. It's not always...

"Man Down! Man Down!"

My ears are filled with not so strange sounds from a rescue operation. The scenario I mean. Now you imagine it; man on the radio, poor reception, battle still raging on, people shouting (be it a soldier or a civilian), gun shots, explosions... "Man down! Man down!" Are you hearing it more clearly now? If so, then we're both on with this. Keep on reading.  It's never a wonderful thing falling. Falling in love. (If you know the standards and have not yet met it, yes, it is not wonderful) Falling out of what have you. Falling and hitting the ground. Falling and hardly getting up. Seeing somebody fall. Falling on a trap. On  a miry clay. Hearing somebody fall. Seeing somebody hardly getting up. And vagueness in reading something about falling. It's something we don't usually talk about. It's something that doesn't catch our attention. But to whom & to what  it is connected it actually does.  To a man. Falling is quite a hard thing that can happen....

It's The Overflow Of My Heart: I LOVE YOU!

( http://x-shad0w.livejournal.com/ )   3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins,        O Lord, who could stand?   4 But with you there is forgiveness;        therefore you are feared.   5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,        and in his word I put my hope.   6 My soul waits for the Lord        more than watchmen wait for the morning,        more than watchmen wait for the morning. PSALM 130:3-6 The word of God that never fail to touch my heart. This is the hunger I've been letting myself to feel for my God. Everyday I pray to not cease feeling this way for my Lord. Thanks for our Youth Pastor, who posted this in his Wall. God chooses anyone He wants to speak to us. So, what you've been reading? Seeing? Can you hear God's voice speaking to you? Never second-guess God's ability to speak to you. Be in hun...

Many things I learned today, few things I will do. I've learned that it's really cool to do people shopping when you've got nothing to think of or at least trying to divert your mind from something you're sick of racking your brain to. But I can't do that anymore. It's bad. Do I have to explain its badness? I've learned that sometimes it's okay to be late in class just as long as you'll have good test results. And note-writing ability. But I can't do that anymore. I chose not to. I cannot tolerate my being late at school. It's not cool and I don't want to disappoint my parents who, in their selfless will, trying their very best to wake up early, prepare stuff for a hassle-free day for me, and the whole family. Their effort of going to work as early as they could so they'll have job and paycheck and so my tuition and baon. Wow. And I  thought of that just now? I've learned today that it's just okay to spend your 5-hour cl...
