On Her SarcaPsalm

It's sweldo day today so I brought Sunny to Puregold. lol We ended up buying a toy from The SM Store [Yes, they name themselves like that na]. I RARELY buy toys for Sunny because point A it's unnecessary, and point B—as always—ayaw ko ng madaming ligpitin. Only this time she needs to have something to spend her time on aside from being with me [which is all the time] because I need to work, so I can earn decent amount of money for both of us. Less time of working means less earnings. So, there's that. I let her play with our old landline phone though, and the oven toaster we don't use. Don't @ me. READ: Motor skills. She's smart, too, if you get to know her personally. I'm not actually going tell you about those things because the original plan was to buy groceries. So we did. [Umabot lang talaga kami sa SM because we are spontaneous like that. And probably because, life.] It always feels good doing grocery shopping. It is such a RELIEF having to...

Who can measure what God does? Who can outgive Him? We can't but we sometimes make it seem like we could. There is jealousy in the love of God. That's why He he made certain of idolatry being abominable for Him. He offered His own Son for a bunch of selfish creatures just much more intelligent than the animals. He gave and took nothing in return. He just gave for God so loved the world.  And all that we could ever do is to get. Because we have to satisfy our needs. HOW WE LOVE HIM NOT We forget about Him, we forget about what He's done and go on doing what we've known and what we've already mastered. We would try be invulnerable of the Spirit and do our thing. When we settle for knowledge over wisdom. When we focus on welfare rather than salvation. For we, ourselves are no longer recepient of it. "They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns--broken cisterns that can hold no water." Jeremiah 2:13 What quench...

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...

I always remember in my heart that our God is the God of covenant. One of the things that He values the most is our commitment to do what He says we should do. I can never have my own plans without the Lord determining it. I can never have my own desire without the Lord giving me wisdom if it's alright. God values what He had promised to us, and so, He also wants to be true with our YES-es to Him. It will never work without our participation. He loves us so much that He values our covenant and everything that we speak in prayer; our commitment; our submission; and the thing that sometimes hurt -our surrender. GOD's WORD -It's never a commandment for nothing. It's a love kept over a covenant to those who are true and obedient. I am true to my covenant with You, Lord. I am true to my covenant with my leaders. Even though I'd fail most of the time... I ask for a heart that keeps on going and keeps on desiring to be obedient and selfless just so You could use ...

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 ...

I was nearing in having the most excuses in His kingdom. Last night, off to bed I prayed and told God how I am no longer kneeling before Him for days now. Having to tell many reasons why I can't. And why I don't. Reasons which only grace can make valid. Thank You, Jesus. Even so, this morning... err, afternoon. Waking up in a high degree of room temperature which even dry goods can't contain, I know that it's not the summer weather... it's me having too much sleep! I thought about my long hours of sleep as wasting time. Very. I could've accomplished more things than the average idle thoughts I could produce on my mind. I took a strum on the guitar I borrowed from my brother (the spiritual brother). Then  sang choruses of God-exalting songs from Jesus Culture band.  Then I whispered a prayer and bowed for a fervent one.  I am in awe. I am awestruck by God's presence. How He would answer the prayer of the righteous. Again, that is by grace. And so it goes....

People have this reaction whenever I share about Joshua Harris' books and blog posts. He's not always into the aspect of Christian's purity, morality, love, dating, courtship and marriage, you know. But for some time I also found myself pleasing me  whenever I read his books. I first believed that he is more than the author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye when I discover his blog site. Which leads me to buying his other books . Which made me bookmark his site. Which made me share his post about Abiding and the Scripture you and I both familiar with, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. -John 15:5 Which goes like this: Here's the truth: you and I know how to abide. When there's someone in our life that we know we can't live without, we know how to stay close to them. We talk to them. We listen to them. We don't go on long vacations away from them. We remember ...

( 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...

Having looked past my old posts, I've realized that the two latest posts I've had were very gloomy and copypaste-d. Tsk. So, to make this one different and somehow "new". I'll make this one... taglish. Dahil 1 hour nang bukas ang Compose Blog Entry ng Mutliply at wala pa'rin ako'ng tamang salita para sa isusulat ko. Naisipan ko'ng gumawa na lang muna ng Prologue ng post ko'ng nagja-jumble pa sa utak ko. Ilang weeks na'ng hindi nalalamanan ang blog site ko. Kaya let me make kumpara my brain cells to an egg cell and a church cell member. Ang brain cells ko, Parang egg cell, sumasabog na lang sa uterus( ? ) kapag hindi na-develop at nag-grow. Parang cell member , nawawala at nagwawala na lang kapag hindi nag-grow at nag-mature. In short, may bloodshed na sa utak ko at malapit na'ng mamatay ang blogging skills ko. Dugyot na'rin ang journal notebook ko dahil kalat kalat na ang thoughts and stories ko na hindi ko na...
