My Epilepsy Story - Series of Attacks (part 2)

Image
Seizure Attacks Couple of years ago I kept a seizure log in my mobile phone but unfortunately my phone got stolen and I lost track ( I forgot to create a cloud backup - teehee ).  To give a context on my Seizure attacks they started months after being discharged from the hospital. I reported back to work after a month of rest - that is July 2014, and went back in doing my normal routine or lifestyle. But there were funny moments where names and faces do not exactly match in my mind. I got saved from humiliating myself not calling them different names seeing everybody wearing name plates/tags in the Hotel where I work. They were all so happy seeing me, asking all sorts of questions like how it happened, what did I feel, was I in a comatose, etc. It was just happy seeing them and being well received by all of them. I am also blessed by God giving me the 'aura'. What's that?! Aura is a sensation I feel warning me that a seizure is rising and will happen. The specific aura that

My Epilepsy Story - Incident & Hospitalization (part 1)

I am a Person with Disability. Categorized under the Psychosocial group - a misunderstood areas of disability. I had a head injury leading to severe bleeding in my brain and in the process of healing I experience seizures or epileptic attacks.  Nothing is stopping me to continue living normally and continue doing what I did before the incident. My Epilepsy Story begins here.  April 27, 2014 - Sunday Opening of the village's basketball tournament. We are playing first and we were warming up shooting and doing layups. When the game is about to start, I clearly remember greeting and talking to the referees requesting to make good calls during the game. Then it happened. I lost consciousness. IT Months later, after being hospitalized and now recovering. I asked my basketball teammates what really happened to me. This will sound really funny. I got injured during tip-off or jump ball. This is the start or the game. Immediately, I said "Ako lang ata sa buong mundo ang na-injure sa

In Christ Alone

 Let me start with this verse, in John 6:68.  Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, Jesus Christ our Lord, the Living Water & Bread of Life. In Him we will never hunger and thirst. Before John 6, Jesus fed thousands of people by multiplying bread which fulfilled their stomachs temporarily maybe for a few hours or overnight but if we are in Christ we will never hunger. He has eternal life. Like what Peter said in verse 68, ...You have the words of eternal life." Peter didn't just say this because he part of the special 12 disciples but because he put his faith in the words that Jesus the Messiah, the Christ says. Not because he has no other place to go or no other options. His heart knows. God chose Simon Peter, to open his heart to the words of Christ. In Christ alone, all the doctrine, teachings, miracles, transformation stand. Only because of Him we are saved from eternal death. He alone is the only way for salvation. 

The Reason Why I believe in Reformed Theology

It is no secret that I believe in the reformed theology. The theology that Martin Luther resurfaced when he nailed his 95 these to Wittenburg Cathedral door. This is also the theology that John Calvin embraced. That is why sometimes the reformed theology is synonymous to Calvinism or the teachings of Calvin. But let me be quick to say that these teachings are not new even to Luther and Calvin's time, reformation era was during the 1500s. These teachings are conclusions of what the Bible teaches.  The book of Romans is shouting these doctrines since its writing. Jesus also talks about them (visit  http://www.calvinistcorner.com/Jesus-tulip.htm ). So this means that the reformed theology came from the Bible and Jesus himself. But it is sad that these doctrines are being rejected and always being debated. Why? Because they are hard to swallow. Why are they hard to swallow or accept? Because it is contrary to the teachings that are used these days. Now they teach that everybody wil

Small Gestures

Preface: I wrote this short poem? letter? note? I don't know what to call it but I wrote this 452 days ago according to my iPhone notes. I was just browsing through my notes and saw this. I just thought of posting this since I know that these questions have been answered now. Hi you I still haven't met you How are u doing? How was your day? How did u rely on the Lord today? I miss you I know i miss you I will know that u miss me too by your little sweet gestures Your hand slowly fitting into mine Your head leaning towards my shoulder You fixing my hair You trying to tickle me Small gestures that doesn't say I love you but show that you love me Can I expect these small gestures? Can I do the same in return? When would our eyes meet? Have our eyes met already? I miss you I love you I need you

Discipler-Disciple Relationship

Image
I think it is about time to share my experience as a Discipler. Well the term 'Discipler' is not really a known english term but it came from the word Disciple. A Discipler is someone who disciples. This term was introduced to me when I started attending CCF and also heard this term from CCC (Campus Crusade for Christ) people. Now, I want to share the importance of this relationship and why it is a privilege to become a discipler. Discipleship is a biblical term to describe what Jesus did to train his disciples. What not all people know is that Jesus had many followers not only the 12. The 12 disciples were the selected few, the stand outs and the ones who followed Jesus for 3 years. From the 12 Jesus selected 3 people, Peter, James, and John. These 3 were his closest disciples. These disciples were not only followers of Jesus but also became his friends. Jesus' disciples had the privilege to have a front row seat to every miracle, every teaching, every amazing event

Reasons I am Thankful for 2012!

2012 was for me 1 of the fastest years that passed by. it was like a month ago when I was welcoming 2012 and now I am looking back and see God's goodness to me. 1. God's grace overflowing in my life. I feel so undeserving of the mercies that God give me everyday. Jesus is my savior and lord yet I could be honest this year I failed to consistently deny myself and totally obey Jesus. I feel so unworthy of His love and I need to get better in becoming a better follower of Him. 2. God give me the ability to produce wealth. I spent my whole year with MTW Sports and by God's grace He has never failed to meet our needs and sometimes even supply our wants. It is not because of me that I am where I am now but it is only because God placed me here and gave me this set of skills that I can use. Indeed it is not because of my might that I have resources but only because of God. 3. God's best. Of course my 2012 will never be the same without my Love. I thank God that f
