Date with God


It was a typical wednesday except it was my lovely energetic mother! But besides that it was typical. Woke up, dressed up for work and indeed I worked. A lot of things have been happening in work lately and with all the pressure and changes that keeps on changing. Its challenging! Everyday work looks right at me and stares me down waiting for me to curl down in failure. I love the challenge. I know these tests defines who I am and give glory to God seeing how amazing He crafted me to be.
Well work in the office is over and I need to travel to Cainta to handle a coaches' mentoring session (part of MTW Sports' programs) and to beat the unpredictable traffic to Cainta I left 30mins ahead of time. I plugged in my earphones and switched to my 'slow and easy' playlist (secular songs) and just took it easy. I was not being texted which is good and I am not texting as well. Then suddenly it happened.

I love it when God just grabs my attention and i really felt His hug and just made my eyes swell. I didn't cry but I know it was Him. He took me back 4-5 yrs ago when I rode a bus and just prayed, sung praise songs and meditate on scripture. With my little black notebook at hand, I wrote lovely notes about God, life and my Love.

So simple yet so lovely. I love how God surprises me. Solitude is truly a gift that we should not take for granted. I was in a bus and God just loved me whispering "i missed you". All my worries disappeared and I just want to be stuck in that moment.

Father, I am sorry for the times I make you less important in my life and thank you for never letting me go despite my sinful life. I pray that you'll make me grow into a man who desires to glorify and love you for the rest of his life. You never fail to show me your power through my weakness.

God, I missed you too!

Adding New Faith Goals for 2012

The year 2011 is over and I think this is a year that passed so quickly. But why? It is really this fast when you are a member of the working society? Because it went by so fast I wasn't able to keep all the faith goals that I set for 2011. But again by faith I'd like to keep that list and add some more. :) +1. By Faith, I'd like to tithe more that the expected 10% of my earnings/salary every Sunday and learn to bless others. +2. By Faith, I would like to bond more often and mentor the boys (disciples) entrusted to me. +3. By Faith, I can read the whole Bible in a year. (time to get me a new Bible reading plan. :p) +4. By Faith, I will work out, exercise and get into other sports. (I pray for strength, Lord) +5. By Faith, I will memorize the name of the people I meet and successfully match them with their faces. Hahaha +6. By Faith, I will widen my vocabulary and improve my grammar. :( +7. By Faith, I will read more than 10 books in 2012. :) I Pray that God will help me r

It Is Not Always About Academics

In a recent exchange of text messages with my friend, I was brought to another part in my life when I was in my elementary level. I entered a christian school as a grade 2 student and didn't care much about academics. I guess that is natural for kids at that age. I remember the times that I started learning how to type properly and play games using stairs called "A B C." But one thing that I will never forget is the end of 2 nd grade. It is a tradition that awards will be given to academic achievers and be recognized at the end of a school year. I never felt so left out that afternoon when all my friends we being called since they have achieved high grades. I never knew what my grades were that school year and I bet it wasn't low but I felt that I was a dumb kid. I cried running towards my father when I told him that I was not included in the top 10. I think he said something like "try harder next year" ' coz it was instilled in me that I would do a lo
