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 finally He led me to a woman that I can see growing old with. God gave me an additional motivation to live life with excellence. 

I only gave 3 major praise items of my 2012. It will be too long if I enumerate them all. But generally, I want to thank God for letting me meet new friends, acquaintances, clients, and even strangers in 2012. I thank you Father for the big and small things that you let me enjoy and experience.

Prayer:
Lord, please help me become a better christian in 2013. Remind me constantly that I need to focus on the eternal things. Things that really matter to you. Let me be a good example and model to others. Please spare me from temptations and sin that I really find hard to resist. Strengthen me and make me fall in love with you over and over again. Let me absorb your word and consistently meditate on it. Thank you Father. Amen.

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...
