I asked, "Lord, how?" I continued to reason out about this and that. But He keeps on telling me, "faith, don. Just have faith in Me. Trust Me, I'll take care of everything." I've been hard-headed. He keeps whispering, "faith". "you have a little faith, and you even doubt it.", He added. I cried, I wanted to say "yes, Lord. I will." But the statement has been full of 'buts'. I asked for more confirmations and a promise to hold. [kapal pa talaga ng mukha ko]</div><div style="text-align: justify;">By morning, I received a text message saying "For whatever is happening in your life. Don't preoccupy yourself with the question WHY? But rather ponder more on to WHERE these events bring you...Once you get to WHERE God wants you to be, then you'll know WHY." In my case, it's not WHY, it's HOW. But either way, it's the same issue. I was drowned by my thoughts--thoughts of my incapabilities, that i can't do it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But eventually I got through it by God's grace. He gave me the 'signs' [of confirmations] and i became so excited and joyful to embrace it. Yes, I responded to it, being reminded with so many things and having my confidence in Him.</div>D.Renewed.Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14602115061857569527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513860441412960710.post-42030369653504516192009-12-31T23:45:00.000+08:002010-01-24T13:39:58.243+08:00100 simple and joyful things in 100 days<ol><li><span style="color: #cc0000;">Sept. 23 (Wed):</span> <b><span style="color: blue;">found a </span><i><span style="color: blue;">20 peso-bill</span></i><span style="color: blue;"> along the road</span></b></li>

We were chatting as we were traveling kaya naman 'di namin namalayang malapit na palang bumaba ang isa sa'min. Dahil pareho naming 'di alam kung magkano nga ba ang pamasahe, we estimated an amount na alam naming mas mataas pa sa saktong pamasahe. Diana reasoned out, <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>"Di bale ng sobra, basta 'wag lang magkulang. 'di ba?"</em></span> <span style="font-size: small;">dun ko rin naisip. "oo nga noh? 'di bale na ngang <span style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: medium;">sobra</span> ang binibigay mo kaysa naman <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><em>kulang.</em></span>" more questions came to my mind at that time. questions such as, "do i give enough love to the people God has blessed me with--<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-small;">family, discipler, s. sissies, disciple/s, friends,</span> or was it lacking?", "do i give God what He deserves or i just give Him what's average, so-so, or ayos lang?" "kamusta nga ba ang pagmamahal ko sa bayan?" nasupalpal ako sa mga katanungang alam kong hindi basta lang kagagawan ng aking isipan at imahinasyon. alam kong sa sandaling iyon, nangungusap Siya sa aking puso't isipan. Nanunuyong baka pwede namang huwag 'yong kulang ang ibigay ko sa Kanya. sa lahat nga naman kasi ng pagkakataon, sobra ang ibinibigay Niya. nararapat lang naman sigurong maghandog din ako nang higit pa sa 'ayos lang', higit pa sa kung ano ang katamtaman. madalas kasing naiisip ng tao, <em>pwede na siguro 'to, </em>o 'di naman kaya ay <em>tama na 'to, maiintindihan naman ni, Lord. ito lang talaga maibibigay ko. babawi na lang ako sa susunod.</em> paano na lang kung wala ka nang 'susunod na panahon'? or how 'bout having it the other way? what if, hindi itinuloy ni Jesus ang pagpapapako sa Krus? paano kaya kung naisipan Niyang <em>tama na Ama, marami-rami na rin naman ang naging galos at sugat na aking natamo. masyado ng nayurakan ang aking pagkatao. pagod na ako.</em> but Jesus did everything, He gave His all. He sacrificed His life on the Cross just to redeem us all. kung iisipin, mukhang sobra nga naman at kinailangan pang humantong sa ganoon. pero ganun din naman kasi ang pagmamahal Niya, sobra. so why can't we give Him more than what's ordinary? He deserves more than average. He deserves our best.</span></span><br />

</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">going back to the night when i heard that line, there was one thing missing at that time. and that was inquiry. we could have asked the driver or his assistant how much the exact fare was but we didn't. kinailangan nating malaman kung alin nga ba ang sakto, kulang at sobra. dapat rin nating malaman kung saan ang ating kinalalagyan. nararapat lamang na magtanong tayo. inquire, ask, consult, talk to God. <em>am i giving You my all? am i giving You my best? am i pleasing You? or Lord, what more can i give to You? help me that i could give it. </em>it takes humility in all these things. and His grace will always be enough to enable you do the things you never thought you could.<br />

masaya't namamangha sa aking nakikita<br />
naaaliw habang pinagmamasdan ang mga ilaw<br />
mga ilaw na nagbibigay liwanag<br />
at sa aki'y nagmulat, ulan pala'y pumapatak<br />
<br />
ako'y lubos na nagpapasalamat<br />
sa hatid Niyang liwanag<br />
ako'y namulat sa umaapaw na pagmamahal at biyaya<br />
madalas hindi makita ang bawat patak ng ulan<br />
simbolo ng Kanyang walang hanggang pag-ibig at katapatan<br />
<br />
muli't-muli akong magpapasalamat<br />
dahil sa liwanag na nasilayan<br />
at sa patuloy na pagsibol ng pag-asang minsa'y pinagkait ng kadiliman<br />

I enjoyed driving along the streets within the neighborhood, carrying a lot of candies inside the basket attached in front of my bike. As we transferred to a village in the city, I wasn't able to ride the same bike again. I had the bigger one. Riding it was a bit difficult, didn't know how to balance at that time. I got bruised and got wounded as part of learning to ride the real bike (i used to have the bike which has two tiny wheels at the back). And as I learned how to balance in riding the bigger one, I had a great time biking around the village with my friends in the neighborhood. I even crossed to another village through that. I also tried some stunts that added more bruises and wounds to my legs and knees. But I never stopped. I just loved it together with the risks/adventures. Having fun with my bike ended when it was stolen as we got out of town for a vacation. Years passed when it was finally replaced with a mountain bike. At that time, I was already in high school and I was busy with the acads stuff and some activities of the organizations I joined at school. Ever since, I wasn't able to take a ride of the bike. It was just only about a month ago when I got to ride a bike again. The feeling was really great. It's as if I'm back to those days when I don't have to worry about a lot of things at school. It's as if I'm back to my childhood days. And I wished I could just go back and take a long ride on my bike again.<br />
Just this morning (Oct. 24) I've seen the bike we had. 'twas on the back yard, it's tires were flat, the one was detached from the frame, and was starting to rust. Then again, I missed riding that bike. I missed going through humps and bumps in some streets. I missed taking a tour around the village and feeling the air and some dust particles on my face. Then I craved for riding the bike again.<br />
Suddenly, something popped into my mind. I am riding the bike. Oh, yes! I'm still on my bike. And I've crossed a lot of humps and bumps as I journey along the streets. I was taken out of balance somewhere along the road. Yet I was able to move on and the journey with my bike still goes on. And now, I know better 'bout what to do when I need to cross some humps or when I get into rocky roads. It's holding on to my bike and never losing the focus and balance. The road may seem too tough at times, but I can make it as long as I take focus in getting to my destination and staying on balance at the same time. The good thing about it is that whenever I fall because of losing focus and balance, I could always stand up, pick up my bike and ride on it again. 'cause once we knew how to ride the bike and take a balance on it, we will always be able to ride and take a balance on it again.<br />
Now, I realized that I didn't leave my bike as I left my childhood. I was riding on it all along. And my journey's gonna be far and long.D.Renewed.Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14602115061857569527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513860441412960710.post-10671277406674827712009-10-23T23:07:00.000+08:002009-10-23T23:07:04.088+08:00This Is How We Overcome<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Wherever You may lead I will follow.<br />
I have made the choice to listen for Your voice,<br />
Wherever You may lead I will go.<br />

Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle stream,<br />
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.<br />
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep,<br />
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.<br />
<br />
Shepherd of my soul Oh You have made me whole,<br />
Where’er I hear You call how my tears flow.<br />
How I feel your love how I want to serve<br />
I gladly give my heart to You O – Lord.<br />
<br />
Be it in the flowing river or in the quiet night,<br />
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.<br />
Should I face the stormy weather or the dangers of this world.<br />
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.</span><br />

Plans have to be changed. A dream must be surrendered in exchange for a greater dream and purpose that is in accordance to His will. But there's that peace that lives in my heart and I know that He's the reason for such peace. I'm truly amazed by what He makes me feel despite the things happening. Indeed, we cannot totally surpass, fathom or understand His great plans. They just lead us to full trust and faith in Him.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04;">According to Jim Stovall's </span><i><span style="color: #783f04;">The Ultimate Gift</span></i><span style="color: #783f04;">, "Any challenge that does not defeat us ultimately strengthens us." "If we are not allowed to deal with small problems, we will be destroyed by slightly larger ones. When we come to understand this fact, we live our lives not avoiding problems, but welcoming them as challenges that will strengthen us so that we can be victorious in the future."</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Whatever I am facing at the moment, I believe this one's a preparation for the fulfillment of His greater purpose. It's another way or shall I say a privilege of experiencing His grace, as this happens for the glory of His name. My strength comes from the Lord alone. He's my refuge, my rock and my portion forever!</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04;">I'm challenged to do more now; to serve Him all the more. The challenge signifies more things are to come. The multitudes are coming! And by His grace nothing, not a problem or any circumstance can stop me in chasing my dreams [the multitudes].</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I am having revelations through the techie world now. First was through a text message from </span></span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Norre</span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">(one of my cell members)</span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">. The message goes likes this "Jesus is like a software, He 'enters' your life, 'scans' your problems, 'edits' your tension, 'downloads' solutions, 'deletes' your worries and 'saves' you." Then another was from </span></span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Ptr</span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">. </span></span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Dence's</span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> preaching last </span></span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">September's</span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> Youth Reload Big Event (ui, Hijas na for this month's big event! be excited! Oct. 31, 2009@BCC, 6pm.) His points were (1)password-Jesus is the password or the key to salvation, (2)process-we must continually be transformed by His grace, (3)display-God's glory must shine through us wherever we may be, (4)home-we must always go back to the Cross, to Jesus' feet, (5)shutdown/hibernate/log out-serving God must never shutdown, it's for eternity and must not sleep mode or standby.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Now I would choose the OS."O.S. or operating system is an interface between hardware and user which is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the resources of the computer that acts as a host for computing applications run on the machine."(</span></span><a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">http://www.wikipedia.org/</span></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">) Well, ano nga bang nasa OS at bakit ito pa naisip kung gawan ng post.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2005/10/03/building_the_ultimate_home_theater_pc/motherboards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><img border="0" height="179" src="http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2005/10/03/building_the_ultimate_home_theater_pc/motherboards.jpg" width="200" /></span></span></a><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Now, here it is. We are the hardware or the computer itself. We might have the best specs or features such as a 2gb RAM or higher, a 160gb, 250gb HDD or so, a 21" flat screen or LCD monitor, and a lot more yet these will only be useless without having any OS installed. That is, we really must have Jesus installed in our lives. If not, our lives will just be nothing, worthless and we cannot perform the purpose or the reason why we exist. All the riches, the beauty and fame are nothing, when your life is not with the right OS. At times, the system bugs down, could be corrupted and infected with much viruses, spywares, etc. And the good thing is, we always have the choice of having our units reformatted. Yes! There is an option. It's whether we stick to a unit that hangs up, that processes slowly, that can't perform well, a system infected with different kinds of viruses or just reformat the unit.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">As we allow our units [lives] to be reformatted, there are a lot of things to let go and be deleted. Files that are infected must be removed. They must be removed, else, the same problem will occur to our beloved units, again and again. Same thing in our lives, we must let go of the things that are corrupt and allow them to be replaced with the things that are in line with His will. After that, the installation of the OS along with the new softwares and applications must be done. To have the best performing unit, install only the softwares and applications which are needed and very important. Identify what is needed and important, and don't allow those that are not needed to be installed, else they eat up a portion of the memory and HDD which contributes to the low performance or slow loading of the unit. If you want to get right with the Lord, if you want to be excellent in the ministry, you must not entertain activities, thoughts, etc. that you know would take a part of your zeal and passion in serving Him. As these stuffs are installed, the unit is also renewed, reconstructed. As we allow Jesus to be installed in our lives, and allow only the right people and things get into our lives, we are a new creation. We can now perform well in doing what He has purposely made us for. But it doesn't end there. Getting right with the Lord has always a process, and it must be done consistently. There's what we call maintenance. For our units to be kept clean from corrupted files, we must scan the system, and the scanner must always be updated. And before allowing a third-party site/unit, etc. to get connected with our units, we scan them first if they are free from viruses, or any corrupted files. How do we apply these in our lives? First, we update our scanners/antivir, right? We must update ourselves by downloading the Word everyday. We must get into the Word daily. The Word itself scans our lives, cleanses us, teaches us what to do and how to get right all the more, and takes away any corrupt mindset and wickedness in us. The next is, as we allow people to get into our lives, we're not the ones scanning them. We only help them to get right with the Lord by sharing to them the Word. Then the Lord will be the One who will work in their lives. Through that, they too will be reformatted, or cleansed. Then, the cycle must go on and on. The updates must not be stopped!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Having low performances? Is the loading slow? Get into the Word now. And if it's really necessary to have a reformat, contact Him, get connected with the Programmer, the Technician of our lives. Allow Him to do what He has to do in you. Then, you will never be the same again.</span></span><br />

Then i tried to understand it through context clues and finally confirmed the meaning through the online translator in google. So, what does it really mean? </span><i><span style="color: purple;">kagyat </span></i><span style="color: purple;">is a Filipino word, which means immediate or urgent. I often heard the word last August, as used by some students of the university </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: purple;">(Unibersidad ng Pilipinas)</span></span><span style="color: purple;">. Sabi pa nila, "tayong mga kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. Nararapat lang ang ating pagkilos sa kagyat na pagbabago." Anong klaseng pagkilos kaya 'yon? We'll i don't need to mention it. Alam niyo na kung anong ibig sabihin nila sa pagkilos na 'yon.</span><br />
</div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">We'll here's my point. Tama naman sila sa pagsasabing nararapat nga na kagyat tayong kumilos. Dahil tayo nga naman talaga ang pag-asa ng bayan. Kinakailangan nga lang natin 'tong patotohanan sa pamamagitan ng ating pananalita kaakibat ang paggawa. Kung </span><i><span style="color: purple;">kagyat </span></i><span style="color: purple;">na pagbabago ang hangad natin para sa bayan, tayo mismo sa ating mga sarili ang </span><i><span style="color: purple;">kagyat</span></i><span style="color: purple;"> na magbago.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">Nararapat na iwasan na natin ang pagtuturuan. Huwag na nating isisi pas sa kahit kanino ang naging kahinatnan ng ating bansa ngayon o kung ano man tayo ngayon. Tayo mismo ang nararapat na tumayo't tumulong para sa muling pagbangon ng ating bansa. Paano nga ba gawing posible ang lahat ng ito. Simple lang naman. Umaayos ka! Lahat ay nagsisimula sa sarili. "</span><i><span style="color: purple;">If i change, everything changes.</span></i><span style="color: purple;">" We can never force everybody to change, when we, ourselves don't change. "ako mismo." And that change must not start tomorrow or the next day or the next month, year or so. It must start today, not with others but with 'myself'.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">Why should it start now? Simple lang gusto natin ng kagyat na pagbabago 'di ba? </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">Ephesians 5:15-16 says "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time because the days are evil."</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">Obadiah 1:15 also says "For the day of the Lord is near upon all nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head."</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">So we must really create a new atmosphere starting today. Have the new nature now!</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">2 Corinthians 5:17 "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; all things have passed away, behold all things have become new."</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">Have Christ in your life, and be a new creation now!</span><br />
