overcoming by His grace

Isang gabi nang marining ko ang mga katagang "Di bale ng sobra, basta 'wag lang magkulang." Nangyari ito nang minsang pauwi na ako galing YR Rock with my 2 girls. 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, "Di bale ng sobra, basta 'wag lang magkulang. 'di ba?" dun ko rin naisip. "oo nga noh? 'di bale na ngang sobra ang binibigay mo kaysa naman kulang. " 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-- family, discipler, s. sissies, disciple/s, friends, 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 bay...

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

I used to ride a bike when I was just a kid. 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....

I am having revelations through the techie world now. First was through a text message from Norre (one of my cell members) . 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 Ptr . Dence's preaching last September's 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. Now I would choose the OS."O.S. or operating system i...

The first time i heard the word kagyat  , i didn't know what it means. 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? kagyat is a Filipino word, which means immediate or urgent. I often heard the word last August, as used by some students of the university  (Unibersidad ng Pilipinas) . 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. 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 kagyat na pagbabago ang hangad natin para sa bayan, tayo mis...
