SIR JOEL JOHN DEGUIA CANDELARIA (SHEN JI LIANG)

Sometimes it really amazed me how facebook world gives an extraordinary excitement to everyone, because for me, facebook doesn’t really work as the source of fun.  Maybe the reason is that I’m not that pretty so there’s no excitement in posting my selfies (wahaha!) or maybe because I’m just a weird person; a very KJ person (nyahaha!) Or I think, the true reason is that I’m just irritated to the selfishness of majority, which their fb is all about themselves, not for the benefits of others.

I have no fb.  Really.  A fact.  But one wonderful day, I decided to open my lil’ sis’ fb named cutie “Kesiah.”  While browsing for almost 30 minutes, I’ve seen some persons who devote their fb to share the Gospel of Christ; I was so really, really, really blessed :) I’ve seen also some persons who devote their fb to express their love & affection to their beloved, loveones & special someone; I was so really, really, really touched :) hahaha!

After a few days…

I decided again to open Kesiah’s fb, to take a glimpse to the fb of those people who blessed & touched my heart by their unselfish posts.  While continuing browsing, I was surprised by the post of this person (in full English!) I asked Kesiah, “Who’s that man?” & she said that “That’s my teacher!”

Me: oh really! Tell him if I can have his email.

So here it is.

Wanna say an, “extra-large thank you” for being a blessing to fb world.  Honestly, inspiring sa’kin ‘yung mga person na nai-express ang ganda ng mundo at ang biyaya ng Diyos in full English.

AVODAH: VOCATION, CALLING, SERVICE

More than just means to make money, our jobs can be one vehicle for setting the world right.

Avodah connotes service. (It is also the word for slavery, which is involuntary service.) Work is not only a necessary part of life; it is a form of service to the world, to the rest of humanity, and to God. We are meant to be of service, to be partners with God in the ongoing creation of the world. Yet even as we serve God, we also serve our fellow human beings.

THANK YOU FOR NEVER LEAVING ME NO MATTER WHAT

Perhaps you’ve traveled down your own dusty road to Emmaus with circumstances leaving you confused, troubled, and depressed. Perhaps you been discouraged and wondered: Where in the world is Jesus anyway?

If so, remember this my friend, just because we cannot see Jesus or sense His
presence, does not mean that He is absent. Just because we can’t see Him
working does not mean that He isn’t.

He is walking the path with you…

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age…Matthew 28:20

He is praying for you…

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them…Hebrews 7:25

He is working on your behalf…

In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working… John 5:17

Jesus assures us with these words: “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” …Matthew 28:20

Let’s Pray:
Jesus, thank You for always being with me, for praying for me, and for working
on my behalf. Help me to not lose heart when times get tough and the road gets rough. Thank You for never leaving me…no matter what.  In Your Name I pray, Amen.

KAIBIGAN

Iba talaga yung nagagawa kapag kasama mo yung mga 

kaibigan mo no? Nawawala yung stress, worries and pain sa

 buhay mo. 

Kitain mo sila today. Kwentuhan kayo. Foodtrip. Coffee 

bonding. Gala sa mall. Punta sa Church. Share your 

problems at mga mabibigat na feelings mo. Gagaan yan. 

Irelease mo lang yang 'pain', nandiyan naman sila para 

makinig at bigyan ka ng advice.

ALAM MONG MAHAL KITA

“Lord Jesus, You knew all things about me inside and outside, You knew that I have weaknesses, alam mong ito lang ang kaya kong gawin, ngunit kahit ganito ako ay alam mong mahal kita.” 

Thank you God! You always know just how to "Wow" me!

... His moments become an ahhh of mine--Thank-you God for sharing your moments with me...

SOMETIMES, OUR LIFE SEEMS LIKE THESE…

Referring to Jesus’ friendship with Mary and Martha, Brennan Manning Writes, “Exhausted from the hurly-burly of ministry, heavyhearted with the intrigue of the Pharisees and the pettiness of the apostles, longing for female companionship, he seeks out his 2 dear friends.”

But when Martha seems more interested in preparing his supper and criticizing her sister Mary for not helping, Jesus responds: “Cool it Martha.  We’ll have the trout almondine later.  I’m worn out, lonely, empty and frightened.”

Jesus continued, “I’m heading to the Holy City and as you know, a prophet must die in Jerusalem.  So Martha, drop the frying pan, come over here, sit beside your sister Mary and hold my hand.  I need you, Martha.  Mary’s got a grip on where I’m at.  She knows that I’m fully human, have a sensitive human heart and long to be treated as a man who is human.”

SENDING YOU MY HEARTFELT CARE AND ATTENTION

Dear Friend,

Wanna say thank you for all the sincere kindness of friendship you’ve spattered to me.  Honestly and with all genuineness, you’re one of the best people I’ve ever met.  In line to that remarks, I really want to signify that I love the way you deal with me; with all of my immaturities, imperfection and flaws, not as you put your compromise to it but to give me space to grow and provide me liberty to find myself.  For me, the paradigm of amity you publicized to your friends is one of the greatest achievements you’ve done in your life.

I felt that I was so much flattered when we became friends; so much flattered that I felt also I’m not worthy to be associated with you, especially at this lowest point of my life that I formulated and done a decision that seems dim-witted in the eyes of many people.

After this decision, you will hear rumors about my leaving, thus, I absolutely accept and understand if you want to keep distance of me; that’s the consequences I must bear.  My vulnerability as a woman is now resting on its peak, so sorry.  Therefore, I didn’t acquire your high expectation of me, so forgive me.

After all, I’m the same “Yhang” you’ve met before- simple, shy, silent or mediocre.  If I still found gratifying in your eyes, I’m present in no time to be your thoughtful friend until 

HIS coming.

Sending you my heartfelt care & attention,

Yhang Florina M. Cabrera

Yhang Florina M. Cabrera

(2008-2014)

One of my greatest achievements in life is to be accepted to fulfill a divine job in one of the world’s most recognized Church – Jesus Is Our Shield Worldwide Ministries (Miracle Hour.)  Here, I had found the fulfillment of my dream since childhood days that is to serve the Lord Fulltime in His ministry.

I have enjoyed every single minute of my years as a part of mass media ministry and will forever cherish the memories and friendships I have made. I will be forever grateful for the kindness and support you people of God have shown to me through the years. JIOSWM – Main has been a wonderful place to work, and my co-workers are like family to me. I have enjoyed working with everyone and have learned a great deal.  I wish you and the rest of my team the very best for your future until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I’ve been a Christian for 24 years now and through my walk with the Lord Jesus Christ, there were times in my life where I wasn't faithful in my walk with Him. I found myself given into temptation and I have backslidden because I was weak, but have soon as I focus all my strength and mind on Him, He made me stronger because He is truly stronger. Thank you, Lord.  I will be back…

I LOVE YOU, BEYB

advance happy birthday beyb!

HUMOR-TITHING JOKE

I READ THIS IN AN INTERNET (pinoy exchange)…

MAN 1:

Lahat ng religion ganyan, pera pera lang...merong garapal, merong swabe...mas ok ang garapal, honest sila.

btw, when you give to the Lord papaano yun, ang hatian?

Ihahagis nila paitaas, lahat ng tumaas kay Lord, lahat ng bumaba para kay Pastor (pari, manalo, soriano, imam)?:D

MAN 2:

pera pera ang religion? siguro sa iba:(

pero sa mga tunay na believers ni Jesus Christ hindi pera pera kundi isinasa alang alang yung itinuro nya dito ebangheliko. Ang mga offering na binibigay ng mga members ay napupunta sa fund ng church (evangelism, church activity, rent etc..) na para sa Diyos. Kung may mga extra pa depende sa church kung nagbibigay ng allowance sa mga workers.

Kalokohan naman yung ihahagis mo paitaas yung pera. Retarded lang gagawa non...

--

ISA LANG ANG MAIRE-RESPONSE KO, THIS HUMOR-TITHING JOKE…

Two men were marooned on an Island.

One man paced back and forth worried and scared

while the other man sat back and was sunning himself. 

The first man said to the second man,

"aren’t you afraid we are about to die?"

"No," said the second man, "I make $100,000 a week

and tithe faithfully to my church every week.

My Pastor will find me."

Learnings:  

Ang mga tapat na nagiikapu ay walang ipinagaalala,

sapagkat sa panahon ng sakuna, Diyos ang kasama.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD!  IT’S GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS DAY!  GO CREATE SOMETHING MAGICAL…

ADVANCE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR BESTFRIEND...

I Love You so much Beyb.

While I am typing this, my heart broke into pieces.  Pieces that I don't know if it will be perfect whole again.
I knew that one of my major decision breaks your heart.  Decision that only me can truly understand.
I want to move away, far away so I can see my self again and to be in love once more to my calling.
It's your birthday, but it's me, taking the seat of selfishness.

Beyb- "Michele, Mitch, Mimi, Tabz..."
I LOVE YOU and you're the one who really matters why our friendship keep on existing.
On your birthday, I wish you nothing but a perfect joy comes from above to fill your heart
with excitement to the great things God has in-store for you.

Beyb Mi, I want you to know that I am blessed to have you in my life and that I love you to the moon and back!

So, Hey You – I love you and you are amazing. Now go and have an amazing day to match you!

HAPPY GLORIOUS BIRTHDAY Dear Friend.

(18 September 2014)

ENJOY MO LANG ANG LIFE. WAG KANG MASYADONG MAGPAKADEEP AT EMO. HAPPY LANG.

Great day readers!

Every day, we are bombarded by different statement in social network sites; some can ruin your simple mind, some can encourage your simple heart.  What amazed me, there are some (not so few) people who devotes their fingers to type words; word comes from their heart to express God’s love, to share His perfect will to everyone and to tell to all, “We are a child of God, entitled to be a part of His kingdom.”

One time in July of this year, I tried to open my sis’ fb. While browsing, I was surprised for the insights and understanding of this particular person. His name is LIO (Lio! Lio! Lio!)  Today, I want to share to all of you “the TEN inspiring passage” I collected in his fb…

“WE ARE what we choose to be - enRICH yourself by looking and doing the vast opportunity of life.”

“We are all common and We all have senses but not everyone make use of their common sense.”

“In life, some success is measure through income, rank and file or medals and trophy. But this week while helping people to move from being spender to saver, saver to investor and investor to entrepreneur, I learned that the sweetest success is able to see the comfort and smile of people you were able to help - IT IS PRICELESS.”

THIS IS THE FIRST VERSE I MEMORIZED, MEDITATED AND MOMENTARILY EXPERIENCED. BUT GOD WILL NEVER FORSAKEN US. WHATEVER HAPPENS, NO MATTER WHAT, WE ARE LOVE BY GOD. LET US ACCEPT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR, OUR WAY AND OUR LIFE. THE MAN BEHIND MY STRENGTH , MY LOVE AND MY COMPASSION - JESUS CHRIST (ayeeh! My greatest favorite of Lio’s posts.)

Dumaan man ang bagyo, unos at sakuna - Masaya pa din ang buhay kung sama sama at tulong tulong sa pagbangon at pagpapaunlad ang bawat mamamayan. Kay Sarap mabuhay, Kay Sarap maging Pinoy!!! (yeah!go sa go ako diyan!)

While having a conversation with my brother Ino regarding paper works on our personal transaction. I told him this line which he thinks would be beneficial to all, so he told me to post this one and here it is - BE A PROBLEM SOLVER NOT A PROBLEM WORRIER. 

We are fighting a harder fight... a war against poverty & mismanagement of money. Together, let's educate the WORLD! (wow, exciting!)

Three Important consideration for a lifetime partner:
1) A God fearing Man/ Woman 
2) Good Provider (Financially and Time)
3) Commitment

Mom holding hands with his son at the jeep. I smile at him and he smile back, his mom smile back to me too.  Smile is very powerful. It could change the day to a better one. SMILE even if your world is failing you coz one day your world would SMILE back at you :)

Pray for all people who are searching and starting anew, for those who find and seek their path, for all those who is fulfilling and for those who have achieved their success. (Let’s be an Intercessor)

LIO, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU INSPIRE US SO MUCH.

We are in a blissful day!

THANK YOU, LIO

Friend "Lio,"

Today is one of your great day.

For being you, for being a daily blessing to fb world,

Just want to send my compliments;

You are vibrant in your uniqueness.

You are forever blessed!

Thank you and have a blissful day:)

THE ONE REASON FOR QUITTING I'LL NEVER BE MAD ABOUT

We've hired just over 60 people in my company's history. Today, we're at 50 and still hiring. But as the math suggests, at least 10 of my employees have left or been asked to leave.

The first loss was the most difficult. We let our very first employee go due to poor performance. Each subsequent firing hurt my soul a little less, as I learned to couch things in my mind in terms of what would help the rest of the team when I was confronted with the shocked look on the face of anyone who's just been told he's no longer got a job. But it still sucked.

Then, when we were perhaps a dozen people, a brilliant programmer of ours sat us (the founders) down one morning and said he was quitting. Initially, I was stunned. You can't fireus! Losing him would put us in a bind, as we had product to build and competitors to stay ahead of.

Then he told us his reason: "I've been dreaming of starting my own company, and a friend and I have finally decided to do it." That changed everything. Not only could I no longer bring myself to try to persuade him to stay, but I also no longer wanted him to stay. How could we encourage someone to not do the very thing that we did ourselves that had brought us so much fulfillment?

After we said our goodbyes, and he started his startup, I realized that in a way this was exactly the kind of employee we wanted: entrepreneurial, hungry. It seemed to be part of our DNA, because nearly every one of the other employees who have quit on us since did so to build something: a school, a startup, a team. It occurred to me that if we wanted to cultivate a company that rewarded the kind of thinking that leads to breakthroughs, we'd have to understand that some of our employees would be driven enough to eventually want to do their own thing. And that had to be all right with us.

Now, I'm not saying that I want my employees to start companies and quit. What I am saying is that I'm not distressed when I learn that an employee has a side project. Nor will I be mad if after a couple of years of working with us (and hopefully learning a lot!) she says, "I'm turning my side project into a company." In fact, I think it's inevitable.

If the reason you're quitting has something to do with the company or environment we've built, then I want to talk about it, make things right. We hire carefully and hate to lose great people. But if the reason you're quitting has something to do with a dream you want to build, then there's no discussion necessary. Other than, perhaps, "How can we help?"

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY

Let’s Pray:
Heavenly Father, I come to You today and humbly ask Your forgiveness for all of the times that I’ve taken my burdens to others instead of bringing them to You.  Help me to turn to You first when problems come my way. Please blanket my heart with your peace and give me strength for today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

THE SON IS THE SUN OF OUR LIVES

To reflect the light of God’s presence in a dark and damaged world, we have to stay close to the source: the Son. The more we let his light shine into our eyes and reflect into the eyes of others, the more we become like him. “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Let’s be keepers of God’s light—ensuring that the light of his love burns
brightly. We can also reflect that light into the lives of others. It only
takes a small beacon of light to dispel the darkness.

I’M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND

I’ve been in love with my best friend for almost 3 years now (2011-2014). I want to stop being in love with him; I want to stop thinking that things will change and one day we’ll be together. I know it’s unhealthy to think this way, but I can’t get over him. He means a lot to me and I know I mean a lot to him, but I need to get over him. I feel the best solution for both of us would be to cut him out of my life, but I don’t want to cut him out of my life, he’s my best friend. What can I do? This situation has been causing me great stress and sadness. Depression has always been a struggle for me throughout we became friends in 2011, but I’ve become a lot sadder the past year over this man. I’ve tried dating other guys in hopes of getting over him but I can’t seem to find someone else that compares. I feel really lonely too, all the time.  Sometimes, I want to decide not to see him anymore, but it’s impossible because we’re attending the same Church.

Answer: The question to ask yourself is whether you care enough about your friend to let him go. Where that leaves you is grieving the “what if guy” in your life. It’s a real grief. If things were different, something more than friendship might have developed between you two but you’ll never know. It’s important that you give yourself room to grieve. Then it’s equally important to do whatever you need to do to move on. Dating others won’t work as long as you are still holding out hope for your “what if guy.” Your heart isn’t in it. The guys you date sense that you just aren’t into them.

Find a way to take some distance from your guy friend. Wish him all the best in the world. Then start putting yourself into activities that genuinely interest you where you can start getting to know other guys. Working together is a perfect way to get to know people well without jumping right into dating. You’re not ready for that. But you do need to get busy enough so that you’re not tempted to isolate and get depressed. The antidote to loneliness is to be with other people.

I understand this is terribly hard. I do sympathize. But I also think real friendship sometimes calls for real sacrifice. I hope you will do your grief work and then give yourself the chance to find the guy who is out there waiting for you.

I wish you well.
Dr. Marie
