26 JUNE 2015

It was such a big day for my brother – Aldrin. He will make a vow before God and men. It is his wedding day. I was so much happy for him.

Not knowing…
It was also a big day for me.

After that wedding ceremony…
Ptra Rhoda: Yhang, Tatay Apostle is waiting on you at his table. Come on!
At Tatay Apostle’s table:
Tatay: How are you?
Me: I’m okay, Tatay.
Tatay: When will you come back to Westpoint?
Me: I didn’t know yet, Tatay.

Tatay: That must not be your answer. After Jesus died, his disciples backslide. After Jesus rose again from the dead, He meets the disciples at the sea. He talked to them sincerely. After these, immediately, the disciples came back to their calling and follow Jesus again. That must be your attitude. Come back now before it’s too late. Jesus is coming so soon, so He is waiting for your return so soon.

DEAR ATE YHANG

You really touched the deepest part of my soul.
You are so unique.
Your life is so wonderful.
Truly the love & mercy of God wraps upon your being.
You are one of the spices that make the taste of everyone’s life complete.
You are one of the colors that make every substance complete & beautiful.
Maraming salamata talaga sa buhay mo teyhang.
Kakaiba ka talaga sa mundong ito.
Such a great blessing to me.

DEAR MIMI

You’d never known how to accept a compliment gracefully.

You are hard to please by many suitors.

You are tactless and fearless in your words.

You are an attractive, intelligent and caring woman.

        I really admire those attitudes, hoping & wishing sometimes I could be like that.

JUST LIKE A TREE

Ang isang puno ay nakatayo at dahil siya ay nakatayo ay wala siyang ibang choice sa ayaw at sa gusto niya, dadaanan at dadaanan siya ng sikat ng araw at ng matinding ulan, bagyo o malakas  na hangin.  Sa ayaw at sa gusto ng puno na nakatayo, lahat ng iba’t ibang klima, pagbabago ng klima ay dadaanan siya nito.

        Dadapuan siya ng iba’t ibang uri ng ibon lalo na kung ang  punong ito ay nakatayo sa gitna ng kagubatan.  Subject siyang pugaran ng iba’t ibang uri ng ibon.  Kung matibay ang ugat ng puno at mahigpit ang kapit sa lupa, hindi siya mabubuwal kahit na gaano katinding hangin o bagyo ang dumating.

        Ganyan ang buhay ng tao.  Subject siya na daanan ng lahat ng bagyo ng buhay, iba’t ibang uri ng pagsubok at problema.  Maraming iba’t ibang nilalang din ang puwedeng pumisan sa kanya, sumama at manatili pansamantala at pagkatapos ay mawala.  Hindi ba ang ibon sa puno ay ganoon din? Mananatili pansamantala dahil dumating siya minsan at pagkatapos ay lilipad muli, maglalakbay patungo kung saan.  Ngunit naitanong kaya ng mga iba’t ibang uri ng ibon kung ano ang kalagayan ng iniwan niyang puno? Ang punong matibay at matatag, iwanan man ng iba’t ibang uri ng ibon na sumilong sa kanya at namugad ay mananatili pa rin siya sa kanyang kinalalagyan lalo na kung mahigpit ang kapit ng kanyang ugat sa lupa at ano mang oras na ibigin o mithiin ng ibong muling bumalik, ang puno ay naroon pa rin, nakatayo at naghihintay lamang.

        I am just like a tree.  Many friends came but somehow, somewhere, they were gone.  They went on their own way, but I’m still waiting for the one whom I love… my friends who touched my soul, and equipped my heart to love.  I’m still waiting for them to come back and restore our friendship.  Naghihintay lang ako.  Sana balikan niya ang iniwang friendship.

        I am just like a tree.  Marami ng pagsubok ng buhay ang dumaan, marami ng bagyo ng buhay ang dumating ngunit sa habag at biyaya ng Lord ay nakatayo pa rin dahil ang pundasyon ay ang ating Panginooong Hesu-Kristo.

        Darating ang panahon na magsasalita din ang puso, matututo din siyang lumaban kaya magiging malakas na malakas na siya hanggang makalimutan niya na minsan siya ay naging mahina.  Mag-uumapaw ang kagalakan dahil naghari ng ganap ang totoong pag-ibig.

“RELATIONSHIP”

In this world full of chaos and abnormalities, unpredictable tragedies and sudden death, it is wise to seek spiritual guidance from church’s leaders in order for them to guide us in prayer and words of hope. Spiritual guidance also includes group discipleship. The church leader will create an atmosphere of heaven in the midst of people with tears, with weeping and of emotions full of burden. This emotion brings forth release of burden of fears; fear of the unknown, anxiety and uncertainty from this troubled world. Also, group discipleship builds words of wisdom that helps the member of the church to overcome fear. Spiritual guidance also includes one-on-one counseling.  Because every member has its own struggles, this setting is powerful tool for the member to deliver his/her deepest struggle for the coming age and deepest fear for the future.  By the end of this setting, the spiritual leader will then deliver his/her from all darkness and surely, the member will go home full of inner peach and joy. That’s why it so important that the relations between the church leader and the church member become solid so that the spiritual guidance may flow freely to everyone.
God is the author of relationship.  He created Adam and Eve to be a part of His creation.  It is true that without men, God can live but without God, men cannot live. Why? For God is the author of life.  Through Him, all things were created.  Because God is our Creator, it is a must that our relationship in Him in everyday of our lives is always fresh, full of fragrance and meaning.  In God, we can find true inner peace and joy that no man has the ability to provide.  In God, we can find eternal life that no powerful world leader has the ability to give.  When our world is failing and all our relationship with human fails just ran to God.  Only Him, again, only Him can make your heart whole again and be completely healed.  Just call Him and He will answer.  For that to be truly effective, you must learn to fall in love with your Creator.  Deepen your relationship to Him through constant and sincere communication in prayer.  Then and only then, you will find the satisfaction of heart and total peace of mind you have ever wanted.
Long and lasting relationships start with our immediate family.  They are the source if undying relationship.  Friends and best friends will turn their back to you, people you’ve encountered for a long time will forget your feelings, but your family will still and will always be right there for you.  It is true that they were family conflicts most of the time and lack of communication for days, months or even years, but the truth still remains the truth – family ties will never be broken.  Flesh and blood is flesh and blood – nothing can separate this kind of bonds.
Awesome relationship shines with intense brightness when you are with your significant other or friends.  Every time we see them, we can’t deny that we feel something that was hard to express.  It is a feeling of awesomeness! In them, we feel very, very, very sooo special! They are the substitute of long-lasting relationship when a member of the family goes back to Creator.
Relationship built in love will only succeed if it will be expressed through unceasing, not just sincere, generous and honest love, but in sacrificial love.  Sacrificial means – sacrificing your life even to death for the sake of the one you love.  It is a selfless love.  Even without expecting any return, you will continue to love.  Even if it cost you everything, still that love will be seen.  It is hard sometime to admit, but only an act of sacrificial love will remain, perhaps, forever.
Relationship will not be called “relationship” if the word “support” doesn’t twin to it.  Support him/her in bad times or in good times.  Support them in sunny days or in rainy days.  Supportive words and actions from the one you love results to a feeling of you are well-loved, well-protected and well-guided.
Relationship is useless and meaningless if there is no dedication.  Dedication is the color of the relationship.  Waking in the morning with a lot of text messages and emails saying “happy birthday!” was really great!  Sitting at the office with a gift on your desk was really wonderful! A dedication of thought brings great joy.  A dedication of your presence every time they need you and seeing your presence surprisingly adds hundreds of different colors to the relationship.
Trusting in supernatural is not a weird thing.  Seeing all your dreams come true, seeing all your wishes granted and prayers all answered is somewhat, believe it or not, were all sent by a benevolent angels from above.  They might be an angel of God or an angel at heart.  Because you expressed charitable, friendly, generous and humane acts, your benevolent angels in secret are always ready to do goodwill and kindly feelings for you.  My advice: always ready to do good works so your relationship with the benevolent angels always surprise youJ
Every person has a calling.  But when an archangel visits you, it means that your calling is supreme.  When the archangel always visits you, it means a lot.  He wants to build a friendly relationship with you in order for your supreme calling not be postponed or be delayed.  My motivating words for you: if an angel of the highest rank called archangel visits you, don’t be in reluctance.  Just obey whatever he tells you to do.
