GOD'S TEACHING TO ME AND TO YOU

Good day! Here I am again. I just wanna share my blessing. I woke up this morning with so much questions to myself and I paused for awhile then I prayed to God. I believe and trust God in everything I do but this time I made a mistake and He made me realized that making a decision alone without consulting it to Him is a big blunder. All of us have it's own strenghts and weaknesses. I asked Him to help me what should I do and show me his answer by reading the Purpose Driven Life Book. It's an awesome experienced, He didn't dissapoint me! :) His message to me in Seeing Life From God's View:

It says there that, "Life on earth is test. Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test. You are always being tested. God constantly watches your response to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, dissapointment, and even the weather. We don't know all the tests God will give you, but we can predict some of them, based on the Bible. You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies. A very important test is how you act when you can't feel God's presence in your life. Sometimes God intentionally draws back, and we don't sense his closeness (The Bible says, God withdrew you in order to test you and to see what was really in your heart.) When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life. Every day is an important day, and every second is a growth opportunity to deepen your character, to demonstrate love, or to depend on God. The good news is that God wants you to pass the tests of life, so he never allows the tests you face to be greater than the grace He gives you to handle them."

By this quote, He gave me some insights how to survive and pass the tests. It's very cleared to me that in every problems we have, it helps us to deepen and mold our character on how we dwell to it. I am so delighted and thankful that God cares and loves me. Always talk to God in every second, minute, and hour of your life. That's the secret to have a meaningful life ^_^

LIVE..LOVE..LAUGH

Hi bloggers! It's been a long weeks since I've decided not to post my new entry here. Actually, this past few weeks I'm sick, tired, confused, and in pain. It's so hard for me to decide and let things go (to let go of someone I really love) but that's the reality and the only thing I can do is to face it. There's a lot of things coming in and out on my mind, lot of questions to myself, thinking what IF... and confused in so many things. I don't know if my decision was good or bad, the only thing I know is IT WON'T NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. I know everything happens for a reason and God knows what reason and purpose is that. I tried to fix this problem alone and lay it in the right place but I think it didn't work. I realized that if you had a problem in your relationship, the partners must work it together. I always pray to God that I want him to be my future and still I'm praying for it but i don't know if it's still happen after all these things. God only knows that.

Inspite and despite of all my worries and fears i took all the consequences because I loved him. I never thought and said to myself that it's not worthy because I learned a lot from him. People won't see that but I'm still thankful and happy when I met him and became part of my life. (See how love runs into my life) hehehe...I believe and trust God that for Him "All things are possible." I had read in the Purpose Driven Book that, you may feel you are facing an impossible situation, but the Bible says "God...is able to do more far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thouhgts, or hopes." I was reminded just how easy it is to slip into distance, disconnection and disharmony with the people around me and what a gift it is to have another opportunity to heal what is unhealed inside me. Always remember that when you love, there are four things you need to give importance (communication, time, love, and attention).

I read this to the site of Susie and Otto Collins it says there that, "It isn't always easy to do--but one of the keys to healing any situation in your life when there is pain is to find ways to allow yourself to feel all of your feelings--whatever they are--and to acknowledge that the pain is there. We've discovered that physical pain can and usually does mask emotional pain. When we can recognize what's underneath our physical pain, acknowledge it and maybe talk about it, both the emotional and physical pain begins to lessen. The idea is to shift your attention to be with your pain, to feel it and allow yourself to move through it, giving you another opportunity to heal perhaps something deeper than you realized. It may mean getting some support in the way of therapy to help you move through your pain and heal a broken heart--or it might be taking some time to meditate, do some journaling, talk to a friend or take a walk by yourself in the woods." And yes, I agreed.

In right time and in God's right time everything will be fine.

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009!

Let me share this with a short and simple message..

Today is the year of 2009, YEAR of the OX! This is the time to forget and forgive..I mean, forget the bad things that we experienced and forgive the people who did something wrong to us. What we need to do now is move on and face the new year of our life. Let's prepare ourselves this year for new experiences that we will be facing. Let's goodbye the 2008 and welcome the 2009. There may be a lot of changes that will happen this year. We didn't know what would it be because only God knows about it. Let's thank God for this wonderful blessing that He added a new year to our life.

I have lots of dull and joyful moments last year but if i will measure it, dull moment is the most highest. Anyway, I don't want to talk and reminisce it because it just happened. Well, this year, I prayed that there will be a lot of things that will change. I want my days more exciting and surprising. Also, I thanked God for everything. I moved on already and ready to face the new chapter of my life ;) More blessings to my family and to me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and God bless to all of you!

what do we really need for christmas?

Hi bloggers! Celebrating CHRISTmas was very memorable to all of us..I wasn't able to post new entry few weeks ago because of my busy schedule with my family. Also because of the out of town trip with my friend in Tagaytay ;) That's very awesome to spent to their house! Anyway, go back to my topic..Have you ever think or ask to yourself this question? "What do I really need for CHRISTmas?" Maybe some of might think of this but others not.

These are the things that we really need..

We need holy time, a sense of life's deeper meaning, to devote time to pray together, mend ways and forgive and forget as God gave for us. We need space for seeing life as it is, for seeing the millions of people in the world who are starving to death because of extremely poverty and those victims of calamities and the millions who are dying of simple diseases. Ultimately, we need the CHRIST of CHRISTmas and renewal of our inner being. We need to hear and receive the message of Christmas, that God has entered the human arena to dwell with us, that His presence is consequently here and available to us now, that we are not alone, spinning out our destinies..., and that all our days are spent before God who poured all that He was and is and will be through His one and only Son. We need to surrender our lives to Christ, who is the real Gift of Christmas. What I mean is, I am talking about all of us. That is the way it ought to be for us at Christmas. Jesus Christ is our precious inheritance; our joy and peace.

My prayer is that in all the frenzy and noise of the season, may God help us to find our way home; and having found it, let us never lose it. Through Christ, who was born to show us the way. A blessed CHRISTmas day to all of you ;)

MARINDUQUE



Hi bloggers! After few days of spending in my province, I'm here again in manila. I spent 3 nights and 4 days there with my parents and my sis. I was so excited when we got there at 2 a.m in the morning, I just said to myself "I can't imagine, I'm here again after 2 years." I couldn't explain the happiness I felt. I spent my time in taking of photos of the beautiful spots there, visiting my relatives, walking and smelling the fresh air in the seashore every morning, and exploring everything in that place. My cousin and I travelled around balanacan; we went to the peak of the church to see the whole spot; we sauntered to the sea if it is low tide; we went together to the market to buy fish, seafoods, vegetables, etc. People there are very hospitable, nice and approachable. I had seen some tourists there walking and taking photos. Here are some informations about our province, MARINDUQUE. It is an agricultural province, primarily growing rice and coconuts. It is also a place for handicrafts that is now being exported to dıfferent parts of the world. It is an island province of the Philippines located in the MIMAROPA region in Luzon. Its capital is Boac. Marinduque lies between Tayabas Bay to the north and Sibuyan Sea to the south. It is located south and west of Quezon, east of Mindoro, and north of Romblon. Marinduque is a heart-shaped island situated about eleven miles from the main island of Luzon. It is 370 square miles making it the thirteenth largest island in the Philippine archipelago. Marinduqueños are of Tagalog origin and speak Tagalog. However, because of the island's proximity to the Visayas region, the Marinduqueño variant of Tagalog has many words that are Visayan origin and are not comprehensible to other Tagalog speakers. Traces of Bicolano can also be found in this variant. Filipino and English are also well understood. Actually, 1 day is not enough to travel this place.

Their are many things to see and do on this relatively sleepy island, in the heart of the Philippines. Famed tourist destinations to see are the Bathala Caves (Santa Cruz), the Tawi-Tawi Falls (Santa Cruz), White Beach (Poctoy), Tres Reyes Marine Sanctuary (Tres Reyes Islands) and the Sulfar Spings, (Santa Cruz.). If you need directions or how to reach these destinations, asking the locals is the best thing to do. Generally, most marinduqueno’s know these destinations, and if they don’t, they will more than likely ask around to find out the information for you. If all else fails, the Jeepney drivers are best when it comes to these tourist destinations.

The Tres Reyes Marine Sanctuary is arguebly the best spot for diving, and one of the must-see places of Marinduque. The area is located at the south-western part of the island province, consisting of the three (3) islets of Gaspar, Melchor and Baltazar. Skin and scuba diving is the best outdoor activity on this sanctuary. In between the first islet of Gaspar and the mainland, a sunken Chinese commercial junk of the Sung and Chang Dynasty was discovered. Recovered by a joint team of National Museum and private foreign salvage group were numerous porcelain plates, jars, skillets and others.On the third islet of Baltazar, is an underwater cave on its eastern part 60 to 90 feet deep. Wall drift diving is at its best early in the morning where variety of coral and some pelagic fishes would be clearly visible.. Occasional schools of hammerhead sharks pass the western depths of the islets. An American built lighthouse still stands and still working on the center of the islet.
