Wisdom Just In Time

Lately, I've been confused and feel pressured on how to prepare myself in choosing the right words to say and the right things to do the moment I'll be applying for a job next year. But, thanks God, He has provided me the wisdom that I need to get through with it.

Do not worry about how or what you are to say;
for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.
Matthew 10:19

Do you know what I've discovered about the Lord? He doesn't give wisdom on credit. He doesn't advance you a bundle of insight... Do you know when He gives us words and wisdom and insight? Right when we need them. At the very instant they are required.

Sometimes, you find yourself in a situation you never anticipated, and couldn't prepare for. Suddenly, you're at one of the scenarios in which you have said or done something that you have not yet imagined. Yes, it's illogical. You can't grasp the right words before but the moment you are there, you have already chosen the best words to say. That's how mysterious God's ways are. We just have to be patient and trust whole heartedly.

Loving Him Unexpectedly

Love is an unconditional thing.
Learning to love is truly a blessing.

Last April 4, 2008 , Erwin and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary.

On my way...

I have already planned to surprise him that day, hehe, but unfortunately it was not happened... (it was too ideal and became far from re-al) hhmm.... it's all because of the traffic I have experienced and the problem of waiting for available seat that I could have in jeepneys.. wheeww!! it was really a tiring start...

Thanks God! I have successfully arrived at SM the block to have a lunch with him:)
I saw him while he was sunbathing... hehe... (tama bang magpainit sa ilalim ng naglalagablab na araw??) well, that's worthy to be appreciated:) thanks for that mahal q:)

While having lunch...


We ate lunch at tokyo tokyo... and there it goes..
while he and I were reading some stuff and waiting for our order...
he asked for it... *blush* *blush*
I thumbed up... (haha ang gulo ng answer).. simple yes perhaps:)
Indeed, it's a remarkable scene for me:) we're officially backed with each other's arms again:)

then random things happened separately for us... because he has classes and I went to our sub-office...

Then I waited for him before going home...:)

************

Just want to share my wonderful experience with the man whom always makes me smile:)
Erwin is such a great blessing that God has given me. He is always there to give me strength and courage for me to be able to stumble upon on things that I need to be discovered, lifting me up when I was abruptly pulled down by certain circumstances. Providing the different jokes that would probably makes me laugh continually. Giving the right advices and inspires me when time asks for. Constantly supporting me when I need some cheer. Loving me sincerely as I have never imagined.
(I hope that I am doing the same way)


I thank God so much for letting me know such person who could probably ease and put away the pains I had when I am experiencing sad moments.
I have never thought that I could have a chance to love someone this way. It was just happened unexpectedly. God really knows the right time for everything. For when I will experience something that I have never imagined.






It's really an overwhelming experience to love and to be loved.

I love you mahal ko:)

I simply entrust this love story to you, Lord God:)

An Inspiring Story of a Great Leader

“At the age of seven, a young boy and his family were forced out of their home. The boy had to work to support his family. At the age of nine, his mother passed away. When he grew up, the young man was keen to go to law school, but had no education.

At 22, he lost his job as a store clerk. At 23, he ran for state legislature and lost. The same year, he went into business. It failed, leaving him with a debt that took him 17 years to repay. At 27, he had a nervous breakdown.

Two years later, he tried for the post of speaker in his state legislature. He lost. At 31, he was defeated in his attempt to become an elector. By 35, he had been defeated twice while running for Congress. Finally, he did manage to secure a brief term in Congress, but at 39 he lost his re-election bid.

At 41, his four-year-old son died. At 42, he was rejected as a prospective land officer. At 45, he ran for the Senate and lost. Two years later, he lost the vice presidential nomination. At 49, he ran for Senate and lost again.

At 51, he was elected the President of the United States of America.

The man in question: Abraham Lincoln.”
— Author Unknown

This article is really exceptional. Knowing a great leader came across through enormous failures in his life but still not afraid to try again and again to succeed. Indeed, failure is not a hindrance but, instead, it's a great opportunity to learn and ponder on it. I remember the moment I've read a topic related on this, it says people who are experiencing success right now are those people who had lots of mistakes, flunks, and failures. They are the individuals who became brave enough to handle things in the right manner. These people are, definitely, a good example to all of us. Being optimistic is a very good attitude of every leaders and successful persons in the world. Looking negative things positively is really a necessity. Life is indeed a matter of choice. Opting what's best for us and would probably harm us. We must be a good driver of our own car. It's up to us if we will turn left or right if an obstacle came on our way. But the very best to do is to keep the right faith to the one who Created us. To glorify Him in everything we do. Because whenever we are doing our very best in every task He has given us, we are pleasing Him as well. Because we are using the gifts of talents and abilities that would eventually glorify HIM whenever we are sharing these stuff with other people.

We can be successful and a good leader in our wonderful ways:)

Just have the right attitude into it!

A Celebration With Magno Family ^_^

It was all happened yesterday, March 28, 2008. It was a celebration for the graduation of Charles, the youngest brother of my beloved Erwin:)

Erwin and I went to Dencio's to have a lunch together with his family.
Then...
After eating a lot of foods, we went to time zone for some enjoyment:)
Next..
To the Red Box as our last destination:) { the kantahan to the max moment}



This day, I have enjoyed a lot being with there company:)
It was a wonderful experience to bond with them:)
I've had a lot of fun:) saya kasi nila kasama eh:)
hehe, apparent nga daw na masaya me eh sabi ni Tita Zeny:)
well, the happiness I've had was really expressed easily.
Bakit hindi, eh they were all kind and generous people:)
God is so great to let me be with them and have some treasured moments:)


Through this incomparable experience, He helped me to be at ease with Erwin's family:)
Just like what Ate Rizel has said, seemingly they have a new sister:)
I'm so glad that now I'm okay with them ^_^
All my worries before that they, perhaps, would not like me is now already vanished:)
God really blessed our relationship:)
Thank you Lord:)
I love you so much:)

Not One Lost Moment

Be careful how you walk,
not as unwise men, but as wise.
EPHESIANS 5:15

I've read this from wisdom for the way by Charles R. Swindoll.
Just want to share this to you:)

God tells us not to be foolish, but wise, making the most of our time, every opportunity that comes our way and using it wisely.
Before his twentieth birthday, Jonathan Edwards, the brilliant and godly philosopher-theologian who became God's instrument in the Great Awakening revival of the eighteenth century, resolved "Never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it in the most profitable way I possibly can." That is exactly what he did, using well the intellectual gifts God had given him. He entered Yale at thirteen and at seventeen graduated at the head of his class. At twenty-six he was the minister of one of the largest congregations in Massachusetts...
Following the will of God requires wisdom, clear thinking, and yes, even good old garden variety common sense.

The Mystery of God's Will

How to Get to Heaven

Just want to share this to you:) Be blessed by this:)

God had a plan when He created the world in which we live.
He also had a plan when He made YOU.
The most wonderful experience that can happen to you is to discover
and participate in God's plan for your life.

1 This great discovery begins when you realize God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.

God loves you.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."
--John 3:16

God has a plan for your life.
"I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly."
(a life full of meaning and purpose).
--John 10:10b

The Bible demonstrates the fact that God loves you
and wants you to enjoy the abundant life.

Why are most people not experiencing
God's love and living the abundant life?

2 Because...
Man is a sinner and sin has separated Him from God.

"But your iniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you..."
--Isaiah 59:2a

MAN=SIN=GOD

God did not make man as a puppet on a string to love and obey Him automatically; but gave him a will and freedom of choice.

Man chose to disobey God and go his own self-willed, sinful way.

Every one of us, you and me included, have chosen to disobey God in many ways...

"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
--Ecclesiastes 7:20

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;"
--Romans 3:23

Sin is missing the mark of perfection; falling short of God's Plan for your life and resulting in spiritual death.

"For the wages of sin is death..."
(separation from God in Hell)
--Romans 6:23a

3 Man's self efforts cannot repair the damage created by sin

Man has attempted to bridge the gulf which separates himself from God by doing good works... living moral lives... devising profound philosophies... even being religious, but he has always failed.

MAN=GOOD WORKS, RELIGION, CHURCH MEMBERSHIP, BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION, PHILOSOPHY=GOD


"Not by works of righteousness which we have done..."
--Titus 3:5a

There is only one remedy for the problem of Sin and Separation.

4 Jesus Christ crucified is God's remedy for sin.

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God..."
--1 Peter 3:18a

When Jesus died on the Cross, He paid for all our sins and bridged the gulf that separated us from God.

MAN=CHRIST=GOD

God's love is greater than man's sin.

"But God commendeth (proved) his love toward us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
--Romans 5:8

Jesus died a humiliating, agonizing death. But He didn't remain in the grave. He rose again that we might have a personal relationship with God.

The gulf created by our sin has been bridged by Jesus' death and resurrection.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hat raised Him from the dead, thous
shalt be saved."
--Romans 10:9

It is not enough to discover that God loves you and has a plan for your life... that man is a sinner... and Christ is God's remedy for sin...

5 You must personally receive Christ as your Saviour.

Receiving Christ is as simple as taking these four steps:

1. Realize that your sin has separated your from God..
2. Be willing to turn from your sin to God (this is called repentance).
3. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and that He arose in victory over death.
4. Invite Jesus Christ to come into your life.

Trusting Christ is more than mentally recognizing Him as the Son of God or having an emotional experience. You must receive Him as your personal Saviour by faith.

THE BIBLE SAYS
"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
--John 1:12

CHRIST'S INVITATION
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father; but by me."
--John 14:6

If the following prayer expresses the desire of your heart... You can pray this prayer and Jesus Christ will come into your life as He has promised.

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. I now invite you into my life as my personal Saviour. Please make me what you want me to be. Amen.


THE PROMISE
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
--Romans 10:13

If you trusted Christ as Saviour, you have an exciting life of spiritual growth ahead of you. Here are some ways you can grow spiritually.

1. Share with others the commitment you have made.

-Acts 1:8

2. Be baptized. Baptism identifies you with Christ.

-Acts 8:35-40

3. Study the Bible. The Bible will reveal the God's plan for your life.

-II Timothy 2:15

4. Attend Church regularly and participate in the worship and Christian fellowship.

-Hebrews 10:25

=Solidarity Day of BBTE III-2D=

Our museum visit for our humanities class became a solidarity day for the whole section:)

This was happened yesterday, March 15, 2008, at manila:)

We went to the national museum (main building) as our first destination.
We've seen the different art galleries of the well-known Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo.
Also, the other paintings included were done and made flawlessly by Tolentino, Joya, Abueva, Edades, and many more:)
Their works are exquisite and exceptional.
Ayyyooosssss....

then...
lunch time came...
our tummies were already starving...
need to eat...
that's why we went to SM manila to satisfy our hunger:)
after eating, our kakulitan-time naman:)
a mascot of Lydia's Lechon was at the foodcourt, hehe, we have taken some pictures with him:)
cccuuutttttiiiiieeee...

next...
....is the intramuros invasion:)
we went to San Agustin Church as our second museum destination. The facade was really fascinating:) nice to take pictures:) kaya, kami ay walang pasubaling kumuha ng mga letrato dito:) hehe:) may class picture pa nga eh.



matapos ang San Agustin Church, kami naman ay tumungo sa Casa Manila Museum:) Through this place, we have experienced to reminisce the history of intramuros:) very beautiful house it was. We've seen the entresuelos or the mezzanine, the different cuarto, caida or antesala, sala, despacho or oficina, oratorio, blue room cuarto principal, comedor, cocina, letrina, bano for the damas and caballeros, and azotea. All the ceilings that was intricately designed is really wonderful and artistic. Further, my favorite part is the kitchen:) We've experienced to touch and somewhat use some of its utensils. haha, very nice irons:)

samantala

sa aming pagbaba patungo sa labas
kami ay namangha:)

ako ay dali-daling sumukat ng nggagandahang mga sumbrero na tila baga nagbabadya ng summer season:) of course, I have grabbed the opportunity to take some pictures with this alluring 'sumbrero' ^_^ hekhek, kulit moment ulit:)

pahinga muna...pahinga
at sa aming pagpapahinga
kami ay napabuntong hininga
kailangan na pala naming lumarga.

the next destination was for our solidarity day program:)
We fortunately seen a nice venue for this at intramuros:)
eto ay malapit sa dole, na may pangalang baluarte.

This program was organized for us to be able to be unified again as one section. It was been a memorable day for all of us who have shared treasured moments with each one of us. It was an overwhelming experience:)

esp. to me...

nakakabless tlaga ang araw na iyon:) Because God let me realize and taught me something again:) We had an activity called message routing (I facilitated this), the objective of this was for us to know our blind area for three years that we've all been classmates. Positive and negative descriptions. Appreciation and concerns. For continuation and for change. In my personal experience, upon receiving and reading the messages written by my dear classmates brought me to be at loss for words. First, for the very nice comments from them. Second, for the shocking revelations. For three years I have been insensitive on certain things. Ganon na pala tingin sa akin ng iba kong classmate. To be known as 'mataray and suplada' by them. Perhaps it is all because I have not had a chance to get along with them. I'm usually with my friendsreina, minerva, and pinny. I seldom got an opportunity to be with the other groups. In the same manner, some of them, i think, have misinterpreted my acts. I need some adjustments for this.




Dealing with those stuff really made me think deeper and it is an arduous thing to do to figure out the reasons. Reflecting on what I was and why they have seen and observed me as that... Thanks God:) He was there for me all throughout. He comforts me:) It was only that we haven't kept in touch yet to be as a friend and not only as classmate with them. But, assuredly, God will help me to be closer with them:) I still have a year to do it:)

This video was supposedly our last class picture, but the person who have taken this accidentally pressed the video mode. Kaya aun:) eto ang naging resulta:)
