"If you feel far from God,
guess who moved."

"there is a difference only you can make."

Revelations 4 (Tagalog Popular Version)

Pagkatapos nito, ibang pangitain naman ang aking nasaksihan. Nakita ko sa langit ang isang bukas na pinto.

At muli kong narinig ang tinig na gaya ng isang trompeta na ang sabi, "Umakyat ka rito, at ipakikita ko sa 'yo ang darating na pangyayari." Walang anu-ano'y kinasihan ako ng Espiritu, at nakita ko sa langit ang isang trono, at ang nakaluklok doon. Ang mukha Niya'y maningning na gaya ng mahahalagang batong haspe at kornalina. May isang bahagharing kakulay ng esmeralda sa palibot ng trono. Nakapaligid dito ang dalawampu't apat pang trono. Nakaluklok doon ang dalawampu't apat na matatanda; puti ang kanilang kasuutan at may koronang ginto ang bawat isa. Mula sa trono'y gumuguhit ang kidlat, kasabay ang malalakas na ugong at nakatutulig na kulog. May pitong nagniningas na sulo sa harap ng trono; ito ang pitong Espiritu ng Diyos. Sa harap ng trono, may tila dagat na salaming sinlinaw ng kristal.

Nakapaligid sa trono, sa bawat panig nito, ang apat na nilalang na buhay na punung-puno ng mga mata sa harap at likod. Katulad ng leon ang unang nilalang na buhay. Katulad naman ng baka ang pangalawa. May mukhang katulad ng tao ang pangatlo. At katulad ng agilang lumilipad ang pang-apat. Tig-aanim na pakpak ang apat na nilalang na buhay; at tadtad ng mga mata ang bawat-isa, sa loob at labas. Walang tigil ang pag-awit nila araw-gabi:

"BANAL, BANAL, BANAL... ANG PANGINOONG DIYOS NA MAKAPANGYARIHAN SA LAHAT. ANG DIYOS SA NAKARAAN, SA KASALUKUYAN, AT SIYANG DARATING."

At habang umaawit sila ng papuri, parangal, at pasasalamat sa nakaluklok sa trono, ang nabubuhay magpakailanman, ang dalawampu't apat na matatanda nama'y nagpapatirapa sa harap ng trono, at sinasamba ang nakaluklok doon, ang nabubuhay magpakailanman. Iniaalay nila ang kanilang korona sa harap ng trono, at sinasabing,

"AMING PANGINOON AT DIYOS! KARAPATDAPAT KANG TUMANGGAP NG PAPURI, PAGGALANG, AT KAPANGYARIHAN; PAGKAT IKAW ANG LUMALANG SA LAHAT NG BAGAY, AT AYON SA IYONG KAGUSTUHAN, SILA'Y NILALANG MO AT PINANATILI."

Now, isn't God worthy? Even the highest heavens extol Him. Even the sinless revere Him. God deserves our worship. If we only knew who He is and how He is worshipped in heaven by the holiest beings He created. If we could only see, then we would never take worship lightly again.

Lord, give us clean hands. Wash away all our sins. We are but a sinful people compared to Your holiness.. compared to your glory. Consecrate us by Your blood. Give us a clean slate. We wanna be a part of Your consecrated ones - the ones that You would gather. We know how sinful we are. Cleanse us. Purify us. Burn away everything that is not of You. Consecrate every area of our lives. We know it would hurt.. But we just wanna be set apart for You.. to love You.. to worship You.. the way that our holy God deserves.

And in awe of You, we will cry, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO WAS, WHO IS, AND IS TO COME."

sa bagay eto almost a year ago na... hehe... excited na ko maging member ulit sa camp... hehe...

...can't believe more than a month na has passed since we left for boracay...

well... hehe... sa bagay, natapos na rin ang pahihirap namin na dulot ng trip na'to...

haha...

missin' those times...

...when we just kneel down together as a team and pray
...when we sing songs to God [kahit flat na..haha..]
...when we try to translate english songs to tagalog... [haha..taglish pala..]
...when everything seems to be fine [kahit marami problema]

i miss those friends na di ko na nakikita...
...pati na rin mga people na kailangang di ko na makita... -no comment-

i just miss them all...

what i miss the most?
i miss being a child... who trusts easily, loves truthfully, and obeys faithfully...

...i desire to feel like a child again... child of God this time...
when all i can say is...

"i fear nothing at all, when im safe in the Arms of my Father
and if ever i fall, i take comfort in knowing that You are there" =)

some update..

as of now... i dont feel good...

yes, i feel good... coz i know God is working in my life right now...
He's not finished with me yet, right?

i just need to be patient...


and i know... have to be broken... ALWAYS!!!


i dont know why things happen this way...
..all i know is that God is in control... and His plans are higher than mine.

im relieved everytime God reminds me of this:

"for I know the plans I have for you
i know just what you're going through
so when you cant see what tomorrow holds
and yesterday is through
remember, I know the plans I have for you"

song yan e... hehe... kinuha sa Jer 29:11...

-whew- (-, -)"

at last...natapos na rin oral report at paper namin sa tour mgt class...

kung bakit naman kasi ang supposed to be reaction paper ay dapat maging research paper?????
well, i dont blame the prof for that...

natutuwa nga rin ako kasi for the first nafeel ko na rin na college pala ko! haha... kasi more than 36 hours yata ako gising para lang matapos itong ilang requirements niya...

atleast God taught me to discipline myself... from unnecessary stuffs.. haha...
cant believe nakaya ko... ^_^

-whew-

konti na lang bakasyon na!
pero dami pa gagawin... pero konti na lang! haha...

heroes...

We recognize and revere heroes because they did not quit, they clawed their way back. That's whay they are our "heroes." Tough times are the womb of heroes, and failure is often the womb of success.

Even if their own mistakes precipitated their personal disaster, somehow they found a way to "come back," to initiate a magnificent "turnaround"!

-from The Ultimate Comeback by Tommy Tenney, p. 13


---> la ako nitong book na'to... pero kasama 'to sa book wishlist ko... para sa mga naghahanap ng gift para sa'kin sa birthday ko... haha...

i've decided to do the field trip report first...

..kasi mas madali ng konti gawin ung sa PPT dahil copy-paste na lang un...


please do pray for me...

thanks!

yesterday...

[ipopost ko 'to dpat kahapon eh...]

it's hard when people ask for something you cannot give them.

buti na lang di din pumayag yung groupmates ko... hooh...
ganito kasi yun: our tourism laws prof did not meet us for 3 meetings so we could work on our second group exercise. we have to get GISs of 10-20 tourism establishments from SEC... sa group namin, naassign na tourism est. ang hotels... aun. kelangan namin tingnan kung may foreign investment ba dun o wala, and kung how much ung foreign participation... kami ung TF class... may MTh class din ung prof namin and we she gave both sections the same exercise...

kanina, they asked us if we could lend them 3-4 of our GISs papaphotocopy na lang nila, then they'll pay us half of our expenses... so P300 din un... mahal kasi magprint ng GISs... dami pa process...

ayaw naman namin magdamot... we're just concerned about what might happen... baka mahuli kami ng prof tapos magalit samin lahat...

naisip ko pa nga, are we not teaching them na maging tamad kasi mahaba talaga ung process ng pagkuha.. kasi pipila ka pa [minsan mahaba ung pila]... tapos isesearch mo pa ung names ng companies sa portal ng SEC bago mo pa maprint...

aun... buti na lang di din pumayag ung iba ko classmates...
feeling ko kasi magcocompromise kami pag nagkataon... kasi lam namin na di pwede un gagawin namin...

Run to Daddy

Some forms of worship only release their sweetest fragrance to God when offered from the fires of trial and adversity.
Finding Favor with the King, p.
25

Scripture Reading

Acts 16:25-34, where Paul and Silas, beaten and locked up in the Philippian jail, offer prayer and praise to God. He delivers them with an earthquake, and the jailer and his household become believers.

It is taught by some in the modern church that believers can expect an easy road in life if they will only have faith. It is good—even absolutely necessary—for true believers to believe and have faith in God.
But the Christ of the Bible has never said “Life should be a breeze!”

Christians— good Christians —sometimes go bankrupt.

Christians get cancer.
Christians lose their jobs.
Trials and adversity are real, even for believers—perhaps especially for believers.
They touch every one of us and they hurt (and they usually have nothing to do with our faith level).

So how do you handle adversity in your life? Do you gripe and
complain, saying, “Oh, woe is me!” Do you challenge or question God?
“Why are You letting this happen to me?” Or have you learned to view
trials as an opportunity to grow and to draw closer to your heavenly
Father?

Children who get a cut or a scrape run to Mommy or Daddy for
comfort—somehow their comforting and reassuring kisses make life
better. The pain offers yet another opportunity to exchange love and
deepen the bonds of unconditional love between children and parents.

In the same way, trials and hard times should propel us into our Father's arms.

Rather than run from Him, we must run to Him
and find comfort, strength and direction in His presence. Our faith is
in Him, in His abiding love, and in His Word; not in the false
expectation that all trouble and adversity will leave our lives.

Jesus said, “A servant is not greater than his master.' If they
persecuted Me, they will also persecute you…” He also gave us this
great promise: “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good
cheer, I have overcome the world.” You are on assignment in enemy
territory, and trials and adversity are part of living in a fallen
world. As God walks through the hard times with you, the problems serve
as purifying fires burning away your impurities and strengthening you
for service— if you embrace the process of growth.
Your trials tend to either make you or break you—it all depends on your response.

Paul and Silas were thrown into the Philippian prison, with their
feet in stocks and their backs bruised and bleeding from wrongful
beatings. They could have moaned and groaned, but at the midnight hour
they were too busy “praying and singing hymns to God”! They transformed
their pain into praise and their stripes into songs of joy. The
jubilant worship birthed in the midst of fierce tribulation became a
sweet fragrance in the nostrils of God. The presence of the Father
arrived with such for that it shook the earth and brought deliverance
to His worshipers. The sweet fragrance of their worship even affected
the lives of the jailer and his family and changed their lives forever.

Athletes know that in order to grow stronger their muscles must be
stress and stretched in exercise so even stronger tissue will generate.
This principle of “no pain, no gain” even applies to the Christian
life. We cannot grow without pain and resistance.

God uses the trials and hardships of life to draw us closer to Him

and to develop greater maturity in us so we can go on to greater
things. Willing worship in times of tribulation becomes the sweet
fragrance that brings God near.

It's easy to praise God when things go well. Have you learned to worship Him in hard times as well? Your trials and adversity are fresh opportunities to praise and worship God—and to experience new growth.

When life hurts, don't run away— run to Daddy!

PRAYER: Father, sometimes life hurts.
My first impulse is to turn my back or run away, but I know You love me. The bad times and the sad times in my life should draw me closer to Your side and make me more like You.
Teach me to worship You at all times—even in the hard times.
Let my worship be a sweet fragrance rising to Your throne.

My Life is in Your Hands by Kathy Troccoli

Life can be so good, Life can be so hard

Never knowing what each day will bring to where you are

Sometimes I forget and sometimes I can't see

That whatever comes my way You'll be with me

My life is in your hands, my heart is in your keeping

I'm never without hope not when my future is with you

My life is in your hands and though I may not see clearly

I will lift my voice and sing cause your love does amazing things

Lord, I know, my life is in your hands

Nothing is for sure, Nothing is for keeps

All I know is that your love will live eternally

So I will find my way, and I will find my peace

Knowing that you'll meet my every need



My life is in your hands, my heart is in your keeping

I'm never without hope not when my future is with you

My life is in your hands and though I may not see clearly

I will lift my voice and sing cause your love does amazing things

Lord, I know, my life is in your hands



When I'm at my weakest, Oh, You carry me

Then I become my strongest, Lord, in Your hands



My life is in your hands and though I may not see clearly

I will lift my voice and sing cause your love does amazing things

Lord, I know, my life is in your hands

I trust you Lord

My life is in your hands

My Life is in Your Hands

by Kirk Franklin

You don't have to worry

And don't you be afraid

Joy comes in the morning

Troubles they don't last always

For there's a friend in Jesus

Who will wipe your tears away

And if your heart is broken

Just lift your hands and say

Oh

I know that I can make it

I know that I can stand

No matter what may come my way

My life is in your hands 

With Jesus I can take it

With Him I know I can stand

No matter what may come my way

My life is in your hands

So when your tests and trials

They seem to get you down

And all your friends and loved ones

Are nowhere to be found

Remember there's a friend in Jesus

Who will wipe your tears away

And if you heart is broken

Just lift your hands and say

Oh

I know that I can make it

I know that I can stand

No matter what may come my way

My life is in your hands

With Jesus I can take it

With Him I know I can stand

No matter what may come my way

My life is in your hands
