hmmm...

my perspective:
the ways to brokenness is far more than being open. (san mo nga pala nakuha yung idea na yun? bago yun sa ken actually. hehe.) brokenness is your utmost surrender to God's will and purposes no matter what it takes and no matter what God is up to out of your sincere love for Him. So, if God wants you to surrender yung area ng openness (na mejo malabo ang dating sa ken. hehe.), pwede rin siyang gamitin ni Lord para ma-break ka.

Pero kasi, alam mo... Only God knows when a person is broken . Pag sinabi mong broken ka, pride na yun. Pag sinabi mo namang broken ang isang tao, how do you know what truly is in his heart? What God has taught me about brokenness... It's something you have to desire, and really really work on... kasi nga di ba, we can only be a true vessel once we are broken. but it's not for you to know when you are truly broken. It's not an achievement. It's not an end to itself (so kung may nagsabi sayo na kelangan mong maging open, para masabing broken ka... hmmm... pagpray mo na lang. di ko rin alam e, malabo dating sa ken nun. hehe). You strive for it... You work on it... but not to achieve it... but you do it as an act of nothingness before the Lord... that your life is not your own.

okay, tama na. parang preaching na. hehe.

papahiram ko sayo yung favorite book ko... 'A Tale of Three Kings'... good reference on brokenness.

hahahahaha! i gusto kong maghysterical nung nabasa ko to.. hehehehe.. well, yung sasabihin ko, somehow nasabi na ni ate weng.. [yung alam ko tungkol sa brokenness sa kanya ko natutunan...] hehehehe
one more thing..
ang sure ako,
IN BROKENNESS THERE IS ANOINTING di ko alam na brokenness = openness..
tagshing! boink! hehehehehehe
kelan pa nga ba naging ganun ang bagay na yun..?
hmmmmm

may nabasa akong book...
sabi dun, God sometimes takes away those things that are precious to us.. sometimes He sends pain, grief, [stuffs like those..] to break us...

san ang openness dun..???
e kung tutuusin, God alone can break you... diba..?
you need not do anything..
parang.. hmmmm.. well yes, you have to surrender.. pero yung openness.. hmmm!??!?!? malabo...
as in M-A-L-A-B-O
hehehehehe

well, ayun lang ang nalalaman ko tungkol sa brokenness..

i second the motion sa mga sinabi ni ate weng...

kase tama, ano naman kung broken ka..??!? does that mean na may sobrang great price ka kay LOrd..!??!
though okay maging broken..
coz in brokenness, God's light can shine through you.. na sobrang basag ka.. just like yung clay pot na basag diba...? plus
IN BROKENNESS, THERE IS ANOINTING
kaya ako, yun ang reason ko that's why i always ask God to break me..

yun nga lang, after praying that prayer na Lord, break me..
namumugto talaga ang mata ko..
wahahahahahahahaha

=)

pero i can't say that i'm broken..
and i can't judge if someone is broken..
how will i know..?
am i God..?!
hehehehehe

ayun lang..
mahaba na ba.?
hehe
kung kanino mo man narinig yan..
tama,
PAG PRAY MO NA LANG..
hehe kanino bang prinsipyo yan..?!

ATE WENG!
SA KIN MO MUNA PAHIRAM YUNG TALE OF THREE KINGS!!!

feeling ko...mejo magkakaiba kayo ng perspective when it comes to openness...and brokenness

first, openness to whom?! to God? to friends? team? ---what do you think is the purpose why that person wanted u to be open? Maybe because she wanted to help u but don't know how because you don't open up to her or to anybody in the team..it's not a necessity to open up to a person (because it should be opened to God first) but sometimes I think we should also give others the chance to use their God-given gifts to help us as we open up to them (that is, after opening up to God).who knows? maybe it's not you who needs the help but it's her who can learn something from your experience/s..

the brokenness part...eh.nagdudugo na utak ko..haha..
feeling ko magkaiba yun eh...bka it's not what she meant when she said that phrase...(sencia, I'm trying to recall the situation...para maalala ko kung ano nga ba yung purpose niya why she said that...) but I believe what she wanted was to see u closer also with the other members...remember, we are one body...there's something in u that they also need (to learn/ relearn/ unlearn) hehe..but hndi nila malalaman yun kung walang communication...paran ganun...

tama na...sakit na ng ulo ko..=D
