In His Pursuit

Super Bowl Just a few hours from now, NFL will kick-in in each television sets and not long after that, champions will be crowned.  I’ve been watching Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda in their Friday Funny. Laughed s hard because of this. There was a man who brought his girlfriend with him in an NFL game, after the game he asked the girl if she liked it and she said yes but aside from the big bodies on the ground, she was puzzled about why do they kill each other for a 25-cent. The guy didn’t understand and asked what do you mean? She said, they throw a coin and then they will yell, “get the quarterback”. Language of the game. Lawn Tennis Been to a nerve racking college lawn tennis game this week and I was praying with the team as the score of games won was tied at two. The clincher singles will be played by a dear friend and she was matched to the Philippines’ third best in the women’s division. It was hard. This game will either make them undefeated for the who...

One step forward or a miss step, it would have been game over. This week, it was official. I am now a campus missionary though they now call it campus trainee. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to divulge the difference between the two since everything is not final yet until I sign the contract and it's the first time they're having trainees so again, first batch. It was a breather for me, now knowing my mission. (Reviewing the 3 important Ms of my life and I guess with some of you as well, Master, Mission and Mate.) But it struck me as well on how hard it will be especially I have to not just think of the work but how I will raise my monthly support. Well, in a real world you don't go into a company where you will work and you have to look for ways to earn your salary in another way, am I making sense here? No. Hahaha. My whole point is this, I am distracted by the things I'm not in control of and it made me nuts and unfocused on the work prepared for me.  ...

I really hate it. I'm still not over it. I won the singles match not for a lawn tennis game but for this garter. I never joined those games since I just got into the right age of that "oldness". Fine,'twas my fault to join when they called my name. Being sports. The irony. I love sports but I never enjoyed being sports. I am the asar-talo of any game. Translation? Just google it. I made a face to the host when I lost because I won. It's not because I didn't want the guy but just because I wanted to have my future husband my firsts of everything. Until, I realized that I hated this wedding garter because of that but I again thought of my other compromises that doesn't please God and in a way I didn't get angry with myself which I should have. My takehome of this is to do what I speak. In every utterances of my mouth must be my actions. When I say don't complain, I should not complain myself as well. It's easier to say things than to do it. ...

We were in a wedding hours ago and there was this kid that was playing with the fork and the knife. A year-old little girl that was seated a chair away from where I was. She was too adorable to be deprived of her simple pathetic joy of just putting the head of the utensils on her face. When we saw it, we were very panicky that it might catch her eyes and more problem might occur. She would throw tantrums whenever her parents take it away from her. My mom whispered that if she was the parent, she would just take those knives and forks out of her reach and allow her to cry for eternity than to be hurt by them. Free parenting session with my mom. As I heard my mom said that, I thought to myself how God says no to things that I really want and I get angry at Him and be on a beast mode against Him thinking that I know better than He does. Silly me. I’ve never known better than God. Fork Road. You have the choice. Either to make it or break it. Obey the will of God or not. You s...

This picture just shows how incapable we are and all we can do is depend on the capable God. Photo Courtesy of Washington Post. Greatness isn't synonymous with vastness. The most-recent typhoon that hit our beloved country may seem too big to be survived with. But stand on the truth that God is greater. He is Sovereign and He loves you so much that He shed His blood for you to have an eternal life. Hebrews 9:28 (" so Christ was sacrificed once  to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,  not to bear sin,  but to bring salvation  to those who are waiting for him.") God isn't a man who changes. He is constant and He remains the same. Hebrews 13:8 (" Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.")   He is Holy, Just, Loving, All-Powerful, All-Knowing, Awesome, Forgiving, Faithful, Patient, Kind  and the list goes on.  I made this photo while searching for a Thor photo after seeing it on the big screen. I was s...

Not everyone will believe the gospel, but everyone should be invited. - Jonathan Parnell   Don't be a dead sea. A sea without an outlet. Start loving other people. In the first place, God loves us though we are not deserving of it. He loved us first. (1 John 4:19 "We love because He first loved us.") To die on that cross for my sake and knowing that I will still sin after that. Knowing that I would break His heart in one way or another. That is the love no one can ever give. A love not known in this selfish world. A world who needs to know His unselfish love. An eternal love not based on humanly love. Have you ever experienced a somewhat perfect week? I'm not here to boast, because most of my weeks are not perfect. No week has been perfect. Even a day in my calendar. But a week where you just longed for the Lord more. I was reminded this week to live for the Lord. Know Him better. (Colossians 1:10 " Then the way you live will always honor and please the L...

“Two little lines I heard one day,  Traveling along life’s busy way;  Bringing conviction to my heart,  And from my mind would not depart;  Only one life, ’twill soon be past,  Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, yes only one,  Soon will its fleeting hours be done;  Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet,  And stand before His Judgement seat;  Only one life,’twill soon be past,  Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, the still small voice,  Gently pleads for a better choice  Bidding me selfish aims to leave,  And to God’s holy will to cleave;  Only one life, ’twill soon be past,  Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, a few brief years,  Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears;  Each with its clays I must fulfill,  living for self or in His will;  Only one life, ’twill soon be past,  Only what’s done for Christ will last. When this bright wo...
