Photo not mine Are you compromising? Doing it your way? Insisting your own timeline? Well... Think twice! “Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Proverbs 19:20-21 ESV #sovereignGod #Godisincontrol

He is a great God. He is an awesome, wonderful God. Mighty in power, author of wisdom. Better than life. One of my favorite worship songs. I like this song because the adjectives used by Ptr. Archie Castillo in describing God really fits how I experience and consider HIM in my life. I pray that every word used to describe God in this song will not be a cliche and that as we sing this

Today, during Leaders Huddle with Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) students, we've shared our highlights and low moments for the week. After hearing from everyone, we all agreed that God's message for the team is "Never Give Up!". Aside from the team's visions and objectives, we have our individual goals too. Each of us may be facing different temptations and challenges everyday

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” (Psalms 46:10 NLT) May this verse be an encouragement to all! He's asking us to keep the faith and not be shaken. God is in control! Thank You, Lord! You are amazing! Another Blessed Day for us! :)

I'm reposting this article I've read from boundless.org written by Suzanne Hadley Gosselin. I believe that most single men and women can relate to this at some point. Close male-female friendships can be fun and engaging, but are women putting their emotions at risk? The other day I was having lunch with a friend, and she began to pour out an all-too-familiar story. The guy she'd been

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11 NIV) I believe all of us needs to be reminded of this verse. These two - being impatient and being sensitive - are most likely being used by the enemy to attack us. As soon as we feel these, everything else becomes blurry, unstable, and out of control.  Let's ask God everyday for wisdom on

Reminder For The Day! "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". (Jeremiah 29:11) This verse has somewhat became a cliche to most people. But this morning, it gave another meaning to me and some friends. As I was asking God for a Word that I could share to the LifeBox Caloocan staff,

Reminder For The Day! “The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name." (Exodus 15:2, 3 NIV) We don't fight alone. God fights with us that's why we are secured and confident that we will win every battle and every challenge which tries to stop us from

Reminder For The Day "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10:10 ESV) Let's not allow the enemy to distract us and steal our joy. Let's declare God's power over our lives instead, and fight for His great plans for us!  Good night! God loves us no matter what!

God definitely blessed me again this year. He has been so faithful and loving. As I look back through my Facebook, planner and phone calendar, I can't stop thanking HIM for all the blessings and blessings-in-disguise. I am just so amazed on how gracious He is despite all my short-comings. This year, God made sure that we're together in every step and decision I make, He made sure that

I was chatting with a friend few hours ago and as we were discussing about issues and disagreements in life and Church, he asked me, "Kayo po, what is your purpose bilang Christian??? pwede po bang malaman" ("How about you, May I know your purpose as a Christian?"). That question made me wonder and ask other friends this survey question, "What is your purpose as a person/ Christian?" (around 2

Just sharing another inspiring song to all! May you also desire to surrender everything to God completely. Take my heart! Take my soul! I surrender everything to Your control!  To God be the glory.

This song has touched my heart today! May you also be blessed and be inspired to love God more and more each day. And You answer, "My child, I love you..." Oh, Lord! Your grace is enough for me! Thank You! I Love You too!!! *hugs* "I'm learning to simply obey You..."

I saw this again and wanted to share this Note posted on Facebook by Mr. Ruben Velarde last July 2010. Thanks again, Ben! Really touched and grateful for this! :) --- There is this one lady that I always admire from the distance. She may appear fragile, a delicate lady that you thought you need to protect all your life but once she gets to open her mouth

"Prayer is powerful - but do you know how to pray for yourself? It may seem easier to pray for your spouse, your children, your friends, and your extended family, but God wants to hear your requests for your life too. He loves it when you come to Him for the things you need and ask Him to help you become the woman you have always longed to be." My friend, Alexie, gave this book last

I usually read a story or 2 before going to bed as part of my Daily Devotion/ Quiet Time with God. Most of the stories really touched me as I always ask God to speak to me through the stories I read and Bible verses linked to them. This book is a compilation of Testimonies of young women & their journey through life. There are a total of 77 stories and I've already

Here are more photos from my 2010. So many blessings that it gave me a hard time to choose which can best represent each month. I love all the photos in my albums and I treasure every person & moment captured (even if it's not posted here)! I can't thank God enough for all the blessings he has given me! I love you, Lord! God bless us all! :)

I decided to count my many blessings for this year through my pictures. I had mixed emotions and was teary-eyed as I look at them... so amazed with how God loves me as He guided me throughout the year. My original plan was to post one photo/ highlight for each month but as I reminisce with the pictures, I wanted to post them all! Haha! It's really hard to choose the best photo

Two sweet dreams left and we will all wake up to a New Year! :) I love calendars... I love looking at calendars... putting marks on them to start my countdowns! Maybe because I am always hopeful and excited for what God has in store for me each day. He never fails to surprise me with His blessings (& blessings in disguise). =D Another year is ending soon and my prayer is for

I came accross this quote from twitter: A new year is God's way of saying: "No matter where u've been or what u've been thru, u can always start fresh." And so I thought of starting a new blog. At first, I was thinking of reviving my old blog and start posting again but for some reasons, I don't want to see old posts (last post I made was dated March 2007). I just want everything NEW for the
