Ang Pagbalik
Puso'y kay tagal ng nanlalamig Parang wala ng nararamdamang pintig. Hinahanap ang init Hinahanap ang daan pabalik Biglang napagtanto, hindi pala kaya, Ang malayo sa Iyong presensya. Ang mga labi'y walang maisambit na letra. Ngunit ang puso'y nagsusumigawa ng, "Tay patawad puso ko'y baguhin mo na!" Habang ang mga luha'y umaagos pababa sa mga mata, May 'di maintindihang yakap ang aking nadarama. Tila ba ipinadadama ang mga katagang, "Anak, bumalik ka na!"
DID YOU EVER EXPERIENCED THAT YOU FELT LIKE GOD ISN'T THERE IN YOUR LIFE?
Well, just like in the life of Job, he is the man wherein God allows satan to destroy his life. Job really lost everything in his life. He's totally in pain (v.27) "My heart is troubled and restless. Days of suffering torment me." for losing his family and his wealth but God was still silent in his life. If this is also happening in our life, we can also think that. But what Job did was, he keeps on seeking for the Lord's attention up to the next verses. Job was really PERSISTENT for the Lord's attention. PERSISTENCE is what we really need to get the Lord's attention. It means, NEVER STOP PRAYING! If our prayer today is HEALING, never stop praying for this. God will soon respond. Just like what the Lord's did to Job's life, he response to Job. God is NOT quiet. He is doing something silently. Read Chapter 30 #HealingIsComing“And now my life seeps away.
“Depression haunts my days. At night my bones are filled with pain, which gnaws at me relentlessly.... I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer. I stand before you, but you don’t even look."
-Job 30:16-17,20
Ang Pagtatapos
Sa nalalapit na pagtapos, baon ko’y saya, lungkot at takot
Saya, sapagkat sa wakas nalalapit na ang pagtatapos, ilang taong nakipagbakbakan sa agos. Ilang luha na ang naubos sa wakas abot kamay na.
Lungkot, sapagkat ang institusyong sakin ay humubog , panahon na para ito’y lisanin. Kay daming magandang nangyari sa loob na ilang taon. Ilang beses na nais nang sumuko ngunit hanggang ngayon ay lumalaban pa din sa agos.
Takot, sapagkat di mo alam anong mangyayari pagkatapos. Ito’y hindi talaga pagtatapos kundi ito’y simula sa panibagong yugto ng buhay. Madaming beses tinanong ang sarili, “Handa ka na ba sa panibagong responsibilidad at harapin ang totoong mundo?” “Sigurado ka na ba sa propesyong iyong tinatahak, handa ka bang ipagpatuloy?”
O teka, hindi pa ito tapos. Tignan natin kung makakapagtapos, pakawari ko’y ako na ang matatapos bago ANG PAGTATAPOS!

God’s Promises
2 Peter 1:4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,“ says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Philippians 4:19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:37-39 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Proverbs 1:33 But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.
John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Poetry
Treat me like your poetry
Dive into me, lose yourself
Feel me, and find yourself again
read me, out loud, read me well
taste each word on your tongue
as it leaves your mouth
Romance me
Let me be the storehouse
of your every fear
your insecurities
frustrations and failures
Those drunk thoughts
and a collection of texts you never sent
because they were just too much
Let me be paper
Pour it all over me
Let me drip of paint or ink or tears
I promise I'd try my best to absorb it all
Give me all your worries
and everything else that burdens you
Hold me to your chest or
tear me to pieces
Baby, I'm all yours
to love and to kill.
-Nidhi Bhasin
“Some will love your outside and some will fall in love with your actions, but they aren’t meant for you. Hold out for the one who falls in love with your inside, the broken pieces and all. Not because it is wrapped by your beautiful shell, but because it feels like home.”
“My head is too often filled with emotions that stain my mind with some type of chaos. I try my best to clean up the mess my emotions leave behind, but sometimes it’s too hard to uncover my sanity. I’m trying my best to get better and I want you to know that. I’m trying my best to be who I used to be. Let’s just hope I don’t get a little more crazy,” she said.

BEST BUDDIES!
Sino ba mag aakala na isang taon mahigit ko na pala kasama ‘tong dalawang ito sa campus ministry, kalokohan at kahit sa mga biruang “Kalandian”! I really appreciate this two persons for being there in my life, mapakalokohan o seryosong bagay man. Nakakatuwa lang kasi we are bind because of the same things we have like being kalog, maharot, and having the same passion in serving the Lord. I just want to have an appreciation post for one of my favorite humans. Sana favorite niyo rin ako.
Ps. Di lang kayo favorite ko! HAHAAHAHAHA wag kayong feeling dyan!
I know that this year is a tough and #Courageous year for all of us. And I don’t know what will happen next year as we did a Courageous thing this year.
I remember Danica’s message to me, “Can you imagine, next year nasa PT kana, si Andrei nasa ibang school na, ako nasa indang. Parang, wait haha diko pa kaya hahahahaha ay ang clingy” i can say this is not our #Courageous2019, but we can’t imagine ourselves for now that we are in different ministry and different school.
And I also remember what Andrei says to us, “Tanggap ko na, na aalis na ako dito sa school pero ang iniisip ko lang kayo na mga ate at kuya ko.” Like huuuy ako nalang di nagdadrama hahahha kaya ito na, Mamimiss ko kayo guys (Jolina, 2019) HAHAHAHAHA
But seriously, mamimiss ko kayo. Nawa’y sa ating pagiiba ng landas ay patungo pa rin tayong magpalago sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon.
Mahal ko kayoooo, mga kapatid ko!
Trauma
It wasn’t supposed to happen.
I didn’t deserve it.
There was no reason.
There was no method to madness, or justification of cruelty.
People will tell you
The universe comes around-
You will be stronger and tougher
For what they did to you.
But you didn’t deserve it.
There was no real reason
For the interruption of life
For the disruption of nature
And harming of something small and trusting as yourself.
You’re not obliged to feel owed to your traumas
For the fact you learned to bite before you bark
So no one has the warning when hurting you.
You’re not obliged to what happened
To feel like the universe will work itself out, that justice will strike eventually.
It’s okay to feel angry
When the deepest parts of you are unroofed
When you’re struggling
Because the person you could’ve been
Was killed at an altar
For some strange monster
Seeking your youth.
Most days
It’s blurry
Most days I can’t feel it
It slips through me as I slip through life
It doesn’t hit until my dreams
And it passes when I wake
Leaving numbness in its place.
But today
With help from a little sangria and a little vodka,
And too many memories
I ended up on a bathroom floor
Trying to convince myself I didn’t deserve it
Hoping to god I wouldn’t hear
“The universe has a plan, it was supposed to happen, it made you stronger.”
Instead, I heard
“I know you said no. I know.”
And something inside me
Was terribly unrooted
I was the joykill of the party
Most of it a drunken haze
Lost somewhere on my friends bedroom floor
But what I do remember
Is I didn’t deserve it
Mumbling drunkly about the guilt I felt
For living through it
For not owing my trauma my blood and teeth and barred fangs.
For not owing my traumas for finally being okay with someone else in my bed,
Which would’ve once caused a sobbing terror in the midst of the night.
So all this to say
You don’t owe anything
To your trauma
And you sure as hell didn’t deserve it.
Habang lumalalim ang gabi, mas lumalalim ang hapdi. :(
TO THE WOMAN OF GOD:
Be an ESTHER, bold and courageous enough to stand for the truth, to voice your opinion and fight for the good of others, even when it means to sacrifice yourself. If God has put you in a position, it is for a purpose. Never be afraid to heed that inner voice.
Be a RUTH, loyal in all your relationships, walk the extra mile and don’t quit when things get tough. Someday, you’ll see why it was all worth the effort.
Be a LYDIA, let your homes be open, let your hands be generous, let your hearts be big enough to help anyone in need. Joy is greatest when shared.
Be a HANNAH, never cease to pray. It will never be in vain.
Be a MARY, humble and submissive. You don’t have to be great for God to use you, you just need to obey.
Be a DORCAS, use your talents, however small it may seem to bring a smile on someone’s face. You’ll never know how much it can mean to someone.
Be an ABIGAIL, remember how each decision can turn your life around for good or bad. Be wise.
Be an ELIZABETH, never doubt what God can do. He is the God of many miracles.
Be a MARY MAGDALENE, never let your mistakes and judgments of other people stop you from experiencing the joy of Jehovah.
Be a REBEKAH, never forget that true beauty lies within. Draw all your loved ones closer to God through your Christ-like character.
Lastly be a SARAH, age doesn’t matter. Trust & believe that all things are possible with God according to His time.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” - Proverbs 31:25
Sudden Asthma: A Personal Encounter with God
It was already 1 AM when I suddenly woke up because of the pain in my chest.It was really excruciating and I do not know what to do.I tried to self medicate what I am feeling by drinking lots of water and by putting some cold vaporising ointment (VICKS) to lessen the pain. I also tried to damp some warm cloth into the affected area.After trying all these, the pain still resided in my chest amounting to my right shoulder.The next thing I did was praying.I prayed to God to heal me and I asked Him to remind me that this suffering isn’t an enough reason to give up.[Matthew 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light;and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death,light is sprung up.] Brothers, always be reminded that a light cannot be seen clearly without the darkness.This is the promise of our God! When there’s shadow, there’s light.When there’s death, there’s life. When there’s suffering,there is a God who’s always willing to help.
“Baka Asthma na yan, Pusto.”
3 AM came when I finally decided to ask the help of my Lola. I was about to leave when my father heard the screak of the door and was awakened. I told him, ”Masakit yung dibdib ko,Pa.Kada hinga ko kumikirot.”He got a bit uneasy hearing those words. He asked what I feel and where it comes from. He applied VICKS on my back and massaged it. He also bought my medicine though it is only 3 o’clock in the morning.
To be honest, I am not used to be taken care of especially that it’s my father that does the thing. We’re not close. I do not even know if we’re OK. I was actually praying for him. I am praying that our father-and-son relationship will be good. I am praying that he will stop drinking too much. I also pray that he’ll soon resign his worst habit – illegal drug abuse.It really hits me that my father is a drunkard and an illegal drug user at the same time. I do not know if my mother knows something about it. I do not know if our relatives were aware of it,especially my grandparents. It’s really hard to keep something by yourself particularly that it is a sin, a secret sin.
Sunrise came and I was well. The pain subsided and it was really delighting, knowing that God responded to your prayer.I asked for healing and it was given to me. I prayed for mercy and He gave it,knowing that He is a merciful God of ours.[Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.] If you are tired, come to our Lord and he will give you rest. He can give you the best rest that you desire! He can give you the best refreshment that you can have in your life. Just come to Him if you need so, kapatid.
[Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.]
As I look back on God’s goodness today while I was eating my breakfast, I realized that this day isn’t just a normal day. It is because God answered two prayers in one heavy yet fulfilling day of mine. Would you mind to reread the third paragraph? As you would notice, I said that I am praying for a good father-and-son relationship with him. How amazing that I also realized that that prayer is on the process of its fulfillment! I believe that I had an Asthma – not physically but an Asthma towards family relationship. Maybe I really lack a breath of fresh air. Some warm breeze that comes out of the mouth of my loved ones. Some kind of air that my body would always crave. I am starving for their attention. I am wanting for their love and the way my day started, God provided me that trigger to success into this fight. I have seen that the way my father massaged me and the way he took care of me reflects God’s love for me. He showered so much love on me today. And I thank Him for making me struggle first before having the trophy of success over these. No struggles, no lessons. Sometimes, we do not understand what God is doing in our lives. We tend to be really affected and seem to weep like it’s not gonna be solved. Every problem has its own solution. What only God wants for us is to catch lessons from all the challenges that life throws at us.[Mark 5:36 Be not afraid, only believe. ] If you’re threatened, seek Him. If you’re troubled, seek Him. If you’re afraid, seek Him. Just believe, abide His words and continue to share His gospel so that whatever may come in the road, you know that He is there to guide your way.
[Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.]
Do not lose hope, kapatid! Learn to rejoice in the midst of your weakest points. Though we experience so many hardships and conflicts in our life, though the struggle is indeed real, we should know that these are nothing to the God we have! Let us continually yield and hang on to Him and to His Word and be propelled to consider every fight a stepping stone to develop our character and virtues He had provided inside in each of us. God bless your hearts, brethrens!

WOW! WHAT A GREAT ENCOUNTER ❤️
Christians.
If you are throwing shade, using terms like libtard, homo, fag, making jokes about liberal tears, soy-boys, mocking transgendered people, or any sort of slander or malicious talk, you are NOT representing Christ, you are making Him look bad.
Dont cause non-christians to blaspheme the name of God with your harsh attitudes and unloving words.
PRINSESA
O kay ganda ng iyong ngiti Ngunit sa likod nito'y Tila ba'y walang lungkot na ikinukubli Na para bang walang nadaramang hapdi Ito lamang ay tanda ng iyong patuloy na paglaban sa hamon ng buhay Ngunit tama na, tama na ang pagtago ng iyong nararamadaman Tama na, tama na ang paglaban gamit ang iyong sariling kakayahan Ang iyong laban, ay hindi na sa iyo lamang. May isang hari na kaya kang ilaban. At bawat laban ay siguradong panalo ay makakamtan Kaya’t isuko mo na sa Kanya, at lumaban muli kasama Siya. Ikaw ay prinsesa, ngunit naiiba ka. Iba sa iyong mga nakilala noong ika’y bata. Hindi ito gaya ni Cinderella na nakaiwan lang ng sapatos may prinsipe na. Hindi rin ito tulad ni Snow White na kumain lang ng mansanas, nawalan ng malay, may prinsipe na. Hindi ito tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng prinsipe ah! Ikaw ay prinsesa ng HARI ng mga Hari. Ika'y anak ng nag iisang nagpapaalis ng hapdi, Pauulit ulit mang masawi, sa Kanya’y muling mababawi ang mga ngiting ikininubli ng mundong puno ng pait. Kahit ilang beses kang lumayo patuloy kang mamahalin. Lagi mong pakatatandaan, ika’y prinsesa Niya at mahal niya.
