 | I am. I have. I can. | Feb 10, 2007 |
I refuse to be trapped in the past.
I’m not going to let my past destroy my future.
I’m not going to live my life defeated and negative.
I am created to overcome.
I am destined to live in victory because the Greater One lives inside of me.
I’m going to rise up to become everything God has created me to be.
I’m pressing on.
I’m straining forward,
knowing that God has great things in store for me.

WM’s Prayer Meeting
SFJ’s tipok tipok lol
We were very surprised to see all of them so willing and excited to fellowship despite the distance, time-consuming travel plus supah-heaaaaaaaavy rain. The young adults’ ministry was supposed to have their fellowship at my grandmother’s place but because of the heavy rain, they decided to stay while the married women’s ministry had their fellowship on the other corner of the house. Our house is not big or spacious but praise God it accommodated 50 people. He’ll truly take every stumbling block and turn it into a stepping stone!
I’ve learned that when difficult times come, we don’t have to be overwhelmed by the waves of worry or fear. Just as Jesus stood up and spoke to the storm, we have power in our words, too because God’s miracle-working power is on the inside of us. He’s given us His authority to declare peace over our minds. Thank you Lord!:)
“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” -Habakkuk 3:17-18 |

 | Say So | May 18, '09 8:58 AM
for everyone |
You see, I have been struggling with life lately. I've never been so depressed, disappointed and discouraged in my entire existence ever. It’s like my problems were consuming me and I’m too weak and tired to stand up on the inside. There were times when I really don't understand why certain things have to happen. The enemy has been manipulating me into thinking that God has forgotten me. Time and again, I tried to fight it. You know the feeling when you’ve settled it with the Lord already and the next day, here you go again trying to recall or reopen the old wounds? It's like I’m taking one step forward and then two steps backward. I got worn-out of the same, old process when I completely know that unless I let go, I'm hindering God from bringing fresh new blessings into my life. The entire time I was at the national triennial convention, God has been talking to me. True indeed that when you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him. I realized that God will never give up on me so I shouldn’t give up on myself. Just like Jonah, God never stop following him. I realized that unconsciously, I was too busy looking at my surroundings; why others get all the favor; I was too busy magnifying my personal desires. It has always been about ME. What about what God wants? I was too selfish. I was so focused on accomplishing my own purpose that when things don’t go the way I plan them to be, I worry. I've always been very determined and dedicated in whatever I do and lately, it seems that I’m really clueless where my life’s taking me. I felt that I'm stuck, stranded and abandoned. Sometimes I feel that I'm just being bitter about my circumstance. God has revealed to me that I don’t need to know where I’m going if I know He’s leading. I realized that it is more exciting to go not knowing where you’re going than to go knowing where you’re going already! True indeed that the enemy works the hardest when he knows that God has something great in store for you. That is a sure sign that you're a big person with a big destiny (victor’s mentality)! I get to that point where I trust God completely, even when I sometimes don’t understand Him. Even when I don’t understand, I know that GOD is at work in me and He's working through me. I realized that there are some things I shouldn’t even try to figure out. I realized that there will always be new battles to fight and new obstacles to overcome. My adversities will become the means that God will use to promote me. When all is said and done, I’m coming out better and stronger than I was before! I may have been sick for a long time but I know this sickness didn’t come to stay. It came to pass and right now I declare that I am blessed! I am redeemed! I am highly favored! I am valuable! I am able! I am healed by the blood of Jesus and I thank You Lord! I was created to overcome. I was created to leave a mark on my generation. As a child of The Most High God, I am carrying His greatness on the inside of me. GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN ME. God remembers me and when God remembers, no forces of evil will come against me; no disappointment, no discouragement will stop me from fulfilling my God-given destiny!:)
Allow me to end this by sharing one of my favorite parables, The Parable of the Pencil Maker.
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
"There are 5 things you need to know," He told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."
"ONE: ON EVERY SURFACE YOU ARE USED ON, YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR MARK. NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITION, YOU MUST CONTINUE TO WRITE."
"TWO: YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A PAINFUL SHARPENING FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT YOU'LL NEED IT TO BECOME A BETTER PENCIL."
"THREE: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CORRECT ANY MISTAKES YOU MIGHT MAKE."
"FOUR: THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WHAT'S INSIDE."
"AND FIVE: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO MANY GREAT THINGS, BUT ONLY IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HELD IN Someone's Hand." (AMEN!!!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!)
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

The Philippine General Council of the Assemblies of God
Triennial Convention
12-15 May 2009
Cebu International Convention Center
Mandaue City, Cebu
There were about more than 2000 delegates who joined and I was so privileged that God has given me the opportunity to participate in this triennial convention. The convergence was divided into 3 groups: the ordained ministers and official church delegates; the conventionists, missionaries and evangelists; and the youth. These three had different activities in different areas of the convention center simultaneously in a day and we were all gathered together every night during the evening worship service. There were about a total of 5-6 different anointed pastors from here and outside the country who preached to us throughout the day times 4 days. It was so awe-inspiring and I was like ok Lord this time I’m really going to let go, move forward and follow you. I couldn’t stop crying. God has revealed so many things and I truly had a wonderful encounter with Him. Naa sa blog akong mga realizations ever LOL :) I was truly blessed. We all did. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!:)
We have been commissioned by Christ to build His church

The company treated my mom with a sumptuous dinner at Country Steakhouse. I wasn’t able to take pictures because all my mom’s big bosses were there and they were so formal and I was like ok lol hahahahaha!:) They handed mom a plaque of appreciation in recognition of her hard work, dedication and loyalty during her 33 years of service with the company. Days later, the entire HR department gave mom a despedida bash at Midway Beach Resort. My mom couldn’t help but cry the moment she received this big frame with a photo collage of all their happy moments together. I was so touched because I can really feel how they value my mom. I saw one of my closest friends since grade school, Jan. I had sooo much fun!:)
Mommy, the time I saw you bringing all your stuff from your office table at home and you were crying, I couldn’t help but cry in silence too. I know this is going to be a new battle to think that you were so used waking up early in the morning, toiling, stressing yourself out, overtime every now and then and this is like a super major change for you OMG! I’m positive that you’ll rise above this. I’m so amazed how God is getting everything lined up for your favor. True indeed that when you’re in God’s rest, you know that at the perfect time, God is going to perform everything He promised. God has been very faithful jud My. I just hope that you’re not going to stay up late watching all those Koreanovela DVDs at home OMG hahahahaha!:) You’re 55, it’s about time that you unwind and see the beautiful world outside! OMG Daddy’s so excited to see you na, ayaw sa karon kay ang swine flu dana hahahahaha!:) Kami na ni Ate Coco paskwela ni Crystal, OMG kapal, as if kaya lol hahahahahaha!:)
Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully. –Matthew 5:6

24?????????? OMG!!!! Hahahahaha!:)
What’s next my Lord? I've come too far to stop now. If You are for me, with me and in me, I can do this! If it's not for Your grace, Your goodness and Your mercy, I woudn't be standing right now. I have my own share of shortcomings and self esteem issues but I know Lord that brokenness is a tool You use to mold me. You would never let me go through something that is too difficult for me to handle. I’m going to keep standing up on the inside, I’m going to keep standing in faith no matter how long it takes. My sense of value cannot be based on my weaknesses, my failures or what I have achieved; how bad or well I perform or how somebody else treats me. My sense of value is based solely on the fact that I am a child of the Most High God and with that You promised that I have every spiritual, financial and physical blessing! Favor is coming my way and I thank You Lord!:)
To everyone who sent their inspiring birthday greetings, those who called me up early in the morning, those who gave their greetings in person, those who imparted their fabulous gifts, those who remembered me in their prayers and to everyone who played their own role in my life, thank you soooo much for making my 24 years of existence sooo wonderful! I sooo love you all with God's love!:)
“He lifted me out from the slimy pit,
out of the mud & mire;
He has set my feet on the rock
and gave me a firm place to stand”
