God is greater than anything that happens to us.

It's been three years since I graduated when I finally had a chance to take the board exam. I enrolled myself sa mga review school before.. but I stopped reviewing after the first pre-board. I never finished the review.. why? Kasi duwag ako e.. Mayabang din ako.. Duwag ako kasi I don't want to take the board knowing na baka bumagsak ako.. I know hindi ko kaya yung sakit. I don't know.. but the thought of me failing the examination makes me sick. I don't even know on how am I going to handle it.. But I know na the real reason why I didn't take the board exam these past three years is because.. Mayabang ako. Me.. a child na never nawalan sa honour list mula pre-school hangang 1st year high school. Ako na kahit nagloko na ako nung 2nd year high school e tingin pa din ng mga teacher namin na matalino...

Best boy friend, Reymus..

Tonight I had a very good conversation with my best boy friend, Reymus. Well.. He came here in Eastwood around 12am. We just sat somewhere and we really had a good chat. I learned a lot from him. He made me realized a lot of things. Well, that's us. When we talk... It's always about our lives.. The things we would like to do and accomplish... Our past.. Our present.. And our future. I am writing this because I would want to remember how blessed I am to have friends like Mus. I want to remind myself few years from now that there is someone who made me feel wonderful. A friend who dreamed with me. A friend who tried to reach it with me. A friend who encouraged me. A friend who's hungry to pursue God. A friend who knows my heart beat. A friend who knows me. A friend who's genuinely true. A...

Sinking Deep

I was having my lunch with Jesus this afternoon. When I heard this song played on my phone... This song was already in my phone for such a long time. But it never hit me before like it did a while ago. It seems like, the song knows what's in my heart. It says exactly the unspoken words of mine. "Sinking Deep" [Verse 1:]Standing here in your presenceIn a grace so relentlessI am won by perfect loveWrapped within the arms of heavenIn a peace that lasts foreverSinking deep in mercy's sea[Chorus:]I'm wide awake, drawing close, stirred by graceAnd all my heart is yoursAll fear removed, I breathe you in, I lean intoYour love, oh, your love[Verse 2:]When I'm lost you pursue meLift my head to see your gloryLord of all, so beautifulHere in you I find shelterCaptivated by the splendorOf your...

Help us learn from their mistakes and from their wise choices, as we make our choice to serve You. God helps those who depend on Him...

Like Sheep

Good morning! I just want to share my devotion for today...  One of my daily chores when I lived with my grandfather in northern Ghana was taking care of sheep. Each morning I took them out to pasture and returned by evening. That was when I first noticed how stubborn sheep can be. Whenever they saw a farm, for instance, their instinct drove them right into it, getting me in trouble with the farmers on a number of occasions. Sometimes when I was tired from the heat and resting under a tree, I observed the sheep dispersing into the bushes and heading for the hills, causing me to chase after them and scratching my skinny legs in the shrubs. I had a hard time directing the animals away from danger and trouble, especially when robbers...

An Old Machine

Today, my office mate used this machine. I was so stunned when I saw the machine, so I asked her if I can use it. I was so happy while typing because *wow* it is really amazing, indeed! I really don't know what am I going to type. So I typed my favorite verse instead. :) It's really wonderful how things evolved. From this type writing machine to this computer that I am using now.  Despite of all the new things around us, it feels good to sometimes go back to the old one. Once they were used and needed as much as we need the computers that we are using today. It feels good to use the old things that were used by other people with the same age as I am now decades ago.  It's like a time machine, I felt like I was one of the people...

I can't contained the excitement.  New season.. new reason to smile, to laugh, to enjoy, and to love.  It might look gloomy in the outside, but in the inside it is pure of happiness and thanksgiving.  Happy rainy days everyone!&nbs...

Another Used To Be

One of the best feeling in this world is the feeling of being in love. The butterflies in your stomach, the bloom in your face,  that smile on your lips, the twinkling eyes, and the happiness that you can't seems to explain. It feels so good. It feels so perfect.

Psalms 118:24

14th of April 2016I've been asking God for direction and guidance on what to do with things that has been happening with me this past few months. Then this morning as I do my quiet time.. God gave me a clear answer thru Psalms 118:24   "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it"So often we focus on the disappointments of yesterday or the uncertainties of tomorrow and miss God's matchless gift to us: Today!Dear God,I want to mark this day that is why I am writing this blog.

Letting Go?

Is it really easy to unlearn things? Is it really easy to change the things you "used to do"? Is it really easy to forget what you have mastered long time ago? Is it really easy to let go of the things that has sentimental value for you? Is it really easy to let go of the people in your life? People in your life that means a lot to you?For me.. It's hard. For all the questions I have, the only answer I can give is a big no. I can't just unlearn things I learned from that person. I just can't change the things I used to do. It's hard to let go of everything that you had dreamed of. It's hard to forget all the memories that you had shared with that person. It's hard to unlearn the things that you know about that person. His favorite color, his favorite food, the way he sleeps, the way he talks...
