My First Household


You might ask what a household is, I know because I also asked the same question before. A household is a group of 6 people who gathers to praise, worship, share lessons and proclaim God’s love but shuffle members every December.

So, I would like to express my love to my previous household!



I found not only friends but sisters who are always there through ups and downs no matter if they're busy or not. Someone to laugh with until you shed a tear, who would cry with you, who would listen to your unending stories, who would eat with you until you get fat, go to church with you and would still comfort you even your miles apart.

Thank you for being a part of my life.
I'm so happy to have you!

I love you my dearest sisters & I'll always will! :)

God's Little Princess

I want to tell you a story about a Princess. This is not like any other fairy tale because it doesn't have an ending =)

I was born on the 1st day of January. I have 3 siblings: 2 sisters and a brother. I am the youngest in the family. I grew up well loved and provided. Unfortunately, the other members of our family hated me and treated me badly.

My siblings were the one who took care of me because our mother was too busy with family business. One of my cousins lived with us for a few years and made my life miserable every time we're alone.

Like everyone else, I faced different trials in my life and these circumstances build up my negative personalities.

I am vulnerable. My friends were always there for me but it was not enough. I feel so empty! I wanted to escape.

When I got into college, I met someone. Let's name him Pengu.

Pengu treated me like a princess. He surprises me every day! We were always together plus late night texts, phone calls, yahoo messenger, we were inseperable!

After a few months, everything changed! I thought we were brought together for a reason. That maybe, God wanted me to change him for the better but I was tortured emotionally, physically & I lost myself in the process.

I finally decided to break up with him after two and a half years. He begged me not to. So I tried to save the relationship again for the last time even if it doesn't feel right! The only thing that's holding me back is pity. He finally let me go days later.

I was able to move on easily but a part of me was gone and the pain became the focus of my life.

Summer came. I suddenly thought about joining organizations as a divertion. I discovered that there are many to choose from but "Singles for Christ" came into my mind so I searched for it and texted the contact person, Kuya Nino.

..Another chapter of my life

To become part of the SFC, I attended their CLP (Christian Life Program) which is consists of 12 talks:

Talk 01: God's Love
Talk 02: Who Is Jesus Christ
Talk 03: What It Means To Become A Christian
Talk 04: Repentance And Faith
Talk 05: Loving God
Talk 06: Loving Your Neighbor
Talk 07: The Christian Family
Talk 08 : Life in the Holy Spirit
Talk 09 : Receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit
Talk 10 : Growing in the Spirit
Talk 11 : Life and Mission of SFC
Talk 12: Transformation in Christ

It's not easy to serve. There are still problems and temptations. There's no excuse! The difference is that you will learn to be able to take things lightly and have a huge support system to pray & intercede for you!

I have gone through metanoia, "a change of heart", a working process.


I discovered/learned that:

1. I am a Princess!!

-and-

2. I am totally, completely and perfectly loved by my Father, The King of Kings!

With that, things will never be the same!

I'll end this post with one of the songs that really touched my heart. A song dedicated to my Father!

FOREVER

Here's the link if you want to listen to it, http://youtu.be/XJsB3QqBE3M

I'll Worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
For You my Dad and King
I'll live for all my days
To Put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet
It'll be for eternity

And Oh how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
And You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the cross

I'll worship You my God
I'll worship You my God
I love You
I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You
Be with You

Thoughts on a New Perspective

Hi Friends!

You might be wondering why I only have one post.
Honestly, I deleted everything that I have posted before.
It's time to write on a new perspective!

I'd like to share my journey and the lessons that comes with it.
You would also be reading about my reflections to some of Bo Sachez blog posts.
I hope you would learn from me and be inspired!

Lovelove :)

I Knew What I Want

Everyone comes to a point where they wonder what their purpose is. I did, for 22 years, I searched for that purpose but no matter what I do everything seems chaotic, I can’t sort it all out.


I’ve always loved reading Bo Sanchez books. I’m not aware that he has a blog until my friend posted one in facebook and ever since I have been reading one to three blogs per day.

My story

Since I’m not yet qualified to take the board exams this December, I decided to apply in Transcom as a human resource assistant. I figured that if I was able to get this job, I would be able to help my family and pay my review classes next year. I even prayed for it.
After 2 weeks, I finally got the job offer. I learned so much during my first week.  I was able to conduct phone interviews, background checks and encode datas. I had so much fun but unfortunately I got sick at the end of the week and was hospitalized.
My family told me to resign because they’re scared that I would be on my death bed soon. (Funny right?) Instead of arguing, I sent a message to my boss. I told her about what my family and I talked about and that I would be resigning on Monday.

Monday

I went to the office with cold feet. My boss and I arrived at the same time. She was in a hurry that I had to run after her. When we reached our department, she told me that she has a 4pm meeting and if I want I could make the resignation letter, leave it at her desk and go home (if ever I’m in a hurry).  So I did what she told me to do except the last two instructions, I waited for her in my cubicle. While waiting, I was able to talk to some of my officemates. I’m not going to mention what we talked about but it made me think about not leaving.

After my boss’ meeting, I approached her and asked if we could talk. So we did. Our conversation was not a boss/employee type but a sister/friend one. I loved that talk! It confused me in a way but it made me realize that I was happy with my job.

We have a CLP that time (to those who doesn’t know what CLP is, it is an abbreviation for Christian Life Program) so after we talked, I left and went straight to Vermont Park chapel. I can’t stop thinking about that “talk” me and my boss had so I prayed, “Lord I’m confused. Please let me know if you want me to keep my job or resign. Let your will be done.”

The next day, I have this confident feeling that I should resign but instead, I texted my boss if I could have another day to think about it and she said no, I had enough time. I replied with my resignation message, closed my eyes and pressed send. She didn’t reply.

God’s Message

A few days after my resignation blues, I asked God about what my purpose is and if I did the right thing. And he answered me.




http://bosanchez.ph/do-you-know-what-you-really-want/

“The easiest way for you to know God’s purpose is to look for the intersection between your passion and your potential.” In other words, find alignment.

Like Bo Sanchez, I failed in pursuing an HRA career because I went out of my two cicles of passion and potential.

Fulfilling your purpose may or may not to earn you money. And that’s okay. Life is not about earning money.

On his 5 steps on how to expand your territories blog (http://bosanchez.ph/5-steps-on-how-to-expand-your-territories/), I got myself asking, “What is my core gift?”. He provided two simple questions on how to answer this: 1. What do you enjoy doing 2. What are you good at

I answered those 2 questions unconsciously.

That’s when it hit me!

“Altruistic caring & Service”, that’s what I’m good at! And I don’t just enjoy it, it’s what I love doing!

Before I was blaming my mom for forcing me to take up Nursing (I really want to pursue Psychology) but now I know that God has placed me in my profession, maybe not to become a hospital staff  but it’s an edge. I knew he made me for something bigger!

To be honest with you, ever since I was a kid, it breaks my heart to see poor children (this started my dream to build my own orphanage) and their families on the streets begging for money. I wanted to do something, I wanted to help everyone but I can't. 

Now, I'm a step towards mending the pieces of my heart. I am serving poor children worldwide and waiting to serve cancer patient kids (fingers crossed). If lucky enough, I want to be deployed anywhere in the world!

How about you? Do you know what you really want? :)
