When God turns your TV off …
A few days ago, our TV went bust. It wasn’t entirely my fault because for some time now, it’s been having some signal problems. But I did aggravate the whole thing. I tried to remedy it by meddling with the cable until I felt something loosened and then, “crap. I think I accidentally dislodged the [...]
The God behind Golf and incomplete figures
I was really beat up when I got home last night after a full, full day at the Philippine Navy Golf Club. The missions team organized a Golf Tournament to raise funds for the Cambodia missions trip. There were many setbacks. Without Tito Jun, the organization and promotion lagged behind. Out of more than a [...]
Of faith and Shamcey
A late post on Shamcey Supsup and the answer that made headlines At least, to me. People have given various explanations as to why she didn’t win. Some Filipinos, being the defenders we are of our kababayans, unfortunately, went through the lengths of protesting her defeat, as though they can change the matter altogether. Hello [...]
Life at a blink of an eye
I’ll use the first sentence from a friend’s email which greeted me today, “Life is happening at an incredible rate of warp speed, I hear it going on, people running all around, a blur of busyness and purpose….” It’s my first day today since I left work, something I’ve been looking forward to since last [...]
When feelings betray
In the Four spiritual laws track of Campus Crusade, there’s a part there where it discusses the role that feelings play, at least, in being saved. How important gauges are our feelings? When we accept Jesus Christ and are saved, there may or may not be an emotional experience. Some would feel an instant peace [...]
Headed to the beautiful unknown.
Just right after the Vesper service tonight, I met up with Pastor Mac and shared with him the things that are bothering my heart now. Many things. That of ending work, that of new beginnings, that of wanting to study, that of my future. I opened up to him (and upon ate anne’s arrival) that [...]
Setting it straight
There’s been a lot of rumors floating around about my departure. It’s become a hot topic among the few rumormongers in the office. I don’t get that. I don’t understand why some make it a business to know what my personal plans are. The only people that should concern this are my boss and me. [...]
Kindergarten faith
I found myself in a very awkward situation and I think I didn’t handle it well. I was really caught off guard. Now I’m beginning to realize how bad I am at nailing these moments of vulnerability and raw emotion. I don’t know. I guess I’m not good at hiding what I feel. When I’m [...]
Walking by Faith and Not by Sight
So goes 2 Corinthians 5:7. I was just reminded of this verse now that The Day draws nearer. I admit: I am prone to fear, to worry, to doubt. On my way home after a late night coffee date with Bernadette, we talked about trusting in God unreservedly, and no partiality. When you claim God’s [...]
Holding on to 1 Thessalonians 5
And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for [...]
