Of Worship and washing dishes
My friend Gutch shared a short impromptu message last Sunday at the church service with the locals of Bekes. He said that our long trek from La Union all the way to their place in Kibungan was a form of worship, in the same way that we sing songs in church, or do our laundry [...]
Life in Motion Part I
A lot can happen in a month. A lot has happened in the past month. I don’t even know where to begin. I do know that in the past month my life has been moving at warp speed and though I try to slow down, it seems that life is always on the go. I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Roots that go deep
“Should we not see that our Root is right, before expecting flowers and fruit?” – Scraps, Amy Carmichael The night before I left for Macau, I had a quiet, almost desperate plea to God: closure and proper [eternal] perspective. My ‘future plans’ weren’t going to happen as I had hoped they would, and more than [...]
Of birthday wishes, some losses and gaining wisdom, I hope
I spent the last five days vacationing in Macau with my twin sister Keren, my best friend Kay and my churchmate Meryll. It was the first birthday that I spent outside the country in which, purposely, I couldn’t be reached. I knew people would be texting me, greeting me in Facebook and sending me tweets [...]
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 [...]
Uncertainties
Nothing unsettles us more than uncertainties. The uncertainty of the future, of what is to become of our dreams, of what lies ahead. I admit: I am unsettled. For the first time in a long, long time, I’m suddenly faced with so many uncertanties and it’s very crippling. Do I leave my work? Will I [...]
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 [...]
