WELCOME DOS MIL DOSE

DOS MIL DOSE!

It's another year to experience the greatness of my savior.

My year 2011 ended with a blast-- I spent the New Year's Eve celebration with the Tebalan's and Lagman's. Although I didn't get to spend my DOS MIL DOSE welcome with my family back home, I am still embracing the new year to come with optimism in my heart and still looking forward for a 365 days of God's LOVE.

I'll start school "again" on January and it's gonna be a different one since I'll be schooling here in the United States and f0r sure, I will learn in a different way. I'm still a little bit nervous and challenge for the next journey of my life and up to this moment I am not yet sure if I'm prepared for the new "story book" of my life but I'm willing to just close my eyes and look up to whatever story God will allow me to experience this year.

My dos mil onse was the best year of my life so far. It's just this year that I get to appreciate the beauty of life despite the difficulties and unexpected circumstances, the wonders of God's creation despite the calamities and the positive attitude despite the sudden drop of expectations. It's this year that I built my relationship with the Lord, It's this year that I experienced LIFE itself and it's this year that I felt overflowing joy and contentment.

I wanna end my year with a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord for giving me another opportunity to serve Him and another year to appreciate life with Him. Lord, take me-- take all of me, I am ready for Dos Mil Dos~ just use me for your glory.

Broken Trust

Trusting someone is like going into a tunnel, it's dark, it's creepy.

And the darker the tunnel, the more dangerous it gets. It may look nice when you're not inside but when you're inside it, negative thoughts will always blur your vision. And like the tunnel, judgment sometimes look good on the outside because you'll feel people are listening to you and you are earning attention from others but it don't feel good on the inside when people knew about YOU.


I don't like it when people judge me in an unreasonable way.


You have been looking up and have put so much trust with a person then all of a sudden all you expected of that someone changed in just a tick of the clock. I may have grown step by step when it comes to my faith with God but human as I am, I could still be hurt with people being so judgmental with who I am.


I hope it's true but it's not. I hope it's right but it's wrong. I hope it's a "healthy criticism" but it's more of a gossip.


Despite the "christian" life that this person has, it pains me still that this person talks so much to others about others to the point of giving out information even if it's not true and if I didn't have any one on one experience with the Lord, I could have failed and this person could be the reason why I would not want to continue what I have started...but just because I am eager to press in and push more with the faith that I have, the pain that I am feeling towards this person was converted to love and understanding. It even gave me more reason to continue my stride with God.



I hope a believer like me will have the same motivation that I have. I hope they wont make God accountable of what so called, "christian" imperfections.


CONTINUE TO LOVE OTHERS.

CONTINUE YOUR WALK WITH CHRIST.


It's okay to be hurt with the Lord. Remember, we have to carry our cross and follow Him.


That verse alone should gave us enough reason to be motivated despite the pain that we are experiencing.


WHOEVER YOU ARE, I STILL LOVE YOU.

I just wanna give God the credit and I know we were destined to meet we just didn't know it's here! ^___^ I couldn't thank Him enough for the experience I never thought I could be able to experience.
