Two New Books to read

Last April 26 I bought two books from book sale. Good thing book sale sells a lot of second hand books that are really informative. I don't have enough money to buy two books so my sister Sarah lend me some money.  I bought two books "God came near" by my favorite author Max Lucado and "Seduction of Christianity" I'm not really familiar with the author but I think from the title itself it would be interesting. Lucado is really a good writer. He had written a lot of books with so many information about our Savior Jesus Christ. I admire him for writing such wonderful books. God really blessed him. He had changed millions of lives because of His books. Well now I'm already at Chapter 5 I hope I can finish it early so I can buy another book in book sale. God bless everyone! 

It is well written and wish to share some of the great passages and topics from this book next time here in my blog.

Charice's "One Day"

Before shutting my computer down. I just remembered the news that Charice had already released three of her new songs. Well I decided to check it out first.

What a great song to encourage other talented people who are still hiding to their cocoons. I dedicate this song for myself. I pretty needed some encouragement. I'm really a very shy person. Thanks to Charice what a wonderful song. God bless every one!

Our Performance

Just can't get this performance out of my head. I think this was one of our great performance in front of the crowd inviting the people to attend to our upcoming recollection that was held last April 9 Saturday. The recollection was very special because we have invited our dear Bishop Theodoro Bacani to be our guess speaker to the recollection. Good thing that many did attend and enjoyed our service. We will have another performance in front of many for our upcoming YCLSS. I hope they can record it again so I can post it in here. To God be the glory!

I was the one in front wearing pink. We also performed this during the said recollection.

God bless everyone!

Confession

Yesterday was Maundy Thursday. It was the time where every member of the Church is invited to confess there sins to Christ through there Spiritual Directors. It can either be a Priest or a Pastor. In our church I confessed my sins to our Priest. I don't know him but I often see him in church. Without second thoughts in my mind even he can see my face I confessed to him. My face is not important but my soul is.

My shepherding group headed by one of our youth leaders Kuya Nino invited us to have a confession and do the way of the cross. The other group members did not made it because there with there families spending there Holy week with them. Since Kuya Nino together with Jay John was the only two members of our community who don't have  parents anymore. Attended and joined the group. I decided to come since my family can't come. My Dad was on duty and my Mom decided to stay home doing other stuffs. My brothers and little sister weren't interested to come with me even just to confess. On my own I come with them. Our church was filled with people. I'm so grateful to be the third person to confess to our Priest. The line was long and many people wanted to confess. I told Kuya Nino that I have lots to confess. Trying to make him laugh I said my confession would take an hour or more. But within me I know that I really have many sins to confess. Confessing it all to our Parish Priest would not be enough. I think if I could sum it all it would take me a week or more just to confess it all. When its my turn to confess. My mind was snatched and the things I would like to confess got lost. All I have in my mind was nothing. Good thing I remembered one of the very temptation I'm struggling today. 


Many have told me being in a serious relationship is very risky. Especially when your really in love. Sometimes because of being too much in love it can cause you to give everything to the person you love. Even your own body. I love my boyfriend so much and I think I might give something to him not in the right time. I love him so much and I trust him and I believe that it won't happen to us. We both believe in marriage and sex should be sacred that it should be done after marriage. Confessing it to the Lord through our Parish Priest gave me strength to overcome this temptation. I know that temptation was only the first move of Satan to sin but I would like to confess it so Father(our Parish Priest could pray for the both of us). Satan is powerful but not powerful as God. If I depend to God in times I am tempted and both of us is. We can overcome temptation by praying and trusting to Him. Satan would not stop until he does not get what he wants. But if we submit ourselves to God declaring that God owns us Satan will flee. But as life goes on there will be more challenges and trials. Beneath these trials God is working so is Satan. But Me and my boyfriend should not be alarmed we trust God and each other. We know we can make it. 

There are things that I wished I confessed during the confession but since my mind was snatched by the devil I lost it. That's why I think prayer should always be the first move of every move everyone would make. Anyway I realized earlier that I'm also struggling another kind of sin. Not only temptation but a sin as well. I've been trying to get rid of this since last year through prayer. It seems that God is at work He let Satan flee. But since like what I said as long as God is in business so is Satan. So prayer must always be done. Satan would not stop until he does not get what he wants. He changes his form. He can make your old temptation into something new. He makes sure that the second time around you would probably fall to his trap. Like what I'm struggling I know these last semester God really tested me. There is these girl in school that is really popular. She can get what she wants. Every girl envy her. Everyone would die to get the things that she have. From the beauty, talent and brain she's also rich and powerful.  

Like what I often say my parents are really strict. They won't allow me to do things even how educational or helpful it may be. If it wasn't for school well don't do it or don't go. Because of it I believed my self esteem lowered and I pretty needed some encouragement. Seeing her in school confident to have all the things that she wanted put envy in me. I wish I could be like her. She can do anything. Her parents also encourages her to do things even it's not for school. I really envy her for having a parents like them. I've been struggling to lose this envy in me since last year so I often pray to God. Because of it it made me realize that God made her different so am I. I should be happy for who I am and for who my parents are. My parents are really strict but because of them I became hungry of God's words and became curious to Him. They wont allow me to attend any church activities or to be active in curricular activities. Because they believe that it will only waste time and money. If not's for school don't! But because of these they made me drew closer to God.

Still trying to lose this envy in my heart God teaches me a lot of things. Especially to be confident because God loves me whoever I maybe. 

I wished I have confessed more yesterday. Next time I won't allow the devil to snatch the things that I should have confessed. Through Jesus Christ and prayer I know that Satan will flee from me and I can say all the things I wanted to say during confession. Confessing face to face with our Parish Priest was also another temptation for me. It may put me to shame so it pushes me not to confess. But because God is with me and His Holy Ghost worked upon me. I did it I confessed some of my sins. But confessing it to someone is not enough. It is always good to confess it to Jesus Christ through sincere prayers.
 

Trading my sorrows

I've been LSS for this song since everyday. LOL! I'm planning to use this song for my campaign "I say Yes to Jesus". I'm about to finish the video. I hope my youth would like it. God bless everyone!

Answered prayers

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 
                                                                                         - Luke 11:9-10


God really answer prayers at the right time and place. God answered one of my prayers He did not fail me. And it made me more to love Him more. Last semester was one of my worst semester ever. If I could only make the time stop and go back to the time I would probably pick my last semester. On my knees I often find myself talking to God begging Him to give me another chance to make it out this semester. My grades now are not enought to atleast make it to Cum Laude. I already have a grade of 3 in Physics during the Midterm period. And it's a few weeks till the semester ends. I'm doomed! I have nowhere to go so I asked God to help me so I can make it out to my grades. Before I study for our final exam I made a Sign of the Cross prayed and asked God. I also added that if ever I did made it or not I will still give glory to Him.


It's now our finals week. Didn't have enough sleep I went to school a bit late. When I Professor finally gave us the paper. My mind is now set to it. Given more time I'm the last one to pass the test paper. Praying again to God giving Him all the glory fail or pass. 


Yesterday was the releasing of our grades. Holding my cross necklace I prayed "Lord please let me pass". Not looking at Physics first I quickly noticed that I have no grade of 3 in the card. God is really good! I got 2.50 in Physics its my lowest. I passed and my average can still make me to Cum Laude! I asked God only to make me pass but He gave me more than than. He also gave me a chance to make it to Cum Laude. 


With all my effort I will not fail God for the chance. God is really great! He really answer prayers. Just really have to trust Him and He will answer our prayers at the right time and place. No matter how impossible it may be ask it to the Lord and He will answer. God is not irritated whether you repeat it again and again. God listens just really have to put our trust in Him.

Doing it all for Him

Just edited some pictures. I can't believe that now I'm doing these for the Lord. I love you Lord God! Your Love has taught me to live now! Thank You for everything. The day I met You was the happiest day of my life. Now I'm falling deeply in love with You! What can I ask for more You love me unconditionally. As long as I live I will love and serve You Lord! To God be the glory!

This is me! Living for the glory of God.

Every Move I Make

Tired just got home from Church. I've been dancing, singing, talking, walking around, giving leaflets and praying. It almost take me 12 hours in the Church just doing the same thing again and again. And I love it! I feel so very happy because I'm doing it for the glory of God. I hope others will experience what I had experienced today. Not only the lot of dancing, singing and walking stuffs but also the passion that moves me to do it all. God's love inspires me to do it. I know God created me for a purpose and that purpose is to give Him praise. I know my praises are not enough after all the things He'd done for us. But as long as I live I will give Him praises not only by regularly attending the Church but also doing things that pleases Him. My purpose is to give Him glory and that's what I'm doing! God's love moves me. God bless everyone!
