A BLOGG.. (april 13'09)

i’ve learned from a slip. *waah! nabagok sya?*

last sunday..we went to our centers to teach the children..most likely 10yrs. old bellow. there were really young children, there was a baby! we told stories about the resorection of Jesus from the dead, what was easter all about and alot of things. we sang, played games, did activities and played games again.

we were enjoying it soo much. the game was butch ball, you hit the studnts with a ball and they run so that they wont be touched by it. they were happy, they laughed very hard and played like a pro. then suddently, i heard someting, i looked away and saw a little girl maybe about 3yrs. old. lying on the floor crying and all the students went to see her. at first i was scared, as i went close to her i said “hala! ang lakas..baka nabagok!”. i was really scared. why? because we were incharge we should have taken care of them. we were careless!

then the mom came, she looked angry and took her baby without a word. *yieks!* we can’t force ourselves to calm ‘coz what if something happened to the child??

As the sunday school was finished we all decided to sit for a while and pray for our center, the parents around us, the child’s family and her condition as well. we prayed really hard as we can and went to the little girls house. we saw her lying on the floor and beside her was her mom. we apologized to her and thanked her for understanding us.

She wasn’t even angry or what, she was calm and still nice to us. we all agreed “si God talaga ang gumalaw.” it was a good feeling that God was in control of the situation. though we were anxious to all negative possibilities, He knew what to do.

He thought us what to say. personally, ministry isn’t an option, it’s our obligation. God thought me that and my mission is to show the world His love, there’s no other. the only thing that made us complete is to know what and WHO we live for. God.

a piece of cake!!! (copied) still i learned!

A Piece of Cake

A little boy is telling his grandma how everything is going wrong…..school, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack,which, of course, he does.

“Here, have some cooking oil.”

“Yuck” says the boy.

“How about a couple raw eggs?”

“Gross, Grandma!”

“Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?”

“Grandma, those are all yucky!”

“Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves, but when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

God works the same way. Many times we wonder why he would let us go through such bad and difficult times, but God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good!

We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!” God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.

Whenever you want to talk, He’ll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

..wow! God is actually in the bussiness of teaching me alot of things! maybe that’s why God is putting me through places that are hard to fit in. bechause He want’s me to be flexible enough to adjust and deal with things His way. i’ll follow him!

is it really GOODBYE? will it end there?

copied story. –>

It was a very fine day. The sun is shining brightly and the fresh air is blowing gently. It seems to be a very perfect day. She was sitting on the grass, looking up silently in the sky, she told herself, “the memories of the past were still fresh, as if it just happened yesterday”. She closed her eyes and tried to reminisce the past.

Once in her life, she fell in love, got hurt and had shed so many tears. It was an experience worth crying for and worth remembering.

It was a gloomy day and the sky is filled with clouds, but still the day didn’t affect the true feeling which they feel for each other. Matt was ready to tell Anne what he really feel and he is ready to face the consequences that will come on their way. They were sitting beside each other when Matt finally had the courage to say, “Anne, I love you. Let’s face tomorrow together”. Anne was a bit shocked but she was happy because she waited long enough to hear those words from him. She smiled and answered, “I love you too. Let’s help each other build a nice relationship. They smiled and hug each other tight. That time, raindrops began to fall and they were wet with the blessings of God. It was the start of the nice relationship they once wished to have; the beginning of the love, the love they kept for so long and now it’s in each other’s heart.

They studied hard; each other became their inspiration, their family and God who showed them that prayers really work. Having a serious relationship was not that easy but they help each other to fulfill their obligations to their family, in school and to God. Each day of their lives were full of memories and events of the true love they shared.
Days have passed and even though they shared lots of happy moments with each other, still there were things which are not meant to stay with them forever.

It seems to be a perfect day. They were in each others arms in a beautiful grassland with lots of flowers and trees. It’s as if the day wants to join with their happiness being with each other in that kind of place. But, was it really happiness?

Matt, who was trying to weigh every second said, “Anne, you know how much I love you and you’ll always be part of my dreams. It’s really hard, but I need to leave…” Hearing those most painful words, tears started rolling from her eyes, she answered, “I love you too and I’ll never stop loving you. I really hate to let you go but I don’t want to be a hindrance for you to follow your dreams. You must leave because your dreams are waiting for you there”. It was not easy for him to hear those words from her, “but Anne, I promise to…” “Stop it, Matt”. Anne interrupted. “Don’t leave me with your promises. I want you to concentrate on fulfilling your dreams there. I’m setting you free. If the time comes that you already reached your dream and you still remember me, I’ll still be here, I’ll still be here”.
He wiped the tears falling from her eyes and hugged her tight; never want to let her go. “I’ll miss you Anne, definitely. Can… can I kiss you for the last time?” Instead of answering, she closed her eyes and waited. She felt that tender, gentle kiss full of love. It was all in that kiss; the love they felt for each other, the love they once shared and now the love they need to set free. When their lips parted, a new chapter in their life is waiting for them.
She could not stand any longer, so she sat on the grass, still her tears falling. “Anne”, Matt called. She got up and said, “No, Matt. I don’t want to hear your goodbyes. All I need is to hug you one last time and I’m sure I’ll be fine. She went near him and hugged him tight. For the last time she said, “May God bless you, Matt. Take care of yourself there. Don’t forget to pray always”. After saying those words, she ran away as fast as she could without knowing where to go.

“Anne…!” he shouted, but the sight of her was gone.
She heard him calling her name but she didn’t bother to look back. It was over, there’s a new chapter of their lives waiting for them now.
Anne opened her eyes and wiped her tears. Now she had grown into a lady; a successful CPA. It was four years ago since that event in her life happened, but still she was still hoping that one day, their paths will meet again and they’ll form new memories together.

“I LOVE YOU, Matt. I’ve never stop loving you”.

the names of the characters are just invented.. for some complicated reasons..

today, i remember to live and to love

we live, we love

we forgive and never give up.

‘coz the days we are given are gifts from above.

and today we remember to live and to love.

- One of my fave bands and sang the song I’ve shown above, SUPERCHICK.

“we live, we love

we forgive and never give up.”

-..hehe..xempre, in life LOVE will always be there. We love our family, friends, schoolmates, teachers, and of course the ’special someone’. But, unfortunately the nice, joyful, sweet feeling love brings might someday cause pain greater than expected.

In school you graduate and have your life away from those people whom you’ve spent everyday of your school life and eventually forget. teachers are forgoten, friends fight and part ways when once in your life they were the ones who never left you in hard times. family grows old, dies and leave you without letting you have the chance to say goodbye. Lovers hurt you..leave on you, forget you and use you.

After all the tears, forgive..the only way out of being tied up in all the pain.

And never giving up is a simple sign of God, when Hope crashes down the ULTIMATE encouragement is God. People can never learn forgiveness without Jesus. And with His grace you’ll gain strength to NEVER GIVING UP.

“‘coz the days we are given are gifts from above.”

-2 Cor 9:15 “Thank You God for this gift * too wonderful for words. “

“…every good and perfect gift is from above. “

“and today we remember to live and to love.”

- after all the hardships there is still part of us to believe in life, have faith and love those who deserve to be loved. :))
