what a day...
this day might have greatly changed a lot of lives especially of those who were affected. i wasn't there when it happened. i even don't have a business there that might have been blown up too. but it did changed something in me too. i was greatly affected too. by realizing something. something that i didn't expect to happen. something that i'm not sure if i should be happy or not. i'm worried. for i might got something that i shouldn't have. or maybe i'm intended to have but i got it at the wrong time. maybe this incident accidentally triggered it. i don't know exactly what to feel. but i'm happy.
now today is a special day, i don't know what's gonna happen next. but i'm hoping that things will fall in its right place. i'm leaving it all in God's hands. i know in Him is the only place i would be secure. as for this special something that i have, i'm letting it stay. i love it. i'm lovin' it...ü

Feeding on the Word -- DAILY Nutrition
Reading the Bible - every single day - without fail... How important is it for Christians to be engaged in daily bible reading? What does God promise to those who feed on his word daily?A healthy baby has a healthy appetite. If you have truly been "born" of the Spirit of God, you will have a healthy appetite. The Bible says, "As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby," (1 Peter 2:2). Feed yourself every day without fail. Job said, "I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food," (Job 23:12). The more you eat, the quicker you will grow, and the less bruising you will have. Speed up the process and save yourself some pain -- vow to read God's Word every day, without fail. Say to yourself, "No Bible, no breakfast. No read, no feed." Be like Job, and put your Bible before your belly. If you do that, God promises that you will be like a fruitful, strong and healthy tree (see Psalm 1). Each day, find somewhere quiet, and thoroughly soak your soul in the Word of God.
There may be times when you read through its pages with great enthusiasm, and there may be other times when it seems dry and even boring. But food profits your body whether you enjoy it or not. As a child, you no doubt ate desserts with great enthusiasm. Perhaps vegetables weren't so exciting. If you were a normal child, you probably had to be encouraged to eat them at first. Then, as you matured in life you were taught to discipline yourself to eat vegetables. This is because they would physically benefit you, even though they may not have at the time, brought pleasure to your taste buds.

Save Yourself Some Pain
The next ten articles will cover the basics of Christianity. If you're a new Christian, they will help you save yourself a lot of pain, and if you're a "backslidden" Christian, they will get you on the right track...
Becoming a Christian is the most incredible event that will ever take place in your life. You have found peace with your Creator. You have found everlasting life! Be assured--God will never leave you nor forsake you. He has brought you this far and He will complete the wonderful work He has begun in you. God knows your every thought, your every care and your deepest concerns. Let's now look at some of those possible concerns. First, and of primary concern -- do you have "assurance" of your salvation? The Bible says to "make your calling and election sure" (2 Peter 1:10, italics added), so, let's go through a short "checklist" to make sure that you are truly saved:
|
Think of it this way... You have violated the law and face a $50,000 fine. You tell the judge that you are truly sorry for your crime, but he answers, "So you should be -- you have broken the law! Now, can you pay this fine?" He can only acquit you if the fine is paid. If someone else pays your fine, then he can let you go, but he must have "grounds" on which to release you.
The reason we need a substitute (a savior) to pay our moral "fine," is because we have broken God's Law. To see how much we have transgressed this Law (the Ten Commandments), we will go through some of them -- Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen something? Have you ever lusted after another person? If you answered "Yes" to these questions, you admit that you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart, and you have to face God on Judgment Day! If you have used His name in vain, then you are guilty of "blasphemy" -- you've substituted God's holy Name for a curse word. Perhaps you've hated someone, then the Bible says that you are a murderer. You have violated God's holy Law, and you're in BIG trouble. On Judgment Day, you will be found guilty and end up in Hell. That's why you need the Savior. Merely being sorry for your sins, or confessing them to God won't help you. You must turn from sin (repent), and your faith must be in Jesus Christ alone. He is the only "grounds" for God to grant mercy towards you. If you're not sure of your salvation, make Psalm 51 your own prayer.
Let's now look at some more important principles that can save you a great deal of pain...

the voice of truth! that i'll listen to..
by Casting Crowns
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
Coz Jesus you are the voice of truth!
And I will listen to you...
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
you are the voice of truth Jesus...
i'm not gonna let them pull me down..
i will listen only to your voice and follow you...
you and you alone only knows what's there for me. you have set everything in place for me. i only need to follow you.
this is for your glory my God...
you are the voice of truth!

awakening dream!
by Switchfoot
Face down with the LA curbside endings
In the ones and zeros.
Downtown was the perfect place to hide.
The first star that I saw last night was a headlight
of a man-made sky, but
Man-made never made our dreams collide.
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, We're awakening
Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines,
With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know that I've ever felt so alive, alive
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, We're awakening
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my heart's still beating,
It's beating, I'm bleeding.
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my heart's still beating,
Is beating, Is beating, It's beating, I'm bleeding
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talk, talking in your sleep
About a dream, We're awakening dream, We're awakening
Yeah!

nervous to the highest power!
i finally felt really nervous for all my plans. for my dream. some things are falling into its right place again. it seems my dream is on its jumpstart to reality. and i'm really excited! i know God is working on it. and all i have to do is follow Him. He's been revealing things connected to my dream for a year. but now is the time that i should put some pressure on myself. getting ready is finish. this is it. the starting lane. and i'm getting nervous.. God is starting to show off. He is so cool!
i just have to put this nervous out of the scene. i've done it with insecurities. almost. i think.. of course i did. i believe i can do it also with this nervous. come on! i can do this! we can do this God! let's do this together! i'm very much excited to fulfill my dreams with you. to fulfill your purpose for me :)
i will sing of your love forever... my goal is to please you in everything i do. in every song that i sing. in every music that i play. i want your every word to be placed in the hearts of every single person. it makes no difference whether anyone applauds or not. i'm not called to be famous anyway. i'm called to be faithful...

just a smile...
Won't you come up closer
I want to, hear you breathe
I'm walking down the street
I'm lost at sea
But out of the crowd you smile
And you're all I see
You make me feel like I,
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Just a smile
I wanna meet you someday soon
Cause I know you in my mind
Everything will be different
When I have you right beside
You can take the whole wide world
With your boyish charm
But even as you pull me close
I want to stay in your arms
You make me feel like I,
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
When I look for you in everyone
I thought I'd search the world in vain
Now you look at me
And the search is done
We will never be the same
Not the same.
You make me feel like I
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Oh you make me feel like I
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Just a smile, a smile
Just a smile...
---
rain rain go away come again another day little children want to play...
just a smile... a smile... oh i can't forget the smile. that smile... :D

Victory!
lessons ended. it's time to check-in at the hotel. we're in room 1908. this time, the activity is more exciting! and i'm nervous. so nervous i can't eat! hehe.. pero nakapag-pictorial hehe! it's our one on one counseling with our Spiritual Leader. with our Spiritual Mom. it really made me nervous! i was tensed! i was funny. hehe.. when Barbie came i was a little relieved. she told her funny experience in the elevator pa. hehehe! and thank God our roommate's leader came first so they went first hehe! we just waited, seated, chatting at the corridor but someone came and told us it's not allowed to stay there. hmph! so we went at the lobby to find a place but it's full with the other girls waiting for their turn. it was also the first time we (including Barbie) saw her Sunsilk commercial and full video with Kitchie. it just happened that the person who had it was there too. we had fun viewing it! haha! the "super kaway" hehe! panalo talaga hehe! afterwards, we went at the 2nd floor to look for a place and there! we found a perfect one hehe.. we just hanged-out there with Martin. my nervous then disappeared. we were having fun kasi. but still somehow praying it'll take long pa before we start hehe!until the time has come for us. goodness! here's my nervous again! waaahhh!!! we were alone in our room na. and i can't hand her my booklet! haha! Barbie told me not to be shy that it's just okay. that she went through it too. but i can't help it eh! hehe.. so she gave me a few minutes pa to relax hehe! funny siguro ng itsura ko nun. i can't imagine. hehe.. and so.. relaxing is done. and still i'm not relaxed. hehe.. but we started na. i can't escape na! this is it! hehe! as the counseling went on. i was being releived little by little.. the feelings that wants to come out during the discussions at the Center came out little by little. the heavy feeling is starting to lighten. there's just this one part i kinda suffered letting go. it was really hard. i feel really down with it. but Barbie's doin everything to help me let go of it na. until i cried over it. i blurted it out thru tears.. the feelin was really heavy inside. i can't control it. i can't forgive myself. i felt really guilty. but God and Barbie comforted me. they let me rest in their arms. it took a long time but it was great! after that the feelin was so great! i feel so clean i feel so new! i feel so refreshed! and above all.. i'm free! i've already been freed from the prison of my sins. that was a night i won't forget for the rest of my life. the night that changed me.
2nd day.. baptism of the Holy Spirit and Water Baptism na! we had great fun during the Water Baptism. lamig ng tubig sa pool! hehe! it was really enjoy! hehe.. after all the activities. i really feel so new. the feeling was really great talaga. i can't explain it! i really felt the spiritual freedom.
exactly one month ago june16-17,2006 was the most important day of my Christian life. it's the day of my deliverance.
thank you Barbie for helping and guiding me. thank you that you prayed for me to be saved. you're a blessing! you're my angel! :)
and thank you Lord for saving me. thank you Lord for loving me first! i am your forever princess... let's have a life-long walk :) i love you!
