"It's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credits belongs to the man who is actually in the arena... Who, at the best, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold timid soulds who know neither victory or defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

Life is full of stom and surely we will encounter problems. But if we're willing to get out of the boat, two things will happen. First, if we fail - and we will fail sometimes - Jesus will be there to pick us up. We will not fail alone. We will find He is wholly adequate to save us. And second, every once in a while, we will walk on water!

I want to know Him more as never before. I choose to face my fears and step over the gunwales because the Master of the sea is waiting for me. :)

I want this book!!! I need this book!!! I just read its start and I was really shocked and with my two hands over my head, I was so impressed. And it goes like this..

"There is something - Someone - inside us who tells us there is more to live than sitting on a boat. You were made for something more... There is something inside you that wants to walk on water - to leave the comfort of routine exsistence and abandon yourself to the high adventure of following God."

the difference

Surrender is an every day must! :)

I am now realizing that surrender doesn't end the day you say, "Lord I surrender everything to You." But it's just the start. The very beginning of a pathway, painful and difficult, but affordable all because of His very GRACE. All because He is right there and if there would be someone else we will surely fail to walk on it! God's presence, God's companionship. This is what makes everything different!!! I'm now walking on waters. Yes. This is it! I would never again turn my back. I choose to walk on waters. And I will til God won't stop me! :) I'm actually enjoying this and Him.. I know, that though it's very hard, He is just a prayer away to lighten my burdens, though I got many doubts and question He satisfies and quiet me with His perfect Love. Amazing God I have! 


I thank God for the life of a special person. She's great. A blessing indeed! Always ready to give me a hand in times of need and help me in any kind of problems. :) I pray that one day I will be able to share my faith to her.

seven months

I just finished to watch again something very dear to me. The fruit of a very long process, or I should say one of the fruits of my present and future process. I can't forget the night Ptr. Benny talked to me. It was a year ago. He approched me in his humilty and talked to me sincerly. I still remember his words of wisdom and encouragement spoken over me. He challenged me. And right away I had a very long process and sharpening way to walk on! The fulfillment of our talk ended up on Mat 23, 2010. November, December, January, February, March, April, May! 7 months!!! 7 months of hard prayer, of difficulties and problems but now I know why! 
And I now know why God wanted me to teach about Broken Dreams. Because, looking back, I realized that I am one of those that through God's restoring Grace is dreaming again and trying again and all over again. I thought it was a lost battle but I actually forgot that He already won the victory though Christ Jesus!

So my suspicions were true?!?! I had then a great perception. LOL.

That would be a very nice, aprecieated and most wanted Christmas gift.. 

Haaaayss, really hoping so.. 

I can't wait for Christmas anymoreeee!!! 

PTL

It's been already two weeks that passed since Rhan left Milan for Edin. Sadly our girly plan to tour London can't happen. CYN Milan is actually organizing a lil escape in Barcelona this December. Hope that Ptrs will approve this! :D *happy kid* And if everything will be done according to the plans, we will probably meet Rhan :)


Life is going good.. I'm learning how to prioritize my priorities and this is a "To God Be The Glory" sung in the highest pitch ever!!! :) It's all because of His grace, family support and prayers of my Bestfriend! :) Though it's quite hard, yes I admit it. Duh. I'm giving up on things that doesn't really matter now and trying to focus on things that will bring life. Strong determination, high concentration, burning passion, God's strength, love from the family and a Bestfriend that is always available to help, understand and pray are needed to to fulfill your plans and dreams in life!!! :)

super mega McBacon - craving. 

goodness, mercy and favor

Psalm 23:6

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

God's Words are so true! Today again and all over again I experienced His never failing and costant favor! Being God's child really brings much blessings and benefits.. It's like when VIPs has free passes at concert or don't need to get in line. Can you picture that? Well, it's just the tip of the iceber because it's far beyond that!! Forever I will be thankful to Him.. My life would be never enough to pay what His love every morning, His from eternity to eternity faithfulness and his goodness and mercy that follows and overtakes me wherever I go.


ATM trying hard to play Guitar.. :) my fingers hurt so bad!!!

guitar

My new companionship... :)

Today is our very own Ashley Juaneza's birthday  ♥ 

tough deal

Since I canno't eat any of them, I will just post them. I and my Bestfriend have this deal: I can't eat sweets, icecreams and choccolates; he, instead, can't drink Coke.


This is very tough! :/ lol
I can do it!!!

only Bestfriends do that

I thank God for my Bestfriend's life.. So selfless. I shared with him some problems I had and he was so there at my side facing it. I have some difficulties in organizing my time. I fail each time to divide it and things to do are simply adding at my list every day that passes by. I found my self in need to do 7 important things! WOAH! And take note, I'm kinda lazy, that's why I most of the time am ending up in poseponing my stuffs and assingments. I thank God for letting him to be my Bestfriend. Without his help I would not be literally able to start anything. In his super busy life he still makes time for someone like me and he makes himself available to help me though he has million things to do. He will just stop his work and do mine! He is superb!! :D In just a split of a second I finished half of my work when if I did it all alone I would exert more or less 3 hours!!!
And it's amazing how he knows to lighten my burdens: he will just take his guitar, play G, and sing "Magnificent". He is my David.. :) His voice indeed carries the anointing!


I salute him.. :) and never I can thank him enough!

Now I'm done with my things and I'm looking forward for tomorrow. I'm super excited for the Youth Rage! :)

phonecall

I just recieved two-minutes-phonecall from Rhan! :) She was just asking me about the Barcelona thingy.. Truely she knows me.. I never thought she could "feel" me.. She surprisingly asked "Bakit ang tahimik jan?" I just faked an answer by saying "No, wala, nasa kwarto ako..." If only I have some international card here with me I would be phoning her right away..


How I miss her.. How I wish she was here - here to absorb everything.
