Cellgroup

JULY 18, 2009

10:12 PM

We are going to have our cell group! At long last! Three of us would be leading the Cell group, me, Punz (Jerick), and Jeh (Jerrylyn). Punz will be teaching the men, me and Jeh will be teaching the girls..

I have just experienced the awesomeness of God, His sovereign power! Supposedly, I will be teaching the college students, and Jeh will be the highschoolers, but she requested na magkaroon siya ng college student to teach para may kasama siyang sumagot just in case there will be students who has questions.. I haven’t figured out how we are going to divide the girls…

And so, while I  was riding toward church, I remembered on how YOU PRAYED FIRST before you chose Your disciples.. so, I prayed ‘whoever You would give to me, I will be faithful in teaching them..’

At church, we decided na magbunutan na lang sila para may “equality”, at least doon, we would not choose. It will be God’s own choosing for us.. even us (me and Jeh) ay nagbunutan of what number are we going to teach.. to my surprise, the one’s I’ve been hoping to teach were the one’s I am going to teach indeed! In fact, almost all of the college students were given to me, and Jeh too’s request was answered, there were in fact college students in her group..! wow! God really works!

Thank You Lord… and like I’ve prayed..

I will be faithful in teaching the young people whom you faithfully gave to me..

Guide us Father. Lead us.. may we glorify You..!

MY PRAYER

JULY 14, 2009

11:00  PM

I am excited! Excited to see on how God will work on us, the praise and worship team and on the youths on Friday (RETREAT AND RECREATION), to which we’ll be leading…

I am excited to see the lives of young people who are about to be changed, to be renewed, to be touched by the Holy Spirit… I am excited to see, young people, rising up as army of praisers and worshipers of the Lord… I am excited to see the glory of the Lord fall down upon His people. Excited to hear the shouts of joy, the praises rising up, trembling at the house of the Lord!

Lord what could I say? I am in awe, amazed, honored, humbled on how You uses someone like us. Help us to remember the reason why we will singing, why we will play, why we will dance. It is because of You, it’s all about YOU.

Music is a beautiful part of bringing our worship to You, the dances and the singing. But it’s not the core, the very essence of worship Is YOU LORD, IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU.

So teach us to just LOOK UNTO YOU, and not the talents we could bring… we are giving it all to You…

It is our prayer Lord that people will not be drawn unto us, but they may see You in us, and will cause them to worship You Father, in spirit and in truth..

Lord, what an incredible opportunity to share our life with the youths, to share our beliefs, our creed, to share with them our joy, our passion, our cry in praising and worshiping…

Bless us Lord, we pray... we cannot do it alone… move in us.. draw in us Lord. Your Holy Spirit guide us an detach us what to so, what to say, that we may best glorify Your NAME.

Whether it be for the edifying of the church or just simply for Your glory.. Lord, have Your way… 

this life is not ours, it’s not ours, so we’re giving it back…

This is our thanksgiving, our praise, our worship..

May we be joyful always, be sensitive in Your holy Spirit

Let there be Lord, songs of singing

Let there be beautiful music playing

Let there be dancing and clapping

For You have done great things O Lord

You deserve all praise…! Amen and Amen...

YOU

Plus One

Me,
It was always all about me
My job, my plans, my time
That's all I cared about
Myself, I only need myself
To get me through my life
But suddenly I found... That...

[Chorus:]
I want, I need
I crave, I breathe
I feel, I hold
I dream, I know
I trust, I love
You

Life, I'm just discovering life
How magical it is
Because of all you are
These days,
I wake up and I'm amazed
How much I want to give
Since you touched my heart

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
It wasn't luck
It wasn't fate (No it wasn't fate)
There's just one reason my world's changed
(One reason my world's changed it was you)

[Repeat Chorus]

This song will be for my song analysis on Saturday..

I pray thee that God will use this song, in bringing His children to never forget

SECOND CHANCE

JULY 01, 2009

3:40 PM

The day has started.. counting days has begun.. 30 days until the results will come out…

And it’s all about TRUSTING and HOPING, and PRAYING… Surely God knows and will give what we deserve… and again…

Whatever happens, whatever the results are… I will still thank God.. praise Him and worship Him…

For this second chance.. for another opportunity..

We did our best… we’ve done everything we could…

It was physically and mentally exhausting… yet.. it’s all up to God now..

It’s all up to Him…

“Lord, You said to ‘ask and it will be given, seek and we will find, knock and the door will be opened’. We cast all our cares upon You… you and only You can give delight in our hearts.

Be glorified in our lives Lord…

It’s all up to YOU Lord…

I put my trust, my cares, my hopes in You alone

…”Amen

My Doji

JUNE 29, 2009

11:00 AM

Just this morning, ma brought a bad news.. my dog doji passed away…

I cried terribly.. he was my first dog that was given to me by Dona… it hurts so bad.. even though Doji was just a pet dog, we treated him as part of our family.

It hurts so bad knowing that I could never see him again, play with, bath with, be fed… I haven’t even heard his bark, or even climbed our stairs…

It hurts to lose someone you dearly loved..

Still Lord, I want to thank You, even in  small amount of time, nakasama ko si Doji, he brought delight in our home, in me.. I will surely miss my puppy…

I could not scold him when he’s wasting his food, or peed anywhere inside our house, I could not touch him or bring him to unwind at the beach…

Once in my life, I had Doji… Thank You Lord…

Psalm 42

English Standard Version (ESV)

Book Two
Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

 ¹ As a deer pants for flowing streams,
   so pants my soul for you, O God.
² My soul thirsts for God,
   for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?^[b]
3 My tears have been my food
   day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
   “Where is your God?”
⁴ These things I remember,
   as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
   and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
   a multitude keeping festival.

 ⁵ Why are you cast down, O my soul,
   and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
   my salvation^[c] 6 and my God.

   My soul is cast down within me;
   therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
   from Mount Mizar.
⁷ Deep calls to deep
   at the roar of your waterfalls;
all your breakers and your waves
   have gone over me.
⁸ By day the LORD commands his steadfast love,
   and at night his song is with me,
   a prayer to the God of my life.
⁹ I say to God, my rock:
   “Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning
   because of the oppression of the enemy?”
¹⁰ As with a deadly wound in my bones,
   my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me all the day long,
   “Where is your God?”

 ¹¹ Why are you cast down, O my soul,
   and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
   my salvation and my God.

I miss YOU

We went to PRC this day to see our school/room assignment. Gaya ng dati, sa MLQU kami ni Grace.. then accompanied her to Quaipo church…

Hmm.. I should suppose to worship You Lord, but I can’t… all I could do was to stare at the statues, stare at ceiling, and stare at the people… I can’t worship You Lord in a house full of idols.. I can’t.. but uttered a prayer to my God and only true God…

Exodus 34:14

English Standard Version (ESV)

I miss You, worshiping with all the people who knows Your Truth, Your Word..

I could just passed by the Central Umc, knowing You have seen me, and understood that I haven’t worshipped in Your church..,

But still Lord, I do miss You…

I miss my church, my family, my home… where I truly belong…

Tomorrow will be another day, another step before our board exam.. be with us Father…

While holding the test result of January ALE, I remembered my papang… I know He is watching over me up in Your heavenly throne Father…

This is for papang

            This is for my family

                        This is for my church and friends

                                    This is for You Lord

                                                Above all…

May you be glorified in all that I do Lord…

Let me have that hope
