Natutong Isulat



                                                        My JournalsYear 2017

Taong 2013, gamit ang notebook at ballpen ay nagsimula akong magjournal. Natutunan ko ito sa aming Deaconess. May paraan siyang ibinigay sa amin kung paano namin ito sisimulan. Ang morning devotion ay binubuo ng Scripture, Lesson/Reflection, Application, Prayer (SLAP). Ang Scripture  ay pagbabasa ng Salita ng Diyos at isusulat yung talata na kung saan nangusap sa iyo ang Panginoon. Ang lesson ay patungkol sa kung ano ang natutunan sa napiling talata. Ang application ay kung ano ang nais gawain na konektado sa nabasa at naisulat na talata. Ang panghuli ay ang pagsulat ng iyong sariling panalangin (Prayer). Sa gabi naman ay itinatala ang mga bagay na ipinapasalamat (Things I'm Grateful About), mga mahahalagang pangyayari sa araw na iyon (best thing happaned/worst thing happened) at laging nagtatapos sa panalangin. 

Ang pagjo-journal ay nakatulong sa akin upang personal kong makilala ang Panginoon. Sa pang-araw araw na nakababasa ako ng Kanyang Salita ay naliliwanagan ako sa mga bagay-bagay. Hindi ko ito agad agad naipagpatuloy. Dumaan din ako sa punto na nahihirapan ako dahil maraming mga bagay na dapat tapusin sa school at sa bahay. Patigil-tigil din ako at mayroon ding pagkakataon na gumagawa na lamang ako dahil ito ay linggo linggo na tinitingnan ng aming Deaconess. Noong una ay hindi ko nakita ang kahalagahan nito ngunit habang tumatagal hanggang ngayon taong 2021 ay lubos kong nakita ang kagandahang dulot nito sa akin. Nagpapasalamat ako sa aming Deaconess na nagturo sa akin na mag journal. Dahil sa kaganapang ito ng aking buhay, natuto ako na mapalapit sa ating Panginoon, kausapin Siya sa pananalangin, maisulat ang personal kong saloobin araw- araw at ang makita na laging may panibagong bukas ako na haharapin-panibagong umaga at pag-asa.

Cultural Diversity and Inclusiveness: HMC Student Deaconesses and Home Missioners and their Dormitory Life and Training

  “We might appear as opposites, but we are not opposed. We might appear to be different, but we are not separate”. This remark by author and poet Brian Thompson aptly captures our lives as Harris Memorial College students. We come from different parts of the Philippines, grew up in various cultures, and are now striving to live together in a dormitory while studying. But is it really possible to live together amidst differences while carrying the culture that we grew up with?                           Most students are to be deaconesses and home missioners. They are lay people who have had professional training and have been moved by the Holy Spirit to dedicate their life to serving others in a way that reflects Christ under the direction of the church (Paragraph 1913. 2, United Methodist Church Book of Discipline). Future deaconesses and home missionaries are ...

In this Life, Friendship Matters

Proverbs 18:24 NIV "One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother"      Trust is one of the things we give to our friends. In fact, it is the foundation of every relationship. Our trusted friend/s is/are always there for us. They always listen, always understand, always encourage, always care, and always love. "Mere presence is a support". In friendship, you always have each other's back. It is a mutual relationship. The experiences you had with your friends, good or bad, made your bond/s stronger. Whenever and wherever I have faith that friendship grounded in trust is a rock-solid friendship.

Christmas Sermon

    Luke 2:8-20 The Shepherds and the Angels             “Joy to the world, the Lord is come!   Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing”. This song was written in 1719 by Isaac Watts, but the message of the song happened more than 2000 years ago. The Christmas season comes every year. But, due to its annual celebration, can you still sing Joy to the World like you never sung it before or can you still continue to prepare your heart and keep singing this joyful song of praise? Luke 2:8-20 made us see how good news was revealed to the Shepherds by the Angel and how the Angels and the Shepherds received this news. Joy to the World ,  the Lord is Come.   The shepherds received a message from an angel. At first, the shepherds were terrified because the glory of the Lord shone around them...
