In this Life, We've been blessed to be a blessing.

 Joy and overflowing grace are what I'm feeling right now.  I want to testify how generous and caring God is. It all began when I ask God to help me with everything I need. In particular, I ask God to help me in my studies. With Faith, I have received what I ask for in prayer. In my past experiences, I had applied for a scholarship many times and I did not get anything. At present, opportunities are gradually opening to me now. I have received educational assistance that is more than enough to support my study- God provides. 

Today, our deaconess' song choice for Sunday Service is '' Blessed to be a blessing". Truthfully, we've been blessed to be a blessing. Everything that we have comes from above. All are from God. As we receive something, let thanksgiving be our first thing to do. The moment that I acknowledge God for what I have received, I have learned about giving back and sharing. As I said, God gives more than enough; it's overflowing. The joy that I am feeling right now comes from sharing God's blessing with others. I believe that what I am receiving is from God, and knowing that, I cannot see myself as the giver of what I had shared with others. Only I see myself as a channel of God's blessings to others. And I give all the honor, praise, and glory to God.
Hallelujah. Amen.

  Hindi Para Kalugdan “4 Sa halip, nangangaral kami bilang mga karapat-dapat na katiwala ng Dios ng kanyang Magandang balita.Ginagawa naming ito hindi para kalugdan kami ng mga tao kundi ng Dios na siyang sumisiyasat sa mga puso naming. 5 Alam niyo rin na hindi naming kayo dinaan sa matatamis na pananalita sa pangangaral namin at hindi rin kami nangaral para samantalahin kayo. Ang Dios mismo ang saksi naming.6 Hindi namin hinangad ang papuri ninyo o sinuman.” -1 Tesalonica 2:4-6-     Noong labing anim (16) na gulang ako habang nasa araw ng pananambahan, naitanong ko sa aking sarili, “bakit kaya kaunti ang pumipili na maging church worker?” Ako ay nagtataka dahil isang mabuting gawain naman ang maglingkod sa Diyos. Nasa panahon ako noon ng pag de-desisyon kung ano ang kukunin kong programa sa kolehiyo. Maging isang Doctor, maging isang Pharmacist, o maging isang Nurse o alinmang propesyon sa larangan ng medisina ang noon ay nais kung maging pag laki ko. Ngunit b...

BE AUTHENTIC

Whenever I write, I always consider the language I should use. Growing up in a colonized nation (the Philippines), it is kind of hard to have the so-called “originality”. From language, culture, songs, and clothing, just to name a few, almost all of it is influenced by nations that colonized us in the past. It is confusing to know who we really are as Filipinos. But what I realized now is that I should embrace the present and always be true to what I do and speak. As long as I do not forget to speak our native language (Filipino) and keep trying to use the dialects (Ilocano and Bolinao) I grew up with, even though I am not fluent and trying hard, I believe this will smooth out in its proper time. Maybe in the long run, you will notice that my output will be written in mixed language. Speaking out on this matter helps me to be more authentic. Based on my experience, there were times when I could easily express myself in English and sometimes in Filipino. The most important thing here is...
