hold-up experienced....
By Jovylyn DignoButi na lang that time hindi ko dala ang wallet at mga IDs ko.. Kaya thankful pa rin talaga ako kay Lord. Imagine kakagaling ko lang nun sa prayer meeting diba?.. Sabi ko nga ganun talaga si Satan, ayaw nya na napapalapit tayo kay God.. Pero sorry sya kase kahit anong gawin nya I will still hold on to the promises of our Almighty God.
Alam ko na kayang kaya ni Lord palitan ang lahat ng nawala saken... Thanks sa prayers ng mga ka-SFC, housemates, friends and relatives ko.. ok na ako ngayon.. Medyo takot pa rin.. kase naman that was my first time, (at hopefully first and last na) but as long as I believe that God is always there to guide and protect His children, hindi na ako mapapahamak. Ang mahalaga hindi kame sinaktan.. I do believe na lahat ng mga nawala saken ay ibabalik ni Lord siksik, liglig at umaapaw..
May God be praised.. :)
GOD LOOKS FOR CLAY
By erika alfonCLAY does'nt mold or shape itself, instead it is molded according to its master's will.
Be a CLAY, and let God shape you as what he plans for you to be.

My Gratitude List for today
By Kristina GodinezToday is extra special coz it's Easter Sunday so I need to give an extra shout out!
Thank you Heavenly Father for sending our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to save us! Thank you Lord Jesus for coming here on earth and making the ultimate sacrifice -- dying on the Cross to save sinners like me! Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to strengthen and cleanse us on a daily basis! Thank you Lord Jesus for being our constant pillar, our inspiration, especially when our crosses get heavy! Thank you for being the best role model, for setting the best example, for lifting up our weary hearts and spirits, for never letting go, no matter how far away we run from you, for being our Good Shepherd! I love you Lord Jesus and I always will! Please forgive my sins and iniquities! Blessed be your name now and forever! Amen.
Thank you God for the gifts of life and love, the gift of salvation, which we celebrate today. Thank you for the gifts of loving family and friends who not only understand but bear our crosses with us. Thank you God for being our center. May your love reign in our hearts always and forever.
Thank you God for inspiring us to move mountains. Thank you for sending your instruments to guide us. Please use me Lord Jesus to build God's kingdom here on earth. Thank you for erasing the confusion and the doubt and for standing by me while I was struggling with those doubts. Thank you Jesus for never giving up on me no matter how bad things got, no matter how much I rebelled, no matter how much I fought, You prevailed Lord Jesus. And now, I'm sure that you always will. Thank you Jesus, Amen.
As I start this new week, may you remain as my center, may you continue to light my path, may you continue to guide my steps and lead me closer to you, our source, guide and goal. Please cleanse me Lord Jesus, through the power of your Holy Spirit, and help me renounce the things that are blocking your grace from enveloping my heart, my mind and my soul. Teach me to serve you in every way I can and please give me the wisdom, enlightenment and discernment so that every opportunity will be used for the benefit of our Holy Church, and even stumbling blocks will become opportunities for me to put you first Lord Jesus. Once again, Lord Jesus, I surrender to your Holy will, I deny myself, I will carry my cross and follow you Lord Jesus. Please walk with me always, this I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thank You Lord Jesus!
By Kristina GodinezI have a whole lot to be grateful for today but I'll try to squeeze it into a few paragraphs coz I still need to rest. I need to take some time out to thank Jesus for guiding me today.
First, I am grateful for the gifts of life and love, family and friends, most of all for God's immeasurable love for all of us. Life's a rollercoaster and sometimes the lows can get me down but I'm not giving up! The highs are worth it so it's only right to give thanks and praise where they are due. Thank you Jesus! Praise you Jesus!
Second, I thank God for curing some of my ailments. It's not easy working while you're under the weather but I'm grateful cuz at least my runny nose is dry now and even though the cough and headache are still there, praise Jesus for giving me kind mentors and co-workers. So this is a double thank you -- for the healing and for the nice people who I've been working with all day. Thank you God for the early break too! :)
Third, I am thankful for the messages from friends and for the daily Gospel which brightens my day. I read it a bit too late but still applicable. I am also grateful for the chance to relax after work and have a snack that's filling and tasty. And I am grateful for everything else in between.
Yes, the confusion remains (along with the cough and headache) but I'm sure that tomorrow will dawn bright and beautiful. Way sapot ron so yehey! Hihihi. Thank You Jesus! Praise You Jesus! Amen.
Thank You Lord Jesus!
By Kristina GodinezOh well, now that I'm done complaining, I'm determined to jot down the heaven-sent gifts for which I am truly grateful.
First, just reading my blog post from yesterday, I am reminded of God's indescribable love! No matter how down and out or out of sorts I feel today, I know that God is still there all around me. That alone is worthy of a whole page but since I'm sick and all, please pardon me if I stick to just a few sentences.
Second, I am grateful for yet another day added to my life and my loved ones' life as well. I'd like to insert a small prayer too. Lord Jesus, please guide my Uncle's journey. May he travel in still waters and come home happy and may his trip be safe all the way.
Third, I am grateful for new opportunities and yet another chance to challenge myself and the gifts God has given me. Honestly, I am quite aware that this was not his plan for me originally and I know that my disobedience has a price that's why I'm going to stop complaining about my ailments. God will heal me, and that is enough for me.
Fourth, I am thankful for all the gifts God has showered me. I know I am blessed and this sadness is passing. I believe that God has a great plan for me so no matter what happens, I am secure in the knowledge that I have already surrendered to Jesus and will do so every single day of my life. Yet another prayer... Lord Jesus, I am ready to deny myself and take up my cross. I will follow you Lord Jesus, my God, my Savior, and nothing will ever change that. Thank you Lord Jesus for your love and your guidance. I know you are with me every single day and I will worship you every single day of my life. I love you Lord Jesus. Thank you Jesus! Amen.
Fifth, thank you
Lord Jesus for surrounding me with loving family and loyal
friends who have stood by me in spite of everything that has
happened. I am forever grateful. Praise you Jesus! Thank you
Jesus! Amen.
What if God does not provide?
By Allen EspejoHave you ever been in a situation where you keep on praying for something but God never seem to listen to your prayer?
- Will this glorify God or will this glorify you?
- Will this give more praises to God or you just want people to praise you?
- Will this give me more time to serve God or will this give you more time to serve you? (By the way, serving God is not limited to serving your church alone. Don't limit yourself in serving God in a single place or a single area in your life. A good place to start is within your family.)
Amen!
