BREAKING THE OLD HABITS 2008-04-03 08:00:00 They say breaking the old habits is laborious task to do. When you are accustomed to doing the things you love to do, it will never occur to your mind of stopping them, unless you find them not serving your purpose anymore. But then, it will not be that easy to switch nor to welcome change, for the long years those habits have maneuvered your daily functions and they almost have sprang into a vice. My friend has finally come to her senses and stopped her habit of borrowing things from neighbor. She said that she has started hearing nasty remarks and felt being shunned by people whom she regarded as friendly neighbors. The good thing is, she had realized that her negative habit is ruining her reputation as a friendly neighbor indeed. Men suffered the hardest degree of altering t
CAN YOU IMITATE CHRIST CRUCIFIXION? 2008-03-21 22:11:00 Every year we commemorate the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. And while Christians around the world remembers Christ death, there are still few who insistently exhume the already buried tradition of nailing themselves on the cross duplicating what Lord Jesus Christ did. I like to point out here some of the reasons for following the tradition:they deny Christ gift of salvation,they are convinced that they can repay their sinsthey are totally ignorant of God’s lawWe can’t duplicate what Christ did on the cross. What can be considered as a valid purpose of their seriously following the tradition is merely for a show as a tourist attraction. For me that sounds better.The Bible says, (Hebrew 10:14) “Because for one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
How Should We Pray? 2008-03-01 11:28:00 How many times you commune with God? A religious person says, she always recites the rosary almost everyday. Is this your way of talking to God? To commune with God is to communicate intimately. One does it thru prayer, but prayer should be direct, brief and precise. Christ teaches man how prayer should be:(Matthew 6:5-9) “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogue and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen, then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans for they think they will be heard because of this m
OUR GREATEST HOPE IN THIS WORLD 2008-02-06 00:46:00 Something I observed from interacting with people, they have common woes; being in a situation of economic instability everyone seems to complain about the hardship of earning a living and worst, they always have somebody to blame. I do admit I am not a good counselor, or a keen problem solver. The least I can do is to empathize with them, and being a weakling myself I sometimes been carried away by their gripes and distress, I used to play a heroine in my eagerness to help, having to sacrifice my own financial needs, and so I ended up penniless with bigger problems to deal with. One thing I learned from this, that before anything else, God should be the first resort to ask for help. I realized then, that helping others and showing generosity without pointing to them the real answer to the
DEALING WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE PEOPLE 2008-01-19 05:31:00 There are times that our patience are being pushed to the limit with people who are seemingly impossible to deal with. We spent most of our time interacting with people by just being in a job for eight to ten hours or even longer and stayed with bunch of divers’ individual. How can one get along with somebody who is; insatiable, impatient, and wrathful.. I had the chance to work in a research and survey company and was assigned in the field to gather data from interviews with random sample group. After my training I was let loose in the field together with the supervisor. Upon looking at the indignant face of my supervisor I can already infer the kind personality she has and I was right then, she always repealed what I earlier discussed with the interviewee or chided me right in ther
Looking Back To My First Internet Experience, E-Mailing and Blogging 2008-01-15 08:05:00 How I am amaze by these new tech coming up in the market today. First
, we have a computer at home which was requested by my children to aid with their homework. I was also the busy user of computer and because of my typing skill I easily adapted myself into it, then after a few years my eldest daughter signed up for internet connection following her going abroad. My curiosity to try everything new has paved my way through the intricacies of internet, surfing opportunities and e-mailing were for my self-exploration then soon I was into blogging. My blogging experience for the past five months was really a go-go not bad after all, considering my newbie in everything. I’m just happy to see my blog taking off , steadily gaining knowledge from other experienced bloggers and inter Read more:Blogging

HONESTY IN THE WORKPLACE 2008-01-12 23:10:00 One could cook up some draft of dishonesty and casually charge it to just one gaga experience. I chuckle at the story of my niece’ friend who works in a packaging section of food processing company; she was able to sneak out those half-cooked prawns which she supposed to assort them for packaging but instead it went straight to her mouth. After her working hours, she ended up in a toilet bowl for sudden diarrheic attack. I’ve known a girl whose favorite excuses for her absences in the office are the stomach ache and headache alternately. The following day after submitting her excuse letter she was interrogated by her superior and was asked about her condition, she overreacted by cringing her head intending to support her excuses, but she got a sarcastic retort instead. Her
What Does Christmas Mean To You? 2007-12-13 01:24:00 As Christmas
approaches, the shopping malls start to flood with colorful Christmas decors, toys, apparel and furniture. Sales and gift-giving are typical events during this season. In some Christian countries the countdown for Christmas starts at the onset of ber months starting with September,. This means Christmas carols would be audible during this month: similarly, preparations could be underway, shops and bazaar are taking its cue to plan for the season’s extravaganza, employees are looking forward to salary bonuses, children are awaiting for new dresses, shoes and toys. Schools are concocting for stage shows and parties. With lots of hoorays and jubilees expecting to come, this should be the much awaited season for all Christians around the world.I was a kid, Christmas used to brin
BEWARE OF NEGATIVISM 2007-11-28 10:41:00 When I got married and had my first baby, I was constrained to resign from my job and put up a small novelty shop right in front of our rented home so I could better look after the needs of my family. Every morning before I open my store I would pray for God’s blessing that I could have plenty of sales during the day. I employed one sales lady to assist me. She was my friend’s niece. I have no complain about her service, she was hardworking, honest and had a good customer rapport. We had a good deal about her workload and assignment. I took every chance also to share with her the gospel. I didn’t find it hard for her to accept the Word of God and she was baptized in a Christian church later on. From then on we had a good fellowship together. But sooner she started complaining about h
The Essence of Woman 2007-11-16 03:03:00 What is the essence of woman? This is a frequently-asked question whenever I watch a beauty pageant. The word essence refers to the ultimate nature of an individual and its importance. I was prompted to review the story about creation of man from the Holy Book. Adam was the first human nature created by God after God’s image. He was placed in a garden called Eden which is splendidly arrayed with nature of water, air, sunlight and plants. With all those creation Adam maintains his loneliness so God formed all birds of the air and beasts out of the ground and brought them to Adam so he may give them names. But none of those companions has appeased Adam’s loneliness. And so when Adam was asleep God made a woman from his rib and when he awoke he saw the woman and said: (Genesis 2:23)“ Th Read more:Essence
My First Love 2007-11-02 06:15:00 What a wonderful feeling being immensely in love for the first time. It was cool, it was fun and this indescribable feeling was taking me to the 7th heaven.The wish of every woman is to feel the excitement of being pursued by her dream guy, taking her by the hand offering roses and chocolates and dating her to the fine, cozy and expensive places which she never experienced before and giving her all the best that suits her. Nonetheless all the fancy things will soon fade and fleet away. The real thing would be unfolded, the differences of both will resurface and what matters is each own self, the focus of love is each own ego after all, it was only the emotions that engulf both of them.. . This love experience was driving me crazy. And as we part ways, I suddenly felt that the love of my yo Read more:First

Knowing Jesus Christ Personally 2007-10-25 05:07:00 Most people I’ve met admitted that seldom they had a serious talk with God or maybe in some instances when they are in grave trouble or been immersed in insurmountable problems that the way out seems almost impossible. Yes, they consider God as their last resort. My friend, Regina once asked me. “ Please guide me in prayer for ‘am really helpless I don’t know what to do.”She was my classmate in high school and also my best friend. We were in sophomore year when she eloped with the man who is now her husband. She used to visit me in the office, I was 24 years old then and still single, had a good job and some petty networking on the side. I knew they were financially hard up and I used to extend help to her in whatever way I can afford. Once in a while I share abou Read more:Christ

Money Is The Root of All Evil? 2007-10-11 00:56:00 Before I expound the headline let me tell you a story. There was this little girl who was with her playmates; she was sitting on the gutter of the sidewalk when she spotted a white envelope on the street after a man on a motorbike passed by. The girl concluded that it was accidentally dropped by the man on the speeding motorbike and so she hurried to the envelope and picked it. When she opened the unsealed envelope it was full of bills and checks, she blurted in surprise that which called the attention of her playmates and the rest of the folks nearby. And they started huddling her and each guy coaxing her to keep the money and some suggested that they divide the money among themselves. But the girl insisted that she would return the money and she went home to tell about it to her mother. Read more:Money
What Has Got To Be A Mother? 2007-10-08 13:05:00 There was this one occasion when I bumped with middle aged woman accompanied by her young adult daughter, they were a picture of a jovially- knit friendship. I dared asked the mother, what made their friendship shone The mother then replied; I took off my authority over my children and befriended them. Playing with kids is a fun activity. When my kids were young we used to have a tutorial session I spent an hour tutoring them on reading alphabets- that was my intense attempt to upstart their early learning prior to their admittance to grade school. And when their formal schooling came forth I was on the round the clock guiding them on their lessons. I refused to take the guilt of coercing them, as much as I want them to learn I also want them to enjoy their childhood, so le
Entrusting Your Children To God 2007-09-26 19:35:00 As my children were growing up fast, my fear of shielding them from the wiles of environmental influence grew doubly faster. I knew I couldn’t keep them intact within my watch. My only confidence was the core value which I strictly imposed them to adhere to, but the same could grow thinner with the time. I expectedly knew they would start mingling with their peers and find their post in the circle. And what value they would be forming - the least I know. Probably it’s the same fear which might have lingered into my mother’s mind disturbing her peace every time all of us nine children have not reached home yet at the wee hour. She would fall on her knees and intercede for us in prayer. She never missed any single day in prayer for our safety and good health. I knew very wel Read more:Children
The 666 Mark of the Beast 2007-09-24 11:51:00 Many prognostics on antichrist have taken toll on some history speculators and caused them to be frantic wanting to know who exactly owns the 666 mark of the beast. Subject of their speculations are some celebrated heroes in history such as Hitler, Pope, Kissinger and today computer tycoon Bill Gates. Whether it’s true or not let alone the Bible tells so. II Thessalonians 2:3,4 Let no man deceive you by any means, for the day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who oppose and exalted himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitted in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. It is just right to think that we are running closer to end times because many prophecie Read more:Beast
Blogging for a Purpose 2007-09-12 10:56:00 Blog, blog, blog for a purpose. I blog what my heart intent to say and when I do, I felt relieved that finally I was able to empty-out my heart’s content. Sound poetic, but I found blogging as the best avenue to express myself. I’m a typical silent woman, I’m not good in conversation nor in group discussion the reason why I prefer scribbling words on paper. I usually jot down what I feel and I’m in my best skill during my emotional struggle and heart breaks. My words from my mouth comes from my mind and it may not always convey what really my true desires but the words I wrote down comes from my heart and it can’t falsify its true intention. When we had an internet connection thru the courtesy of my eldest daughter, I readily learned the intricacies of it all. Blogging

Take Time Out With God 2007-09-11 23:27:00 Nowadays everything we do seem to be in a fast paced, we tend to move in a speed as if trying to beat the remaining time we have on our hand. We buy food in a drive thru and eat it on the way to the next destination. We skim thru magazine and books, surf channel of television programs, watch news only getting a glimpse of it while doing something else, get opinions and advices of others, collect data, ideas, things, people, rich experiences but these things never really get into our sub consciousness. We disperse action quickly from one base to another with frenzy that burns us out afterwards. But beyond these things there are times when we stop, sit still, hold our silent for a moment and take time out to feel the breeze, listen to the whisper of one voice in your heart.
Learn To Laugh 2007-09-08 10:46:00 “Laughter is a good medicine.” I have heard this adage several times and true enough it has proven what it wants to convey. Definitely when we laugh we release our tension, stress and probably our pent-up emotional heartaches. It increase our level of happiness and able to get away from fear and some negative thoughts that have nestled in our minds. But mind you not all sicknesses are healed by laughter, usually those stress borne sicknesses and related to normal heart functioning are the main recipient of this laughter medicine. When we are so engrossed with our work and make a habit of cramming all the time, our stress level increases, people who have a weak heart have the possibility to break down. I learned that in less industrialized countries, their people are happier and
Before You Freak Out, Take a Break 2007-09-06 23:45:00 You are swamped with heap of workload, you have deadline to beat and worst your communication line is disrupted. But before you freak out make all efforts to clear you mind. Though it might be difficult for you to do it yet it is the best way to ease your tension. Take a walk, read the paper for a minute , do anything that will help you relax..Then review your work, prioritize the most important thing that needs your immediate attention and set aside for a while those work that you can deal with later on. If you need somebody’s help then delegate a portion of your work that calls for less mental scrutiny. Then focus on what you are doing. Don’t be sidetracked. Tell your household member not to distract you or can’t entertain visitors. You can also let your calls go into voice ma Read more:Break

Start Your Day Right 2007-09-05 21:30:00 How would you like to start the day with full of joy and enthusiasm? As you awaken to a new morning, consider it as an added day to your life. Let me ask you, if this would be your last day on earth how would you welcome your morning rise? There goes the lyric of the song. "this is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it" Yes, God created the day and night. So I sugest that you offer this day to Him. Feel His presence and as soon as you get up say a brief prayer of thanks for surviving the day and ask His continued guidance and presence in your life. I'm going to share with you the prayer I've read in a book, you could make this prayer as yours too: "Rule over me this day, Oh God, lead me on the path of righteousness.

On God's Purpose 2008-05-05 23:33:00 I’d like to give my apology to those people following my blog for the delay in my postingThere are things that need to be fixed; financial, family and all that. Every weekend I give my personal caring for my mother-in-law who already needs care at the age of 80. She was detected of stage two cancer, though the tumor found on her intestine was already removed, another tumor near the anus is found. Chemotherapy is not an advisable cure at her age and only the herbal and food supplement are the hopeful alternative medicine to give her and these are to be given in larger dosage. Needless to say, these could amount to a little lesser cost of chemotherapy.A poor woman fighting for her life-I admire her for being a strong-willed woman. I couldn’t forget the words she whispered to her son as s Read more:Purpose
