First Sunday of the Month

is Communion Sunday in our church. Today our speaker talked about Last Supper and I am reminded of how great is the love of the Lord for us.

Happy communion Sunday everyone!!

May you also feel God's love for you. Blessings!!

Family.Music

If only I could, I would buy each of my nephews and nieces a musical instrument and make them fall in love with music :)

My two eldest nephews are into guitar and doing well with the music ministry in their church too..

The eldest niece wants also a guitar maybe because she's been exposed to it -with my husband and her two cousins.

The other nephew wants also an organ (like me!)

The younger ones, I wish I could give them recorders at WWBW. I heard it is a nice way to introduce children to musicality.

How nice it would be if we all get to play together no? That would be lovely and for sure their Lolo will be proud.

Matthew 6:33

This verse says it all, if you need anything..seek the LORD first. I know sometimes we tend to go somewhere else hoping to find solution to our problem, go to employer for financial needs, go to lending companies, go to a friend for comfort, etc...

But it is very clear that if we SEEK GOD FIRST, He will supply all our needs.
I hope we all learn to do just that no?

I for myself sometime worry first before going to the Lord..sigh.

Mouth organ

Did you know that harmonica is also called as mouth organ? Oh well, I didn't know that.Shows how I am so not really into music no? so opposite of  my husband.

And yes, my husband who loves music that much has one harmonica too. It was given to him by my niece whom I think got it from great harmonica store at musician's friend.

Although he admits he is still learning but when I hear him play I am just amazed how he can make such beautiful melodies from that one small instrument.

But I promised my self, this year I will learn how to play the organ or keyboard. I'm determined and hopefully next year I'll be playing along with my husband na. Who knows?

Top 10 - Expecting Divine Connections

Written by Harold Herring 

 

10.  Decisions you make today will determine your wealth tomorrow.  Make right choices…if you don’t know what they are…ask Him.

 

  9.  A dangerous person is anyone close to you who doesn’t have a dream…care that you have one or is unwilling to help you achieve yours.

 

  8.  Expect a divine connection today with someone whom God will use to propel you toward your assignment.

 

  7.  Your future is in front of you…unless you decide to live in the past.

 

  6.  Some people say: “I’ll believe it when I see it.”  God says:  “When you believe it, you will see it.”

 

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  Never allow circumstances to cloud your thinking; destroy your dreams or make you settle for less than His best for your life.

 

  4.  Confidence will take you places doubt never will  Confidence in Him makes you a winner in life…no matter…what you’re facing.

 

  3.  You can’t control what other people say, think or do…but you are in complete control of your own mind, mouth and destiny.

 

  2.  You are one decision away from your next miracle, assignment, breakthrough, victory and/or praise report.

 

  1.  Never hang around with people who criticize and complain because they will adversely affect your outlook, conversation and future.

Music Heals

This was a benefit concert for the victims of typhoon maring and it happened yesterday. I told my husband about it, had I not been sick, we could have come and watched.

Great news though that inspite of the not so good weather, the benefit concert went well and that they were able to gather huge amount of donations. Praise God.

I love the title of that benefit concert. Indeed music heals. It's always been my prayer since my husband's ministry is music, that healing flows through worship and that music will help people draw near and be closer to the Lord.

That is why I support my husband with this ministry. Sometimes I feel bored specially when he spend so much time looking at different music apps and gadgets or instruments, sometimes he tries to explain what the best trophy bodhran at guitar center is but I do support him fully. Because I know in my heart.. music heals.

You are more than enough for me Lord :)

You are more than enough for me Lord :)

"Hold things lightly because those are not important. In life, it is not what you have or what you've accumulated in life that is valuable, but it's WHO you have in life. And by God's grace it is JESUS CHRIST that we have that make life valuable." - Deonna Tanchi

 

Pray for the Philippines

Please pray for those who are greatly affected by the recent flooding. Pray that they will get to recover soon and that they may have hope and faith in the Almighty. 

Pray for our leaders, from the President down to Barangay Captains. Pray that there will be no more corruption in the government. That the taxes will go to where it is badly needed.

Pray for great conviction through out the land, pray for us Filipinos to humble ourselves seek the face of the Lord and turned from our wickedness. Pray for righteousness.

There is HOPE for the Philippines.

Birthday gift for a musician

One month from now, my husband will be celebrating his birthday and I've already started searching for a nice gift for him. Something nice but useful is what I want for him. I have browse some guitar stands at Musicians friend and also gig bags but I have not decided yet what to give him. If only I can give him all the gadgets he need for their recording It will be my pleasure to do it but...not yet for now

I'm sure though that with or without the gift, it won't matter that much to him. I know that he'll be more than happy to know that I will always be here for him. But of course a gift is a plus :)

Top 10 - Send Fear Packing

 

Written by Harold Herring 

 

10.  God is not trying to get into your business…instead He wants you to get into His way of doing business.

 

  9.  God’s desire is to expand your territory…enlarge your borders…move you from where you are to a new level of success in Him.

 

  8.  Purpose in your heart to think beyond your imagination so you don’t limit God…in what He really wants you to do in your life.

 

  7.  Fear flees when confidence in God’s Word shows up.

 

  6.  You may be traveling through enemy territory but God is bringing you into a fresh place where you will LACK FOR NOTHING.

 

 

  5.  A married couple will never be one flesh…as long as they lie to each other about money.  If you’re doing it…stop it…NOW!

 

  4.  View every person you meet today as a divine connection or someone to pray for…either way…you win.

 

  3.  Obedience to God’s word isn’t conditional or situational…you either obey it or you don’t.

 

  2.  God will never allow you to see something without giving you the ability to accomplish it.

 

  1.  When you praise God…you change the spiritual atmosphere wherever you are and whatever you’re going through.

Grateful

That's written in 1 Thessalonians 5:18. "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus". It's pretty clear that we should not only be grateful when we are in bliss but also during rough times. Why? because that's God's will. I am still learning though because admittedly when you are hurting the least you think of is to give thanks di ba? but if we give thanks even in not so good situation somehow it makes the burden lighter.

So today, I am grateful for all that is happening in our life (yes even with the bumps in the road-that are sometimes painful. For sure it will make me stronger. And of course, I am even more grateful for all the blessings the Lord is showering us everyday.

-food in the table
-electricity
-protection
-our job
-friends

and for that hope that someday soon we will be having our own house, we are grateful that we can dream of the house we like, the furniture, even the comfortable cushion for chair, the kitchen, lanai and all.

Thank you for being able to dream and hope.

Indeed. I am grateful to you Lord.

God is never late

Used keyboards

We are looking for used keyboards, one that is not expensive though. And yes it's for me :)  because I wanted so much to learn to play the keyboard. It's actually one of my wishlist for this year. "Learn something new" and it's either driving or playing the keyboard.

But since my husband is a musician, I am opting for the keyboard because he can use it too.  He's been composing new songs again and I wanted to be part of it...and maybe play keyboard with the band someday. I know it is not too late to learn something new.

Hopefully before the year ends, I will be able to buy one for myself. 

Praying :)

I am strong

~*~ *~*~

No matter what weakness you think you may have, no matter what inadequacies or setbacks you’ve encountered, God wants to give you His divine strength. He wants to make up the difference and put you further ahead than you ever thought possible. 

One time in the Old Testament, God simply multiplied the sound of four men’s footsteps and caused them to sound like a mighty army. When their enemies heard them, they took off running. There were thousands of enemy troops running for their lives, scared to death, thinking they were being attacked by a massive army when in fact, it was just four people! What happened? God made up the difference. 

 Friend, God can make you seem bigger than you really are. He can make you look more powerful. He knows how to multiply your influence, your strength, your talent and your income. You don’t have to figure it all out; all you have to do is put your trust in Him. If you will trust Him and wake up every day expecting His far and beyond favor, then you’re going to see Him make up the difference in every area of your life! 

"...for when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength).” (2 Corinthians 12:10, AMP)

~*~*~*~*~

Read that twice today, from my email  (by Joel Osteen) and then from another blog. God knows my heart and He is so loving and gracious. He wants me to know and be assured that in my weakness, He is my strength.

Thank you Lord.
