Dream vacation

I want, I dream, I long, I like, I wish to at least one day have a vacation in Mexico and checked in at one of the isla mujeres hotels. Imagine waking up with this buffet breakfast


and then spending the day leisurely here
and then cuddling with dear hubby during evenings here


That would be awesome! wonderful! great experience. But I guess I am dreaming too big, bu then again there is nothing too big and impossible with our God. So I'll just keep on dreaming and while I am dreaming big I'll get back to reality and work.

God will heal our land

Thankful Thursday

Lynn is hosting the Thankful Thursday for this month. Head on to her site if you want to share or read more TT entries.

Maybe you have heard of the recent flooding due to storm here in Manila,Phil. We were devastated, the whole Philippines is grieving, a lot lost their homes, some are even worst because they lost their loved ones.

Our house was not spared, inside our house the water was above knee level, outside it's higher than the waist level. But you know what, I still am thankful for a lot of things, I still feel blessed and I am grateful.

Here's why..

1. I am thankful it happened on midday -we are about to have lunch. Had it happen on evening where everybody is sleeping it could have been worst.

2. Grateful that it happeed on weekend. Saturday. I have no office and we are at home. I was thinking if it happened on weekdays and nobody is at home then we could have not saved any single stuff.

3. Our motorbike which was our very means of transportation was submerged. Hubby said we should bring it to repair center and I know it means money, but then when he cleaned it and tried to start it. It is still working!! Thankful for God's protection even to our motorbike.

I am also thankful that in tough times like this, filipinos are united, joining hands in helping the victims. People all over the world especially Filipinos scattered all over the world are helping.

We will move on, we will rise up after this tragedy and we will praise the Lord for He is Good!!

Here are some of the pictures I took during the flood;

Please keep on praying for the Philippines and for the flood victims.

Praising Kids town year 2

Fishnets ministry has an upcoming event this October 31. It’s “Praising kid’s town” again and we are all doing our best to make this even successful. We are expecting to serve at least 150 kids from the urban poor areas. We are raising funds for this event and as of now we still need a lot so I encourage you my dear readers to please pray with me for this event.

Our prayer items are the following;

1. Committed volunteers
2. Funds /Materials
3. Transportation means for the kids
4. For a nice weather on that day

Praising kid’s town is a mini-carnival for the kids, we aim to give smile and leisure for these kids that cannot afford to go carnival to enjoy, we also aim thru this activity to veer them away from addiction, gambling, vices like cigars and solvent. We hope these kids will grow as responsible citizens of this world.

And of course, along with this please also pray for the flood victims. We are also collecting blankets and towels and clothes for the victims. I have already a handful and we will give this to relief center maybe tomorrow.

God is still Good!!

We maybe in the state of calamity right now, but we will rise! God is still in control and though my heart aches for those who lost their homes and some their loved ones. I will still praise the Lord and say that HE is GOOD! and that he will be able to provide/replace whatever was lost. Homes,business,furniture,cars, annuities and everything.

He did it with in the old testament with JOB, there's no reason He can't do it with us.

Our home was not spared. Here's pictures from our very house during the flood. But then that will not stop us from praising HIM. And that can not stop us also from doing what is supposed to do at this time of need.

In times like this, it is very comforting to know that our life is insured in God's mighty hands. Trust that He will provide for our every need.

Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for the following;

1. Internet at home
2. Landline phone
3. Magic Jack ( for international calls)
4. The new bedframe with 2 side table (from my boss)
5. healing from ear infection (my ear is still aching and swollen at the moment but I am claiming healing would come soon)
6. Knowledge and abilities to do what I am asked to do by my boss (sometimes I feel like "I can't do it" but thank God I am still able to deliver)
7. Winning 2 concert tickets and enjoying the show with a friend.

In this trying times, there are still lots of reason to thank God for. What are you thankful for? Please visit Laurie's site and share it with us.

paradox of our time

Got this again in my email and I can't help but agree and say that this is so sad and yet so true.

*********************************************************************************
A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Cybber Monday

It is for me tomorrow, because as the rest of the working guys are resting due to a holiday I on the other hand will be at the office. So it's a working Cyber Monday for me.

How I wish I could just stay home and browse the Internet from here but I can't. Hubby will also be having a working Monday because they will have a band rehearsal for the coming band competition on the first week of October. Hubby will become more busy than me this coming days, he has so many band commitments. I just pray he would be able to cope up. In the other hand, he is loving it, beside it his passion and calling so he's so much into it.

well just wish him and the rest of the band all the best!!

Sunday Worship Service

My facebook status says : feels bad for not attending the worship service this morning

yes, I do feel bad about it, I wish I hadn't stayed up so late for the past few nights..
and in times like this I hope we have an evening service so I can still attend even I wake up late.

How late did I wake up? well, it's already 2 in the afternoon when I gaze at the wall clock.

Although hubby said he will accompany me to other church who has evening services if I want to. Maybe I would after doing mu usual rounds in the internet world. I still have to finish this diet pills review just in case I needed to answer some questions about it.

How about you all? I hope you were able to attend worship service this Sunday and not be like me feeling bad about it.

Love Books

Yes I do love books, I just mentioned in one of my recent posts that I am currently enjoying “god’s Smuggler” by Brother Andrew. This cost at least $10.07 when you buy it in Amazon books online shop. I want another one that was also recommended by a good frien. “Safely Home” is also about a persecuted church and I am sure that would be nice too.

If I have lots of extra money I’ll be spending lot for books. I hope I can pass on this love for reading to my kids (if ever we will have one) someday.

I remember I am still also reading a novel of Nicholas Sparks and yes I finally will have time to finish it this weekend.
