Please pray with us for a ministry vehicle, probably an AUV type van. I see the need of this for our children’s ministry. Like this Saturday, we will be transporting the kids from their community to the center for the Hygiene Day and we do not have a van, good thing God led us to a neighbor who is willing to lend his van this Saturday.
I will ask for quotation next week so we would know how much funds we would need and how much amount we should be praying for. I am definitely not looking at rv for sale but will go into second hand van for sale if possible. Estimated amount needed for the vehicle is more or less US$13,000 for brand new.
Please..please pray for us. This would really help us in doing the ministry.
Thanks and Blessings to you all!!

Thankful Thursday - REST
I like what she wrote on her post, it's a reminder to everyone of us to use our time wisely.
This week I am thankful the Lord has given me time to REST. I was sick yesterday and I wasn't able to come to office, and though I feel a lot better today I still opted to stay home and rest. In this chaotic and busy world, we all need to rest at some point and if you are not resting the Lord will force you to rest. I guess that's what He did to me which I am thankful.
What are you thankful for this week?

Heat and Finances
How’s your Sunday everyone? Mine was not good, I woke up with a terrible headache this morning probably due to heat and to lack of sleep for the past week. I was not able to attend church which makes it all the more worst. As they say, “seven days without church makes one weak”.
Anyways, it is still intolerably hot in my part of the globe. And a lot are getting sick. In this times that I really really wish we had an air conditioner but these are also financially tough time plus another addition to our already high electricity bill will also be awfully sad. That is why I have to work doubly hard, online and offline. It is even harder when you have no savings at all, it’s like you seems lost when you found your self suddenly in need of fast cash and you have no where to go to. Good thing to those employers are understanding and can afford Payday Loans but what about those who can’t? Like in our company, I don’t think they do offer that. My co-employees resort to loaning from personal friends rather than in the company which is better because friends do understand.
And because I am still in this humid, hot, warm country, let me share with you some tips how to cool your self if you don’t have an air conditioned room.
1. Drink lots of water (cold water if possible) –I’ve probably been consuming more than 8 glasses a day.
2. Ice is my best friend today – I got some cube ice, put in o towel, then place it to my face and neck from time to time. It helps big time.
3. Open all your windows and let some fresh air (if there is) come inside the room. Open all the curtains-I also opened our door.
4. Wear sleeveless, spaghetti strap, sandos or any clothes that are comfortable and cool enough for you.

Thankful Thursday
“ When God is trying to move us from one level to the next, we always have to be separated from something that we are strongly attached to. You can't go where you want to go & stay where you are, But keep in mind that whatever GOD is asking you to give up & go thru, He will give you the strength to handle it"
I closed my eyes and thanked Him for the guidance which I prayed for last night.
But still am praying for the courage and the strength. Something came up that could help us financially but still leaving something you're attached to is not easy.
What are you thankful for this week? A new HDTV? Blessings? Trials? whatever it is..share it with us. Laurie is hosting and we will be glad to see you there.

A wife of a noble character
There is a blog or site I read that focus on Proverbs 31. And we all know that it is about the wife of noble character. Reading and meditating those verses made me check on how I am faring on that said wife. And truth to be told (and it hurts), she was far beyond compare.
Her character as a wife is rare, precious, trustworthy and kind. – I might be trustworthy, I might be rare or precious (at lest for my husband) but I don’t think I am kind at all times.
Her devotion as a homemaker – good steward, diligent, works joyfully, disciplined and a lot more – which I failed but I shall fail forward. I will strive to at least have one of her many good characters as a homemaker.
She’s generous as a neighboor – Verse 20
She’s god fearing, she’s honored, she’s a devoted teacher and mother.
~~~~
I haven’t seen such a woman in my life. But I know a lot who strive to be like her. And I am sure the Lord will honor the desire of our heart.
In this new and developed world we live in, no one wants to be homemaker anymore, women with successful career leave the homemaking job to the maidservants, nannies and helpers. You can even take a look at many womens dresses now, what do you think is the big difference? I don’t think womens apparel should be very very revealing to the point that you are showing everything in the public. I am very conservative when it comes to dressing maybe it is because I was raised in a conservative home.
Anyways, it is still us who will carry ourselves outside and as long as you do your duty as a Christian women (being light and salt) of this world , I think it doesn’t matter what kind of clothes you wear or what kind of work you do.
Cheers to all the women who are in pursuit of Provers 31!!!!

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

God bless the PHILIPPINES
The Philippines has its new President and I wish him all the best in his gargantuan task to lead this country to healing and recovery. I’m sure he will be needing the best anti- wrinkle creams because of the many problems our country is facing right now.
I pray he will do something to at least alleviate the POVERTY in this land.
I pray he will keep his promise-that he will not be a corrupt President that he will give to people what is due to them.
It’s time to move on and to forget the ugly thoughts and words during the campaign period.
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES

Mother's day @ the church
So this is how we celebrate the Mother's day today at the church, All the children who have moms there were called in the front then they gave flowers (some have cards) to their moms and all the moms were also asked to come to front with their kids and then they hugged and the Leaders prayed fro mothers. I cried for two things :
1. I miss my mom so much
2. I have yet to be called a mom
You can not measure how great a mother's love is, I can tell how big their heart is for their children.
My mom whom I call Nanay did things for me even when I am already grown up and working,she will wash my office uniforms I am too tired to do that, she will prepare my food and even now that she's old (she's 71) she's never too tired to serve us all. I really miss her.
I can imagine her asking me what I want to eat whenever I go home to our home province and I'm sure if she's with me right she'll ask what I need and chat with me while I am bloging, surfing ,playing games and reading this lipozene reviews in the net.
She's very hardworking and I love her very very much. She's coming here on the 17th and we hope to have a belated Mother's day celebration by then.
How about you? How did you celebrate Mother's day today? Did you call your mom? didi you sned her gifts?

Praying for Thailand
This is next in line for our short mission trip. The husband has been praying for it years ago. It started when someone prayed for him at the church and saw a vision of him in Thailand. Since then, he has been praying and he's been longing to see what God has planned for him in that country.
We are praying that the trip will happen this year, probably on the last quarter of the year. I've also been reading a lot about Thailand and I know for a fact that the weather there is also very humid. Just like in Sabah where temperature is also super warm and humid, plain walking will get you all sweaty , a natural belly fat burner I must say.
Here are more facts from the CIA world factbook:
RELIGION : Buddhist 94.6%, Muslim 4.6%, Christian 0.7%, other 0.1% (2000 census)
LANGUAGE:Thai, English (secondary language of the elite), ethnic and regional dialects
CLIMATE: Current Weather : tropical; rainy, warm, cloudy southwest monsoon (mid-May to September); dry, cool northeast monsoon (November to mid-March); southern isthmus always hot and humid
Please join us in praying for Thailand.
Aquarium Fish I like
Me and my husband are considering getting ourselves an aquarium fish/es since we can not have dogs or any pets in the house we are renting we thought fish/es would do good. A friend actually encouraged us to have one. He said aquarium fish is not hard to maintain, there are variety of fish that are not expensive and fish food I think is not that costly too.
But what made me thought about it seriously is the benefits you can get for having such. Like the following:
1. It is a good therapy
2. Studies say that gazing at it reduces stress (i need that)
3. It lowers blood pressure
and a lot more. But for the "reduce stress" benefit, I think I'm gonna go for it.
Do you have an aquarium fish? How do you take care of it? Is it expensive? How many times do you clean it?
