Typhoon.Storm.Pray
Our country once again was hit by a typhoon yesterday and if you think that we ever get used to it, no we don't.
Typhoon "Pedring" battered almost the whole of Luzon with strong winds and rains that filled the dams, thus flooded many provinces and towns including Metro Manila. The ever famous Manila Bay was not spared and establishments nearby (hotels, US Embassy, Museum and restaurants) were flooded.
Praise God.. we were spared. We had no electricity the whole day yesterday and that was it. But my heart goes out to those who suffered much, to those whose houses weren't spared and to those whose source of income were damaged and mostly to mothers who lost their children because of the typhoon. I know moms tend to be protective (some even use portable baby monitors) but how can you stop a ravaging water? how can you protect someone when you can't even protect your own life?
Please keep on praying for us because there is another storm coming and it will hit again the Northern part of Luzon which is still flooded until now. Pray it will not bring damage and will claim no more lives.

Coffee break ministry.
Where two or three people gather for a cup of coffee at least once or twice a month and talk about God. His faithfulness, his goodness and and His love. Or talk about life, circumstances and whatever it is that they would like to talk to.
I would love to have this kind of ministry. I love coffee ( instant coffee, brewed, black & mild or sweet and mild, brown, hot, cold or iced ) and I would certainly love to have it while sharing with someone and then at the same time ministering or being ministered.
I will pray about it and hopefully this will push through.

do you WORRY?
Image source : us.fotolia.com
because right now, I DO. my hands are cold..it's like anytime soon I'll be torn. I made a mistake and I discovered it only now and I knew very well, MISTAKES ARE NOT FREE.
I am worried that if they learn about it I'll be screwed. So I'm praying, begging that there will be no major effect on whatever/wherever we have used it.
I hope the Lord will listen and spare me.
What do you do when you worry?
I know I can put it into God's hands and leave it to HIM but I can't help it eh.
I'm such a worrier. I wish I can do something about it.

Working too hard?
Work has been crazy for two days in a row now. I'm expecting another crazy day tomorrow. I just wish it wouldn't last until Friday or else I'll have no more energy come weekend. :( But as I have said in my daily blog, I am not complaining. I'm thankful instead that I have a job.
People close to me often say I work too hard and often joke about me having a lot of kids that's why I have to work too hard. I don't know though, sometimes I am wondering if I am working too hard then why can't I afford little pleasures in life? a big plasma tv with plasma tv mounts? or a trip to beauty parlor at least once a month? Not that it would make me happier because I know very well that I can't find happiness in such. Just wondering.
How about you my dear readers? do you think you are working too hard?

Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young.
My oldest nephew Ryan is already in third year high school, one more year and he’ll graduate and will be in college, as early as now he knows what he’ll study, he’ll not be into a mechanical engineering career career but he plans to take other Engineering course. Electronic Communications Engineer, that’s what he wants. And I can only pray for God’s guidance for him to achieve his dream.
Ryan, young as he is but is already serving the Lord. He worship leads in a small church where his mom is the Pastor. He loves music ever since he was a kid like 5 or 6 years old and even then when you ask him what he will be when he grows up, he would always say a Pastor. So I want to think he’ll be an Engineer Pastor :) someday.
This proves that no matter what your age is, God can use you as long as you are willing. So don’t you ever think you are too young for any kind of ministry, remember what Paul said to Timothy.
"Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity." 1 Timothy 4: 12

Weight problem
I know when it comes to loosing weight, I am a failure, I tried enrolling myself in the gym (twice), did low carb-high protein diet, no rice diet but none worked for me basically because I lacked the discipline and determination. The last time I seriously lost some weight was when I was about to get married and that was 5 years ago.
I don’t know if it’s the motivation that helped me because if it was, don’t you think trying to conceive for almost 4 years now would be enough and better motivation for me to loose weight?
I can blame the age and some syndrome
but I know I can still do something about it.
I can lose weight. All I need is S.E.L.F. D.I.S.C.I.P.L.I.N.E
And maybe a little help from the aquatic exercise machine, a swim spa where you can run, jog, walk or row. But since I don’t have that underwater gym I will have to find other ways.
Maybe I’ll have to continue the evening exercise my husband and I started last month. (I wonder why do we have this bad habit of starting and stopping after few weeks . Sigh.
I hope this time I am dead serious or else it will be dead me sooner that everyone expected due to weight problem. And I don’t want that to happen.

Benefit show
We are doing a benefit show next month, all the proceeds will go to the scholarship program of our church. I watch the youth last Sunday while they were rehearsing and I know it will be a good show. I pray we can gather enough funds because we are planning to accept more young people in the program.
Besides the main purpose of fundraising, through this show we also wanted to impart the audience how ones life can be destroyed by making wrong decisions and that you are responsible for your actions.
This will be held in our church on October 28 at 6:00 PM.
I am so happy that the church is buying a new set of microphones just in time for the show. And though our sound system is not as good as the TVee Model 25 sound system from Boston acoustics, I know it will still be better because of the new microphones. I pray too that we can borrow some lights for the show.
