Glasses and a relax weekend

Finally weekend is here :) It was a busy week for me and my husband, me at work and him with the kid's ministry. Vacation Bible School is over and we're looking forward to a more relax days next week. I now have the chance to read Eric's Review of Zenni Optical because again hubby's eyeglasses is worn out and he's thinking of a replacement but we want to only have those with the Lowest Price Progressive Glasses, because that's what we can afford. Been thinking about getting him one from The #1 online Rx glasses store but still we have to wait for the budget.

I think he would love this

In this tough time, we don't just buy unless we need it. We need to save and save and save for our future plans. This year we still see more short term mission trip and we need to save for that.

Anyways, here's for a more relax weekend :)

4th wedding anniversary

Today we celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. We will not have any celebrations unlike before but it doesn't mean that today is not special. Rudolf will be in the church to help in the DVBS and I will be in the office. And even if we have time I still don't think our finances will allow us to have a celebration or sort not after the recent one month mission trip in Sabah.

Here is our written wedding vows 4 years ago but it was in Tagalog (our native tounge). We had a Filipino theme wedding thus explains our Tagalog invites, Tagalog vows and Tagalog ceremony.

Ours was just a simple and intimate wedding, we didn't have diamonds in our wedding rings,we didn't have the best wedding supplier int town but we had "God's best"  and that was more than enough.

We are only on our 4th and it's still a long way to go but it's ok, we know we are going there together and whatever path we take we will hold hands forever.

"what God hath joined together, let no man separate" 

THANK YOU LORD FOR  BEING FAITHFUL FOR US FOR FOUR YEARS !!!

Kids Ministry -DVBS

Daily vacation Bible school is currently on going in our church. DVBS is an annual summer activity for the kids. This year’s theme is “CARING FOR THE PLANET” which I find great because it is not only good but also necessary to teach the kids about our home planet with climate change and global warming happening today.

Dear husband is teaching the kids all the songs about the planet and he has been singing it whole week in our house :)

Yesterday was the first day and as usual it is chaotic, what can you expect to have less than 100 kids at the church at one time? Who would need an alli weight loss with that? :) But I am sure the volunteer teachers were able to handle them. I wish I was there to help the whole week but I have work. But my mind was with the DVBS the whole day yesterday.

Today is the second day and can't wait to hear stories from hubby later :)

Busy but good weekend

hello!! how's everyone? How's your weekend? How did you spend it? Did you go to church? Did you spend it with your family?

We had a pretty busy weekend for ministries but it was good. It started last Friday night, we lead the worship in the ACLIM's 3rd Anniversary.

Saturday morning, dear husband went with our church husband's swimming fellowship and in the afternoon we went to Divisoria to buy the supplies needed for the Daily Vacation Bible School for kids. Saturday evening, we had the regular worship team practice for the Sunday Worship. This time though, we started to have prayer time first before the proper rehearsal. I hope and pray that we will continue to do this. Prayer is an integral part of worship. And as I have said before God is teaching not only me and the worship team but our church as well to spend more time in prayer.

Sunday Worship was great! It was so pleasant to see people lifting their hands to God, worshiping Him, opening their hearts to God and I know that's because someone (some) prayed.

Sunday evening, we were invited to a swimming farewell party and off we went, it was an hour and a half travel with our motorbike (quite far actually) but it's ok, along our way we passed by a certain Auto Show (for sure there are Ferrari parts on sale there so we we're slightly held in a traffic.

We just arrived home few hours ago. It's already Monday morning (2 AM exact time). It was a busy and long weekend but it was good.

Have a nice week everyone!!

Prayer Request

Our worship team which is being led by my husband is leading the worship tonight for the ACLIM's (Association of Christian Leaders in Makati) anniversary. It is a big event and the audience I presumed will all be leaders and Pastors from different churches in Makati.

We ask for your prayers please:

~ pray that we will be able to lead them to worship God in tonight's service
~ pray for the moving of the Holy Spirit even during worship time.
~ please pray for these Christian Leaders that they will have wisdom and passion in serving God in their own areas.

Thank you and to GOD be all the GLORY!!!

Thankful Thursday-Prayer

"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known among the nations what he has done"
Psalm 105:1My yahoo messenger status for the whole week is “God is good all the time” because He really is. Even when we are in bad situations, even if economy is bad, even if our health is not in good condition, even if relationships are broken, even if our heart is down, and even if we are BAD, God remains to be good. ALL THE TIME.

And I thank Him so much for that. Because of His goodness I am always being restored.

This week He’s teaching me about prayer. The book “fresh wind and fresh fire” by Jim Cymbala has opened my eyes anew about how prayer works. I also watch the video “My house will be called a house of prayer.” And guess what the sermon was in our church last Sunday? It was also about prayer.

Compared to the hours I spent over the internet against praying I know I fail him but I thank God for reminding me and for the conviction.

And thank you Lord for being good even if I am not most of the time.

Head on to Lynn’s site and read how God is working at her through her neighbor

Be blessed everyone.

And just before you go can you just say a prayer for someone please? It could be a friend you haven’t seen for a long time, it could be your parents or sisters or brothers or someone from your church, your pastor or even someone form the blogging world. God will surely bless that someone because behold someone prayed for the.

Dirty Feet

This is how my feet looks like everyday when we were in Sabah especially when we were in the village, it's no use of washing them while you are there because it will get dirty again with all the kids running around in the dirt the whole morning of sports and fun day. Taking care of these kids can beat the most effective diet pills available. I can guarantee you that. Run with them and play with them you'll definitely lose weight and you'll have loads of F-U-N!

I don't mind getting my feet dirty.

I'm sure the disciples had dirty feet too everyday.

Rise UP homecoming concert

I was supposed to attend Rise Up's homecoming worship concert tonight with hubby and we were supposed to go straight to the venue from my office but I do not feel well and all I want to do tonight is sleep and get rest. I do not know why I am dizzy the whole afternoon, it's probably because I've been reading and typing the whole day. Hubby was actually a bit disappointed when I told him I can't make it because we've been looking forward to this. But then he agreed that I should rest, how I wish I'll be resting in an air conditioned home with a home theater seating or a super comfy bed but that is just wishful thinking. The weather's been up to more than 35 degrees lately and it is so hot. I say my wishing for an air conditioned home is reasonable.

Anyways, I hope those who would come to the concert to have fun and have a very energized night with the band. i am sure it will be a blessed night. Pastor Roman (the lead singer) is more than just a singer but is also a very good speaker.

New song!!

The Lord gave my husband a new song when we were in Sabah and we've been singing it in the church for two Sundays now and I personally heard someone said that it is a good song. And I must say it is. Here is the lyrics of that song:

YOU REIGN
by: R.Abadiano
March 2010

When darkness covers me
And sorrow overwhelmed my soul
You are there

When problems surrounded me
And my body is all covered with pain
You are there

Pre Chorus

On the cross you showed your love
You have died for me
And on the grave you overcame
The death to set me free

Chorus

You reign forever Lord
You reign forever
Yeah..you reign
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God's love is so assuring, isn't it? Having him in your life is like having a term life insurance and even more than that. Sickness, sorrows, pain name it..He will be there for you.

Thank God for giving my husband a new song!! and thank you that you are using that song to minister to people in our church and to those who'll have the chance to listen.
