Thankful Thursday - HAPPY KIDS

Welcome to Thankful Thursday and for the month of JUNE, Iris of Grace Alone is hosting.

Last Saturday was our "Back to school : Hygiene Day":  we taught them basic hygiene, we bathe them , cleaned their ears, clipped their nails, gave them free haircut and fed them. before going home, we gave them some stuff they can use at home (toothpaste, bath soap, toothbrush, face towel, and some school supplies)

I thank the Lord for the people who supported this ministry. may the Lord bless your heart with joy and peace forever :) here are the pictures of the happy kids. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!

HIS PLANS

I just need to remind my self.........

nothing found

This is funny, when I tried looking up for diet pills that work in my browser, it says nothing found for diet pills that work. I think it is true in some sense. Because for a diet pill to work you have to work too. I've tried a lot of pills when I was still single and younger and I won't recommend it to anyone unless you have consulted a doctor. I remember a diet pill (which is the biggest diet pill I've ever seen) I took few years ago, it didn't work and worst my life was put to danger. One day I found my self having hard time breathing and there was a pain in my chest. I got so worried and I stopped it.

Best thing to do if I want to lose weight? exercise and eat right. And the best of all have self discipline.

Go..do it Raquel!!!

Printing t-shirts and some tasks

Happy Monday everyone!!

I hope I started the day early but I am forgiving myself because we slept real late last night. I wanted to start the day early and my week early because we have lots of things to do. My husband especially is super busy with his silk screen printing and with that I am planning to do the Business Name registration this week. We wanted to do it right and we wanted to issue official receipts to our clients and we don’t want to be called fly by night supplier even if it is just small. Worst I don’t want someone calling as scam like the apidexin scam issues spreading over the net.

So, we have to register it and I want to do it the soonest possible time. Church anniversary is on Sunday and we have tasks to finish, the husband is in charge with the stage backdrop and of course the worship team. He has yet to finish the shirts the Sunday Schoolers are wearing on that day too.

May god give us all the strength we need.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

"God is Faithful"

This was the preachers' topic this morning. And you may say that "oh yeah..it is usually a common topic among preachers just like how common we talked about weight-loss products" but I tell you it is entirely different when you hear it from someone who had to give up a good,decent and stable life just to follow the Lord.

Our speaker this morning is one of the first missionaries our church have sent to foreign missions. He was a Doctor and he earns a lot here during that time but when he obeyed, he gave it all up and followed the Lord in a foreign land where he didn't know anyone, a place where he did not know if he can still provide well for his family.But God honored his decision and HE is indeed faithful.

Somehow I feel it is hard to obey God when you have to give up something big in your life like career but God is bigger than anything in this world right?

I think God has been talking to me through out the whole service and I pray that I will get to listen to His voice, obey Him and choose Him for He is faithful.

Good night everyone!

I was supposed to upload the hygiene pictures today but our internet connection is acting up. It is a lot slower than usual and opening a website takes longer than it normally does. I didn’t dare tried uploading at facebook because I know I won’t finish it. Hopefully I’ll get it done by tomorrow. For the mean time I am gonna rest now because I’ve been working since morning and tomorrow is Sunday. I have to remind my self again that Sunday Worship begins Saturday night. So off to bed  I’ll go now folks but not right after reading about this cheap insurance quotes.

Hope you all go to church tomorrow and enjoy worshiping the Lord with your church family, but in case you can't, enjoy GOD's presence whatever you will be doing.

God bless!!

Tired but Joyful

God is so good!!

Today was our hygiene day, our day started earlier than usual.I was up before 8 AM and was already at the center at around 8:20 AM.

The event went well, we have 49 kids in the morning and 42 kids in the afternoon. It is sad though that one area didn't make it so all in all we 91 kids served. We bathed them, we treated them with lice shampoo and please don't ask me how many head lice we were able to remove because it's too many. Good thing I was able to buy a good hair lice treatment shampoo in this pharmacy I'll if they have the best hair loss shampoo too. We cleaned their wounds, their earls and clipped their ears. We even bought a pair of slipper to a kid who came there without slipper.

The kids were happy after all the things we've done to them. They looked all beautiful and nice with their new haircut and with their new hygiene kit :)

It was tiring but it was worth it.

Again, thank you for all those who supported us. May the Lord bless you a hundred fold.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Pictures to follow :)

Hygiene Day tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is the big event for our kids ministry, “back to school-hygiene day” is happening tomorrow and for sure volunteers will be needing the best wrinkle cream after, hehe. Dealing with hundreds of kids is no joke.

But of course, I know that as we serve these kids we are doing it also for the Lord, in return God will give us JOY that is embedded deed within. Joy that can not be bought and if you are joyful you will not be needing any creams at all to make you feel and look young.

Please pray that this ministry will be instrumental for the kid’s family to come to know Jesus Christ.

Intercede for us please. We need it.

Thankful Thursday

It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.
For you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord;
I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
How great are your works, O Lord,
how profound your thoughts!

Psalm 92:1-5

It's Thankful Thursday today and I am praising God and thanking Him for the following;

1. Hubby is doing good in his t-shirt printing sideline. He was able to replaced the tires of our motorbike this week and the money was from that small business. Praise God!

2. We were able to come to PASSION MANILA, hubby as audience and me as a volunteer. I can not describe the feeling seeing thousand of people gathering for only one name. JESUS is alive in Manila.

3. God is steering us to HIS plan for us. The ride might not always be smooth but knowing that God's hand is there to guide you is comforting enough. We will be living a new way of life in the next couple of months or next year, maybe a new environment, new house where I can put an outdoor furniture, a garden and a bigger place for hubby's printing business. It will be completely different from what we used to but we are excited.

4. for the opportunity to serve Him in a lot of ways, I have limited time due to work but I am thankful I can still serve in that small time I have.

What are you thankful for this week? Laurie is still hosting. Share your thankful heart and be a blessing to us!

I was there -PASSION MANILA

and though I was not able to watch the whole thing still I went home blessed and inspired.

I was a volunteer and I am more than happy to help behind the scene. We are assigned to help the more than 10,000 people go in and out of the Araneta Coliseum smoothly. And through out the concert, I remained posted and was in continuous prayer as advised by our team leader. Sure it was tiring, walking here and there and it was hot outside the dome and poor me I forgot to bring water, sure I sweat as if I am running a treadmill ( at least I lost some pounds without the help from fat burner pills and my legs were numb but I was in awe. Hearing a united voice shouting the name of JESUS is amazing.

It was an unforgettable experience. And I would gladly do it again. Can't wait for 2012.
