Now Playing Tracks


365 days ago, this moment, I was asleep, nasa panaginip na never kong naalala kung meron man.
365 days ago, I never realized that death of a closed loved one was experience-able.

I was actually in the dorm, having my preparatory sleep for tomorrow’s shifting exam. More or less three in the morning, someone knocked on our door. Nagising at binuksan, si kuya guard pala; May naghahanap daw sakin sa baba, pero sino?
Took my cellphone, went down and saw kuya joseph. In a glimpse, I knew something happened - naospital ulit si daddy? kelangan ulit niyang maadmit? bat andito si kuya? Hmmm? While walking towards him, he wrapped his arm towards my shoulder saying “James, wala na si daddy mo”. In the absence of speech, we proceeded to his car, nothing to say, so many things to think about: I don’t know.
Back then, I didn’t know. It was really hard, my heart was crushed with guilt and sorrow, helplessness and helplessness and more helplessness. I want to take time embracing him more, loving him more - but the Lord said, this is my plan. I questioned why? but He provided no immediate answer. He just told us “Choose Me”.
Dati akala ko, masamang masaktan; akala ko, kaya tayo nabubuhay - para maging masaya at iwasan masaktan. Hindi pala ganun yun, kelangan pala masaktan, kasi kung di dahil dun hindi ko maiintindihan na gusto ni Lord na lumakas ako. Pain made me understand more about how life should be, it taught me that no matter what, God loves me.
Actually, hindi ko talaga alam kung pano pa gagawin or itutuloy tong blog na to, kung ano ilalagay ko, kung anong flow or order ung ilagay. Alam ko lang na dapat ko tong gawin, kasi gusto kong ishare na kahit pa gano kasakit mga nangyayari, kay Lord lang talaga at sa mga plano nya tayo makakahanap ng peace - syempre kelangan magtiwala. Napakadami pang mangyayari, mga level up na challenges at sakit at syempre saya at kung ano man, Lord, nasayo storya ng buhay ko.
I love you daddy, I’ll strive to be better, to always do good, to be like you. Pray for us always.

Pi: It’s your story now.

Amazing film, story, Unbelievable experiences. The Lord uses different stories of various people to make us understand the unbelievable stories and experiences that are in store for us. What’s your story?

“Lord you’re more than enough for me”

Kagising ko lang galing sa isang event sa buhay ko na hindi ko malilimutan. Live it Up; Oo, napakadami nang nangyari na tulad nito dati, pero ibang iba dating nito at implication sa buhay ko ngayon. PagkaCR, pagkakuha sa macbook ni ate, pagkabukas ng FB: Tears streamed, “Lord, I don’t deserve any of these”; kahit paulit ulit na lang yung words na yan, never magiging enough yung efforts ko, kung meron man, para ibalik yung pagmamahal na 100% na inaabot ni Lord sa buhay ko.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.      1Jn 4:10

Lord maraming maraming salamat sa buhay na to. Talo na ko dati at walang direksyon kasi walang rason, pero Lord totoong pinanalo mo na pala talaga ako - you won as a victor over my sins, my wrongness, failures. pero Lord, lahat naman yun ay nakaraan - this time alam kong you send us into a mission to really EXPERIENCE the BEST LIFE EVER that we can only experience once we really CHOOSE YOU.

Maraming maraming salamat sa mga taong ginamit mo this weekend. Seryoso, napakasarap pakinggan, sobrang nakakainspire kung pano ginamit ni Lord yung mga YFLs  na nagtestify through serving this weekend. Tulad nung summer, at lahat ng Jesus Experiences na naranasan ko: “LORD, wag na wag mo akong bitawan, sa pagkapit ko sa inyo pwedeng ako makabitaw; Lord kayo na ang kumapit, kung muntikan na akong mawawala ulit, gawin niyo po lahat ng paraan para hulihin ako sa grace ng pagmamahal niyo, mahal na mahal ko kayo”. Amen

Sa lahat ng nag serve this weekend’s youth camp: maraming maraming salamat, mula sa puso ni James. mushy man, pero salamat talaga; sabay sabay pa tayong magrogrow sa pagmamahal ni Lord. Live it Up. Col2:6-7
