Precious Story about Faith

I want to share this beautiful story I've found in the net, it's about faith. After reading this story I've realized that kahit saan ka man sa mundo, kahit bawal pa doon ang religion kung gustohin mo lang gawa mo pa din gawin...

Pananampalataya dinaan sa baraha

DI-KARANIWANG tahimik sa umagang iyon ng Linggo sa isang bansa sa Middle East. Walang putukan ng baril o pagsabog ng bomba. Nilabas ng binatang sundalo ang mga baraha at nilatag sa kama. Siya namang pagpasok ng sarhento, na nagtanong kung bakit di siya sumama sa platoon na nagkakasayahan.

“Nagpaiwan po ako para magmuni-muni tungkol sa Panginoon,” sagot ng sundalo.

“Ow, maglalaro ka lang yata ng baraha, e.” binalikan siya ni Sarge.

“Hindi po, sir. Bawal kasi tayo magdala ng Bibliya at ibang librong Kristiyano dito, kaya kakausapin ko ang Diyos sa paraan ng baraha.”

“Paano?” di-makapaniwalang tanong ng sarhento sa sundalo.

“Kita mo itong Ace, Sarge? Ito ang nagpapaalala sa  akin na iisa ang Diyos. Ang Dos ay dalawang parte ng Bibliya -- ang Old at New Testaments. Ang Tres ay Holy Trinity: Diyos Ama, Diyos Anak, Diyos Espirito Santo. Ang Kuwatro ay apat na gospel nina Mateo, Marco, Lucas at Juan. Ang Singko ay para sa limang birhen; sampu sila, pero lima lang ang pinapurihan. Ang Seis ay ang anim na araw ng paglikha ng Diyos sa mundo. Ang Siyete ay ang araw na nagpahinga Siya matapos maglikha. Ang Otso ay tungkol sa pamilya ni Noah, asawa nya, tatlong anak at mga asawa nila na niligtas ng Diyos sa malaking baha na lumipol sa mundo. Ang Nuwebe ay mga ketongin na ginamot ni Hesus; sampu sila pero siyam ang hindi man lang nagpasalamat. Ang Diyes ay ang Sampung Utos ng Diyos na inabot kay Moses. Ang Jack ay nagpapalala kay Satanas, isang dating anghel ngunit sinipa sa langit dahil sa kanyang masamang gawi at siya ngayon ang joker sa impiyerno. Ang Queen ay ang Birheng Maria. At ang King ay si Hesus, Hari ng lahat.

“Kaya kapag nais kong kausapin ang Diyos at magpasalamat sa Kanya, ang mga lumang barahang ito ang nagpapaalala sa akin.”

“Pahiram nga ng ba­raha at magdadasal din ako,” anang sarhento.

Team building sa EBSCO

Last week were having a team building somewhere in Punta Engano, Lapu-lapu City the beach was great white sands and everything but not so so...hahaha. It was a great feeling when you have time to enjoy with your friends slash co-workers. And everyone enjoyed the activities and games prepared by our superiors and prizes of course no one can say NO to this…hahaha…Actually it was the first time that EBSCO were having a TEAM Building, maybe our new management decided to do this to know more of their employees and that’s a very good idea because as I observe everyone were really having fun. The foods naks walang akong say 3 lechons and etc. plus the liquors were flowing no doubts most my officemates really get drunk…haha. It was an overnight event and I love to be in the shore during nights listening the music created by the waves while the stars were twinkling miles away from me…naks…haha…its really relaxing…hehe

SUFFERING – WHY?

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me (Psalm 23:4)

Have you experienced a time when everything was going just right and then for no apparent reason everything went wrong? Whenever misfortune strikes, the questions usually asked is: “Why did God let this happen to me?”
The Bible gives us insight into suffering. Sometimes God allows us to suffer so we can down and take stock of our lives. It maybe that you are now walking through an hour of darkness so that you will find God’s Son as the light of your life. Jesus knew what it meant to suffer he experienced physical pain, the loneliness of being forsaken by his friends, and the agony of facing death. While it is true He lived a sinless life. He was still human and can understand your hurts. The Bible says, “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him (Nahum 1:7)”. Have you made the wonderful discovery of taking refuge in the LORD and trusting HIM when trouble knocks at your door?
Do not hesitate to Him for grace and strength.

Flowers Following the Fire

God causes all things to work together for good to those who love GOD…(Romans 8:28)

When fire swept through Laguna Canyon, a botanical garden containing more than 2,000 varieties of plants and flowers was destroyed. The fire blackened the hillside. Disaster? Yes! That’s what people called it, and that it was. Yet, just five months later the hills were alive with the beauty of wild flowers that had not been seen in the area for nearly one hundred years.

At times what we consider to be a disaster is simply the hand of GOD rearranging and directing our lives. The difference between a Christian and the man who considers life to be a disorganized and disconnected move of fate, is that the Christian believes God’s purpose and design is behind every event. He looks for the flowers after the fire.

If your life has been damaged by fire, let GOD speak peace to your heart, and begin to look for the flowers that can transform the blackened landscape. Allow the seeds that are only lying dormant to take full bloom.

Another wonderful message I want to share to everyone from the book of Harold J. Sala---At some point of our life we thought that everything was falling against to our plans, we always forgot that GOD ways are not our ways; HE knows what’s the best for us. Sometimes HE gets something for us maybe because HE knows that it’s good for us or HE wants to give you something much better.

The time I meet the my inspiration...Ms. Sonia Francesca...

Such a great feeling when you finally meet the person who inspires and make you smile through her writing. I was really fan of Tagalog novels since my high school days that inspire me to write also my own stories. I was on my college days when I become more particular on authors, first I love the works of Ms. Gilda Olvidado, her stories was really good, theres is kilig and lessons. Then my classmates hmm I forgot the name..hehe…introduces me the works of Ms. Martha Cecelia, the time I read it I can’t over to read and read all over again. Her stories are really different. I don’t know how I can describe it, from the characters that play on her on books basta nakakashonga ng brain ang sobrang kilig.hahaha... May mga time na ako mismo fall inlove with the boys in her stories..haha..weeeeee…specially the Kristine series…well I have completed this series…at hindi ako ngsasawa to read it all over again..hehe…all the characters in her stories ay boyfriend ko…oh diba ambisyosa…ahaha.. Until such time I had experience the real love..haha..and real heartaches…haha… Then I was looking a different story something that can make me smile because at that I was really chuvaness and eklabush…haha... Right there and then I met the works of Ms. Sonia Francesca…weeee…summary pa lang..natatawa na ako. Right then I pick up 3 novels from her works at it never disappoint me everytime I read her books I always forgot the heartaches that I have..haha.. One time binato ako ng mother ko ng pillow kasi daw tawa ako tawa…haha..

the d R e A m - that leads me to reality

I’m a bit worried right now, just this afternoon, I was dreaming my closest cousin, he was my best friend since my elementary days and until now though we rarely see other. As I remember, on my dreams he was hugging and telling me “I really miss you”, I hug him back and ask him “What’s wrong?” He was about to tell me he’s problem but I suddenly woke up because of a very loud thunder. I don’t know what’s the meaning of that dream I’m just wondering why I had that of dream. After that dream I suddenly felt that I really miss him so much. I’m texting him but I didn’t received any reply maybe because aw nadash napod to load…haha…gaan chance minyo na baya and load it’s not a priority anymore…haha… Everytime I remember the old days, the happy memories that we had (mga chuvaness and eklabush)..hahha.. I just can’t help not to smile especially the first time he’s telling me that his girlfriend was pregnant. He face at that time, as I remember is like he was carrying the world…hahaha… And I just remember at that time I just cant help not to laugh though a bit sad because he’s gonna take different path, a new chapter in his life and I know things were not be same. Weeee…I really miss him so much it’s been too long that we haven’t talk and see other and I just hope that he is really fine and his family as well.
