7. Trusting God.

Proverbs 3:5-8 | Trust in the LORD with all your heart  and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyesfear the LORD and This will bring health to your bodyand nourishment to your bones.

Trusting is putting your whole weight on something or somebody. Whenever we are stressed, we tend to find our forever comfortable beds. Right? I had loads of moments in  my life when I open my door and all I want to do is to go directly to my bedroom and lay on my bed. Truth is, it is easier to trust a bed to carry us when we are troubled, stressed and so on than to trust God to carry our burdens.

Trusting God means you have to learn to unload every burden to him. And, we need to realize that everything is subject to change. We don’t own our lives. God owns us. We can’t and never can control everything. That’s God’s job.

Let me end this with a simple quote from Martin Luther.. “I have hold many things in my hands and I have lost them all. But whenever I put in God’s hands still I possess.“ Let’s learn to let go, and just let God handle things for us. We could be perfectly sure that things are happening for us, and not against us.

God bless you! :)

No one is hopeless whose hope is on God.

~ Amen.

If you're cute, you call me babe, if you're sweet you can call me honey, if you're HOT, then you can call me tonight.

— OHA ! HAHAHAH.

No place like home.

Nakauwi na din.

Mas masarap na nga naman matulog sa sarili mong bahay. Better yet, sa sarili mong kwarto. Bakit ?

• Yung pakiramdam na kapag humiga ka walang kasing lambot ang kama mo.
• Yung pakiramdam na walang kasing sarap kayakap ang unan mo.
• Yung pakiramdam na walang kasing init ang dala ng kumot mo.
• Yung pakiramdam na hindi ka conscious sa posisyon mo.
• Yung pakiramdam na hindi ka takot sa kasama mo.
• Yung pakiramdam na baka magulat/matakot/magpanic sila kung sakaling humilik ka man op magsalit o tumayo o kung anuman ang gawin mo habang tulog.

Isa pa, kama mo lang sa bahay ang may kakayahan kang tawagin ka na parang tila nanunukso na matulog ka uli. Sa ibang bahay, bawal maoverslept, nakakahiya. Except nalang kung kapamilya mo yun. Minsan nga, kahit sa kapamilya mo na , conscious ka pa. Kailangan magsipag-sipagan eh.

Yung pakiramdam na kahit anong ulan at sikat ng araw, bahay o kwarto mo lang ang makakapagparamdam sa iyo na ligtas ka. Siguro, kung tahanan talaga ang turing mo doon at masaya kang kasama ang buo mong pamilya. Na kahit anong ingay, kulit, gulo at kung anu-ano pa, masaya ka’t nasa bahay ka na.

Ika nga, THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. 

I just want to wake up next to you. Even just for a day.

:""""""""""""""""">

Kahit na ba umuulan. Basta ang kasama mong nagtatampisaw ay ang tunay mong mga kaibigan.

— Sarap ng feeling.

Bakit may mga gabi na sobrang tahimik ?

 O kaya naman may namimiss ka lang.

 Or ang layo mo sa sibilisasyon. Nasa bundok kasi ikaw ngayon. Eh, wlaang signal dun. O kaya naman sakto, naubos yung load mo e, wala naman mapaloadan dun. BUNDOK nga e. Tuloy, wala kang makontak, wala kang makausap. Ang boring ng buhay mo.

 O sadyang tahimik kasi wala kang kakulitan. Kasi wala kang kasama. Kasi wala yung nagpapaenergize ng mundo mo. Kasi wala yung tao na kapag nandyan siya ay ang saya-saya mo. Na wala kang ginawa kundi ngumiti at tumawa. Kasi nga walang nagpapasaya sa iyo.

 O sadyang malungkot ka lang. Kasi may naalala ka na ayaw mong maalala. O may nakita ka na hindi mo dapat nakita. Kasi may narinig ka hindi mo dapat nalaman. O may naramdaman ka na ang sakit sakit sa pakiramdam. Kasi may tinatago ka na hindi mo na talaga kaya. Kasi ngayong gabi, ikaw na lang mag-isa.

 O may nag-iba. May bagong dumating, naiilang ka. O may nawala, naninibago ka. Kaya tahimik ka. Siguro nag-aadjust ka pa lang. Siguro di ka pa marecover. Sa una lang yan. After niyan, masasanay ka din. Ang dati mong tahimik na buhay, maingay na naman.

 Or ang dami mong iniisip. Naiistress ka lang. Ang dami mong pinoproblema. Feeling mo hindi mo na talaga kaya. Nanahimik ka na kasi malapit ka ng sumuko. Pero, hindi. Kaya mo yan. Isip lang. Pero pag di mo na kaya, pahinga.Wag kang hihinto. Magpahinga ka lang. 

 Or may gusto kang makita. Or may boses kang gusto mong marinig. Or may katawan kang gusto mo ng yakapin. O may labi na gusto mo ng halikan. O kamay ka ng gusto mong makaholding hands. Kaso, wala kang magawa. Kaya tahimik ka nalang.

 O sadya talagang may namimiss ka lang.

A good morning starts when you start to smile.

 Tomooo.

Ang MASAMA ay yung PAULIT-ULIT pero hindi NATUTUTO.

— History repeats itself because we haven’t learned our lesson yet. :)

Nakakatamad maging TAMAD.

— realization ko lang. E kayo.

3 araw na walang pasok.

 AY. Grabe. Minsan ang gulo nga naman ng buhay. Parang yung akin lang ngayon. Ayaw ko talagang pumapasok. LOL. PEro ngayong, 3 araw na walang pasok. Ang dami kong narealize.

• Pag walang pasok, boring. Nakakayamot.
• Pag walang pasok, walang baon. Mahirap.
• Pag walang pasok, walang bonding. Nakakamiss.
• Pag walang pasok, walang gala. Nakakamiss.
• Pag walang pasok, boring. Nakakayamot.
• Pag walang pasok, walang baon. Mahirap.

 Sabi ko nga kay Lola, gusto ko ng pumasok bukas. Dahil ang hirap ng buhay sa bahay. Ang hirap ng buhay na wala kang ginagawa. HAHAH. UTANG NA LOOB. Papasukin niyo na ako. HAHAHA.

In the deep.

"They saw the works of the Lord, His wonderful deeds in the deep”
(Psalm 107:24, NIV)


The scripture says is Psalm 107:23, “They that go down to the sea and do business in deep waters, they will see the wonders of God.” Friend, you and I were created to do business in deep waters. In other words, we’re not supposed to have little dreams or little plans. We are supposed to have big dreams. We are supposed to go out into the deep things God has for us. But understand, when you’re out there in the deep waters, you can’t touch the ground. You can’t see the shoreline, and at times, it can get a little rocky. You may not always see how things are going to work out. But, the scripture tells us that deep calls to deep. In other words, God is the one who has called you to the deep waters. He is with you, and He knows there are deep things on the inside of you. When you are in those deep waters, you are not alone. God is with you, and He’s causing those deep things inside of you to come forth.

If you feel like you are out in the deep today, if you feel like you are overwhelmed, remember, you are in the right place and God is with you. You will see His wonderful deeds in the deep, and you will fulfill the destiny He has in store for you.

Do not Conform.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
– 2 Corinthians 6:17

We’re surrounded by a world which is ruled for the most part by Satan. How can we avoid getting caught up in it? How can we stand apart?

You’ll find the answer in John 17:17. There Jesus was speaking to the Father about all those who would believe on Him. “Sanctify them through thy truth,” He said. “Thy word is truth.” Sanctify means “to separate unto.” So Jesus was saying, “Separate them by the Word.” The Word separates!

When you initially believed the Word of God, you were born again. You were separated spiritually from the kingdom of darkness and separated to the kingdom of Light. Now that’s where a lot of people stop. They let the Word of God do its initial separating work and then go right on living like everybody else. Spiritually, they’re still separated from death. But physically and mentally, they’re up to their necks in it. They’re poor. They’re sick. They’re worried. They’re confused. They’re upset. In other words, they’re just like everyone else in the world.

But if you’ll give the Word of God first place in your life, it will continue to separate you from the poverty and the anxiety and the sickness and the hatred and the darkness of your old habitat.

There’s something else that the Word of God will do for you too. It will not only separate you from the things of this world, it will separate you to the things of God.

You can’t simply separate yourself from any old destructive habit without separating yourself to something else. You can’t turn away from the things of the world unless you turn to something stronger. I’m telling you, you can scream and squall and kick the altar bench and everything else trying to get rid of the sin in your life. You can cry, “Dear God, take this sin away from me.” But all the begging in the world won’t separate you from your sin. It’s the Word that does it!

Make a decision to give the Word first place in your life. Make it a quality decision, a decision from which there is no retreat. Lock into the Word and let the Word do its work. Let it separate you from the things of the world and to the things of God.

Pagkatapos ng PRELIMS.

 Yung tipong di mo nameet yung standards mo.

Kumbaga, ginawa mo naman ang the best mo, bakit kulang pa rin. Ginawa mo naman lahat ng makakaya mo bakit wala pa din. Nag-aral ka naman kaso ganon pa rin ang score mo. Nalungkot lang ako.

Nagexpect kasi siguro ako ng mataas. Saka, di lang siguro ako sanay ng mababa. Isa pa, andaming nagexxpect sa akin na mataas ako. Ngayon lang ako nakaranas ng ganitong competition.

Siguro kulang pa nga, next time mas pipilitin tumaas. Competitive man ang dating, atleast you are aiming high. Kasi if you only aim low, paano pag kinapos, edi LOWER ang makukuha mo.

 So Aim Higher. Atleast, di man 100, may 99 naman. Or di man 95, may 87 naman. Hindi yung 80 ang pinunto mo kaso kinapos edi 79. OUCH. So ayun. RISE TO THE TOP !  

Di naman ako MALUNGKOT. Wala lang ako sa mood NGUMITI.

 -- Okay ?

Gusto ko magpanggap na excited na ako mag MONDAY uli.

— Tss.

LAMON kung LAMON.

 Buong araw lang ako kumakain.

 HAHAH. Isipin niyo yun. Paggising ko, hindi ako nag-almusal. Medyo pahinga lang tapos naligo na at nagbihis. Tapos diretso na sa Shangri-La. Dedication kasi at invited ako. Dun ako nagpakasawang kumain. Siguro from 11-2pm nandun ako. Kumakain. HAHAH. Para akong ginutom ng kalahating taon. Halos nga lahat ng putahe natikman ko eh. Pero half day pa lang yan ah. Masaya naman ang celebration. Kumpleto ang SMP, andun si Micah kaso di pa rin kami nagpapansinan ni Ate Clariz. Hayaan mo na. Next time nalang yun. Change topic. Nabusog ako. GRABE.

 Pagkauwi, may pupuntahan pa pala akong celebration naman ng pinsan ko. Birthday niya kasi. At ayun, binusog ko ang sarili ko. Mejo parang nakaubos ko ang ng gabundok na spaghetti at galitrong iced tea. HAHAHA.

 At ngayon, kakauwi ko lang. Di ako makatulog. Baka kasi bangungutin ako eh. LOL. Sumasakit pa ang tiyan ko. Yung pakiramdam ng naIMPACHO. HAHAHAH.

 Gluttony nga naman. Minsan lang naman kumain at mabusog e. Pero lahat parin ng sobra ay masama. 

 Goodnight na. :)

Enduring Satanic Attacks.

Every believer faces temptation. Take a moment to recall a particularly enticing situation involving something that would displease God. Did you realize you were involved in a satanic battle?

The Devil is real. Scripture reveals that he leads an army of fallen angels and is prideful enough to think he can gain victory over God. By definition, a satanic attack is a deliberate assault upon an individual, which is designed to cause spiritual, physical, material, or emotional harm. Satan desires to thwart the Lord’s purpose in believers’ lives, to rob them of joy and peace, and ultimately to deny God the worship He receives through yielded followers.

As in any war, knowing the enemy’s plan helps us prepare for the attack. First, be aware that the battlefield takes place in our minds. To walk in a godly manner with Christ, we must first be sure that our thoughts are in submission to His Spirit. This takes daily surrender and time in God’s Word. Second, Satan tempts us during vulnerable moments. Be cautious when you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired (This is often known as the H.A.L.T.  warning). Third, he is deceptive; we won’t recognize the trap as an evil scheme. Instead, it will seem good, and we’ll likely wrestle with some sort of doubt.

As Christians, we should walk closely with Jesus. Satan desires to lure us into destructive actions that rob us of God’s plan for a good, full life. Stay connected to the Savior: read the Word, pray, and fellowship with other believers. These are weapons we use against the Devil in spiritual war. 

Discourage the Devil

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
– Luke 6:22-23

Do you want to know how to depress the devil? Just follow the instructions in that last verse. When persecution comes, when friends or family criticize you because you lay hands on the sick and believe in healing, and when coworkers call you a fanatic because you love Jesus and aren’t afraid to say so, rejoice! Shout hallelujah and leap for joy!

I tell you that will discourage the devil to no end. He’s expecting that persecution to hurt you. He’s expecting it to damage your faith, to wipe you out, and to leave you in dismay.

I’m not saying you should enjoy the persecution itself. But you can learn to overlook the discomfort of those things by focusing your attention on the reward that’s coming and the fact that Jesus said you are blessed.

The Apostle Paul certainly knew how to do that. He was an expert on rejoicing in the midst of persecution. Satan was constantly stirring up trouble for him. But do you know what he said about all that persecution? He said it was not even worth considering compared to the glory that was about to be revealed.

If Paul could rejoice in the midst of beatings, stonings, shipwrecks, imprisonment and almost every other kind of persecution, you can too!

Just do what he did. When he was told by the Holy Ghost that bonds and afflictions awaited him, he said, “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24).

Don’t get all caught up in what people think and what people say down here on earth. Get caught up in pleasing the Lord. Get caught up in finishing your course with joy. Get caught up in the glorious hope that’s ahead. For that hope is enough to make anyone—under any circumstances—leap for joy!

Hopes up !

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day”
(Proverbs 4:18, ESV)

No matter what is happening in your life today, as a believer in Jesus, you have a reason to be excited about your future! If things seem dark right now, know that the dawn will soon appear. The key is you have to remember that you are not here by accident. You have a purpose and destiny to fulfill, and He isn’t finished with you yet. Your best days are not behind you; your best days are out in front of you.

One thing I know is that God is a God of increase. He has greater things in store for your future than you have experienced in your past. His dream for your future is so much bigger than your own. He wants to take you places that you’ve never dreamed and open up doors that you’ve never imagined. He wants to bring talent out of you that you didn’t even know you had. He wants to increase you and cause you to be a greater blessing to the people around you.

Today, get your hopes up and get excited about your future! Begin to thank Him for what He has in store. Keep standing, keep believing and keep moving forward because God has explosive blessings in store for you!

Shine.

“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, AMP)



Do the people around you see your light shining? Do they know you are a believer by your actions? Are you setting the bar in your office? Can people see your good works?

I know people who can quote half the Bible and pray two hours a day, but they have no influence or credibility because they’re sloppy in the workplace. They’re always late or wasting time. They’re not productive. They’re not efficient. No one will even listen to them.

I heard somebody say, “Your performance gives you a platform.” When you excel in what you do, that gets people’s attention. The way to gain respect, the way to gain influence is to develop your character and skills in such a way that people want what you have. They may not agree with what you believe, but when you are the best in your company, they can’t argue with that. You’ve earned their respect, not by your words, but by your spirit of excellence.

I encourage you today, don’t settle for mediocrity. You are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision today to let your light shine and bring Him glory in everything you do!

Even SUPERMAN has his KRYPTONITE.

— Ako pa kaya. Nanghihina din ako.

Di pa din ako makatulog.

Kahit parang lalagnatin ako.

 Kahit na ba ang sakit ng ulo at katawan ko. Bukod sa nirereview ko ang kaing kapatid at nagpapakahuwarang kuya ay sadyang di tanggap ng katawan ko ang matulog ng ganitong oras. Nasanay ako ng para akong graveyard shift araw-araw.

 YUnug tipong lethargic sa umaga, hyper sa gabi. Parang nocturnal. Nasanay lang siguro yung katawan ko. Parang sira na yung sleep routine ko. Yung body clock ko. Para akong call center agent.

 May singaw pa ako. Ang sakit ng bibig ko. Ugh. Lahat na masakit. Buti nalang 10am kami bukas sa school. Pero, maaga pa din ang gising ko. Psh. Naghalo-halo na lahat ng pwede kong maramdaman.

 Siguro, dahil lang sa STRESS or FATIGUE. 

 Kaunting pahinga lang ito. Nursing student naman ako e. Dapat alam ko mag-alaga ng katawan lalo na ng sarili ko. Kasi dapat kami ang mag-aalaga. Hindi kami ang inaalagaan. Superhero eh. Isa pa, pag nagkasakit kami, paano nalang ung mga maysakit na dapat namin alagaan.

 Dapat malakas kami. Nag-eendure. Pero minsan, nanghihina din kami. Nawawalan din kami ng lakas. Di naman lahat kaya namin e. Kasi yung iba grabe lang magexpect. May limitasyon din naman ang lahat.

 Lahat ng bagay ay may hangganan. Lahat ng bagay may kanya-kanyang kahinaan.

Nais kong matulog.

— Nakakatangkad daw ang pagtulog.

 Isa pa, naniniwala ako na ang pag-asa ko ay hanggang 21 years old pa. Kaya kom ito. Mahahabol ko din ang mga 6-footer kong mga kaklase. HAHAHA.

 Inggit langs. Pero talaga naman. Lamang ang matatangkad. Kahit na may advantage ang pagiging maliit kasi di kami madalas nauutusan, mas mainam yun tumangkad kahit ilang inches lang. Para naman may maipagmalaki ako sa sarili ko. HAHAHA. At hahabol talaga ako.

 Kaya natin ito. Samahan ng mahaba-habang tulog at dose-dosenang Cherifer. Maabot ko din ang mga tala. HAHAH. Isa pa ..

 Nais kong tumangkad. Para maabot ko ang puso mo. LOL

Para sa mga nanalangin. PANALO ako sa QUIZ BEE ! :DD

— Maraming salamat. Ecstatic pa rin. Shout unto God with a voice of triumph ! :)

I have a quiz bee to win tomorrow. Pray for me. — Please ?

— Please ?

Good evening.

— Busy busyhan muna.

 Ang daming activities bukas eh. HAHAH. Kwento ko mamaya. Sa ngayon, dinner time muna. Masarap ang ulam .. parang yung pakiramdam ko lang. 

 AMPALAYA. LOLS

ang PRIDE pinanlalaba, hindi pinaiiral.

 — Tomo.

The longest distance is not from North Pole to South Pole. But from the mind to the heart.

— Indeed. Sometimes, things get stuck in our minds and we can’t feel any emotion about it at all.

Detours.

We all have times when our plans don’t work out. We get delayed, interrupted, and inconvenienced. It’s easy to get frustrated and fight against everything that doesn’t go our way. But I’ve learned that every interruption is not bad. Every closed door doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. Every delay doesn’t mean you’re not where you’re supposed to be. There is something I call a divine interruption where God, on purpose, will delay us to protect us from an accident. On purpose, He will close a door because it’s not His best. Sometimes, God will allow us to be inconvenienced so we can help someone else in need. We have to be willing to press through difficulty so we can be at the right place at the right time.

The next time you’re interrupted, delayed, or inconvenienced, don’t start thinking, “This is a pain. This is getting me off schedule.” No, get a new perspective. Look for what God wants to do because it could be divine interruption or divine protection. Trust Him today because He is directing your steps.

Midnight Snack.

— Oreos for Midnight Snack. Goodnight ! :D

Yung pinakamasarap na feeling kasi kasama mo yung tunay mong mga kaibigan.

— GV kung GV ! :DD

Sighs.

 I saw a teacher breath out a deep sigh yesterday.

 As if I saw her bearing all the weight of this world. Siyempre teacher siya. A teacher is the one who is also responsible for molding someone’s future. Siyempre, kung walang hiya ang teacher, wag mo asahan na maayos din ang mag-aaral.

 Pero kadalasan nakakalimutan na natin ang teachers natin. Pag pumasa, nagdidiwang tayo, pag bumagsak, sinusumpa natin sila. Di man lang ba natin naisip na nahihirapan din sila maggrade sa atin ? Or namomroblema din sila kung paano nila mapapadali ang lesson. O di kaya naman nag-iisip kung paano mababago yung mga nakagawian natin na di magandang mindset. Or pilit pinapaganda sa mata natin ang lesson na ayaw naman natin intindihin.

 Minsan isipin naman natin hindi lang tayo ang nahihirapan. Oo, may mga teachers na easy-easy lang. So, ieemphasize mo nalang ang teachers na easy-easy dahil sa teacher na yun ? O may terror na teacher ? Hindi kaya dahil gusto ka niya matututo talaga ? Experience is the best teacher. Kung wala silang pakielam sa atin, sasabihin na nila na bibigyan na nila tayo ng perfect o failing grade sa simula pa lang.

 Minsan selfish lang tayo. Nawa’y marealize natin na tao lang din ang teachers natin and they also commit mistakes. It’s better to learn than to just be educated. 

 Pag nagbuntong hininga ang isang tao lalo na’t malalim ay hindi basta basta. Kumbaga, kahit sa simpleng hangin na naibuga niya, nailabas niya lahat ng bigat o problema na dinadala niya.

 Saludo ako sa inyo ! :)

In the Morning

“In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait in expectation”
(Psalm 5:3, NIV).

In the Bible, David was called a man after God’s own heart. He knew God and saw incredible miracles throughout his life. But notice in this verse what David did. He set the tone for His whole day by spending time with the Lord every morning. It didn’t matter what was going on his life, David had his priorities set. Even though he was mistreated by his family, manipulated, made fun of, hunted down by King Saul, and even made some major mistakes on his own, David realized that each morning held the promise of new hope.

Just like David, if you’ll make spending time with God a priority in your life, you will see Him move mightily on your behalf. Make it a habit to seek Him first every single day. No matter what is happening, seek Him in the morning. Let Him set the tone for your day and set you on the course for victory in every area of your life!

As parents.

“As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear Him. He knows us inside and out…” (Psalm 103:13–14)


I always find it interesting to see how a parent views their new baby. It doesn’t matter what that baby looks like; it doesn’t matter if their head is still coned, if their nose is still squashed, if they cry or makes a mess, that baby is the apple of its parent’s eyes. They see that child as the most beautiful, perfect creation. They are just as proud and excited as they can be.

Parents see their own children differently than other people do. As believers in Jesus, it’s the same way with our Heavenly Father. You are the apple of His eye. No matter what, He sees you as His most perfect creation. He is proud of you. You are the joy of His heart. Sure, you may make some mistakes; you may fall; you may make a mess, but He is right there ready to pick you up, clean you off and calm your soul. In His eyes, you are an overcomer; you are victorious; you are strong. In His eyes, you are pure and whole. Today, trust in His love, trust in His goodness, and trust that you can find safety and rest in His eyes.

Encouragements II.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him”
(1 Corinthians 2:9, NKJV)

This verse is really an encouragement for all of us to raise our level of expectancy! It’s like God is saying to us, “You think you’re blessed? You haven’t seen anything yet!” And I’m sure God has been good to you, but He also has things for your future that, if He told you right now, would boggle your mind. You wouldn’t even believe it.

Today, get ready for increase. Get prepared for promotion. Keep believing, keep obeying His Word and keep your heart and mind open to what He has for you because you haven’t seen anything yet!

Encouragements.

Masarap pala sa feeling yung may ineencourage ka.

Ako: Kamusta ?!

Dicky: Okay lang. 

Ako: Miss ka na namin. Miss na ni Lord ang pagtugtog mo. Pwede naman magpaghinga e. Wag lang magsasawa, k ?

Dicky: hehehe.

*isang long-time-no-see na kaibigan. Nung nakachat ay inencourage ko lang.

Alam mo yun, kahit malayo ka, at least alam nilang nandyan ka para sa kanila.Yun isang advice mo naman ay makakatulong talaga e. Di naman kailangan ng maging para kang pari o pastor sa advice mo. Yung simpleng payong kaibigan lang. Yung mga salita na hindi naman kailangan talaga mahaba. Basta nauunawaan at naiintindihan.

Jamille: Napapagod din ako, okay ? Goodnight.

Ako: Pero magpahinga ka lang, wag kang tumigil, ni magsawa. Goodnight. :)

*isang random GM na nireplyan ko.

Yung mga salitang galing sa puso at tagos sa puso. Yung mga salitang hindi naman kailangan na pinag-iisipan kasi puso ang pinaiiral. Yung alam mong makakabuti sa kanya. Yung tipong alam mong mabubuhayan siya ng pag-asa. At alam niya na hindi siya nag-iisa. Kasi nga may kaibigan siya, may nagpapaalala sa kanya. May kasama siya at hindi siya lang. Yung mararamdaman niya yung espirito ng pagiging magkaibigan niyo.

At mararamdaman niyo nalan na ang laking tulong pala nun na ginawa niyo sa kanya. Malay mo, magpapakamatay na sana siya, kaso nasabihan niyo lang ng sweet words, tapos guminhawa na yung pakiramdam. See, all it takes are words of care and concern. Kasi minsan, yun yung kulang sa lahat ng natatanggap natin. Minsan kasi we want to feel special & yun yung hinahanap natin.

Ako: Ay, may verse ako sa iyo ! Seryoso.

Dicky: Namiss ko yan. Promise. 

Ako: Ayaw mo kasing maniwala sa akin minsan. Tuloy-tuloy lang, okay ?! My prayers are with you. 

Jamille: Thanks Llan sa magandang paalala mo nun nkaraang gabi. Tama ka. :)

Ako: Eh di man kita mabigyan ng enervon, at least mapalakas kita through encouragement.

Jamille: HAHA, gusto kita dun. Thanks tlaga Llan. Wala na ako ma’say. Nasabi mo na lahat.

 Yan yung mga reply nila. O diba, positive outcome naman lahat e. Negative man ang response nila, may epekto pa rin. Tatanim parin nila yun at maalala nila. And that makes a difference. And that makes a big change to everything that they’re thinking and feeling.

 Sabi ko nga, di man natin sila mapalakas dahil di natin sila mabigyan ng enervon, mas mapapalakas natin sila through our encouragement.

 Ang meaning kasi ng encouragement sa akin (huhugutin ko lang yung sinabi ni Jamille about sa mga sinabi ko) SIMPLE pero may IMPACT. :)

To be somebody.

"The LORD gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” “O Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” The LORD replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!” (Jeremiah 1:4-8)
