Alam mo yung feeling na kinakausap ka na ng kwarto mo dahil naiipon na yung mga alikabok at dumi dito pero you keep on ignoring it? That was me a couple of days ago. As humans eh we tend to be lazy sometimes. May mga bagay tayong mas pinaprioritize and cleaning for me is honestly not one of my highest priorities. There's a joke by my mom which she says often kapag nakikita na niya yung mga agiw sa ceiling ng room ko: "Okay yan, para sa Halloween eh hindi na kailangan magdecorate pa sa room mo." 😅 I really feel ashamed and condemned sa sarili ko for sharing these but because I've accepted Jesus in my life; Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus - Romans 8:1 (NIV) at hindi naman dito nagtatapos yung story kaya stick around ka lang... I was looking for an old notebook of mine yesterday at parang hinalughog ko na yung buong kwarto at hindi ko padin ito makita hanggang sa naalala ko na meron pa pala akong mga containers sa ilalim ng aking kama. I finally found it pero napansin ko na sa paghahanap kong ito eh I've made a mess at kailangan ko na talagang magligpit at siyempre maganda nadin kung sasamahan ng paglilinis ng alikabok. I've set my intentions right at nagpray ako kay Lord na this was my way of glorifying Him today. I know I've put it aside a lot of times, yung paglilinis and for some reason the Holy Spirit spoke to me na kahit ano pa mang gulo ang dumating sa buhay mo, Si Lord lang talaga ang makakasama mo sa pag-aayos nito. One of the best ways for me to not think of the time I spend sa paglilinis is makinig ng music. Have you tried listening to worship songs lalo na ng Victory Worship or Every Nation Music? Naku kung hindi pa eh you'd be amaze kung gaano ito ka-effective. And yes I've also listened before sa K-pop, OPM, or mga Heavy Metal songs pero mas prefer ko na ngayon yung mga sumisigaw in the name of Jesus! Part One pa lang iyan ng paglilinis ko. Kung pwede lang ibenta ang mga alikabok eh talaga namang sisipagin ang lahat ng tao maglinis ng kanilang mga bahay o kwarto kaso hindi eh. Pero malay natin in the future ano? Let's keep that hope alive hahaha! 'Di ba ang sarap-sarap matulog kapag malinis ang kwarto, maayos ang kama, at mabango ang paligid? Ang naging lesson sa akin dito was that we can glorify God in a lot of ways. Kahit sa simpleng paglilinis lang basta't para kay Lord mo ito ginagawa eh it becomes a significant task rather than a minuscule one. Whatever work it may be basta't iooffer mo ito kay Lord would glorify Him. I know our lives can be very busy at minsan wala talagang time para maglinis. Kaya naman if you're living in Parañaque, Las Piñas, and Alabang, you are blessed!

Nuong una ko ngang naencounter itong word na ito ay nabighani kaagad ako. Akala ko related sa music kasi may sing hahaha! ♫ According sa best pal kong si Google; ang musing daw ay isang period of reflection or thought. Synonyms nito ay meditation, thinking, contemplation, at reflection just to name a few. Now you know at para maalala ko din ulit. Kuya Bebot on the left side. Ako yung may makintab na ulo. This is our Victory Group. Photo Credit to Xaviz De Guzman. Sino ba si Kuya Bebot? I met Kuya Bebot by chance sa Victory Sucat. I was sitting sa mga upuan near our church and merong nag-alok sa akin ng coffee. I thanked him sa offer niya kaso sabi ko nagpapalpitate kasi ako kapag nagcocoffee kaya puro water lang ako. (And matcha green tea. Kaya sa mga gusto manglibre sa akin, now you know. 😉) Mabilis kaming nagkaroon ng connection at nabanggit nga niya na parang gusto pa niya umattend ng isa pang service; yung 11 am dahil medyo nakukulangan pa siya sa Word ni God. Sabi ko na 'since wala siyang kasama nuon eh sumama na lang siya sa amin.' Then from there sinama nadin namin siya sa aming Victory Group meeting para mas mapag-usapan yung topic from that day's preaching. His story is a fascinating one. Nagbakasyon siya dito sa Parañaque dahil sa reunion ng kanilang family at taga Zamboanga City talaga siya. Nastranded yung sasakyan niyang barko nuong Sunday, June 11 at within two weeks pa ang reschedule ng paglalayag niya. Pupunta na sana siya sa isang simbahan sa Pasay ngunit kulang ang kanyang pamasahe at parang may naglead sa kanya na pumunta ulit dito sa Victory Parañaque. Medyo lost siya and I am happy to be an instrument of God para ibalik siya sa path na pinlano ni God para sa kanya. I can see na talagang nainspire siya sa mga napag-usapan that day at nagpasalamat siya sa buong group sa pagtanggap sa kanya dito at talagang si Lord ang ginoglorify namin. Natapos ang araw at nagkapalitan kami ng number ni Kuya Bebot para kung one day daw eh makapunta ako sa Zamboanga City "God willing" eh masabihan ko siya para i-welcome ako. I mean, duon pa lang sa sinabi niya eh natouch na ako. Talagang kapag gumawa ka ng mabait sa kapwa without expecting something in return eh may maganda ding mangyayari sa iyo. Galatians 6:9 (ESV) - And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Naging parang magtextmates kami ni Kuya Bebot. Naalala ko nung grade school o high school ako eh uso yung pasahan ng quotes. For two days eh walang patid siya sa pagmemessage sa akin, morning and evening; kaya naman nainspire ako gawan ng blog si Mr. Redelio Leyson dahil ang gaganda ng mga sinesend niya and I know a lot of you could benefit from it din. With his permission, ito ang isa sa mga iyon: Background photo credit to : Foxy Folksy (link here) Close to being senior na si Kuya Bebot kaya hindi na niya maipopost sa Facebook ang mga quotes na ganito maging sa Instagram din. He is gifted sa pagsusulat/text kaya naman through the Holy Spirit's grace sa akin, inutusan Niya akong ispread ang Mabuting Balita in this digital age kung saan mas tutok pa tayo sa mga cellphone at computer natin kesa sa Bible. #realtalk We pray na sana gumanda na ang panahon sa mga susunod na araw para matuloy na ang iyong pag-uwi sa Zamboanga City upang maishare mo nadin ang baon na Word ni God na natutunan mo dito sa Parañaque.

I was watching the Game 4 of the NBA Finals kanina and a commercial from a known car company came out and it was their ad for their new car model. In this era of digital marketing, kailangan mapukaw agad ng isang company ang attention ng isang mamimili. The videos/pictures are well edited, pinagkagastusan, at yung tipong mapapabili ka kaagad kasi they are portraying that you lack something and they have the perfect remedy for this emptiness that you are feeling. What if I tell you na may binebenta din ako? Are you ready to listen? **Member ako ng isang big-time na multi-level marketing at yung upline ko ay bigatin!! Gusto mo pa ng details? **Mas sikat pa siya sa mga artista o successful business owners na kilala mo at hawak lang naman Niya ang mundo at ang buong kalawakan sa Kanyang mga palad. [1][2][3] Interesado ka na ba? PM me for more details hahaha! 😂😂😂 Pwera biro, kung hindi mo pa nagets, eh si God yung tinutukoy ko. Kumbaga parang naging ahente ako ni Lord dahil sobrang convinced ako sa mga Promises niya. Halimbawa kasi meron kang isang produkto na binebenta; hindi ba dapat in the first place eh convinced ka sa bagay na ito? You can only sell it when you yourself have experienced what this great product of yours does. At ganun din ako kay Lord! He is greater than our highs and lows [4] and I've experienced it first hand yung life na wala siya sa buhay ko compared sa life na ginoglorify ko Siya. Related blog: Never take God out of the Equation (here) I mean sa sobrang convinced ko, it is selfish of me kung hindi ko ito isshare sa iba. I know not everyone will agree with me but through faith in action, I know hindi man ngayon yung time na matouch ka but I believe someday that seed will grow tulad ng nangyari sa akin. Check out mo din itong isang ahente namin though I haven't met him yet pero sabi ko nga sa'yo eh big-time itong networking namin. 😊 11-year old William Maillis - Credits to Juice Malaysia and Hamza Iqbal for uploading in (YouTube) So it takes more faith pa nga daw para sabihin ng isang tao na walang God kesa maniwala na meron. Yun lang naman ang only rational explanation kung bakit hindi sila naniniwala sa kanya. But for those who believe in Him, huwag niyo namang ismolin ang kakayanan ni Lord. Hindi siya yung god na nalalagay lang sa bulsa at tinatawag lang kapag may kailangan tayo. Hindi siya isang genie hahaha! What He wants is a father-son/daughter relationship. Acknowledge him in everything that we do. [5] At siyempre i-magnify mo Siya sa pamamagitan ng pagpapasalamat; malaki man o maliit ang nangyari sa ating buhay. It takes no amount of money to recieve Him pero kaya niyang higitan ang lahat ng mga precious possessions natin. All it takes is a decision and faith that He rose from the dead and has conquered all our sins. He did it because of his LOVE for us that is why He wants you to be saved. _ Are you inspired by this story?

Until then, Gelo Mellows First time kong naencounter yung phrase na The One That Got Away sa isang song ni Katy Perry with the same title. Nauso din yung TOTGA dahil sa hilig nating mga Pinoy magshortcut ng mga salita tapos meron naging teleserye dito using the same acronym. Chorus: In another life, I would be your girl We keep all our promises, be us against the world In another life, I would make you stay So I don't have to say you were the one that got away The one that got away Ang senti lang eh noh? Pero ganun talaga kapag ang message ng song eh malungkot; malulungkot ka din. That's why worship songs are amazing dahil namamagnify mo si Lord at hindi yung mga problems mo. I had a couple of experiences sa The One That Got Away. I would not detail them in full dahil baka umabot ng 3 days ang pagbabasa ninyo pero ang bottom line was that: masakit talaga. "Time heals everything and lifting those pain kay God will help you through it." Why do we have to suffer from these kinds of challenges in life? There are many reasons as to why God allows us to suffer pero one of the lessons I remembered sa isang preaching was that struggles in life happen dahil God wants us to seek more of Him. Minsan kasi nakakalimot na tayong magpasalamat when we have all the blessings in the world. God is a jealous God at tulad ng isang magulang, gusto nilang pinangangalagaan at pinasasalamatan ang mga bagay o gamit na binili at pinaghirapan nila para sa atin. Isa sa mga favorite stories ko sa Bible ay yung story ni Job. Si Job ay isang tapat na servant ni God. He had everything from a powerful position to vast riches. One day, God boasted how great of a servant si Job sa kanyang council. Then Satan challenged God and said "kaya ka lang naman winoworship ni Job dahil binibiyayaan mo siya". Satan asked permission to destroy the life of Job to test if he would still be faithful to the Lord when everything is taken away; at pinahintulutan naman ito ni God but with one condition, and that was to spare his life. So Satan unleashed the most unthinkable punishment to Job kung saan namatay ang mga anak niya, nawala ang mga kayamanan at ari-arian niya, at nagkaroon siya ng mga sakit sa balat. Through it all, Job still worshiped the Lord pero her wife and good friends thought the other way around 'Maybe Job did something bad to deserve these punishments' pero he defended his innocence. Dumating din sa point na nagduda siya kay God kaya sa inis niya, vinoice out niya yung mga hinanaing niya kay Lord. God listened and gave him a vision kung saan pinakita ni Lord yung wonders hindi lang ng mundo kundi pati nadin ng buong kalawakan. How every small details of its working eh alam Niya. Para bang pinarating ni Lord na gamunggo (napakaliit) lang ng problema ni Job for God's amazing glory para hindi Niya ito masolusyunan. Hindi man tuluyang nahanap ni Job ang sagot kung bakit siya pinarusahan ng ganun kagrabe, naintindihan naman niya ng lubusan kung paano nag-ooperate si God sa buhay natin. Job 42:5 - My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Lalo siyang naging faithful kay Lord at dumoble pa ang balik ng blessings na natanggap niya. As you can see, yung TOTGA o The One That Got Away ay hindi nadin naman masama o nakakahinayang lalo na kung alam nating God only wants what is best for us [1]. Ang dapat nating gawin in this time of waiting is to keep on praying and seek natin si Lord everyday. Hindi lang naman sa tao nag-aapply yung TOTGA, kundi pati nadin sa mga yaman o ari-arian natin, trabaho, kalusugan, at marami pang iba. Walk by faith and not by sight [2] and in time itong bagong TOTGA na ito ay yung The One That God Assures na. _ Are you inspired by this story?
