A Piece of Heaven : Micamics' perspective

2nd of May year 2016, around 6AM,  I packed my bag and together with my daughter we decided to visit Taal Volcano- the second most active volcano in the Philippines through which had shown signs of unrest last 1991 and last volcanic eruption was documented last 1977. At first, I just would like to explore something new on my birthday but the Lord has revealed a lot more to me on this day more than I could ever imagine. Here are my take ways on this trip: 1. The higher you wanna go in life, it is Life's requirement for you to go through the lowest point and take the roughest and rockiest road before you reach the top . I planned the said trip 3-4 days before and knew all along that we were supposed to do trekking up to the crater of Taal, Just that.. I didn't know it was a 4KM trekking (total of 8KM back and forth) until we are right in the middle of it. I tried walking my way up the track but the heat (from the direct sunlight and Sulfur emitted from the actual Volcano) , ...

Who are Ch ristians? What are they made of? The most common question asked when we mention the word- Christian.  As a believer of Christ, I say a Christian is someone who knows the word of Christ through reading the bible and lives through it by following it intentionally and unintentionally. Intentionally following Jesus is easy most especially when the path we are going through is easy, abundant and overflowing with Blessings. While unintentionally following Christ happens when Christians makes wrong choices in life (because of human failures) but through the grace of God He leads us right back on track, back to Him.  The term "Blessed" is usually experienced or is perceived by the people who are following Jesus. But the term itself  is subjective to the level of relationship we established with the Lord. I used to believe that the term "Blessing" is something that is tangible and beautiful. I look up to Christian Pastors, Motivational Speakers, Family, Fri...

Bucket list is a norm for blogger most especially in this time of year. To set myself apart, I do not want to jot down a list of achievements I had for the present year, neither will I write down a list of things I would like to do the upcoming year. To dream for worldly things is humane, but I if there is one thing I've learned this year that is to enhance my Spiritual senses rather than the Physical or Humane one. Yes! I've grown much deeper with the Lord this year than the past years since I accepted Him as my personal Lord and Savior last 2003. Although I still am a work in progress, and there are a lot of ups and down during my walk with HIM. I am proud to say that I've been walking with him in all ways my humane self can achieve. And when the time comes that my humane self could not go along any further, all  I need to do is to kneel down in prayer and He is always ready to listen. To sum it all up, my 2015 consists of  PAIN, JOY, LESSONS, TRANQUILITY, TRIALS, and...

Since my dad passed away last March 2007, I always commemorate his love, his smile, his uplifted spirit, his jolly and friendly persona which is a huge part of who I am today. Moving on with a death of a loved one is not easy. Year after year, I slowly let go a piece of him but every time All Soul's day is celebrated each year, I draw back and begin to embrace all the memories that were once with me. This year, I welcomed All soul's day at 2 o'clock in the morning crying. After a few minutes of mourning, a comforting song from Hill song touched my heart called "Hosanna" These Lyrics put warmth in my heart early this morning: "Heal my heart and make it clean. Open up my eyes to the things unseen. Show me how to love like You have loved me. Break my heart for what breaks Yours. Everything I am for the Kingdom's cause. As I go from nothing to eternity."   The song reminded me that a death of our loved ones served two greater purpose : 1. (For t...

Today, the Lord touched my heart while professing that my life and love should evolve in Him and in Him only. Eventually, through His grace, His life and His love would mirror for every people surrounded us to see and feel. Everything else is just temporary and is nothing compared to the love He has given us. He died on the cross just to save all mankind. What else can He not do for us? We should put God in everything we do and let His power overflow in things that we cannot accomplish ourselves. I thank the Lord today by reminding me that in the middle of circumstances that are out of hand, there is always someone bigger than me willing to take control, all I need to do is to Ask, Kneel and Surrender. "From my heart to the heavens... Jesus be the center It's all about You, yes It's all about You"

Bless the Lord O my Soul, O my soul. Worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul. I'll worship Your Holy name By: Matt Redman Everyday, there would always be a reason to simply Praise God and thank Him for everything He has done for me.. Here are a few of these reasons out of the ten thousand: Having a wonderful family who would love you unconditionally and who would keep you standing at your feet amidst the trials. These people - giving you the very reason to dedicate the success you have gone through. He Listens to my heart's desires and He is faithful in delivering His promises as long as I remain true to His word. Yes! He has been amazingly Faithful to His promises. Two years in the making and left me in awe even up till this very moment. He makes His presence known in all aspects. He never fails to make me and gabby feel His love. He taught us how to worship and makes us love Him more. Even though I make mistakes, He never fails to draw ...

It is true when they say: When you get older, your choices in life become simpler . Today, I chose to celebrate a milestone in a simplest way possible. Today marked my 30th year of existence instead of asking for something material and celebrate it as others celebrate a milestone (i.e, 18th birthday, 30th, 40th or 50th...) I felt glad and thanked God for allowing me to celebrate this day with my family (complete and healthy)  As I prayed to the Lord at the start of my special day, He talked to me through the Holy spirit that the simplest people are the ones that are the happiest. And Religion doesn't really divide people of different faith.   Yes, I sought solidarity in a simple but elegant Church nearby named Sto. Nino at Maligaya Park Subdivision. I was expecting a quiet time with the Lord since I lost it for the past few months. To my surprise, I was caught in the middle of a gathering inside this Church and without even knowing who these people ar...
