A Piece of Heaven : Micamics' perspective

I had a glimpse of this true story movie on HBO one saturday and I got so curious that I decided to download a copy of the full movie in torrent. When given the chance to take a break and relax the next weekend, I kept the movie rolling. In synopsis, Soul Surfer is a movie about a girl who lives to surf and serve God. Yup, she is a proud Christian. The story revolves in Bethany Hamilton's journey with the Lord before and after she was attacked by a shark one surfy day. She is a known teenage in Hawaii who is in the peak of her blooming career as a surfer. Bethany and her family's struggle after she lost one of her arms during the shark attack was high lighted in this story.  I was amazed how a Family of Christ-lovers worked together in the movie to surpass a life changing trial of their lives. What moves me the most? When the climax of the story was shown. When she (bethany) and her Church mates went out on an outreach program in Thailand to help out the tsunami victims. I fe

"we wont stop till the whole world knows.... we wont stop till the whole world knows.... we wont stop till the whole world knows that you're a great God! "  One of the lines that pinched my heart from earlier's praise and worship-- we wont stop till the whole world knows . Being a Christian is one of those wonderful opportunities, not everybody else has given the chance to celebrate. Christ lives in each and every one's hearts and can only manifest because of God's grace. He will start working from the time we allow Him to use us for His greater purpose and He wont stop till He achieves His purpose in our lives. He had shown that He is a persistent God back in the old testament times.  And a God of many wonderful things as seen in the new testament.  Today, God continues to reveal Himself in me and gab's life and is continuously working on us in order to use us for His glory. He is indeed a limitless God with so many wonderful things in place for th

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. (NIV) Everyday, has always been a bitter- sweet experience since the day I offered one aspect of my life to the Lord. He's been with me and had shown faithfulness to His promise at all times. I admit, it wasn't a perfect walk at all, but He never fails to amaze me in times  I couldn't cling to anybody else but Him. His provisions in my life are like the  miracles we read in the bible during the old testament days, only this time its performed in a modern, non- historic way.  Slowly He teaches life's lessons and let me go on in life as He held me by my hand, never totally letting me go. There were times I went astray, still He holds my hands slightly sliding it away from mine then drawing me near when I needed to. I run out of words to describe this feeling when all I can say is THANK YOU. Thank you for this w

Woke up at around 3 o'clock in the morning, and for whatever reason I started browsing for songs in you tube which was defaulted to a praise and worship sung by Hill song.  Next thing I knew, I was crying over this song by The Katinas titled: Thank you . The words just started filling me up until I burst into tears and ended up praising Him for all the blessings I had this 2013. Only a few days has passed since the year started, but then again, feels like years! Because  I knew in my heart, It'll take years ( maybe less than a year ) to gain all the things I have now.  Surely, when a window closes another door opens up. I will whole-heartedly testify to that truth! And I cant stop thanking HIM for opening up a new door to let someone in me and gab's  life.  Setting up a career goal is not necessary for me right now, because of a new opportunity that opened up for me in an unexpected manner. Thank you Lord for Business!  John 4:21-24 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believ

Today, I found myself engulfed at shopping. But this time its much more different than the last time I did stroll around the mall. My frailty cannot be hidden the moment I pass by these stores for shoes and nice tops. And believe it or not, I don't get tired of going back on these stores just to check out the apple of my eye (whatever that is.. ) My strolling ended the moment i felt cramps at my feet and my eyelids started dropping because of too much sleepiness. Then I found myself going home with a bag full of stuff from National bookstore. Yep! Notebooks, pad paper, another set of pencils, bond paper and art papers for gab! Only then have I realized how much my life had turned around now that my little gab is growing. I came home with a glad heart knowing how much I've changed in this matter. I thank God for having gab in my life! 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you

Here I am, writing a blog about change at 5 o'clock in the morning. I've been prepping myself up for this very moment I can write about my 2012, and talk about CHANGE and how much everybody loves the word. There are a lot of things that happened the past year that made me who I am today, and for a change, I decided not to give an overview about it. If someone asks me -- "looking back, what are the things you thought you might do better in the past?" I will answer -- "Given the chance to go back, I will do ALL of it again, the same way I did it..." I'm not saying that I've done things perfect, in fact it was not at all. But these imperfections, made me a better person today and they moved me. So the next time I almost fall for the same mistake, I know exactly the path it will turn about. That's when The Unchangeable and the Unworkable takes HIS place. This 2013, I would like to uphold to this bible verse:   Numbers 23:19 (NIV) God is not a ma

When I was younger, Christmas for me is the time I get to spend time with my loving  family, beloved cousins and relatives I rarely see within a year. Growing up, I continue to live up to that yearly Christmas ritual without expecting any material things from them. I'm not being a hypocrite when I say "I'm not expecting anything material from them " but its the last thing that comes up in my mind. The First, is the wonderful feeling of being with my cousins and spend time with them which only happens on a limited occasion-- one of which is CHRISTMAS day. Now that I grew older I see Christmas in a different light. Somehow, the innate child in me was unraveled  as I think of the things that would make my gab happy. My happiness is somehow intertwined with my child's as if it is my own. Having gab in my life if the most wonderful gift CHRIST has ever given me. And I will forever be grateful as I continue to see the upcoming Christmas the way a child sees it.
