All Soul's day : a gathering for the dead or for the living?

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

I Profess

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"

Thirty and Beyond

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 are and what they are

A Mother's Love Affair

A Mother's love is the second greatest love ever created, second to God's love . When you are deeply in love with your child all of you suddenly becomes all of your child's until there was nothing left that you can call your own. You and your child has become one in spirit and you are lifeless without the other part.  Just the thought of loosing her makes your heart pounds faster and suddenly finds yourself thrilled and cold, you find yourself just snapped out of a bad dream because she is just standing there staring at you after a few seconds of blank stare. You get to have a lot of arguments and most of the time she doesn't agree with what you have to say and neither do you. But that's OK, it doesn't matter who won the argument anyway. At the end of the day, you talk things out and cry until everything is back to normal.  She becomes your best girl friend as you strive to be part of every inch of her everyday life. She has the power to make you smile afte

7 years and counting.....

"Mama, may sakit ka ba? Gusto mo subuan kita sa bowl?" It took me seven years to realize how good it is to eventually feel this Genuine kind of love. A simple but heart-felt question from my daughter that made all the insecurities, sadness, exhaustion--  all go away. I can never ask for any kind of love but my daughter's. I thank God for Gabby!

Encounter: September 15, 2014

I woke up at around pass 12 in the morning today as the cold breeze comes through the window, thanks to typhoon " Luis " Who caused this type of weather now. I've been suffering through this Cold-Intolerance since I was younger,just so you know. So I stood up and grab a snack since I felt something in my tummy. I searched through the different cable channels and toggled between the Basketball TV channel and ANC. I was interested in FIBA Championship but I was also concerned about the weather news because of the typhoon that approached the country today. In short, I chose ANC and read through the different side news while looking for some announcements. Without my knowledge, there is a video being played at the center part of the screen while I was busy reading through the side announcements. It was BO Sanchez, preaching. I have known Bo Sanchez through friends in social media. I've read a lot of good things about him but never really seen or heard him preach the wor
