Read Psalm 121:1-8 When television coverage of the Winter Olympics brought visions of twirling, whirling ice skaters into our home, we had two diminutive skaters in our living room.  Spin after spin catapulted them into tangled heaps of arms and legs on the floor.  Finally, my five-year-old asked in exasperation, "Mommy, how do they spin so fast?"  I tried to explain a technique learned many years ago when I was the ballerina-to-be the technique of spotting.   Start by focusing your sight on a fixed spot and with each rapid turn of the head, return your gaze to the same place .  No dramatic improvement resulted from my little ballerina's initial efforts as she began trying this technique.   Spotting does not come naturally at any age .  She and her sister continued to look like they were playing a musical game of Twister, ending in the same heap on the floor.  But slowly, ever so slowly, spotting took effect.  Her turns were more controll...

Dear Lord,  Don't let me become frantic when I hear the statistics. The computer doesn't know me - doesn't know how much I laugh and cry, how well I'm loved, who my friends are, or how I'm prayed for.  It certainly doesn't know that You have a timetable for my life and Your timing is perfect. Amen. *  surely this 2012 summer time for me is the most productive and challenging time i've had.. got the hectic schedule yet manageable..by the grace of God, He keeps on sustaining me and encouraging me to finish this race i have..

credits Matthew 14:31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.  “You of little faith,”  he said, “why did you doubt?” I have an issue of being a worrier. I worry a lot. I think a lot.  think+worry=me and I know that's not what God wants me to be.   So why worry if I have a big GOD? I have prepared myself yesterday to get my grades in school. Standing in a verrrrrrrrry looooong line, patiently I waited before I could head on to the person in-charge with all the manual processing of releasing the grades. Suddenly, I felt something that I don't want to feel in that situation - butterflies in my heart! So I stopped and prayed, "Lord, please let me see a passing grade." And there my grades are! PRAISE THE LORD! I passed all the subjects! What a relief! THANK YOU LORD! Next step:  Check the Schedule for Summer Classes. I went to the enrollment area and saw thicker lines of students.  Schedules for the subjects were projected. ...

credits I am missing out a lot of things in mind to share in my blog. I am almost missing out to visit my blog even if it's my default page in my computer. Oh, I say, I've been tooooooooooooo busy :( February: It was a month of challenge for me.  It's the month when I can totally feel the life of a student and a teacher. It was a bit hard.  Doing exam papers today for my students' exam next week, then review for tomorrow's exam or prepare for the report, etc.  It was totally exhausting.  BUT, I thank my God because He never fails to give me strength and push me to keep going and indeed, God enabled me! March: It was still a month of challenge for me. FINALS FINALS FINALS. Aside from studying and preparing things for final paper works, March was also a time for dancing, rehearsals, preparations for the graduation/sem-ender. It was also a time of success and victory for the Lord. March 24 marked the 17th Recognition/Graduation Exercises of the school I...

God is our loving Father , and the world we live in is our Father's world.  He is in control , but He doesn't necessarily arrange things to keep us comfortable or to make life easier.  Sometimes He permits just the opposite to occur, and we find ourselves nervous and upset and looking for somebody to blame instead of somebody to love.  We start groaning instead of growing, and another opportunity is lost for glorifying the Father. -Warren W. Wiersbe  (Bless You: Receiving and Sharing the Blessings of the Lord)

Humbling myself down at the cross and asking for God’s forgiveness were the things I remember 4 years ago. It was the time that I surrendered my crooked and hopeless life to the Lord. Year 2007 wasn't the ideal year for me - it was a year of rebellion until such time that I finally gave up and said "What have I done, Lord?" Accepting JESUS CHRIST as my personal Lord and Savior was the best decision I made in my 21 years of existence. I have been the worst person and did worst actions but the GRACE of God was upon me and He extended His loving arms to lift me up from my old, hopeless and sinful life. In my 4 years of being a Christian didn’t guarantee me to live a sinless and perfect life. Giving up all the things that were not pleasing to the Lord’s eyes was not a one-day mission. It's a step by step  process as I continually walk with the Lord. “That why we are CHRISTIAN – without CHRIST, I am IAN, I Am Nothing” Indeed, my life here on earth is nothing without ...

Been away in blogging... Well, what's with your 2012? Basically, I've been away on some things that I usually do, that I really love doing! and one of those is READING BOOKS! Well, 3 things I want have for this month: Book shelf, Study Table and a Scanner~ (oh please, can someone who has a good heart grant my "need" -kidding). I need to shell out some money for it since I'll be the one to use them. And speaking of reading books, recently, I started reading the book of Grace Gaston-Dousel's True Love Weds.  A short background.  I'm excited with BOOK SALES. I really don't care standing or spending time browsing the shelf to look for books which of course, I would like to read and learn from. I bought True Love Weds 2 years ago, but has no plan of reading it right away since it's about 'wedding' or 'marriage'.  But to my surprise, I am actually reading it already and page after page, I'm learning and  feeling blessed about the a...
