As I've said in my last post,I love working for God!:) And I also said here, that God reminded me that I should be excellent in my academics to honor my parents and that I am a responsible person,I just need to focus. :) In line with those two things,we had our La Salle CLUSTER After-Midterm Party last July 30,2011 in The Grand Towers,Manila. This is where God told me that I am very responsible, and I should be responsible too when it comes to school!:) God used that event to stretch my faith, heart and patience. Weeks before this event, I've been praying to God to show me and fill me with His love again. On that day,He made me feel so loved!He used the people around me to overflow me with His love.I feel so blessed, and He reminded me that I am not alone. I just love how these people(Achi Pau,Achi Nic,Ahya Andrew,Tim,Kuya Jay,Kara,Kriscel,Mal,Ahya Hanes,Franky,and all my Victory family)are always there,willing to help and cheer me up!They always encourage me and all!:) Oh!One thing I love when working for God is that IT'S NOT STRESSFUL,even though there are so many problems,you just know that everything will be okay!:) I will really treasure that event in my heart. So many things happened before that day and during that day, but in the end IT IS ALL FOR HIS GLORY. :)

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Ephesians 2:10
"11 It was he who gave some to be apostles,some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up."
Ephesians 4:11-12
"9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
10 if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
If you'd ask me why am I a Christian, well, it's because God showed me and He made me feel that He is real, He is worthy and there's really something more than this world/life. If I will just have faith and believe in Him wholeheartedly, then, I should not worry about anything. Being a believer and a follower of Christ is not all about being Holy or being too serious or a loser or being KJ(kill joy) or that "ALIVE ALIVE" thing. Being a Christian and being with God is the best gift!Sometimes, we think that knowing that God sacrificed His One and Only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us is already enough. But for the past months, I've learned so many things and I must say that "No,it's not enough." The important thing is for us to have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. We still have so many things to learn about God and His works, if we seek Him more and soak on His Word & presence, we will get surprised and say "I thought I already knew God.I want to fall deeper in love with Him!I want to learn more!" and it will take time for you to learn more about Him and be deeper in love with Him. It will take time,patience,perseverance and faith!But don't give up,everyday you will learn something!Just be aware of what He's telling you and focus on Him!:) If we seek Him more, we become more aware of His presence, we start to see the things that we don't see before. We feel His love even more and we enjoy our life more! Working for God is really NOT A BORING JOB,IT'S NOT USELESS!IT'S THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!:) I love working for God :) But being a follower,believer and servant of Christ is not always being so happy and all,but it's about finding joy even if you're having a tough situation. Because you know that God is there in your heart, fixing things for you, He is ahead of you and He is fighting the battle for you if you're already tired. That's what I really love about God. HE WOULD NEVER EVER LEAVE YOU IN THE BATTLE. :)
"He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
1 John 4:4
"1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith."
1 John 5:1-4
"1 Therefore,since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in sufferings, because we know that sufferings produces perseverance."
Romans 5:1-3
"15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear,but you received the Spirit of sonship. 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
Romans 8:15-17
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
I only have 3 weeks left for the 1st term of my 3rd year in college, and in that 3 weeks everything's so hectic. I have so many projects to do. I must admit that for the past weeks,I've been slacking off. I got so distracted with all these movies and TV series that I wanna watch.Haha!But 2 weeks ago,God reminded me that I should be excellent in academics to honor my parents. He told me that I can do it and I am a very responsible person. I JUST HAVE TO FOCUS. So now, even though these remaining 3 weeks will be very tight and hard for me, I will stay positive! Because I have God here in my heart. I trust Him and I have faith that He will fill me with the Holy Spirit that will take away all the worries and stress. I know that He will protect me from all the distractions. With God's love, everything will be perfect for me. I lift everything up to Him and I am doing all of these things for His Glory. :) I just pray that my friends would feel that too and they will stay positive!:) HAVE A BLESSED FINALS TO ALL!:)
"I can do anything through Christ who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:13
"If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter 4:10-11
"For I know the plans I have for you,plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"If you believe,you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
