I would always be thankful because You are near. :)

Thank You!

The Last Night of the World

In a place that won't let us feel
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you
In a world that's moving too fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you

Our lives will change when tomorrow comes
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums
and we have music all right
tearing the night

A song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it's the last night of the world

On the other side of the earth
There's a place where life still has worth
I will take you
I'll go with you
You won't believe all the things you'll see
I know 'cause you'll see them all with me

If we're together that's when
we'll hear it again

A song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it's the last night of the world

Dreams
they were all I ever knew
Dreams
you won't need when I'm through
Anywhere
we may be
I will sing with you
a song...

A song played on a solo saxophone
So stay with me
and hold me tight
and dance
like it's the last night of the world

First and foremost, I’m doing all these for our Lord.

I have travelled to the past last Saturday. J I remembered who I was, what deeds I have done, what actions I regretted doing, and a lot more. I began thinking, “Am I really meant to do this? Can I really be worthy of God’s trust?” I was so sad because I could not believe in myself. Until nag play ang music na… J

…what can we give that You have not given

And what do I have that is not already Yours?

All we possess is this life we’re living

And that’s what we give to You Lord…

Awwwwwwwwww……

Si Lord jud uy… J

He really knows the language of each of our souls. J
He really is infinite and knows the depths of our minds and the heartaches we feel inside. J

What is more?

Gosh! I felt the doubt in my heart. At an instant I heard Somebody talking to me. I heard the song playing for me and I realized the Lord is talking to me all these times. He never stops. And because of love, He never fails. Thus the doubt I felt earlier turned to something I asked for. I am not sure but it is either the gift of prophecy or the gift of wisdom. Haha! Never mind, I would be able to know it in the right time anyway, in His time. J

That is why I’ll offer my life to Him. It is His anyway. J

Yes Lord! Yes Lord! Yes, yes Lord!

Chocolate

A friend gave me a bar of chocolate. My younger sister at home begged me to give her some. I really don't want to be selfish but I want to really know if she deserved it. So I asked her to give me five reasons why I should give her a piece of chocolate. I was expecting her to let me know how good she had been that day, what achievements she has achieved and the like. Surprisingly, she gave me an answer to ponder. It was her first answer that struck me a lot.

"You should give me some of your chocolate because you are kind. My sister told me I am kind."

Hearing those words, I have realized a lot. Haha! I'm not saying that we should praise others to get what we want. I just thought that we shouldn't be getting all the credit. After all, goodness doesn't come from us. It's source is God. In relation to that, we should widen our perspectives. Not only should we see what's beautiful in us but we should also see and appreciate what is beautiful and good in our neighbours. ;)

Most of all, we should ask God for what we need, not because we deserve it, but because HE is generous and He is filled with so much goodness.

God bless you!

When I'm kissing you my senses come alive.

Lord, hello po!

Salamat jud kaayo for everything You've done for me. Salamat po for giving me perseverance to read the Bible. Salamat for my family, my home, all the people around me. Salamat din po for my DOST allowance, it really helped us a lot. Salamat na po pala for a generally honest election. Salamat because somebody understood me. :)

Lord, sana po tulungan Ninyo po akong ma-understand ang gusto Ninyong ipahiwatig sa Bible. Sana po ay ma live ko everyday ang Inyong Word. Nang sa ganoon, I will live with love. Sana po I could give my best for my brothers and sisters. Sana rin po ay bigyan Ninyo po ako ng deterination to do what You want me to do. At sana kung may kahinaan po ako ay hindi ko na madamay ang iba pa doon. Please help CYA and other groups for a cause to be strong for You, for Your children, and for the common good. I hope po magkabati na po sila auntie Yol, Mama and auntie Nor, in the name of love.

Sana ay patawad Ninyo po ako sa aking mga pagkakamali. Patawarin Ninyo po ako sa mga times that I miss the whole point in a situation just because I am angry. Pasayloa ko Lord.

All these I ask and pray through Jesus' name. Amen.

I can hardly imagine

Whenever I feel weak, tired, weary
Whenever I feel that other people do not deserve my kindness, goodness
I close my eyes and understand that this is nothing compared to how great Jesus' sacrifice for us is.

Everyday He teaches people.
Everyday He humbles Himself to reach out to the sick, poor, lonely, troubled. He reaches out to imperfect beings, to sinners. As a human being, He may have earthly desires, but He chose to be with those He love most - all of us. Indeed, He is a perfect being, He is our Lord. :)

I feel glorious!

This happening in my life was unexpected. It didn't surprise me though but it moved me. It is crazy, really. He was always there. The thing is, I've felt it only recently. Every year, we remember how the Lord sent Jesus to save us from sins. This was a very common story for me, until these past few days it became new, fresh and it penetrated deep inside me. Indeed God touches us in ways which are very unique. I may be touched this way while you may not be. Anyhow, everything happens in His own time. Just as we are born in this generation, not in the past not in the future. And there is a reason far beyond logic. That is the greatest thing I have learned - beyond logic. Seeking explanations in facts would not give me an answer, surrender to feelings does. In being a child, and in allowing Him to teach and show me the way again, I've quite understood.

Indeed, we do not now ourselves. But if we stick closer to Him everyday, our identity would be revealed. :)

pwede saputon ko?

pwede mag-ing-ani ko maski kaisa lang?
gikapoy nako sigig pasensyosa.
gikapoy nako sigi lang i-take for granted sa ubang tao.
gikapoy nako maging si Kristianne.
Lord, what should I do?
Siguro it would be better for me not to have been created.
It would be better for me to die now.
What should I do?
I'm not worthy of being comforted.
I'm not worthy of anything good.
Kaya siguro this is happening.
I'm tired.

Cloud seeding or not, it brings hope. :)

Ripple Effect

Like ripples, we affect lives of people in different ways. Some greatly affected, some only a little.

You love me so much!

Hello po! Good evening! I am not worthy to be called Your child. But still, You love me. Lord, thank you kaayo kay kaganina gud sa roller coaster, as in, grabe!!! Akala ko gud na end of my world na... Sorry po kung nag take risk ako.. Akala o kasi ok lang iyon. More than the experience, I've learned po na dapat ang precious opportunities to live ay gamitin to let my brothers and sisters now that You love them. Lord, help me to love You through them. Lord, please, tabangi ko in making my intentions clear...........












Sorry po. Minsan kasi I talk without sense. Please help me to do things for Your sake. Lord, I want to serve You. Help me to do this po. Please. I beg You, Lord.



Sorry rin po kasi hindi ko po nagawa ang best ko sa pag-sagot sa exam. Pasensya na po Lord. Hindi po ako nakapag-aral ng todo-todo. Lord, help me to see You in everything. and please help me to view it close and view it far.




Thank You for everything!!


I will sing forever of Your love, o Lord!
For You are my refuge and my strength.
And the Word that You speak is a song of forgiveness.





Salamat! :)

The Prodigal Son

Father I have sinned, help me find my way.
Remember not my sins, just let me hear You say:

I forgive you.
I love you.
You are mine.
Take my hand.
Go in peace.
Sin no more,
Beloved one.

Father I have turned my back and walked away.
Depended on my strength, and live life my own way.

I forgive you.
I love you.
You are mine.
Take my hand.
Go in peace.
Sin no more,
Beloved one.

Father I have closed my heart to those in need.
Thought only of myself, a victim of my greed.

I forgive you.
I love you.
You are mine.
Take my hand.
Go in peace.
Sin no more,
Beloved one.

Father I have loved. If love's the word to use.
I've played so many games, they've left me so confused.

I forgive you.
I love you.
You are mine.
Take my hand.
Go in peace.
Sin no more,
Beloved one.
Father I've returned. I'm home with You to stay.
Standing by Your door, knowing that You'll say:

I forgive you.
I love you.
You are mine.
Take my hand.
Go in peace.
Sin no more,
Beloved one.

Seeds in Us

"I have kept the stone to remind me that in every sorrow there is a seed of hope.." ~Adapted, de Carao, Jr. (Expository Writing - With Strategies for Study and Thinking Skills, L.A. Dagdag, et al)

Strange things are happening these days. Tomorrow or some other day may be the end of the world. Whether how soon the world may end, let's not wait for the time to come before we change for the better and be compassionate for our fellow beings.

Enough na lang jud ba sa ato na makontento sa mga bagay na wala nato nabuhat?

Perhaps we have different beliefs. I believe these are God's signs or warnings to His children. I believe in love but maybe you don't. Still, we all have the ability to do so (to love). Let us utilize this ability and know what our hearts really desire.

We are one with the world. We are part of it.

As the song goes,
And we’re just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan;
Oh, when life touches the other,
It’s so hard to understand. (from Unwritten Thoughts)

One busy afternoon
The streets were full of vehicles waiting for it to turn green.
A driver of a car was unaware that it was now time to go.
Unknowingly, a car beside his pulled in front of him and another car followed the first.
This incident made him furious.
He kept blowing the horn of his car and drove after the first car who steered ahead of him.
For him, the road supposed to be his was taken without permission by someone totally irradical, somebody totally unsensitive.
Blowing the horn frequently, he was unconscious of his speed that he bumped another car at the intersection.
He scratched his car and smashed up the other.
He was fined by the traffic manager and then he had been reported to the police.
Nobody was dead.
Nobody was wounded.

No Need to Redo

Ang faith ay parang research study. Proven na ito noon at hindi na kailangang i-prove pa nang paulit-ulit. Sa halip, ang credibility nito is manifested everyday in our lives through God's grace and love.

Lord Jesus, I love you. Please help me to live this love in my heart in my mind in my soul in every thing I do. I love you. Please help me to understand what is Your will for me.

It is Complicated

Sometimes nasasabi ko, "Bakit ganoon? Bakit nangyayari iyan?". Minsan nalilito na ako about what to believe in and what am I for. Sometimes naitatatak ko na sa isip ko na ganito ang explanation nito, ganito ang understanding ko, pero lumalabas na mali pala ako.

Sa ngayon, what I've fully come to realize is that we cannot comprehend everything. We try to find expanations to some things and create symbols to understand.

But there is one thing I continue to believe in, after we've cleared our eyes, we'll see the light.

He is there. Love never fails.

The Twelve Days of Christmas

Are you familiar with the song?

On the first day of Christmas,

...

On the twelfth day of Christmas, 

my true love sent to me 

Twelve drummers drumming,

Eleven pipers piping,

Ten lords a-leaping,

Nine ladies dancing,

Eight maids a-milking,

Seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings,

Four calling birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves,

And a partridge in a pear tree!

This song is not just a simple rhyme or tune. This song, when delved deeper would remind us of our Christianity.

Religious symbolism of The Twelve Days of Christmas (The 12 Days of Christmas)
1 True Love refers to God
2 Turtle Doves refers to the Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens refers to Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues

6 Geese A-laying refers to the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking refers to the eight beatitudes

Goal Setting

Everyday my goals should be;

1.) Learn and understand God's Word.

2.) Apply my knowledge about His Word.

3.) Share this wonderful message to my brothers and sisters. (This, I believe, should be the last because I have to preach what I already practised.)

"Macy, may I have some milk from your glass bottle? I want to add more milk in this container", says Rim.

"Here, get some", answered Macy."But please don't put too much on that small container of yours, some of it might be wasted as you go about in the kitchen."

"Who knows? Your bottle might be broken a little later or so, causing more milk to be wasted."

Lessons along the way:

1.) Nobody except God knows what should happen next.

2.) A person doesn't take control of ALL things around her/him. It is up to her/him to use her/his capaciites in doing the right thing.

3.) Each of us should believe that everything happens for a reason and we should surrender everything to God to gain acceptance and trust.

...

It would be better if we turn our "wants" to others' "needs".
