FEBRUARY 23, 2009

My neice and I went to Simala Sibonga last Monday, February 23, 2009. It was a planned visit to Mama Mary. I actually was suppose to visit her last January; however it took a month before I could fulfill my plan for various reasons aside from financial constraints. We chose to ride a trycicle instead of the usual motorcycle and on the way to the place the driver of another trycicle run after our vehicle and overtake us then blocked our way. He shouted at our driver in a very angry manner. The reason why he got mad at our driver was that it was supposedly his turn to take the passengers to the shrine but he was outsmarted by our driver. Before their quarrel heightened I decided to get out of the vehicle and take my neice for a walk. So we walked the long way going to the marian monks' place and reach their by 12:00 noon. I did not really mind walking going to the place, it was sort of a sacrifice. My legs did not even feel the pain, the longer it takes to reach the place the more exciting was our journey. Despite that we were wet having to soak ourselves with our sweat we still were able to wear a smile. Perhaps it was only me who feel the joy but somehow I was able to share it with my neice who was at that time complaining we ought to find a ride instead of walking. Nevertheless I noted that day as one of the most beautiful day. It was my mother's 61irst birthday. I was thier offering a sacrifice and prayer for her.

3. Prison Break - CS9 ( main actor : Wenthworth Miller ) i appreciate how the writer wrote the story of this tv series. i find it very intellectually made, the characters are also very good. the depth and message wasn't really about trying to break from a prison cell but trying to break oneself from being imprisoned to hatred, revenge, chaos.

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK

I was talking to a former classmate in the phone last week and our quite long conversation headed to her four-year marriage and still not having a child. Perhaps it is true that most married women will unlikely feel marital success if they will not become a mother. Too bad I failed to emphatized and comfort her but instead I quickly suggested that she would ask Sñr. Sto. Niño to give her a child. However, she was not appreciative of the suggestion. She believe that asking might result to her family experiencing many challenges and tests from God. That was her belief and I respect that. Honestly, I have not been afraid to ask God what I need. I do not think that He would allow circumstances beyond what I can handle. I trust Him and I will continue asking and begging for His help. I will never think that He will set a condition in lieu of the favor He will grant me. Daniel, Jabez, the Isreali, prayed with humility and were very bold,direct and specific in asking God of thier needs. Jesus taught us how to pray and asking was part of it.

Let us not be afraid to ask God what we need even if He already know what we desire.


Daniel's Prayer

"We are prayieng to You because You are merciful, not because we have done right. Lord, hear us, and act! In order that everyone will know that you are God, do not delay! This city and these people are yours"
(Daniel 9: 18b-19)

Prayer of Jabez

"Bless me, God, and give me much land. Be with me and keep me from anything evil that might cause me pain"
(1Chronicles 4:10)

Psalm 91 GOD OUR PROTECTOR

OUR FATHER
(Matthew 6:9b-13)


Daniel, Jabez and the people in Isreal were blessed by God tremendously, their prayers are reflective of the kind of relationship they have with GOD. They fully trust the Lord and humbly acknowledge thier nothingness. Jesus on the otherhand taught us how to pray. The OUR FATHER is the simplest and yet the best prayer written in the Holy Bible. Prayer should include acknowledgement of God as our Father greater than anything else and so we glorify him and acknowledge Him as our God, we are also taught to ask forgiveness for all our faults, and to forgive those who wrong us, lastly Jesus taught us that we have to ask for deliverance from evil and ask for anything we need. So we should not be afraid to pray right.

MY TOP THREE REASONS WHY WE OUGHT TO LIVE

1. God loves us - no matter how ugly the lives we've choose right now we cannot decrease the love that God has for us. He will always remain loyal and faithful to us.
2. Life is a gift - life is beautiful, it is a gift coming from a genuinely in love God and He expects us to develop an intimate relationship with Him. He expects men to be satisfied of that.
3. Many people love us - Although God's love is enough, He still provides bonuses, which is the love from the people around us. You might be discourage of the people who are indifferent, unreal or who ignore you but be grateful for the people who truly care and love you are too many to count.

There are more reasons why we ought to live but those three were the top three reasons why my life here on earth is so meaningful and beautiful.
