Birthday Gift for Beging

-
Do you guys remember Beging? She’s my sister. She is currently studying in ICCT College. I and Beging are best of friends. We share problems, secrets and we were partners in crime (that was before we became Christians; now we go to church together regularly).

 

I love the fact that she listens to me and she listens to God’s word every Sunday. Most of the things that I was telling my sister are indeed hard to accept, but she tries her very best. “Hupotasso” is one of the hardest lessons for her, I guess, because it’s very hard for me too --- yet we’re both trying our best.

 

Moving on, before Christmas, I kept praying for God to give me the ability to buy Beging a router. She needs it for her study. In fact, that prayer is written in my prayer notebook multiple times. 



 

Jesus really is a faithful God and He will never leave me hanging with no answer. I was not worried when I pray for something lately. I cling to God's promise that as His child, I can ask for anything in Jesus name, and it’ll be answered --- if it pleases Him ofcourse. And yeah, with Lester’s help, I was able to give Beging a router. 



 

I know that router isn’t enough. I want to give Beging something that will motivate her to study hard., plus the fact that she’s graduating this year. I’ve always wanted to buy her laptop or tablet, even the cheapest one would be fine. She needs it because her computer crashed, and Ato’s computer was no longer working as well. I couldn’t afford to buy her nice laptop, nor an iPad --- so you know what I did? I prayed. 



 

All of my prayers have answers --- mostly are YES, some are NO, and some are LATER. God has always been transparent to me. He tells me why NO and why LATER. Though I can’t expect everything to be revealed instantly. God is so funny at times, that would make me say, “Ikaw talaga Lord, pinakaba mo ko.” 

 

Anyway, I got my 13mo pay, got my Dec 15 nontaxable salary, and I got Jesus. I didn’t care whether I wouldn’t have money left, I knew that God will provide --- He proved that to me hundred times. I bought Beging her tablet, as my birthday gift for my lovable sister.



 

It may not be expensive, but it came from my heart; my heart which is guided by God.

 

When we pray, sometimes we think that God isn’t listening to us, or God isn’t giving us what we prayed for, or all other selfish things that people may think. Our knowledge is very narrow, we want what we think is good, but God KNOWS what is BEST FOR US. We tend to instruct God on what to do and when. Don’t. If we can’t understand God’s plan, TRUST HIS HEART. Pray, and wait, and believe that God is LOVE.

 

Jesus does work in miraculous ways, and most of the times, He gives us what we need even before we pray for it. I love my sister, and only God knows how much.

My Tonsillectomy Journey

I don't know much about medical stuff, I took up BS ECE in college, and I am currently working as a supervisor in a BPO company. So pardon my innocence in this blog. I'm writing this for the sake of those who will and who are going through the healing process after a tonsillectomy. Hope this helps! I was scheduled to undergo tonsillectomy 10am of March 22nd. According to the doctors I consulted, having tonsillitis of more than twice a year isn’t normal - mine used to be more than twice a MONTH . Also, year after year of my APE in my workplace, I had been told that my tonsils were bigger than normal, which may be the reason why I was snoring and had difficulty in breathing most of the time. Of course, they talked to me in jargon. Don't worry, I would talk in a way easy for someone like me who isn’t good with medical terms understand it better. I had my flexible endoscopy on March 20, Tuesday. A friend, Lian, was with me. It was in Borough just ne...

Submitting to God's Plans

Remember this blog ? I can't help but write about what's next... I met a guy at work when I was in college. I was a working student. I loved him, and it was my heart's choice. Again, I let my heart rule. I was so into him, that I was even willing to leave my family for us. He smokes, he drinks, he didn't want to attend school, and worst thing is he cheated on me. From what I knew, it was only 3 times but it's no longer important. He broke up with me on our 3rd year anniversary. He chose to be with his girl, she was his officemate. My world crashed. For the very first time in my life, I went to a bar and cried over him. I couldn't remember what happened because I got myself so drunk that night. I was with my bestfriend. All I could remember was my brother picked me up, he brought me home and I was crying so hard that night. The next day, nanay brought me to the mall and bought me an mp3 player --- I wanted to have an mp3 player that time. I then realized...
