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.

SIN is...

I like this, "command was an opportunity to trust God, obey God." We can't tell someone is obedient if there is no command to obey. How does this connect with "the Fall". Eve's decision to listen to the serpent and Adam's willful act of conniving with his wife separated the whole humanity to God. And separation from God is "death". The Fall clearly defines 'sin' as great chasm between God and humanity. At present times, sin is classified as to either small or big, either deadly or not. Sin is sin no matter what. Even simple idleness is sin. I wonder what Eve and Adam were doing and how come the serpent had his chance of speaking to them. They should be busy caring for the garden. However, I have no means of proving myself right that indeed they were idle that's why Satan had his foothold. But I strongly believe that we should make our time worthy of God's trust with the tasks He appointed us. That way, satan won't h...

Morning Light's 1st Ever CHRISTmas Party

Morning Light 1 st  Ever CHRISTmas Party Date: December 20, 2013 ( 09:15 AM ) This is going to be our first CHRISTmas party ever, and I’m soooo excited. I remember TL Pep told me, “Whenever it's possible, always spell out Christmas completely, because it's all about Christ!” Last week’s message was regarding celebrating Christmas the way it should be celebrated, and the reason why we really have CHRISTmas is because our savior was born --- so why should we remove CHRIST from it? Makes sense, I shared TL Pep’s advice to my friends. Pastor Manny led us. He requested us to bring food good for everyone. We, from Convergys and those residing in Manggahan Rd decided to bring Pancit, Lumpiang Shanghai and Siomai. Randy is our cook, as always. I and Randy thought of having exchange gift. Since it’s a very very late notice, we’re not expecting everyone to bring their gifts. It’s only worth 100PHP. We’re planning to have “agawan gift” --- TL Pep’s idea, lols. Convergys g...
