Day 1: This is the Day!

Day 1 - Thursday (March 22, the day of my surgery)

After the surgery, they woke me up. They (nurses or doctors maybe, I was sedated so I don’t know) asked me to lay on my left and stop coughing to avoid bleeding. I knew I was coughing but I didn’t know why. I remembered the tube in my mouth, I tried to bite it but it was no longer there. Yehey! I could hardly breathe, at the back of my tongue was full of saliva yet I couldn’t swallow. It was so painful, still tolerable though. I stayed in the recovery room until around 5pm - I couldn’t sleep. I wanted to go back to my room and read my Bible. I felt like staying in the recovery room for hours was a waste of time haha! Stubborn. But of course, I submitted, aside from me having no choice, because they are nurses and doctors and they know better. I fully understand that God uses human means such as them to care for my health.

A doctor approached me, checked my heartbeat? Not sure. Asked some questions and told me I could go back to the comfort of my loving room. Yehey!

Waiting for me were my friends, Nadene and Jayzel. But they had to go to work at night. I was not worried. My nurses are so nice. I was left alone in the hospital. They served me dinner - 3 packs of different juice drinks and vanilla ice cream. Day 1 wasn’t hard. It was very comfortable. All medicines went through IV - I don’t know what that is, let’s say dextrose. Hehe! Swallowing was still painful, yet I needed not to swallow anything. I was asleep most of the time, maybe because of the pain reliever. I had time to read my Bible, still. Praise God!

Dr. Kirt went to check on me. To see him was very relaxing. He doesn’t just know exactly what he’s doing, he’s very passionate about it. He’s a doctor with a heart. I wish I could find time to share the Gospel with him one day. He held my hand so I could stand up and gave some advise, as usual, I couldn’t remember. He said he wanted me to stay in the hospital the whole day tomorrow and observe me. I was fine with it.

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'...

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...
