Friday, November 29, 2013 Speaker: Pastor Manny Subject: Nov 29 - Morning Light Are you the kind of an agent who complains a lot if it’s high call volume? Or is it not your nature to share knowledge with your subordinates? A hot-headed supervisor? Does not take accountability for your failed CSAT, instead, you put the blame on others ?  Do you cheat and lie so you can take advantage of your SL credits? Does your pleasure depends on your friends and at the end of the day you would end up empty ? Do you rely on energy drink and coffee instead of asking God to give you strength? Do you smoke to relieve stress instead of praying? What has God been teaching you lately? Let’s examine ourselves. Do we have an attitude of gratitude?

Though we think this way, the truth is, God has a reason why we are placed where we are right now. Even our schedules, God just uses our workforce/FA, but God plots our RD and God approves our VLs. Take time to read the book of Esther. Out of all the beautiful, young women, King Xerxes chose Esther to be her queen. Everything that happened in the palace was designed by God. From the moment that the guards int...

When I was reading blogs and feedback about Mt Batulao, I guess I underestimated its wonder and difficulty. First and last stopover was in Tagaytay. We bought ingredients for sinigang. Ofcourse, we ate Bulalo!  Hahah, that was me! After we ate Bulalo. We headed to jump off, prepared everything as usual. I bought sleeves for protection against the sun. This time, we were with Joseph (orig BYOB...
