i am thankful for good people

for new friends God gave me.

for new opportunities and later, reponsibilities entrusted to me.

i thank God for teaching us to pray for one another.

i thank God because He smiles when His kids pray

i thank God, for He shall sustain every good work, and provide even more.

i thank Him, because He is mindful even for the worst sinner.

The Disciplines of Life
by V. Raymond Edman

"When God wants to drill a man,
and thrill a man,
and skill a man;
When God wants to mold a man,
to play the noblest part,
When He yearns with all His heart
to create so great and bold a man,
...that all the world will be amazed;
WATCH His methods! - WATCH His ways!

How He ruthlessly perfects
whom He Royally Elects!
How He hammers him,
and hurts him,
...and with mighty blows,
converts him
...into trial shapes of clay
which only God understands.

While his tortured heart is crying,
and he lifts beseeching hands,
How he bends but never breaks,
when His good He undertakes.
How He uses whom He chooses,
and with every purpose fuses him,
...by every act induces him,
to try His splender out;

GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S ABOUT!"

You Are Merciful To Me

You are merciful to me,
You are merciful to me,
You are merciful to me, my Lord

Ev'ry day my disobedience grieves Your loving heart;
but then redeeming love breaks through,
and causes me to worship You

Redeemer, (Redeemer)
Savior, (Savior)
Healer (Healer)
and Friend (and Friend)

Ev'ry day (Ev'ry day)
renew my ways, (renew my ways)
fill me with love (fill me with love)
that never ends (that never ends)

Sweeter

Israel Houghton, Meleasa Houghton and Cindy Cruse Ratcliff

Chorus

Everyday with You, Lord, is sweeter than the day before
Everyday with You, Lord, is sweeter than the day before
Every mornin’ I will worship, every evenin’ I’ll adore
‘Cause every day with You is sweeter, sweeter than the day before

Verse 1

What a privilege to know You like I know You;
To be loved like You love me
What an honor to worship, truly worship
From this heart that You have freed
From the rising of the sun, to the setting of the same

Verse 2
What a wonder to live life, really live life; overcoming anything
What a reason to lift up, freely lift up, every day my everything
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same

Bridge
Everyday, everyday with You, Lord
(everyday, every day with You, Lord)
Everyday sweeter than the day before
(everyday sweeter than the day before)

    To let go doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone. (I can’t care for someone else as much as I did to you.)
    To let go is not cut myself off, it is the realization that I don't control another
    To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
    To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
    To let go is not to try to change or blame another, I can only change myself.
    To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
    To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
    To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
    To let go is not to be in the middle of arranging outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own outcome.
    To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
    To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
    To let go is not to nag, scold or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.
    To let go is not to adjust everything to my desire, but to take each day as it comes and to cherish the moment.
    To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can be.
    To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
    To let go is to fear less and love more…

   To let go, is to let God... (Martin Luther)

God's love for His elect is immeasurable, beyond the limitaitons of my mind and description.

To be God's elect, I have no words to describe its mystery.

I don't know why out of the certainty and reality of hell, He can still choose who belongs to Him.

I don't know why..

why not give up on me...

why look after me...

why love me...

why choose me...

why after all i've done, keeps on taking me back...

why not just give up on me...

why not say "I knew it! I should not have died for you!"

Last night, i saw something that made me smile... a friend, not just a friend, but a best friend, in the pulpit sharing a message from the Word.

Seeing him brought me to a time and place called the "future." A glimpse i cannot describe, because it's indescribable.

Nix and I were the best of friends since high school. We don’t celebrate anniversaries, I’m not good with dates and I doubt it if Nix is keeping a record of when God introduced us to one another…  and besides, it’s weird. (just giving it a thought is weird enough) But he has been more than a brother to me. His family has become my family. His house has become my house, my house has become his, his underwear, well, is still his underwear (kala nyo ha ).

But most importantly is how God gave me a friend who loves Him in his own way, allowing me to love Him in my own way, too. I’ll admit we haven’t been taking our faith seriously when we were younger , until God has really declared it’s time for these two guys to make a difference for Him. I saw God's patience to these two dudes who are just learning the way.

After Nix’s message, I talked to him and told him how I was really happy seeing him there. How I pray that God will use us mightily to bring people closer to him, to win people for His glory, to be used mightily by God to even make a difference in our country. (gulp)

Share ko lang... mganda e...

Immanuel, what more could you have done to make it possible for me to be with you? What greater price could you have paid? If your heart is aching to be with me, then by your Spirit put the same desire in my heart. (Our Journey 12/23/2005)

Sabi sa ad ng ADIDAS...

"Impossible is nothing..."

Nothing is impossible to God...

God can use me inspite of me...
