What should I write?

I just had a great and heavy lunch at a restaurant.

It was a great lunch! So great that I'll blog about it! It was a 1/3 CheeseBurger in Kenny Rogers! Being in the Philippines, commercials are deceiving. You'll see in the commercials that the burgers are big and delicious. As you buy the product, well suprise surprise smaller than a mustard seed and the taste is like bricks that you can throw to your enemy. Not in Kenny Rogers' Cheeseburger! It was enormous! Juicy in the inside! Not flabby! The burger's juice has lovely taste to it! Imagine a burger that will let you eat the vegies that is in your burger! I love the burger so muuuch! The burger was really good that we reached out the comments and suggestions paper and we wrote how awesome the burger was (and a refinement with their roast chicken sandwich). So much with burgers, let's look what we can get out from this. People can really deceive you and show you things that at first looks delicious and lovely, but at the end it leads you with a disappointed heart. We always experience this on our society that leads us to just tolerate such things, but we should understand that there is something far better than what you are receiving. Something so many people seek and couldn't find.

Matthew 11:27 NIV

“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

The thing we seek is with Jesus, but the question is to whom did Jesus revealed it? It actually found in the same chapter!

Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Let us rejoice! For what is true, eternal, and from God is revealed to those who come to Him! To those who seeks rest!

Wait! What are we looking for?

An essay that changed the way I think

I've been thinking of a topic for me to write on my essay.

I was thinking to write about what I observed with reality, because I was really inspired with my realization after my darkest months in life. I guess I'm regaining my ownself this past few days, reopening my mind to what is really important and essential. I started to read my bible without distractions and I awaken a sleeping spirit inside of me. I started to reprioritize and oppotunities came to me. Drumming, writing, studying, debating, thinking (a lot!), and speaking. It was a grateful moment for me to realize God's goodness in my life even if I stumbled.
While writing this, I was planning to say that "The reality is WE can't have what really what we want. Contenment, pleasure, or even satisfaction we can't have." I was inspired to tell you this yet I won't tell you what made write you this, yet when I was walking outside going to buy onions and garlic. I realized it's true that we can't really have everything we want, yet we have everything we need. Love.
"I realized that love doesn't need to be a fantasy, nor it be a romantic movies. Love doesn't need symbols, or cupids. Love doesn't need letters or written words (I just accidentally removed THIS and forgot to save it) Love doesn't need emphasis for it to be over the top and for people notice it. Love doesn't need philosophical description nor man's definition. Love is not just a feeling. Love is simply perfect. It doesn't need a definition for it is already been defined. If our reality today is we can't have everything we want, God gave us what er really need. Love."

A Rollercoaster Ride

Lights are gleaming, praises and shouting, the bump of the bass drum, a tap from a bestfriend, an unseen friend, shouting crowd, and a spark of jealousy?

The open sea, the open soors, the lovely bees, and the unfading colors. I'm seeing a crowd full of praises and worship, but an ekklesia full of drought and dryness. Perhaps the heart is the problem, yet of whom? The ekklesia or iglesia? I am in the midst of harvest yet the harvest is not ripe. How is this? What shall we do? Have Paul planted the seed? That Apollo watered? Where only God can make it grow? Why is this treachery in our midst? Our job is not to make them grow but plant them excellently while we water them sufficiently.
Are we in a hurry? Are we in a movie? No, we're in reality. Reality cannot be hurried nor be it a fantasy, it is something unconcieveable that makes every coco loco; but reality promises one thing, it keeps us wanting for something greater than reality. A paradise for us to be in. A dominion where in there is nothing to hurry about, nor it be just a fantasy but more than we could imagine but better for it is tangible and real. We live in a world where the are two realities. Reality of this world and of what is to come. Be ready for we're going to experience something rough as a rollercoaster ride.

"...Surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." -Matthew 28:20b
Words that we should hold before the big rollercoaster ride.

The night when you say "Ugh"

The swings of the tree, the rays of the sun, the rhythm of the music, and "The Mood" has begun;

Where you think of the people around you, the position you are in, your life generally, the confusions all around you, and the mistakes you made. Look around you no one is against you but you feel the whole world is on your opposition, joy is filled within you yet you feel depression that leads you to mourning, love has been displayed to you yet you feel unloved, and you know you did your best and it was the best but you think of yourself as a failure. I hate this feeling yet it opens a new way for you to be better. We're pruned plants, sculptured clay, moulded metal, and ready to face another level. God uses situations to let his sons and daughters be ready for them not to be surprised with the battles they will face. In the end of the day we have the assurance that we have won. Corruption, disease, death, darkness, and even sin has no power against us. Look ahead and our possession is in our midst. It's not gold or silver, nor pearls or gems. It's our Lord Jesus Christ. For with Him we can attain the ultimate satisfaction. Bonus features? HE got it all, prosperity, sense of humor, romance, genuine, and eternal.

BossaLove

I was saved from the pit! I rose from the dead, for your voice I heard.

How wonderful for I have already met you, the from the songs I listen to. How I longed for me to see you, and now you're just inches away. This is the first time I have experienced this, blushing red as a tomato. Your personality is a charm, it sets a light from my eyes. How lovely, words cannot explain. She knows my name, called me, and she was so glad to me. I hugged her, and it was a moment to treasure. It wasn't romance I felt, it was a sense of adornment on how she sings her songs with loveliness, gentleness, and with care like how you treat other people. Thank you Sitti Navarro. I'm glad that I had a chance to see you, but I'm looking forward to see you again. Somewhat a time where we're not in a hurry, and a cup of tea for you and me is on the table (if you don't like tea then coffee for you). Sharing stories, sharing diferrent songs, singing, and having a great time knowing each other. Too much for me to ask, but it's my heart speaking.

Come back

Perhaps this months were the most crazy months I ever had.


I've stop blogging for 8 months already. Within those months I have experienced the craziest, weirdest, and the most depressing days I have encountered in my life. Having another baby in the family, entering to my college life, having a friend who drank dishwashing liquid and ate a sponge, met a girl who had a 70 to 80 checks on my list, and encountering the "Truth"

Before anything else I will be really honest, bold, and transparent yet I won't tell names. Skipping the baby part going to the after youth camp. May 23, I met her. Doing my normal thing talking to people and welcoming them to the service. I saw this girl who was texting and waiting for someone. I introduced myself and open some topics. O, I forgot for those past few months I was watching HIMYM some tv series. I asked her if she watches it and she did and boom instant blast she became my bestfriend. So we texted like all day and night. Skipping ahead to the first month of my college life. I met a classmate who had a mental breakdown on our second week of classes, and beginning to chat the girl I met 2 years ago. Now July, the most depressing days I ever encountered. I was in the midst of suicide. I came back to the dark but there was a difference, I was a light yet hidden. Somewhat I hate to live, it was tiring after encountering "The Truth". To summarize it all I was lost, and seeking for answers. Now after a walk around and listening 3 albums of Mindy Gledhill (Big fan here!) I came to realize that we all experience low times and experience that moment after all you did in life, after doing vg, doing 121, talking and welcoming to people, after the joy and fun, the refreshing, the babysitting, the hating, loving, crying, depression, promotion, studies, and family you'll go to your be, look at the ceilling and remember what you did and there's this feeling that you don't understand and makes you quite sad. I always feel that, and I know you do. People avoid this moment. Through parties, drinking, relationships, sex, and so much more just to avoid that. I got the desire to know that feeling, because it moulded me to be better (and with God's grace of course). After this people will ask me what happened and judge me or condemn me. I say only one thing. "You will surely encounter this."
