Zian's 1st Birthday

I attended tonight the birthday party of baby Zian. It was very good, I could say the best so far from parties I attended in the past. I was amazed and happy to see my classmates too. Here is the picture of the setting..,

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

WHY?

WHY?

1. Why should I say I can't when the Bible says I can do all things
through Christ who gives me strength? (Phil 4:13)

2. Why should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my needs
according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus? (Phil 4:19)

3. Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit
of fear, but of power, love and sound mind? (2Tim 1:7)

4. Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling knowing that God has
allotted to me a measure of faith? (Rom 12:3)

5. Why should I be weak, when the Bible says that the Lord is the
strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action
because I know God? (Psalm 27:1 Dan 11:32)

6. Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that is in
me is greater than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

7. Why should I lack wisdom, when Christ gave wisdom to me from God and
God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask for it? (1 Cor 1:30, James
1:5)

8. Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads
me in triumph? (2Cor 2:14)

who cares for me? (1Peter 5:7)

and He will never leave me or forsake me? (Mat 28:20 & Heb 13:5)

the Bible says that Christ redeemed me the curse of the law, that I might
receive His Spirit? (Gal 3:13-14)

15. Why should I be discontented when I, like Paul, can learn to be
content in all my circumstances? (Phil 4:11)

16. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that
I might become the righteousness of God in Him? (2Cor 5:21)

17. Why should I have a persecution complex, knowing that nobody can be
against me when God is for me? (Rom 8:31)

18. Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He
gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit? (1Cor 14:33 & 2:12)

19. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all
things through Christ? (Rom 8:37)

20. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take
courage knowing the Jesus has overcome the world and it's tribulations?
(John 16:33)

Another Miracle - Thank You Lord

When I woke up this morning, my papa told me a story about what happened last night. It was 1:30 am when everyone deeply sleeping. My father woke up to go pee. While peeing he saw something outside the window on our gate. He saw a shadow because it was very dark outside and he tried to look at it clearly. He saw a man inside already of our gate and was able to speak "kawatan" ( meaning a theft) but his face was covered by a shirt. When the theft heard it, he jump through the fence like a spiderman. When I heard the story, I was so thankful to God again for keeping us safe and for working really in ways we can't see. Lord God, we owe a lot from you, thank You so much for this another miracle in our lives, thank you for protecting us and keeping us safety always. A million thank you to You Lord.

Earthquake in My Place

Last weekend, we experienced the intensity 5 earthquake in our place. The whole Visayas and Mindanao were able to feel the earthquake but higher intensity to the Visayas area. We were in the second floor of our house and we really felt the shaking and it took about 5 minutes if I was not wrong, the longest so far I ever felt. Lord, thank you so much everyone is safe,my loved ones and the rest of our neighbors but I felt sorry for the family of one who died, may his/her soul rest in peace. What amazed me most is after the earthquake, I checked my parents who were watching television that time that they didnot feel the earthquake, wow Praise you Lord. Thank you so much Lord for your protection always, because if ever my mom would feel it for sure she would be nervous due to her hypertension.. amazing indeed how God works. Thank you Father for this miracle.
