A lot of things happened when I met her

This time I have been invited with my christian friend to join there fellowship at United Evangelical Church of Malabon. I know that I already commited myself as a Catholic believer.

I try to join and met a beautiful girl. I was so amazed when she sing . Her voice is so lovely, she have a pretty eyes and a perfect characteristics. we become friend and seems I think I admire her, she help me to know more about God, she also give me advices and reminders. This time I'm very confused. I'm a Catholic believer should I believe to be a christian. But because I wanted to know more about God because of her. My faith with God grow as a christian believer. I become a player, choir member, become a officer. I lucky that I met her and know God. My life changed to better.

I start to grow into a mature God fearing person, to become a good disciple of Christ because of her. I dont know why I have started doing some things that I haven't done before like composing songs, writing love letters, poems and stories. I have done some paint and drawings. My first paint is of her face.

But because I like her I done some stupid things that makes her mad at me. I think I'm a loser that day. I done many things because I wanted to let her know how I value our friendship. But because I became a true men I want to fight for her but I let her go for our own good. I still like her until now.

She is my first crush and hopefully my last.. crazy?? haha.. it almost 6 years now but still i take it as positive that we were never meant to be. But still hoping. Because of her I became a strong christian .. she became my inspiration until now.

Today I still hear her singing , see her pretty face and think of her.. amazing. I'm proud that I met her. A girl, a lady that is hard to reach, the one who can changed her friend to a better person, a friend that you can truly admire, a talented person who gave her best to share God's love, a God fearing person who not afraid to lose everything for God. a true christian that always ready to become a good disciple of Christ.

I wanted to be like her. Her personality changed me, changing religion is not easy but because of her good example, She have changed people, I'll always pray for her and hoping that she will accept me as her friend again. She is the best!!(^_^)

The day I born

When I was still in my mother's womp. my mom has always been praying to have a baby boy. She was frequently praying for a boy that would be my father's heir to carry his name. They would go to church every sunday in Quiapo. Read the Bible continously and pray for quidance and safe delivery.

My mom have a hard time conceiving me. Everytime she felt weak and frail. She would sit down and pray for strength. Always she is strengthened by her devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. She called the Black Nazarene her ''Ninong Nazareno.''

On that day, she was lying in bed when an old man approach her, put his right hand on her head and she felt asleep.It took mom 2 days and a half to give birth to me. Almost drain her water and the good doctor, indeed one of the best available to help her give birth by normal delivery.

I'm thankful for the Lord that He has been guiding my family through the year. I for one is answered prayer for my family. God has been faithful and time for answering my parents request to have me as a boy.

Now that I have grown I have learned to understand God's glory in me. To understand life has a meaning because God has first given us a purpose to live because Christ has first given up his life for us, so that we might live through Him.

The day I dedicate myself to the Lord

It started when my sister invited me to join the worship service. First I thought this would be boring and a waste of time. I still don't believe in God. Catholic Faith is different from Buddhism. What is the purpose and meaning of life? It all started with alot of quetions. Changes sterted to happen. It was a great revelation to me.

I met one of the great pastor there who helped me know the real purpose of life and how important it is to know God. I am amaze at God's love and I realized that no matter how bad we are God is willing to forgive us and love us inspite of ourselves. I ask God to forgive me and asked him to take comtrol of my life. I have learned to trust and obey him and pray whenever I felt lost and lonely.

I learned a lot of things that I applied to my life. I attend sunday worship without pressure from my sisters and friend. The group meetings opened new visions and ideas. Everything become activities of joy and praise.

Yes, How I love the Lord! Now that I have found Him; I dedicate my whole life in his service. Everyday I pray frequently that my lord and my God might be glorified through me. that I grow more each and everyday in loving and serving Him.

After school and works, I use a lot of my time getting to know Him better. In God's perfect timing I can serve God in his ministry.

My First Believe

I have been following the Buddhist Path when I am still a child. As teenage adolescent I began to do as many teenage adolescents, to question what I found about me. This was not just in the sense of rebelling against parental and societal norms, but a deeper questioning that sought to know something of the mystery of life, even something of the meaning of life.

I was fascinated at how different people were: everyone and everything seemed so unique. I wondered why this was the case and to what extent these differences are reconciled with the need to communicate and relate, the need, essentially, for harmony. I became particularly interested in how increasing digitization was leading to a rethinking of what it meant to be human, particularly as I found that expressed in contemporary philosophy and critical theory.

Unfortunately, interesting as such explorations were, they are written in an abstract language that excludes most people. I wanted more of a practical vision , a way of understanding the world that people could relate to and live out so that they would be fulfilled and happy. Such a desire though was not enough...

Convinced of the view that those who followed a religous life did so because they were somehow lacking reason: faith, I believe, was always blind. It took a period of my life that I was thoroughly fed up with in order to seek some change. I simply did not wish to continue living in the way I had been: often characterized by anxiety and fear - little was I aware that this is how most people live!

I learned to meditate and was drwan to Buddhism rather than other religions. I couldn't see through the forms of Christianity to the spirit beneath, not least the notion of a creator God. Islam was too culturally foreign and seemed from my limited perspective at least to be too similar to Christianity. Buddhism though seemed to offer an ideal for humanity.: the Buddha was a human being afterall, not a God, and his teaching was that anyone could also become Enlightened.

I began quite simply. The Buddha taught that if one acts with kindness towards oneself and others then one will experience kindness in oneself and from others. Putting this into practice I just found that it worked.

At its most sublime this culminates in the transcendence of any distinction between self and other, althought quite what this means I don't know! Lost, that is what I am. Lost in a word of confusion. One thing lead to another. I felt like a dust that the wind blows and found no where.

I first believe him. I have accepted him as my lord and savior and chosen to let go of my old selfish life. So great is God's love for us that I am humbled at the greatness or his forgiving grace. His mercy abounded forever. For even I, A merepust in the face of the Earth, here now and gone tomorrow has been taken cared of with compassion by my masters touch!

Praise be the name of the Lord our God. For his love is everlasting to everlasting!

A Glimpse of Real Me

The words that encouraged me to seek God's holy book came first from my sister and my relatives. Their passion for Him is what I know makes the good in them became best as they'd face life with God.

5 years ago, I really know too little about Him, I'd even thought they were two individual.. That Jesus is not God, that Jesus died because people were bad and killed him and that's why were sinful.. too shallow is it to think like that.

But I have been invited in a camp that became the stepping stone of seeing myself having passion to know Him deeply. And left something strange that makes me always wanting to be in church, my heart do feel at home. I communicate with Him and began to have a personal faith instead of just believing. Now, Im commiting myself to God, to Jesus.. A commitment that I will cherish forever.

Looking back, I remember how affected I am when m family misunderstand each other, thought them as thoughtless. The times my naughtiness leads me to a quarrels, to a fights with others. The times I cried not because of physical hurting but more of emotional burden. There was no Him at that time.. and it was so hard... I made many wrong doings and had driven many people to no good. Letting Him enter my life is not easy, one reason was the pressure I got from peers, and result, my spiritual life did not grow. It remained static. I cried out to God and asked him, 'are you there'?

After my mom's accident. A miracle happened. A life saved. I'm so thankful that my mom didn't lose hope and able to recover fast and walk again. God has been so good to me. He gave me hope, a purpose to live, and peace. Now I know that every trials has a purpose! Letting you fall doesn't mean He doesn't love you. Having experienced Jesus's saving power, my eyes were opened and love to have God with me in this chapter of my life.

My Life changed instantly. Things I considered of major importance previously, changed, now I no longer focus on it. I realized how important God is to our lives. I find myself often in tears as the Holy Spirit shows me the deeper meaning of a line of the Word. I realized I still have far to go. I am still a child, physically not, but spiritually. I'm proud to be a Christian.. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. To God Be the Glory...
