The past year has been a mix of blessings and challenges. In the end, God helped me overcome my concerns and He has healed me from the inside out. With the passing of another year in my life, things do seem familiar yet strangely different. I had a s

No one had realized the amount of devastation that the typhoon was to bring upon the whole of Metro Manila and Luzon. It was like a conclusion to a dramatic apocalyptic movie. Watching my city of dreams sink and swim in water was like dipping my very

When God needs to "wow" his people, He sends prophets like Moses who is unmatched in power and in fame. He remains to be the only prophet who knew God in such a personal way. It was only to him that the God the Father revealed Himself to. H

Been running low on cash the whole weekend. It's as if I didn't get my salary for the first half of the month with all my bills and other stuff to pre-occupy me. I bought my beads and other materials for that jewelry making racket. I also had

Coming from a weekend left me feeling recharged and energized. Like there is a new zeal burning inside me again. That's fair enough considering I had been sick for days. I can't remember the last retreat I ever went to. It must be when I was

After the blessed outing we had, I sent SMS shout outs to other members whom I failed to thank during our mini praisefest. The incontrollable sobbing sure made it difficult for me to say complete and coherent thank yous to people. That night as we we

What I will share now is an email to my friend Mims, because I couldn't stop thinking about our experience over the weekend.   I keep thinking about last Saturday's worship. The words Martha told me when we were hugging.&n

I was home by a little after 8pm last night. That's unusual given my excessive need to be doing something all the time. I was supposed to go workout at the gym but for some stupid reason I left my socks. I just thought it would be so weird to wor

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was w

This email is from my friend Sigrid. Hope you can visit the link and watch the video. I had goosebumps while watching it. It had me crying too in no time. As per my friend Sigrid, "This video is truly amazing because it shows how much God l

Reflecting about my spiritual life has led to me to this one question: What have I been doing all this time?I was raised and educated in Catholic schools but it never occured to me how much more I was missing. It feels empty now as I think about it.

Hope you all have a meaningful season of lent. Just to share.. Last Sunday, I was able to bring with me not only my sister but also my father. That alone was a triumph for me, as it had proved difficult to bring him and my mom to mass. My m

After last Sunday's mass, I decided to stay and pray some more. Like talk to God because I haven't done so in a long while. There wwere still a lot of people on the church and you can still here their echoes and whispering. I tried to concent

Chief Nyoy had warned me about ICON and quite sternly told me not to cry. He kept referencing to Idith who at her first ICON cried bucketloads of tears. And so, I packed lots of tissues in my suitcase for Cebu, expecting that I will have my moment of
