WITH ALL I AM

I got this song in my head today.

Into Your hand
I commit again
With all I am
For You Lord

You hold my world
In the pald of Your hand
And I Am yours
Forever

CHORUS
Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing, with all I am

I'll walk with You
Wherever You go
Through tears and joy
I'll trust in You

And I will live
In all of Your ways
Your promises
Forever

Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing

Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing, with all I am

I will worship
I will worship You (8x)

Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing (4x)

Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing, with all I am

WHOMSOEVER MUCH IS GIVEN, OF HIM SHALL BE MUCH REQUIRED

A missionary visited us and taught us about the qouted verse below.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

I was thinking about the news I have read a week ago. Sometimes I used to think not to accept much responsibility because I know much will be demanded from me.

PROPOSED YOUTH CAMP

We will be having a Youth Camp/Seminar this coming December. Some of us had started some youth group bible studies and most of them are college students. We have our permission slip asking their parents to let their sons/daughters participate the youth camp.

Topics are as follows:

  • Self-Acceptance
  • Maintaining Good Friendship
  • Sumission to Authority

We are praying that God let this event a helpful thing on their lives. That this will open their eyes and see the new lifestyle different from the world's lifestyle, new perspective from the world's perspective.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

A FAMILY VISIT

Last week me with my brother went to a place where our family live. I really miss my 7 brothers :). We have two sisters, the one got married and the one is still studying, a 11 yrs. old girl. I really miss her too. So, I was with my family, talking, laughing, eating etc. It was on Nov. 1 and that was the time where people out there at the mountains prepare food. They believe that souls will come back and eat what they prepare. Different on downtown where they pay money to a priest to make a mass for their relatives/love ones. Tradition! more on this soon.

Three months have passed that my father quit working on coal mining. He is getting older now and working on that kind of job really needs strength. Now, instead of working on coal mining, my father bought a carabao (this is common here in Philippines, I don't think in other countries). Well, that is a hardworking animal and a great help on farming. Now, my father is farming instead of coal mining. Farming is safety and coal is dangerous, this is the one reason why my mother forced my father to quit.

My two brothers are on high school. The school is 1 1/2 km. far more or less. They need to walk every morning for their classes and they need to pass a river. So sad when there is a heavy rainfall. I encourage my brother to do the school instead of working with my father. My mother let them choose what they want to do, whether school or work with my father. My brother explained about the worth of education to my mother. One of my brother visited us one time and he said he want to quit school. My brother gave him money to go back and continue school. We try what we could do helping them on their school. They grow big and I think they'll grow taller than me and will be considered useless if their mind is empty.

Ariel, one of our brother came here in town to participate a poster making contest. It was yestersday. He is third year high school now and he loves to do school. He got the second place on their contest. I was amazed because I have participated that too when I was on high school and got nothing. How proud we are.

Thoughts about Covid-19

It has been a decade already since my last post and I miss posting some thoughts so much. A lot of things had happened since 2011 until I gr...
