Final exams: Reason and the Solution.

James says "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."

When you face problems, worries, tests in life especially this season of examinations, consider it pure joy. Be happy about it! W0ah!? Our classmates and schoolmates always look for the end of this month, some are asking to have the time past forward on summer. But I believe, James is saying about being happy about it, and here's the reason why "because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.". On the following verse it says "so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".
Listen, if you want to be immature and incomplete about everything in your life.
Don't PERSEVERE!!

And I like this, this is very useful in this season in our life [the finals week]
"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." It will be what?? GIVEN TO YOU!!

1st step: Ask God for the wisdom.
Result: It will be given to you.

But here's the condition. "..when you ask, you must believe and not doubt"
You must BELIEVE and NOT DOUBT. For if you doubt "That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord."

Presupposing step: Believe and Not Doubt

Last words, "Just do your best in reviewing for the exams, follow this biblical principle of asking wisdom, and I'll assure you, you will be THERE..."

  There were couples in the bible who met at the well. But it's different now, like Joana and Jomel. Stories may vary in the past, present, future. If you find yourself in one, remember, “Stay pure.” Words being spoken are his ultimate talent. With passion, he preaches the message to be sent. I’m sure he will not only shower her with sweet love but also affirming words like a hug from a dove. She keeps her friends like treasures, as what the prophet says. The community is blessed for the remaining days Where can you find Proverbs 31:30 woman? I don’t know, I would ask the bridegroom how he got one. Wow! A lovely combination of gifts from father. As they use it for the kingdom, it brings them further Our God is faithful always and worthy of our praise Let’s celebrate as Team Melana starts their phase

    Kobe Bryant started YouTube episodes called "Detail" after he retired from basketball. The channel features different NBA star players and Kobe gives his detailed analysis of every movement of the player. The idea behind the episodes is for the viewers to learn from these players especially the details that they might miss while watching them.      One of the leadership skills that I observe in the people I meet is playfulness. Do not underestimate this magical factor of playfulness in Tagalog, "kakulitan" If there is zero tolerance for you being "makulit" there is a tendency to interpret your sentences or words as "cold". "Makulit" or playfulness factor is tricky, especially in an environment where respect and formality are expected. Another element that should be considered is the "wavelength" for both the giver and receiver of the message. Whenever I send messages to certain kinds of people, it is valid and fair if they...

Happy Mother's day

     Wow. Time flew so fast. I vividly imagine during the first Christmas of pandemic era where I was hosting our church Christmas party in Zoom and her beauty stood among the crowd.  I can still recall our moments together when we all wore white and went to Fish Creek and recreated the post. I remember the times where we sang and dance to the beat of Backstreet Boys at Saskatchewan. We also drove all the way to Edmonton to buy some clothes from Uniqlo.       The first precious moment that we've had was when I offered her a free coffee one time and she accepted my treat. We then took a ride and she didn't expect suddenly we were in front of the Hyundai car dealership at 130th.  I attempted to convince her to come with me and she stood her ground. You were immovable.  A year later I found out that she will be my sister. What a surprised from our God the father. It was a great gift from heaven.  The NIV version states, "Every goo...
