Why singleness is delightful?

    If one likes a woman, people will often tell that person to immediately make a "move" even from the group of believers. Those people are not necessarily wrong. But rarely they will say, "Hear God's voice first". We are in a culture where "moving", especially on getting to know a woman is always in a proactive state, especially if the person is already in his 30s. Sometimes "moving" is best practice in "not-moving" and letting God do his work. God through the Holy Spirit will tell the person specifically what to do and when to do it. The problem is if we intervene in God's timing, we might be diverting his way and going against his plan. The key is to totally trust him. Don't let the voices around you pressure you on what to do, and "don't allow man and culture to tell you how to live"1. Stick with what the word of God says and his promises.

  "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these will be given to you as well".2
- Matthew 6:33



    One of the reasons why we are being led with this "quick-move" set up in today's society, is for the fear of losing the woman. If one is fully complete in Christ he does not have that fear. He fully trusts God that he will be given the woman that is God's will for him. The season of waiting is not agony nor frustration but it is a delightful moment of embracing God's process of sanctification of molding one's character and inner man through the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit.

Team Melana

  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...
