Rest in

    When you face a significant decision in your life do you have peace? Upon sharing with the group what will happen in my life in the future, one of them asked me, "Do you feel pressured to make this choice? Are there any external factors that influence you in your decision-making? Do you have peace when you go on this path? Whatever you decide in your life as long as you have peace then go on."
    Thinking about that truth in a moment, it is careful to consider one's definition and source of peace. If an individual has a different sense of peace, instead of going to the right path he/she may end up on the wrong result. What is the right source of peace?


   Zechariah the priest prophesied regarding the role of his son being the prophet of the Highest he said, "to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace."1 - Luke 1:79
    We all know who's the peace that is referring to this verse. It is in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Lordship is an important part if we want this kind of peace to rule over our lives and guide our paths. Once we have this peace, our life choices would be according to the Father's will. The world is living in darkness. Without any light, danger is present at the corner. Other lights are fake, and there is only one true light.

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...
