Importang things I got reminded in the span of 5 months

 "In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly."1 - 1 Samuel 10
There are times in life where we are going through something and there is only one person who is always there and willing to listen.

1. Honoring thy parents through financial support.
At one point we were in Ikea, and it never came across in my mind to treat my parents, not in a million years. I'm so thankful that I got reminded that it is a form to honour them.

2. I am not ready for marriage if I think my future spouse will make me happy.
During that season in my life, there were times that I thought and felt why I was not happy. There were times when my full contentment and satisfaction were not found in Jesus alone. It seems Tom Cruise's "You Complete Me" slowly creeping into my life, subliminally. 

3. Man of word
It will be the first snow in the last quarter of 2023, but I already stated and planned to serve and spend quality time on Wednesday. My integrity was challenged. I'd rather choose to play with the snow at that time on Monday. However, I had to stick to what I had planned. Wednesdays during fall at that time is one of the highlights of my week. I got to spend quality time in the Chapel with the treasured people in my life.

  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...
