ACTS and STUFF

Well, spiritually high na naman ang inyong lingkod, kasi kakatapos lang ng Cell Group namin kanina tapos ACTS pa right after. Nakakalungkot nga lang dahil hindi ako masyado nakikinig sa C.G. kasi inaantok ako (sori Ate Rose). Ang saya naman ng ACTS kanina kasi ang speacher eh si Kuya Dave, nakilala ko na sya dati sa Sibol Camp ng ISCF/IVCF. Ang topic nya kanina eh kung bakit sa kalah-lahatan ng mga taong pwedeng pagsabihan ng Good News eh shepherds pa....isipin mo, bakit hindi nalang yung mga priests, or scribes or elites diba?? yun pala dahil si Lord ay isang Good Sheperd din.......dahil kung iisipin natin, ang imahe ng mga shepherds noong Bible time eh mga taong hindi mapagkakatiwalaan at mga taong isa sa may mabababang social status sa lipunan. Pero, kahit ganoong sila, sila ang mga taong nakikita ng mga bagay na nangyayari sa paligid dahil ang iba'y masyadong busy......also, meron silang yung tinatawag na "A Shepherd's Heart".

Ang isang taong may Shepherd's Heart ay isang taong willing ibigay ang whole self nya para sa mga inaalagaan nyang ''sheep''. Sabi nga ni Kuya Dave, swerte nga tayo dahil si Jesus na ang sumalo ng lahat ng parusa, at dahil mercyful sya, pati enemeies at mga taong ayaw sa kanya ay disidido syang ma-reach-out, at dapat, ganun din tayo. Isa rin eh dapat, willing din tayong sumunod sa Kanya.

Basta, mahaba na ito, mahal na (bakit tawag ba ito)........inaantok na rin kasi ako eh.......bukas na lan......FAIR!!!!

Cell Group Namin

5th meeting na naman sa cell group nina LC, Ianne, Hanna at ako, well, may 'small group' din naman ako sa church pero ito ang first sa school. Pero ito na yata ang nagdala ng pinakamalaking blessing sa akin, dahil ang grupo namin ay may friend na hindi namin, kasundo, Relationships ang naging topic namin, at very timely nga naman, nakakatuwa pa eh kusang sumali sa amin si Isma, na matagal ko ng pinag-pray dahil once na nyang naantig ang aking damdamin dahil emo, sya noon at may problemang kami-kami na lang siguro ang makakaalam, pero salamat at nakilala nya si Lord ay ngayon, mukhang maayos ang kanilang samahan, isa itong answered prayer. Basta, anyway, nakasabay ko na naman sa pag-uwi si Mymy, wala lang, ang saya talaga ng araw na ito, yun lang, goodbye.

hahahahaha, ang taray daw ba?

ACTS 11/06/08

Ang speaker namin kanina eh si Ate Lila, pisay alumnus at Growing Deaper In God ang topic nya, tinamaan ako kasi prayer person ako kung tutuusin at hindi just accepting Christ in your heart ang mahalaga but understanding what that its meaning is. sabi nga sa Bible na you are saved by grace through faith and not by yourself so that no one should boast, kasi nga, we really, as in really, really, really don't deserve His salvation and mercy, but because of His immense love, He sent Jesus Christ here to die for all of us for ALL of our sins, maging yesterday, today or tomorrow pa man yang sins mo. Also, evangelism is not done by cornering a person and making God a fire exit for his sins, that person must be ablt to understand the real gift he has received. Sabi nga ni Ate, Christians must make God their way of life, as in si God mismo ang buhay mo.

sorry, pagod na kasi ako kaya maikli lang ito.

Pres. Elect. Barack Obama's Speech after Winning

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama spoke at a rally in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, after winning the race for the White House Tuesday night. The following is an exact transcript of his speech.

Obama:

Hello, Chicago.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.

To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.

This is your victory.

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.

Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.

Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

How Great Is Our God by Lakewood

Cover The Earth by Lakewood

Why not believe in Him?

*unang-una, "bato bato sa langit ang tamaan huwag magagalit"*

~~Isa itong reaction sa mga taong labis akong sinasaktan dahil sa kanilang mga sinasabi~~

Kaka-ACTS ko lang kanina at malaking syang tama sa akin......paano b nman, HONORING YOUR PARENTS ang usapan......eh tagilid ako sa bagay na yan pero grabe, nahimasmasan ako kanina.....basta, hindi lang kasi ako ganun ka-open sa parents ko. Anyways, 2nd ACTS Fellowship ko na at ang sarap talaga sa feeling, kahit sabihin mo ng late kang umuuwi at pagod ka, napaka-light ng feeling, yung tipong pwede nang mangyari ang lahat sa iyo kasi ang saya ng feeling. Yung alam mong may makaka-usap ka kapag may problema, may sandalan ka sa times of sadness, may ever ready friend at kung anu-ano pa.

Since birth, in-expose na ako ng parents ko sa church at sa gospel, kung di nga ako nagkamali, parating bible stories pa noon ang bedtime stories ko eh. Noong bata pa lamang ako, naging malaking part na ng buhay ko ang pagdarasal, pagpunta sa church, pagsali sa activities nito etc, nagkaroon din ako ng mraming kaibigan, kaya hindi sa akin alien ang Bible, ang evangelism and etc.

Naging super rooted ako sa faith ko dahil maraming pinagdaanan, pinagdadaanan at (sigurado akong) pagdadaanan pa ng pamilya ko. sabi nga ni Mymy (paraphrased version) "Matuwa ka pa kung tinetemp ka ng demonyo kasi ibig sabihin noon, malaki ang trust kay Lord at gusto ka nyang makuha [pero imposible yun, si Lord ang kalabanin nya eh], dahil kung wala, ibig sabihin noon, kasama mo na sya, friend mo na sya" ito ang isang statement ng friend ko na naging malaki ang tama sa akin.

Ang nakakapagtaka nga lang, kung magtatanong ka ng mga tao; sa mall, sa palengke, kahit sa kalye lang, kung naniniwala sila sa Diyos at kung may pananampalataya sila, 'Oo' ang sagot nila. Pero nung pumasok ako sa Pisay, may mga tao akong nakilala na either walang pinaniniwalaang religion or totally hindi naniniwala kay Lord, aethist ba? (Hindi na ako magbabanggit ng mga tao, pero alam kong kilala nyo kung sino kayo kung binabasa nyo ito) sa totoo lang, nasasaktan ako dahil tumatak sa akin ang kinwento sa akin dati, na kung mamamatay ka at during the time of Judgement, nakapatong sa ulo mo ang dugo ng mga taong malapit sa iyo na hindi mo na-share-an ng Word Of Christ, kaya kaming tatlo nina Mymy at Mirko, ay malaki ang kagustuhan sa ma-touch ang hearts ng buong batch at sana ng buong Pisay community, sabi nga, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD.

Ang sa akin lang naman eh hindi ba nila naiisip kung bakit sila nakakagising bawat araw, kung bakit meron silang pagkain sa araw-araw, kung bakit sila nakapasok sa isang prestigious school tulad ng Pisay, kung bakit tayo biniyayaan ng katalinuhan. Ang akin kasi eh dapat lang nating gamitin ang ating God given talents and treasures for the greater glory of the Lord, isa lang ito sa maraming paraan para maipakita natin na tayo'y nagbibigay pugay sa Kanya. And besides, nasa Bible that we should glorify Him and evangalize. Para doon sa mga hindi naniniwala sa Bible dahil gawang tao lang daw ito at hindi perpekto ang tao therefore may mali o baka false ang Bible, ang sasabihin ko lang eh these people who translate and rewrite the Bible are filled with the Holy Spirit for the guidance of the Lord, yun nga lang, sabi sa "Something Nice To Read" kong post, it is our faith that binds us to the Lord or even the scientific facts. sabi nga sa akin noon, the Lord has a purpose for everyone and he even take us away from this world kahit isang pitik lang.

Nakakalungkot kasi at nakakatakot kung ang mga malalapit mong kaibigan ay hindi mo ma-share-an at hindi ma-accept si Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Isipin mo lang, nandoon ka sa harap ng Panginoon at pagtingin mo nga sa sarili mo, may bahid ng dugo ang iyong puting damit ng dugo ng iyong mga kaibigan at patingin mo sa ibaba ay nandoon sila't sumisigaw kung bakit hindi mo sila nasabihan tungkol sa Magandang Balita ng Diyos. Yun ang inspiration, motivation ko sa kagustuhang ma-reach out ang aking mga kaibigan upang makilala si Jesus at magkaroon ng intimate relationship with Him.

Ang plano ko eh maging magandang testimony ang mga buahy namin upang mabuksan ang mga "mata ng mga puso" ng mga taong ito at malaman ang katotohanan.

Sorry kung sa tingin nyo'y hindi ko 'defend' o na 'prove' ang points ko, nasasayangan lang kasi ako sa mga taong ito at sa mga buhay nila kung hindi naman nila magagamit to the fullest.

Children These Days

Kahapon, mga 10:00 pm na ng gabi, lumabas ako ng bahay para mag-pa-print ng lyrics for ACTS, tapos pagkapasok ng sa isang computer shop, ala eh, hindi mo aakalaing gabi na.....punong-puno parin sila ng bata......puro naglalaro ng RO, DotA, Flyff, MU etc. Bigla tuloy akong napa-isip, hindi ba hinahanap ng mga magulang nila ang mga batang ito? Tapos, mamayamaya, may batang sumigaw "Hoy! Laro tayo bukas, mga 6 ha!" noong una, akala ko 6 ng gabi...aba, after non, may sumagot "Bakit, hindi ka ba pwede ng Alas-cinco ng uamaga!?" aba, sigurado akong hindi ako nagkamali ng dinig...... wala na yata sa bukabularyo ng mga batang ito ang 'pagkain', ang 'pagtulog', 'pag-uwi'??

Siguro pwede ko pang maintindihan dahil SemBreak ng karamihan pero, dahil matagal na akong nagpiprint sa mga shops, kait umaga, tanghali o gabi man yan, maging weekday, sunday, monday, tuesday, today man o tomorrow, pare-pareho ang mga mukha ng mga batang nakikita kong nakaupo sa mga computer tables... nung tinanong ko ang caretaker ng shop, ala, saulado na nya kung sino ang mga parokyano nya, anong mukha, anong pangalan, at take note...kung sino ang magbabarkada, magkakapatid etc....pwede mo na nga syang pagawin ng "connection tree" dahil parang bahay na ng mga bata ang computer shop. Nung huling page na ang piniprint, biglang bumulyaw ang caretaker, "Hoy! Yung bata sa computer 9, mag-pipitong oras ka na!! mag-e-extend ka pa ba!?!?!" at ofcourse 'oo' ang sagot ng bata.

Ang iniisip ko lang, paano pa sila nakakapagaral?? Dati nga eh, dumadaan ako ng computer shop bago pumuntang Pisay kasi nag-papaprint, alas-sais noon ng umaga at punong puno kaagad ito ng mga estudyanteng naka-uniform pa.

Kawawa naman ang kanilang mga magulang na nagpapakahirap sa pag-tratrabaho para mabigyan ng baon ang kanilang mga anak, sinasayang ng mga batang ito ang chance nilang makapag-aral at mai-ahon ang kanilang mga pamilya sa kahirapan. At ngayon, winawaldas lamang nila ang pera na kung saan ibinuhos ng mga magulang ang kanilang dugo't pawis...sabi nga ng tatay ko "Hindi tayo tuma-tae ng pera kaya ingatan nyo yang ibinibigay namin sa inyo....OK lang naman kung ubusin nyo yan basta't SPEND WISELY".

Nasasabi ko ito dahil alam ko ang hirap na dinadanas ng ilang bata para lang pumasok kahit di man kita sa anyo ko....dati, kinaylangan kong pumasok kahit pwede na akong mahimatay sa lagnat dahil idinikdik sa utak ko ng mga magulang ako ang totoong gamit, advantage etc ng edukasyon. Dati rin, kinaylangan kong maglakad mula Pisay hanggang bahay namin sa Project 8 dahil naubos ko ang budget ko kahit di pa katapusan ng linggo. Naiukit sa utak ko ang kahalagahan ng budget dahil ang 1,500 na natatanggap ko buwan-buwan ay kung saan ako kuhukuha ng pambili ng school supplies, pamasahe, extra expenses etc at hanggat kaya ko, ayoko sanang humingi ng pera sa parents ko dahil mahirap talagang kumita ng pera.

Kaya't sana, mabasa ito ng marami pang tao...sana mga estudyante at ma-appriciate ang sakripisyo ng parents nila para lang makapasok sila sa paaraalan

The Song Is Alive by Point Of Grace

THE SONG IS ALIVE

Can you hear the song moving on the wind
Calling us home, drawing us in
It's a wave of love that's melting all resistance
Can you feel it, when it starts
It's within the reach of our hearts
It'll change the world around us if we listen
It's the living, breathing message
Of the mercy of our God

(Chorus)
The song is alive
Stirring hope in the soul, don't you know
It's the heartbeat of life
Moving us with a love
That's never ever ever gonna die
The song is alive

It's pushing down walls, driving out doubt
No power on earth's gonna drown it out
And in the middle of the darkless night His voice will lead us
And the music plays on
When we start to sing the song
No nothing's gonna stop the faithful love of Jesus
It's the living, breathing message
Of the mercy of our God

(Repeat Chorus)

Welling up in us, a love beyond compare
Spilling from the lips of the believers everywhere

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
The song is alive
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

(Repeat Chorus)

It's pushing down walls, it's driving out doubt
Don't you know

Circle Of Friends by Point Of Grace

dedicated to Mymy, TJ and MSK

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much

I spent so many lonely years just trying to fit in
Now I've found a place in this circle of friends

(Chorus)
In a circle of friends we have one Father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend
That's the way it is in this circle of friends

(Chorus 2)
In a circle of friends we have one Father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That we'll gather together no matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends

Among the nations, tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other

With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh we'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends

(Chorus 3)
In this circle of friends we have one Father
In this circle of friends, we share this prayer
That will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

Days Of Elijah

Rain Down On Me by Point Of Grace

Rain Down On

Showers of sadness flood my soul
In the dryness of my pain
I watch for the rainbow
When my heart turns gray
As I long for yesterday

I know that I need you
In the time that I stray
So I'll follow like night after day

(Chorus)
I need you to please pour down your light
For this is my life-line
I need you to rain down on me
The weather is fine when you rain on me
The weather is fine when you rain on me

The power of gladness takes control
When it's streaming from Your face
You vanish my sorrow
You wash it away
Like the sunlight in the rain

I know that I need You
In the time that I stray
So I'll follow like night after day

(Repeat Chorus)

Holy water falls as I lift my eyes
From my own fate
Then heaven flows straight through my
Spirit as it carries your embrace

(Repeat Chorus)

The weather is fine when you rain on me
