Camera & Faith

Sira ang camera ko ngayon. For reasons I dont know, bigla nlang ayaw niyang magnukas para kumuha ng pictures. Pwede kong tignan ang mga pictures na nakuha ko na dati, pero tuwing bubuksan ko ang lens, tutunog siya ng kakaiba at biglang magsasara. Weird dahil nung Friday ay nagamit ko pa siya para kumuha ng litrato ng baby ni Pili. Hindi ko siya naibagsak, hindi siya nabasa, at walang kahit anong nangyaring kakaiba sa kanya. Pero nung Sabado, hindi ko na nga siya magamit.

Hindi ko masyado maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko. Nung una ay naupset ako. Sumama ang loob ko dahil nasira ang camera ko. Nagtaka rin ako dahil wala naman ngang nangyaring kakaiba sa kanya. Pero hindi ako nakaramdam ng kaba. Hanggang ngayon, panatag naman ang aking loob. Tinanong nga sa akin ng asawa ko kung natatakot o kinakabahan ba ako sa maaring maging gastos o hindi na pagkakagawa ng camera ko. Ang sabi ko, oo ngat hinihiling ko na sana walang gastos, pero hindi naman ako kinakabahan. Ang sinabi kong dahilan:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" Philippians 4:6

Hindi masyadong naniniwala si Jay dito. Ngayon, ang aking hiling ay sana, maimpluwensyahan siya ng aking faith. Sana, pareho kaming maniwala. Naniniwala kasi akong ang aming pananamapalataya ang mgadadala sa amin sa aming mga pangarap. Kung wala nun, baka wala kaming marating....

Renewed Faith

For a long time, I have been living in darkness. I moved and went through my life without the guiding light and hand of the Lord. I faced my problems, pursued my dreams, and simply lived my life by myself (technically with Jay, but in essence...), neglecting the relationship I once had with God. I had my excuses, valid ones none.

Recently, I am faced with some hardships that I find hard to overcome. I try to do all that is humanly possible, and yet nothing. I was almost losing hope, getting discouraged and depressed by the day. And then I heard Him knocking again.

I cant tell you how it happened, or what actually happened. All I can tell you is that in an instant, I was reading the bible and praying. I was crying when I finished. I realized then what was missing in my life, and that was the Lord.

Now, I could say I have a renewed relationship with Him. My faith was restored and my life is finally on the right track. I have yet to reach my dreams, but now that I have surrendered my life to Him, I know I would be there soon.

" 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' " Jeremiah 29:11

Lord, I Offer My Life To You

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

Chorus:
Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life


Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.

Chorus

What can we give that you have not given
And what do we have that is not already yours
All that we possess is the life we are living
and that is what we offer you lord

Chorus

I love this praise and worship song. This song really moves me, and makes me cry a lot of times.

I miss Praise and Worship...
