Hindi ko sinasadya.
If this is the aftermath of the things that have happened, I agree to accept it. But if there would be things that could be done, particularly on my part, then I am more willing to do it.
Just to change things.
Just to have it back again.
Just to build it up once more.
I am so sad with the consequences.
But who to blame? None but I.
Such is my action, such is my responsibility; I am accountable to it. I was hurt. And I hate myself for I am not used to telling things; I'm sorry, I hold things to myself and that's me.
Like what I've said:Hindi ko sinasadya.
From kuya EJ's Talk last Sunday, March 14, sa Cluster Tres Assembly. Gagaling nung mga speakers from the two previous Sunday YFL Assemblies. Praise God for working through them!
PASSION Everyday.

RISING from Failures.

Finishing STRONG.

With this talk, I was reassured that, again, greater things have yet to come. Greater things are to happen. My heart is an expectant heart, for God will not forsake me; and He will also do that to you! That's how Almighty He truly is!
With this, may God be praised!
From the Talk of kuya Joseph last March 07 at the Novaliches' Core Servants Assembly.
I am great! Because my God is GREAT!!
To be great, here is what we are to do:
Give Your All
Rely Only On God
Expect Blessings
Aim Nothing But Excellence
Think Like A Winner
My Response:
This G.R.E.A.T. will be the form of my heart this Anno Domini 2010.
I will integrate this G.R.E.A.T. to my H.E.A.R.T. and to the culture of F.A.C.E. Such a culture will not be only boxed to CFC YFL, but also to my family and friends as well, and in my entire life.
Tamang tama, 'yung aking 2010 Resolution ay Excellence.
I will not settle for less, for second-best, for "pwede na 'yan", for averageness, for mediocrity. Kuya Joseph's talk reassured me that there are greater things in store for each one of us. Kaya bawal manghina ang ating mga loob.
I can do all things with God who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
Expect blessings. Yup! I am expecting blessings. Paolo and I would be leading a team for the Youth Camp 2010, and both of us are expecting blessings. I am expecting for a good youth camp venue. I am expecting for a good catch.
With this, may God be praised!!
Sunday. Last day of the "love" month. (Though everyday could be love day, but that would not be love "month"anymore. Haha.) I knew it! Alam kong magkaka-sipon ako. I think I acquired it at the hospital while on duty. Haha!! Anyway, on Sunday morning, nagsimba ako. Nung araw din na 'to, basag na ang boses ko. Pero napakagaling at dakila pa rin ni God kasi nakapagbigay pa din ako ng talk kahit na hirap 'yung lalamunan ko. Pagkauwi galing sa assembly, nakipagtelebabad ako ng sandali (May telebabad ba ng sandali?) sa aking kaibigan. At 'yun! Iyon ang mga kadahilanan kung bakit...
Monday. First day of the month of March. Kung bakit wala akong boses sa unang Lunes at araw ng buwan ng Marso. Literal na wala. Ang hirap pala ng ganun. Wala kang ibang mai-react kundi, "oo" at "hindi". Ay! Tungo at iling lang pala. Haha. Naawa ako sa sarili ko, kahit joke hindi ko mabitawan. Huhu. Hanggang tawa lang ako sa joke ng iba.
Ganda nitong kantang ito.
Here's a link to the video: You Take Me Back by Jeremy Camp
The reason why I stand
The answer lies in You
You hung to make me strong
Though my praise was few
When I fall I bring Your Name down
But I have found in You
A heart that bleeds forgiveness
Replacing all these thoughts that have overtaken me
But I know that Your response will always be
I'll take you back always and
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back always and
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back
You satisfy this cry
Of what I'm looking for
And I'll take all I can
And lay it down before
The throne of endless grace now that radiates what's true
I'm in the only place that
erases all these faults
That have overtaken me
But I know that Your response will always be
I'll take you back always and
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back always and
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back
I can only speak with a grateful heart
As I'm pierced by this gift of Your Love
I will always bring an offering
I can never thank You enough
You take me back always and
Even when my fight is over now
You take me back always
Even when my pain is coming through
You take me back
For the full Mass readings this day, click the verses: 1 Peter 5:1-4; Psalm 23:1-3a,4,5,6; Matthew 16:13-19
Today, 22 February 2010, we celebrate the Chair of St. Peter.
In his first letter, Peter reminds as of how to be a leader by being a servant.Reading I
Beloved: I exhort the presbyters among you, as a fellow presbyter and witness to the sufferings of Christ and one who has a share in the glory to be revealed. Tend the flock of God in your midst, overseeing not by constraint but willingly, as God would have it, not for shameful profit but eagerly. Do not lord it over those assigned to you, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
The first Pope then reminds us that servanthood (or service to God) is done with one's heart; not out of obligation. Also, we should set the example. Ourselves should be the example; and not that we would lord over our flock.
Once a leader, always a servant.
Part nung Homily ng pari last sunday (31 January 2010):
A two-year-old prayer:God, please bless my family.
Bless my dad, mom, brothers, and sisters.
Bless my lolo and lola.
Bless our home
Bless my friends.
And please bless me also.
God please take care of yourself.
Because if anything bad happens to you,
I am surely be in trouble.
Amen.
A live faith. A live hope.
We should be children full of faith and hope.
Addendum pa ni Father:
FAITH is the secret that unlocks the power of Heaven.
God bless us all!
