Steve Job's Last Words

The father of my BFF sent me a link to Steve Job's Last Words on Kakaotalk. After reading it, I find it worthy to share. Also, it is very timely with the message today in the church about money. Wealth has a power to blind us what really matters. Money sets a snare to whoever loves it. Yeah, let's all watch out 'cause anybody can fall to its trick. It has full of lessons and an eye-opener to many of us. Take time to read and let the message sink in: "I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others' eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end , wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realized that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the hu...

Prayers & Answers

Every day we carry with us to-do list, to-buy list, and to-have list. They seem endless. Every second or minute ticks,  a new idea comes to mind and we desire to have them. Sometimes they  come right away, but some will test your patience. They come very late. (In our thinking, it's late.) While I am waiting for my student to take my skype call for our online class, I have this realization: God will give you the things you have prayed for when you are all ready to accept it - physically, mentally, spiritually. God knows the perfect timing. However, more often than not people are impatient. We are so used to 'instant things.' We thought that once we pray to God what we want, we want to receive it the next day or the next week. Yet, we don't know God has another thing in mind - better than what we thought of. God says in the Bible His thoughts and His plans are higher than ours. Thus, people should learn to trust God in everything. I am telling this to myself. Though insi...

A Burden

"You're going to wear yourself out--and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself." (NLT) -Exodus 18:18 Moses' father-in-law had just given him some wise advice to delegate. Moses was tasked with being the sole judge for thousands of Israelites, but it was burdensome. Often, we cling onto these burdens because we take pride in the control and recognition we receive from doing them. Yet, delegating gives others the opportunity to prove their worth if you give them the chance. Also, we can be much more effective with our time because it is multiplied by the effort of many. Are there areas you could relinquish control and delegate to willing and capable people? Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://bit.ly/16uZrQ5

Banana Split @ Shakeys

[caption id="attachment_70" align="alignnone" width="225"] had this after lunch on Sunday afternoon with my church mates.[/caption] Last Sunday was the birthday of one of my church mates in our small group. Every Sunday at 2, we usually gather at BonChon Chicken store at Market Market for our small group. But, at that time, she told us to gather at Shakeys instead. So, we headed to Shakeys and had pizza, spaghetti, and chicken for lunch and banana split for the dessert. We enjoyed the food. Also, we shared our travel stories. Some went to Dumaguete; others, Camarines Norte, and I went to Hundred Islands. By the way, what' s a small group?  This is initiated by the church. Victory The Fort is the church where I go to every Sunday. They have small groups for all ages. Our group is for the single ladies from 26 - 35 year olds, if I'm not mistaken. There are groups for teens, for married couples, etc. If you are looking for a small group, please clic...
