prayer devotion restored..

It`s papa`s birthday........... and i miss you most today pang!

It`s wednesday morning...... somehow i feel light and good. The joy and contentment that only the Holy Ghost could give makes my heart sing... We have restored the early morning devotion and prayer as a family even just once in a week. It is to be on a wednesday morning. I recall we used to have daily prayer with the children when they were younger but as they grew older, got their own schedules, find it hard to insist on one in between. Although i could attest they always have a private devotions themselves before getting out of bed each day. I`m glad they are raised doing that.

But i missed those days when me and hubby would gather the 3 of them, sing a few songs, would read the Bible together, each would give a memorize verse, give out testimonies, share our prayer requests, kneel, and pray together as a family. I thank God for this day. We have bring back this old family practice that we once loved doing.... We feel so much renewed in the spirit.... I could do a lot today, i promise you!

And guess what..... I had a hearty breakfast.. help yourself with the tuyo, daing at danggit na binili namin sa bagong itinayo na SM supermarket dito lang sa malapit sa amin, only a walking distance from Malacanang`s gate.. The ever present breakfast favorite - itlog, kaning sinangag at kape.......hehehe!

Pero excited pa akong mag-diet niyan ha? But how could i with such a tempting breakfast? These are my temptations, lol. Last night, hubby installed an old treadmill equipment in the house and we`re all excited to try it..... Medyo nakakahiya pero puro may mga bulges na kaming lahat dito sa bahay, haha...... :-) kaya kawawang treadmill. Its in for a great job...I will see what will happen.....effective kaya ito sa amin?? will make it sure it will serve its purpose. Wait and see in the coming days, :-)

Hubby has signed up a dealership with the spirulina vegetablet yesterday. And distributors can avail of the products from us at a lower price. I wish i could share the benefits of this amazing thing. Its complete profile of proteins, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, and Phytonutrients has but given good results physically wise to those who are taking it. Heard testimonies its doing them good.. Si Bro. Milo patuloy na lumalakas at si Bro. Victor ay hindi na masyadong nahihirapan after each chemo sessions gaya noong umpisa ng mga sessions niya... I would do anything just to be healthy for health is a great wealth that we could ever have in this world.......how about you?

well, `la lang. i just thought of sharing this day to you. I know and feel that something good is going to happen, blessings coming.... overflowing..

Thank you Lord for yet another promise from your Word that has been assured to us this day! Praise God.....

:-) :D

prayer request!

Please pray for Bro. Victor Lanuza. He`s recently diagnosed with Nasal pharyngeal cancer. And is on stage 2 when it was discovered...

My mind has questions - but what would the answers be? : Why these people? They are innocent to evil and did nothing but to serve God and given themselves into helping and supporting His church?

For a week now he`s been undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatment at the Makati Medical center. His doctors said this will go on for 39 days.....everyday!
Please pray that he could go on and will come out of his treatment free from the desease....In Jesus Name!

The radiation kaya niya, its the chemo thing na medyo nahirapan siya....Our heart goes out to him..

Brother Milo, his father, on the other hand, although the doctor said that the lump in his colon must be operated and taken out. My God, it`s also diagnosed as cancer, choose to just give his case to God in prayer for the meantime. Walang choice mga kapatid. He will need 180 to 200,000 for the thing to be remove via operation. Saan kukunin yun?

We want to support them by our prayers. The Bible says, the prayer of the righeous man availeth much...

We will remain standing upon God`s Word. There`s nothing impossible for our God to do....

Verniel`s 23rd year...


How time flies on its wings....and so fast! My youngest "little boy" is now 23...

Anong magagawa ko? something in my heart will continue yearning na sana palagi nalang siyang maliit, lol, you know a mom will feel that "forever"... But i praise God that we see him grown up into a godly, responsible, and intellegent adult that any parents would be proud of.

ayan nak ha....i`ve given you much space this past days :D.... computer lagi ang kaharap mo, hehehe..... and your writings.. I am truly amazed at how well you write, at putting your thoughts into prints. i greatly admire you nak... (patts ka nga!)

No big deal... sabi mo. Kahit hindi ako magluluto, walang party-party basta may konting "cash", lol. Balak mo pang solohin huh? :-)
segi na nga, luto pa rin ako ng favorite mo. The everlasting spaghetti ni mommy, na sabi mo ang pinakamasarap sa lahat ng natikman mo, (of course, bola na naman :D), at ice cream, isama na ang cake..... yea pwede, basta ikaw!!

All i really wanted to say is: We wish you a happiest birthday today nak.. Kahit tayo-tayo lang mag-celebrate, we`re glad that you are in good health, happy in your service to God, got the peace in the Holy Ghost that passeth all understanding. We continue to wish you good luck in all your dreams to come true at lahat ng nais mong marating na kasama ang Panginoon sa buhay mo!

As always, i could go on and on. Madaldal si mom, hehehe.....at alam ko sasabihin mo na naman na narinig mo na lahat ito.
keep doing what you`re doing, as long as it pleases God foremost, ok?

love you and as the song says, "I will be here", we will always be here for you, Dad, mom, kuia dave and kuia charis..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

your famous mom :D,

God`s promise is true...

it`s four in the morning.......i`m still wide wide awake! Maybe it`s because of the coffee i drank early in the evening.. I remember, i don`t take coffee on evenings, kaya heto, however i tried just can`t put myself to sleep...Btw, what`s in a coffee that can keep you awake?

i have quiet days lately. During daytime only hubby and me in the house, except if we needed to go somewhere. How lungkot naman! ok, i won`t start this story again...

I am also been in an expectant heart this past months. I am going through my days listening for the sound of a delivery vehicle at my door... a surprise box from a loveone is coming! I don`t know when it`s gonna come. We have such a bad weather this time of the year, and i would like to believe this is the reason why it has taken for my surprise box not to arrive much as I desired it.... hope it will soon. When it will come i know it would be worth the wait!

Just remind me of the promises of God and the answer to my prayers. Often times I thought He has forgotten me. Things I`d hope for hadn`t seen fulfillment, even things i thought He had whispered He would give me. Sometimes i`d almost quit expecting them. yes, unfulfilled expectations.

This delayed gifts is a good example of how we have to learn trusting that God is working on our behalf, even if we don`t yet see it in the meantime, that we should expect God to be working for our heart`s desires.

These times our family is going through a difficult season of our lives and resources are slow in coming..... but i am always reminded that God knows our needs......the desires of my heart. And His gifts aren`t heading to the wrong address. They are sure to come...They just haven`t arrived yet. Because when He gives a promise, we can believe it will happen in His perfect time and will........We just have to claim and thank Him with all of our heart, Praise God.. Eventually my sister and I communicated and told me that she had made follow-up with the courier company and they told her the box is gonna be delayed because of some handling reasons but surely it will come, safe and sound right into my waiting arms, haha...

wow.....it`s almost daybreak. I have to hurry and get breakfast ready for my darling sons...
I could always take that nap in the afternoon, huh?

see yah ol around...
