i woke up at 4 in the morning but remained in bed by the sound of rain.....heavy rainfall, knocking upon our rooftops and the whistling of winds outside my window. i snuggled comfortably beneath the sheets. This is what i love, raining while i sleep. somehow there is a feeling of wonderful peace and being secure. I thank the Lord there is always mornings to wake up to...and sunshine smiling on all of His creation including me! Every new day is a gift from God with loveones loving and needing me, while I am loving and needing them in return.
i know i have not been posting for a couple of months. Sometimes we need "inspiration" to write and because of that i allowed wonderful happenings slipping away without writing them simply because i haven`t been supplied with that "word" lately. Perhaps some are important, maybe not, but who cares anyway, the next thing was i opened my eyes and lo, we are halfway through this year - fast, fast, fast, how fast time flies!
The month of July is keeping us busy with company. Two of my mother`s sisters, aunt Feling and Manding Flor are with us for a vacation. With mama bonding with them we took them to see places they had not been before, only now that they are widowed. We took them boat riding in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, to picnic grove in Tagaytay,and then some relatives fetch them from Dagupan and brought them to Baguio city spending the entire day taking pictures of themselves in different beautiful spots there and many more.( their youngest sister whom they have not seen for a long time was with them) Just by looking at the satisfaction written on their faces makes me really happy. Such simple joys of these senior citizens! Deep inside me i want to show them that i care not because i need to or have to but because i want to. I see myself in them a couple of years from now. (magiging senior citizen din ako, lol) I am getting there,:-)
Mama then flew to Tagum city to my sister glo`s place and would stay there for over a month. I miss her already. She will go back home to the states on January, 2012. It is always sad to see her off everytime.
and verniel is graduating on october! He is having his "on the job" training at PAL (philippine air lines) office and like it very much. He hopes to apply for a permanent job there after graduation. Pray that this prestigeous company will favor him and absorb him permanently.
charis is working on night shifts. The company he is with is U.S. based but not a call center. It`s got a higher compensation compared to other pinas companies and sort of satisfying. I think he is saving for an event to happen this year. I will disclose it to you on the appropriate time.
dave & joy is getting nearer & nearer to their overseas destination. Couple steps more with the embassy here and everything will work out for the finality of it all. I would sure miss them but the will of God is all that matters and i will not get in the way. I strongly believe in the will of God. It is perfect and in place..
well, who else would i write but about my children? They occupy my thoughts, my heart and my world. Beside God, they are also the air that i breath!
Today i`m just in reflections about how good God is continually to us.. I could not ask for more...Truly i have a Great, Great God!
(Please visit my facebook page to view latest pictures of family & relatives. Remember you need to log in first and one of my "friends)..
will really try to update more often....

if you may ask...
its a windless sunday afternoon...so hot today but not like yesterday. I think its a 36C in Manila.
the leaves in the trees are not moving and its just so extraordinarily hot!.. can`t seem to get enough of the cool air from our room`s airconditioning unit. My gums are swelling and with it i am hating the headaches... There`s no denying here comes our hot summer ones again. Heat is unbearable now that i am aging. Church is what keeps me on my feet, i sang my heart out with the praise team this morning unmindful of the perspiration thats making their way like a brook on my back..Oh how i long i could jump and dance forever without being short of breath and getting exhausted.. I love this ministry knowing this is one best thing that i can do for the Lord.. makes me feel so alive!
It has been 2 weeks now that our core group had been into evangelism work. Giving out prayer request forms in areas just surrounding malacanang complex. Last week and today is a success. Thirty people formed groups of seven and they came home bringing 53 prayer requests from 53 people they`ve talked to on the streets. This afternoon there are 57 more and that makes it more than a 100% positive result....From these number of people will be "contacts" to follow up for bible studies...Lord, we claim them in Your name... whatever it takes! We are really excited for new converts to come this year! Our goal are 200 for the year 2011... This is possible if we will only let the Lord use us...
God has been good... i only claim blessings! Time to acquire all His benefits! Our church is still unfinished and i am sad that we have to put off the work on the construction for lack of funds yet i firmly believe we`re gonna do more improvements little by little as God supplies the means.
Two weeks ago my sister glo from Tagum visited us here in malacanang. Mama and I had bonding times with her for a few days.... know what? something came up and i think its quite exciting. its about a recording.... a very long overdue desire and longing of the two of us. well, plano pa lang naman ito at kadalasan ang plano ay na-aabort, huh? lets see what God can do...
Its summer break and my boys are on vacation until school will open again in June.. Charis is job hunting this week. With the heat and all he`s out of the house almost everyday.. Said he needed to save a huge amount of money for some plans of his this coming November... You have our unending support chong.... i mean prayer! God knows your needs. He knows your every desire, hehe!...... Teting is in working mode and heavy with his articles. Looks like he`s grounded in his computer every single day.. but as long as he`s in the same room with me and dad, Dave & jhoy are in the next room and just a call away, i still have a full house.. an empty nest is so remote for now. I am happy! :-)
I love mother Lily being here with us in the house this year too... Will be here until early next year for the Patts family reunion. We want to enjoy her while we can and while she`s here in manila.
We are all fine if you may ask. That`s becoz of the goodness of God!

our 30th year anniversary concert.. (No other Name)
We did it again and it was just so amazing! It was unforgettable and I know it will stay in my memory for the rest of my life! I will not question the presence of the Lord that night during the concert. Until now i cant seem to move on from that awesome night. My heart is so full and i still grin everytime i think about all that`s happened..
it was all so perfect.. For HCJC that was a night worth remembering. We were all encouraged that we all had a part in lifting up the name of JESUS! "NO OTHER NAME" that`s worthy of all praise!

through it all - 30 years of God`s faithfulness
i`ve had so many tears and sorrows
i`ve had questions about tomorrow
there been times when i didn`t know right from wrong
but in every situation, God gives blessed consolation
that my trials were only meant to make me strong...
i thank God for the mountains
and i thank Him for the valleys
i thank Him for the storms He`s brought me through
for in my lonely hours, yes those precious lonely hours
Jesus let me know that i was His own...
through it all, through it all
i`ve learned to trust in Jesus
i`ve learned to trust in God
through it all, through it all
i`ve learned to depend upon His Word..
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
yes, these are lyrics from a song that i memorized by heart. My sister glo and I used to sing this when we were younger, would readily do so when asked to sing in church services. Now as i go back memory lanes, 30 years ago when my husband and I started out our life in the ministry, pioneering a church in Tondo, Manila, both young and so inexperienced, we were afraid of what the future hold for us. We had nothing - only the promises of God that He would not forsake us and would see us through. The words of this song relates to us and been fulfilled in every situation that we were in... Yes He`s been FAITHFUL through the years! Now as i look back, my heart is full and tears just wanted to fall everytime i think about those times, i thank JESUS for how He has kept us through all the struggles!
I thank Him for every victory, the "beauty" He gave in every stages of our life and the faith that has not been moved. Thank you Lord for filling my heart with faith so that fear and doubt will have no room in my heart tho` many times the enemy tried his best to make me feel afraid.....
Thank you Lord for through it all, it has been 30 years of your faithfulness!
( I am encourage to write this for in 7 days, it will be the 30th year anniversary of that church - HCJC)

life issues...
good morning sun!
been busy the past weeks. we all know how hectic the holidays could get us.. My body was tired just as much as my mind was. During these days we moms are usually the ones incharge of all the hustles and bustles in the home ( in my case, church included). Life & aging has its tendencies to make us feel weak, and i was feeling sick all the time ( i say, "just feeling sick", hehe..), but all throughout i was constantly in high spirit, glad that i was a part of it all. Being able to serve is such a great privilege. I could say that from the bottom of my heart, :D
The past celebrations were fantastic! ( thanksgiving and family sunday, New year, etc.) I won`t be in any other place than in the company of our church people and loveones. Such bonding time with God`s presence, its just so real in our midst.
Dave, thank you for the tabernacle series. Since that study my prayers are inspired and has given my days a new meaning.. No more dull moments everytime i kneel down on my knees in prayer. I love the tabernacle way in approaching God. awesome!
That was a great service on sunday morning..Everyone is "head over heels" excited about our upcoming 30th church anniversary....and another concert this coming feb. 20, 2011. Wow, this is going to be great! I am singing with the praise team!
I would just want a post on the first month of this year, and this is it. I would say, life is full of issues and factors that`s why it`s called "life" :-) and we all know life is just not fair .... but as long as we have the "God factor" in us, we will be able to face life with all its "unfairness" and for me handa akong harapin ang lahat ng hamon ng buhay para sa taong 2011.. All my battles are Gods. With His presence in my life, i am victorious, and i know i would never go wrong. I am a headin` into the right direction!!
I will keep on pressing on - my family and hcjc! This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before!
:D

blessed!
how fast time flies....once more its end of this year! here comes cool month of December and people tend to be busy - with all celebrations coming up. After the section 2 holy ghost explo held at hcjc last sunday we now focus on our upcoming year end thanksgiving and family sunday. We have so much to be thankful to the Lord for.. what He has done to us and to hcjc this year! This has been one of those glorious and fulfilling year for us... Being able to start on building the house of God, leading us through hills and mountains of financial struggles but at the end of each day all we can say is "thank you Jesus! with you on our side the journey has always been victorious. Each day we behold the awesomeness of your greatness and faithfulness..... you`re everything and all that we need!!
well, has been months since my last post :-) AND I MISS this blog.
I am happy and contented about the boys performance in school since they enrolled this year.... charis is elected the editor-in-chief of their school official paper. Has been getting flat ones with his grades and because of this they have granted him full scholarship. His dad and I won`t have to pay a penny for his schooling this year. Being in a private college and this... is such a blessing!
about verniel, he`s been consistent with good, high grades also. Helping and sharing burdens with us in paying for his tuition fees... I don`t know how he is doing it but he has a good permanent paying job in the internet... this youngest son of mine is an intellectual writer and sure he writes well..
Couple of months to go `til his graduation in college and he will have his own place in the world..
i can`t thank God enough for dave & joy. Both their talents compliments us all. From the music ministry, children, creative arts and many more. They`re such an asset in and for the church. They have given their best for God through ministering at hcjc...don`t know what to do without them... but foreign ministry are beckoning them to go.....no, i won`t think about it yet.. They are with us now and tomorrow will take care of itself, huh?
This year have been wonderful... some people came our way that were blessings. How can i thank God enough?
and a cat we named "blessing"... I thank God i am blessed! :-)

lonely feelings
Most days i got the lonely feelings again only because of an empty house during the day. The boys, charis and verniel are both back to school and pastor dan is busy with the men on the construction. I am left with my marketing and cooking. So routine. sometimes i am tempted to feel that my life is just going so, so nowhere!
Last night i felt a stubborn headache and aching back. Found out that my blood pressure was up to a dangerous level..... 220 over 110! Husband immediately placed an orange-colored capsule medicine under my tongue to help the blood pressure to go down. (really hate its taste...) I realized i am hooked again with this thing called "rice". (how can i resist you?) This time of my life i need to say goodbye to sweets, oily foods, carbohydates! goodbyes are difficult and painful... Ngaun ko lang alam hindi lang pala para sa tao kundi sa pagkain din, lol!!! It`s time i discipline this hard-headed "me"... dahan dahan sa kanin naman!
My brother dan in Richmond, Canada was rushed to the hospital and is in the ICU this very moment. Can`t explain why the doctor put him into a chemical coma..His condition might be serious, we don`t know yet what happened. My siblings from california, Bong & Jay with mom, and Jane from other side of canada are all driving there to see him. Nothing can i do to see him but to kneel and ask the Lord to reach out to him and heal him.... I believe my God can! guess i should hear more reports from them once they get there about his condition...
For now, waiting is forever! i wish i am there to see for myself! (but we all know its just impossible)... :( :( :(

hanging on....
It rained heavily this morning.... Rainy season is here! They said its a little bit early but quite a relief that the annoying heat is gone, although being humid is very much a part of this country...I don`t like it raining everyday. We don`t need too much rain :(.... will lead to floods if prolonged. of course, set of typhoons are expected to come this time of the year!
Bit by bit we continue working towards our church completion. The roof is complete, also the rough cement flooring, we`re working on the pulpit area walls hopefully to be completed this week. Everything is taking shape, praise God! I am real thankful for such wonderful saints of God of HCJC who never tired of sacrificial giving week by week. Always willingly reaching out to help financially just so the construction work will not be suspended.
We are on our 5th month of the building project. At some point we feel weary and desperate about the financial side of being able to go on. To be truthful - we are "hanging on"! Erecting a building is not easy task. sky high materials and meeting the compensations of workers every end of each week is something to really pray about. Outside help has stopped long ago. Perhaps the Lord would want us to dig what little resources we have( as a church ), place it into His mighty hand and believing that He would multiply them like we have never expected before.....
We are almost there saints of God! continue believing!!
God is good.. Just hang on there!

update on our worship center construction
We are now working on the 3rd but last portion of our church roof.. Sana we could start to put up the walls next. Planning on doing that on the pulpit area first... Then mga alulod to keep the rain from coming in the building. Yes the rain is fast approaching! I just hope that when it comes we will be dry and comfortable inside.
Miraculously the Lord continues to supply our needs especially the construction materials. There were times when we totally run out of funds and options prompted us to stop working but then all of a sudden here comes God`s provision, sometimes coming from sources that are completely unexpected... Totoong may mga kaparaanan ang Panginoon, all for His glory! We continue to walk by faith!
Truly we are serving a Great God...

hands of grace concert `2010
The concert was a great success! I remembered having different kinds of emotion before the event took place. What if people won`t come.....what if, what if??...But God`s assurance calmed me that night... it was amazing. His presence visited us and we had such sweet refreshing of the Holy Ghost..... it was Holy Ghost party indeed!! Those hard work in practicing the songs, the kids number, hand mime team and everything really paid off!
The gained funds (even though not much) will help cover the rest of the roof. The second portion completed and this week we are working on the 3rd portion... Ngaun pa lang ang laki laki na ng space namin. wow, nakaka-excite naman! Thank you Lord.
From here, we will start trusting God for His provision again. He has proven that His promises are true... We still have long way to go towards completion, but we believe that the One who started this will finish it `til the end...
HCJC thank you for working as a team. And what a glorious team indeed!! God bless you HCJC. Pastor Dan, thanks for your all out support. Dave and Jhoy, you are both our God-given gems. Keep using your talents for the Lord. Pagpalain kayo ng Panginoon!

my birthday, 2010
Tuesday, March 16, 2010, its my birthday and oh no, another year older, hehehe! I slipped out of the sheets early as usual this morning ( been waking up early for the past 2 months now to prepare the men -working for the church construction- their meals). 3 times a day yan huh?. Passing by the mirror i stopped to examine myself, hmmm.. not much has changed since my last birthday, there`s still the same chubby looking lady staring back at me....( i love her smile, lol).... can`t help myself grinning, I feel great this morning.
I guess it will be another long day, but the one thing that makes it extraordinarily special is because today is the "day" when i was born.. ( let me shout it from the mountain tops, hahaha!) Pangga and me talked and decided the other night that I would prepare a simple dinner this day for the family, and also i guess some of our church people will be coming and share that dinner with us!
My hands are full of tasks lined up that needs my attention today and my mind is already tired of the idea, yet i wonder what would it be like when a time will come that there`ll be nothing to do and me unable to do anything? I already imagined it dull, sad and most depressing kind of life.. Its happier to be about, on my toes, stronger each day doing what i love doing, using the strenght that God provides. I just wish i could hold back the hands of time and i will continue to keep my youth.... palaging malakas, walang puting buhok at siyempre keep the figure ( oh forget it, lol). Nevertheless, today what matters most is that my family is by my side and life is good. I am excited and full of anticipation. God will continue to do great things for us...
i love birthdays and any form of greetings that comes with it... makes me feel loved.... The ladies in church surprised me with gifts. They know what i want and things yearned for a long time.=) (sobra babaw lang kaligayan ko...) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also thanks to some brethren who came and enjoyed with us the dinner I painstakingly prepared, =).
The day ends at last and i lay down again on my pillows, thinking of the past year, its ups and downs. Once more i thank the Lord for being my constant guide each single moment of my life. Thank you Lord for my family and loveones, church, and the privilege of serving you!
Happy birthday myself..:-)he,he,he. I would say, only my body is getting older every passing year but my heart feels young as ever coz of all the people who surrounds and constantly loving me.... With this thoughts i am on my way to a sound, dreamless sleep.
=)
