25th

June has always been my most awaited month, it often leads me to reflect and be thankful for my existence. I am now counting the days as I will be celebrating my 25th birthday before this month ends.

As that day draws nearer, I am grateful thinking of how I was able to live my life and survived a quarter. I actually asked my mom if she appreciates having me for more than 24 years as of date (haha!).  Looking back, I see nothing but awesomeness and generosity of God in my life, I am thankful for the chances that he has given me and the people that he blessed me with.

25 years of unexplainable journey, periods of ups and downs, of friendships, service and love, of joy and of sorrows – it was an amazing experience.  It may sound cliché but I would likely choose this life again, given another chance. Even the mistakes and wrong choices that I have made contributed to the life that I am living and enjoying now.

Life throws a lot of challenges and struggles to me these past weeks, I considered it as a test to my maturity and strength as a person. Through the years, I learned how to truly live a positive life and it is something that I owe to God and to the people who inspired me to be one. My faith teaches me how to remain strong and hopeful amidst grueling situations, I will never trust my feelings when it pushes me to give up for I know I have a mighty God.

As I came to face yet another chapter of this exciting life, I recognize all my fears and doubts. My prayer to God is that, He will bless me with enough strength to surpass whatever problems I might encounter. The same strength and faith that He blessed me with for the past 25 years are the best weapons I could ever think of. As I enter into midlife transition, I don’t know if I will still have another quarter to live and, maybe life is more than halfway over. I just hope that I will never experience the “quarter life crisis” that some people of my age are experiencing or at least do not dwell on it. I put my hope on finding Christ in every trying situation that I may have, as someone told me before, “In every crisis that’s where CHRIST IS.”

I am welcoming my 25^th Birthday with these truths:

•  I am blessed and loved by God who never changes His mind.
• God is a God of hopes and promises so I’ll wait as He unfolds his plans for me.
• I am still single and all my siblings are married now but I am not alone because I have my parents with me.
• I am surrounded by wonderful and loving people.
• I am destined for greatness.

With these truths, I have all the reasons to celebrate and respond to God’s call to love.

MAGNIFICAT Conference Experience

Blessed and Privileged - these are the best words to describe my weekend experience serving CFC WestB's Magnificat conference as a Stage Manager.

Grateful for these people who helped me accomplish my task especially our Directors and all dedicated PA's, who never complained inspite of demanding situation.

Serving with joyful and passionate people made it more easier. Thank you Lord for the talent and for allowing me to just trust in you.

I live to Proclaim your Greatness :)

This is what I am up to lately.....

I never had issues with my schedule in the past but lately I was led to discern and revisit my priorities, as my schedule has been filled with meeting and activities these past days. I said YES to God's call of leading a Christian Life Program (CLP) in our Chapter with Jay - our Team Head. While we are so busy preparing for the upcoming CLP, an opportunity to serve as part of the Production Team in an event in CFC (Couples for Christ) came, I can't say no because I already made a commitment to the service team 2 months ago. On top of these, I am also part of the Evangelization and Mission Team in the same community who's busy planning and preparing materials for evangelization, and I am also leading the Mission Ministry in our chapter who happens to have a lot of activities this month.

This situation allows me to seek God's will in terms of what activities I need to get myself into, this is not a question of what matters the most (as services for the Lord are equally important)but more on what is really God's call for you. God reminded me of his call to obedience, As much as I wanted to be present in all the activities that this services has, I have to delegate and allow others to work. I am grateful that in Mission Ministry we have ministry heads who are equipped by God to work, though I may not be present in all the events that we have set, my heart is at peace knowing that I have a partner and the rest of the team who facilitates the activity. It is a perfect opportunity to allow others to grow and thankful because God made me available during the planning for those activities. My call now is to just check and and pray in silence for the success of all these activities.

I am nothing but grateful to this opportunity to serve the Lord in every possible ways. Though my schedule was filled with services, I thank the Lord for allowing me to spend time with my family especially during dinner. We have been dealing with various issues lately and this is the time that my parents needs me the most. Like what I always do, I am allowing God to take over by surrendering and emptying my heart with useless worries.

Choose Jesus

Jesus coming into this world is a manifestation of God’s love and fulfillment of God’s mission to save us. It is through him that we come to know what God is like and how He is as a Father. As a response, let us continue to fix our eyes on Jesus and allow him to take as out of darkness and isolation. Believing in Jesus also believes to the One who sent him to us. Let us continue following and listening to Him because he is our way to the father. By knowing and believing in Jesus, we are preparing ourselves to our destination – union with God and eternal life with Him.

Highlight of the Week

Just when I thought that this week is nothing but ordinary, God surprised me at work. My candidate passed the interview with one of our client and he was scheduled now for offer. His job offer was moved on Monday and I am praying and hoping that he will accept it. I never expected that God will reward me a placement this early, He is really a God of hope and promises, indeed, a God of surprises. Whatever my candidate's decision is, I am still thankful because God proved to me that I am doing my job right. Thank you Lord! Thank you for my job and Thank you for this beautiful and surprising week.

Happy Birthday Joselle Salvador

Missionary, Humble Servant, Exceptional Dancer, Excellent speaker, Director, loving household Head, extremely passionate Leader, and not just a friend but a real Sister. She’s probably one of the best person I know and whom I valued much besides my family.

I used to see her in every family day and sponsored mass of the CFC Chapter where my parents joined year 2001, however we became close March of 2003. I joined a summer youth camp, an entry point in Youth for Christ and she happens to be my facilitator. She’s very active, talented and really passionate in serving the Lord so I admired her then. I learned a lot from her and from that moment on I become active in YFC as well. It is a joy serving God with someone who can lead you to love the service, the community and the Lord more. From then on we are always part of one Household (Core Group), 7 years of faithfully serving the Lord in one household with her makes it easier.

She used to tell me that she admire my way of serving and loving the people I serve, what she doesn’t know is that I got it from her. I have always been proud of all her achievements and we may not be part of one household now, I never stop praying and supporting her in any possible way. I may have a lot of Sisters in this community now but she will forever holds that special place.

Happy Birthday Sis! I am one in the millions of people who are joyful today because you exist. :)

New Work, Same Passion

Working for almost 2 years on a night shift resulted to my alienation on the everyday rush of people on regular working hours. This month I moved to another company where I can work regular hours and as of date I am still learning how to cope with changes especially with commute and sleeping hours. The first 2 weeks has been perfect (maybe because of the excitement) but for this week, I failed to reach the office on time and I can't get myself to sleep early as well. I am just hoping that this won't last for a month as I don't want to consume all the allotted time for latecomers.


Despite all the changes that I have to face with my new job, I am thankful for this opportunity to live a normal life again (haha). I am now available for my family and friends during dinner plus I can do a lot of things too. My  aim is to finally revive my relationship with people close to me whom I lost contact due to limited time when I worked night shift. I am hoping that I can do it soon. 


My new schedule brought me back to dancing again, what a joy to do the thing I love the most! I am now available for the dance training of SFC dance ministry and I was able to danced for the Lord during the Grand Mission Festival. I really thank the Lord for granting my desire to find a new job, He even exceeded it by bringing me in a really good environment and generous management. Other than hires, I can't wish for anything more in this company. Everyday I am excited to go to work, something that I have lost before including drive and motivation. However, I am still thankful that I have learned professionalism, hard work and discipline from my previous job.


Though uncertain of what I am going to face in this company, I am confident that God prepared and equipped me for this. I am counting on God.
