No wonder why!

Yesterday, I was with my boyfriend. He threw news at my face and he told me that a rumor has spread throughout our former church that we already got married. He told me that his mom talked to one of their leaders and that leader told his mom that we have already engaged in matrimony. I just laughed and smiled coz I am already used to them throwing false stories on me, my boyfriend and my family. And I have nothing to prove coz no marriage really exists. Is this a kind of insult for me again? Is this the kind of blessing they would share to their members (former leaders)? Blessings of rumor, false stories and gossip? That if one leader or member is no longer attending then they will assume such stories? But I thought they are growing? I thought leaders have been attending trainings and seminars? Is this the kind of teaching they have been thought? What a shame. As much as I don’t want to commit sin again from their lousy mouths, unfortunately, I am again. So that’s why. No wonder why God has been punishing them, from lack of staff, poor finance from tithes and offering collections, less attendance, workers and leaders, members moving out and attending other churches, etc! No wonder!  I just pray they will realize what needs to be improved from their leadership and from their church standing. Remember? You thought me this: “Your kind of members will determine what kind of leader you are”. And from the hint of it, I’m beginning to track where the rumor came from. I don’t care anymore if what are they going to say next. I just do hope and pray that God won’t add their agony and distress from their lousy little mouths and dirty minds. Then you stand in front of the pulpit and preach? Lead worship? Lead prayer and intercession? Pray for greater blessing? Nah! You’re just wasting your time. Even if it really hurts, I really have to agree to one person about this: “Maybe the Holy Spirit has departed from your church because of your attitudes and you have been blind about it”. And I have to admit, there was a bit of disappointment again. I think my friends are right. So I may no longer sin with them by my side, I’ll find another church who can welcome me open arms without stabbing nor talking at my back anymore.
May God Bless them a hundred times fold!

At last.... Finally watched it!

I just can't stop crying inside SM Clark cinema during the Sa'yo Lamang movie experience... Finally! I had the chance to watch it. ^0^ I am so happy coz after weeks of stress from work with huge dump of loans, I had the chance to chill out with my bf and watch the movie. :) (And I watched the movie twice! hehehehehe)

I was so struck with emotions while watching this movie. I never realized my self and my worth not until I watched Star Cinema’s “Sa’yo Lamang” by Laurice Guillen featured by abs-cbn. I saw myself on Dianne’s character (Bea Alonzo) who worked and stood up as a daughter, a sister, and a father to her family when Franco (Christopher De Leon) left them with another woman. It was a hell of a movie. Awesome! *Two thumbs up* @_@. It was one of the best movies I have watched of my 21 years of existence. No wonder why abs-cbn remains as one of the top most rated tv stations and star cinema as one of the best movie productions all over the country and internationally. (Sorry GMA 7, admit it. You just can’t do better what kapamilya has now) Great movie and I recommend it best to watch it, feel it, and love it! Grab it on your nearest mall cinema before its too late. (See movie summary snopshot below image)

Reflections...

It has been almost 2 years working with jpmc. I can say that It was never the same since I started working in this account as one of the pioneers during the pilot stage. Days, weeks, and months passed by, changes and adjustments came along. But it was only then that I realized that there is nothing permanent in this world but change itself. Everything almost changed, everyone I used to be with are almost gone and here am I, welcoming myself for new set of friends. I miss the old stage. I miss them, I miss the way that the account used to be, I missed everything that made me a better person ever since I became a part of jpmc. I miss Ate Kath Laforteza, I miss Aaron, one of my closest friends, I miss them all. And what I miss above all is how I walked as a channel of blessing for others even though I worked outside the ministry. Damn, I miss that so much. :)

But let me introduce myself. If the Bible has Jonah, in reality, you have me. I am a christian but full of compromise and worldy affections. And that's why I create this blog. I want to be a blessing of how I used to be, and how I felt passion for my ministry. :) It has been almost a year since I left the ministry and decided to leave everything AGAIN! for the nth time. Believe me, it was a hell of a shit to deal on. But still grateful for I am surviving even away from the presence of God. Grateful for his grace to be with me still. I am still grateful. :)
Godbless you all!!! :)
