A Planned Accident

We went to a hotel to celebrate a friend's birthday, becasue we heard that the food there is really nice... The restaurant is not yet opened so we stayed at the lobby... While waiting, I went to the comfort room. My two friends went with me... We saw stairs beside the comfort room... We went down the stairs and realized that it is leading to an underground parking lot... We decided to get out of the hotel and buy a cake for our friend... We went to a store near the hotel but didn't find a nice cake... Then, we went to a mall... We saw Goldilock's and looked for a cake... We were not satisfied so we went to the supermaket but didn't find anything... We returned to Goldilock's... After buying a cake, the birthday celebrator texted us.. They are looking for the three of us. She said that we will change our venue... "Go to the mall near the hotel." Waaaaahhhhh! We were already there.. We panicked... Haha... Then she texted again... She said the location of the final venue... We were relieved... We got out of Goldilock's and walked outside the mall so that we can commute. I was ahead of my two friends... Suddenly, I saw the birthday celebrator with our other friends.. I shouted, "Ara sila, Dasig!" Instead of going back, I went down the stairs so they won't see me.. My two other friends ran backwards... When I didn't see my two friends going my way, I returned and saw many people. I saw my two friends helping an old lady stand up... I asked them what happened... My other friend bumped the lady and the lady fell down. Actually, she was really in pain... She got mad and got my friend's cell number and other personal infos... She gave a number of a doctor... The doctor came after some time... My friend helped the doctor in carrying the old lady and he went to the hospital with the lady and the doctor... My other friend and I were shocked of what happened and we proceeded to the venue. We texted our friend who went to the hospital and aske how is the lady.. He said that the lady has a bone fracture and needs an operation. Woah!... Shocking... He also mentioned that the doctor is a son of the lady.. Wah!!! After eating, we bought food for our friend because we are sure that he is already hungry. We went back to him. He is really bothered which is obvious because I never saw him like that before. We comforted him and told him that we will pray for it. At home, I prayed about what happened... One second of delay may change everything... But God is never late... He is also not to early.. He is an exact God... He reminded me that everything has a purpose although He is not revealing some of it... God gave me a peaceful heart that night... The next day, we decided to visit the lady... We were scared of what will her reaction be.. We prayed before entering the room.. Praise God, we were welcomed by smiling faces... Some of the relatives and children of the lady were also there... It was a great experience because God worked in the heart of the lady... Her family is also nice... They were really good to us and said that they understand that what had happened is just an accident... The lady was also smiling... Before we leave, we prayed for the lady and she was really happy... After the prayer we have learned that they are Christians... Wow! I told them that I am a Pastor's kid (I'm really proud to be one) and guess what... The sons of the lady are also pastors (includibg the doctor)... I was amazed on how God planned this accident... There are plenty of people in the mall... Why the old lady? I guess God wants us to meet these brothers and sisters in Christ and be part of their lives... He also showed me that He has planned everything according to His will so that He will be glorified...

Why - Nicole Nordeman




**This song is close to my heart because it reminds me of God's unconditional love...

Why Nicole Nordeman

We rode into town the other day
Just me and my daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man that my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said daddy why are they screaming
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts him more then he shows
Daddy please can't you do something?
He looks as though he's gonna cry
You said he was stronger then all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why?
Why does everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said father why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my clothes?
This crown of thorns hurts me more then it shows
Father please can't you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry's
I thought I could handle a cross of this size
Father remind me why?
Why does everyone want me to die?
When will I understand why?

My precious son
I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own
Jesus this hurts me much more then you know
But this dark hour
I must do nothing
Though I've heard your unbearable cries
The power in your blood
Destroys all of the lies
Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies
Look there below
See the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell you why
She is why you must die

Have you seen any Broken Soul?

While taking a break sa practice namin kagabi sa Worship Team, kinausap kami at pinag-pray ni Ate Rose... Actually habang nagpapractice kami ay nag-iintercede na siya. Kitang-kita sa eyes niya that she cried a lot... Nag-share siya kung bakit... She had a vision daw... Nakita niya si God na pumasok sa gate ng church... Hindi Siya mag-isa... May kasama Siyang ibang Souls... As in duguduguan daw at hirap na hirap... Humihingi ng tulong... They need someone to lift them up and help them... Kinilabutan ako... Don't get me wrong ha, hindi sila multo... Vision ito... Sabi ni Ate Rose, may mga tao daw na papasok sa church with broken souls... At nag-claim kami na maging victorious ang Worship Service... Praise God for the service kanina... Amazing kung paano nag-work si God... Di man namin alam kung sino-sino ang may broken souls na nag-church kanina pero alam ko that God touched their hearts...

Anyway...

ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win somw false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it maynever be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between YOU and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway...


**Let us always remember that it is God who we should please and not other people... You will just get frustrated if you tried to please everyone.. Don't be a crowd-pleaser... Be a God -pleaser...
