The Chronicles of being a Jeddahn Citizen

It’s work work work now.

2^nd day in Jeddah. June 27, 2012, 2:21 pm. Here in my office (naks! Doing nothing just blogging.)

Kakaiba ang pakiramdam na andito na ulit ako sa lugar na ito. Di ko maexplain kung nahohomesick ba ako o sadyang nasanay lang ako sa Pinas kaya hinahanap hanap ko ung ingay ng mga tricycle, tahol ng mga aso (especially ni hatchi hehe), sigawan ng mga batang naglalaro sa labas, tunog ng jeepney, polusyon ng Maynila at Alabang-Zapote road… at higit sa lahat ang mga boses, tawa at hagikgik ng mga taong mahal ko.

Hay, ayoko maging emotional noh, kasi parang lagi naman akong bumabalik ng Jeddah at dito narin ako lumaki.. pero di ko rin maexplain bakit extra special ang pagbalik ko na to. Ang pag-alis ko nung June 25 ang isa sa pinaka-emotional na pag-alis ko ng Pinas (at sabi nga ng tatay ko, ngayon lang daw niya ko nakitang umiyak ng ganun), buong biyahe ko ata pabalik iniyak ko lang ng iniyak. Haha! Siguro kasi for the past few weeks na lumipas, di ko iniisip na aalis ako, kaya nung eto na, paalis na ko, nagbreak down na ko. The hardest part of leaving is not the act itself, but seeing the people you love and knowing that you will not see those faces for a very long time again.

Oo may skype, viber, facebook, ym, twitter, facetime, atbp. Pero ung physically mo sila makikita, iba talaga. Iba parin yung andyan ka lang at pwede mo silang mayakap at any time of the day. Kahit ung mga aso ko namimiss ko… si Hatchi and si Patchi aka Pacquiao and Bradley. Hehe! Lakas kasi magharutan nung dalawa, walang ginawa kundi magkagatan at mag-away. Nakakamiss!!! Kahit madalas akong awayin ni Hatchi, pag kinikiss niya ko namimiss ko yun. Kahit ung simpleng excited na excited silang dalawa pag nakikita ka nila nakakamiss! L Oh well, this is life. Life of being an OFW. Hindi nga madali ang buhay OFW. Akala ko dati basta ako may allowance galing kina mommy ayos na, di ko alam na mahirap pala tlaga pag ikaw na ang nasa ibang bansa at malayo sa lahat ng taong mahal mo. Yung feeling na, 365 days ang bibilangin ko bago ulit ako makauwi at bago ko ulit sila makasama. Grabe. 2 days palang to ah, pano kaya pag 2 months na.. nabaliw na siguro ako. Hehe! (Joke lang po. Strong kaya to, kasama ko si God and I know di Niya ko pababayaan. :))

Anyway, bukod sa emotional rollercoaster ride ko for the last 2 days, gusto ko tlaga mag-blog kasi hindi ko rin alam kung ano ang magiging outlet ko para irelease ang emotions ko. I’ve always been good in hiding my true emotions, pero minsan may hangganan din ako sa pagtatago. Hindi ko mapigilan ung maiyak at malungkot. I’ve been here in Jeddah for like forever but I really miss home and I really miss YOU. Simple and random things that we do, namimiss ko. If only there’s a way for us to be together again, gagawin ko. At alam kong ganun ka din. But for now, all we can do is wait… and wait patiently upon the Lord for His perfect time na magkasama ulit tayo.

Distance should never be a hindrance…

Naniniwala ako na hindi ito dapat maging issue. Na kung tunay kayong nagmamahalan, hindi magiging hadlang ang di kayo nagkikita kasi sabi nga “absence makes the heart grow fonder” and “love develops through time”. Love goes hand in hand with trust, and sabi nga ng mabuti kong kaibigan na si Ziegrey, love is just an icing in the cake; mahalaga ang trust. TIWALA sa isa’t isa na kakayanin niyo ang lahat ng bagay kahit magkalayo kayo. Alam ko babe, mahirap, pero trust me and trust God that He can do great and mighty things for us and our relationship. I know that were just starting, but we started out as good friends and I know yung foundation na yun hindi madaling matitinag. Just trust me when I say that I will wait and hindi ko hahayaan na masira yun habang magkalayo tayo.

This will test us on how far can we go and how far can we sacrifice a lot of things for the sake of us to stay together. Yes, mag-aaway tayo, yes, there will be temptations, but if we will not allow ourselves to be tempted and to let pride get in the way, we can survive this one year na masaya parin tayo and going stronger as ever.

Ewan ko, positive kasi ako, alam kong blessing tong relationship na to from GOD. I did not ask God to give me someone to love, but He knew what we both need and He knew that we need each other. But we can’t be dependent on each other kaya kailangan maghiwalay – PANSAMANTALA. J Kung ang kapalit naman nito ay magandang future diba?

This is just the beginning babe. Maraming marami pang mangyayari but let’s keep holding on and let’s keep praying together. Sabi mo nga, prayers can move mountains and it can even bring us closer without us even knowing it. I love you babe, words will never be enough.

I miss you everyday and I want you to know that I’m not going anywhere. We’ll pass this through TOGETHER. J  I love you and I  miss you. Be strong okay?

Be on your guard; stand firm in faith; be men of courage, be strong.

-          1 Corinthians 16:13

Thanks for reading! Be blessed and be a blessing! 

P.S. Takas mode sa office. salamat at pwedeng mag-blog spot pampatanggal bagot. hehe!

Unang blog para sayo :)

And I'm back... 

Makalipas ang mahigit dalawang buwan ng hindi nagsusulat at hindi nagbubukas ng blogspot, pakiramdam ko hindi na ko marunong magsulat. Haha! Pag wala ka na kasing pinag-dadaanan parang ang hirap humanap ng inspirasyon. Pero naisip ko, kailangan ba problemado o heart broken ka muna bago ka makapagsulat ng matino? Hindi ba pwedeng pag masaya din? :) Susubukan kong magsulat ulit... Nangangarap akong may sense ang aking mga sasabihin. Kung wala man, pagbigyan, blog ko to. Magsulat din kayo sa blog niyo. :D

Nagising ako kanina na parang may umuudyok sakin na buksan ang laptop at silipin ang aking blog. Infairness, simula ng nag-decide akong huwag na munang magsulat, hindi ko na muling binuksan ang aking blog. Nakakaaliw na isipin na mayroon parin palang nagbabasa nito. Umabot na ko sa 4,214 views. Nung Marso nasa 3,333 views noong huli ko itong tiningnan.  Hindi ko rin alam kung anong napapala nila sa pagbabasa ng aking blogs, ako'y lubos na nagagalak na pinagtuunan nila ng pansin ang blog ko kahit mas marami pang mahalagang bagay na gawin at basahin. Salamat po sa inyong suporta. (Feeling artista?)


Maiba tayo... 

God has been so good to me this past two months, He showed me that if I remain in His words and if I trust Him, He will shower me with blessings I cannot even contain. True to that, ako na ata ang sumusuko sa lahat ng blessings na binibigay Niya sakin. Siksik, liglig, at umaapaw nga eh! Haha! Kidding aside, I can never be thankful enough for I have a BIG God. A God who will and always will provide all my needs, and will and always will give me the best. ♥♥

Si Sir Yuan. :) 

Hindi ko hiningi, pero binigay Niya. Hindi ko hinanap, pero dumating. God truly moves in mysterious ways. Thank You Lord. :) Akalain mong andyan lang pala sa tabi-tabi (literal!).  The long wait is finally over, andito ka na, alam kong may dahilan kung bakit ka Niya binigay sakin. Madaming mga bagay na hindi ko maiintindihan, pero if there's one thing na nagpapasalamat talaga ako, I was given this one more chance to open my heart to someone else. I know this will be a long and challenging one, but let's make it worth the wait. Sabi nga, PAIN is inevitable, so kung susugal ka nalang din, siguraduhin mong sa tamang tao na. I will not make any raw conclusions, I am just hopeful that this relationship will last and will stay strong. Lahat tayo nangangarap na makatagpo ng tao na makakasundo mo, magiging kaibigan mo, makikinig sayo at tatanggapin ka ng buong buo. 


Talagang nakatulong din na magkaibigan na tayo dati pa, mas kilala na natin ang isa’t isa.  Wala na yung awkward stage. Akalain mo nga naman, dati shock absorber lang natin ang isa't isa pagdating sa ating kanya-kanyang lablyf, kabiruan, kakulitan, kausap hanggang madaling araw, barkada, "close" friend... Hanggang ngayon, napapaisip parin ako, hindi ko parin maisip pano nangyari ang mga bagay-bagay. HAHA! Talagang mapapa-Thank You Lord ka na nga lang talaga! Magugulat ka talaga na Ibibigay nya sayo at the right place, at the right time... Kapag handa ka na at kapag alam mo sa sarili mo gusto mo na talaga. Kumbaga, this is it Lord, I'm ready. :)

Pakiramdam ko napaka-babaw ng naisulat ko, hindi ko kasi kayang iexplain or iexpress sa ngayon ang gusto ko talagang sabihin. Parang speechless. Parang masayang-masaya ka kasi, ayaw mo siya matapos o  mawala. Ganun ata talaga, some words are better left unsaid. Hindi lahat ng oras kailangan ma-explain, hindi lahat ng oras may tamang words na mag-fi-fit sa nararamdaman mo. Tanging ikaw lamang ang nakakaalam ng tunay mong nararamdaman.

Hahanap pa ko siguro ng tamang timing para sa iba ko pang gustong sabihin (marami pa actually haha!). At least sa ngayon, nakapagumpisa na ulit akong magsulat. Siguro pagdating ko sa Jeddah makakapagsulat na ko ng maayos, kasabay ng pagbaha ng luha sa pagiging homesick (HAHA!) ang pagbaha ng mga salitang nais kong sabihin. Haha!

I can only hope and pray that this is not just a phase. And I strongly believe it's not. I know God has a plan for me, and I know that it’s always for the better. 

I cannot speak I’ve lost my voice. I’m speechless and redundant cause I LOVE YOU is not enough, I’m lost for words. (nuks!)

Basta SALAMAT. Alam mo na kung bakit. :) 

ILYu :) 

Salamat sa pagbasa! 

Sa uulitin :) 

Be blessed! :) 

Day 11: Are you waiting in vain?

Wait PATIENTLY upon the LORD 

For the past few days, God has been revealing this certain message to me and it speaks about WAITING. And not just simply waiting.. but waiting patiently upon the Lord. There are some things in our life that we can't explain and most of the time waiting is the hardest part. Ang hirap kayang maghintay ng maghintay tapos yun pala hindi naman pala para sayo. Eh mas lalong mahirap maghintay kung maling bagay/tao naman pala yung hinihintay mo. And as what I always say, PATIENCE is a virtue... We need to master the art of endurance. That despite the struggles of waiting patiently, we can endure all things and we can hold on to God's promises. It is written: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13

Wag kang NEGA! 

TOP 5: I've been waiting for 
(Nakakarelate ka?)

5: Waiting for that one text/call: Sino ang hindi makakarelate sakin dito? 

Scenario: Bakit hindi siya nagrereply?

May pinagdarasal ka kay God na babae/lalaki, gustong-gusto mo na siya. Umaasa ka na dahil sa prayers mo na yan ay magugustuhan ka din nya. Pero parang kahit anong gawin mo ay hindi ka nya napapansin. Tinadtad mo na ng text messages, tinatawagan mo pa... Pero parang ayaw pa rin. Nakakafrustrate diba? Ganyan talaga... Matuto kang maghintay. Baka naman iyong taong napupusuan mo ay hindi pa handa sa relationship kaya hindi ka nya pinapansin kahit anong pagpapansin mo. Kahit titigan mo maghapo't magdamag ang cell phone mo, eh kung hindi ka nya gustong sagutin eh hindi yan sasagot. Kaya kung tunay ngang malinis ang hangarin mo sa kanya, maghihintay ka. Kahit gaanong katagal pa yan, para lang sa isang reply nya. Wag kang susuko na gumawa ng paraan, pero kung talagang sinabi na nya sayo na ayaw niya... Eh wag ka ding makulit. Intindihin mo siya, at patuloy lang ang pagdarasal baka malay mo hindi pala siya ang para sayo, may better pa na ibibigay sayo si Lord. :)  

4: Waiting for that one result: Pasado ba o hindi? Positive or negative?

Scenario #1: EXAMS

Kakatapos lang ng exams, pakiramdam mo nag-aral ka naman... Kaya siyempre umaasa kang pasado ka. Kahit anong exam pa yan, ang pinakamatagal na oras ay ang oras ng paglabas ng results. Kumbaga, make or break. It's either you pass or you fail. Siyempre walang gustong mag-fail. Kaya ang pag-aabang ng resulta ng isang exam ang isa sa mga pinaka-nakakafrustrate na oras sa ating buhay. Akala mo ba na pagkatapos mo mag-exam ay tapos narin ang hirap? Nagkakamali ka, kasi ang mas mahirap ay ang maghintay kung pasado ka o hindi. Pero hindi ka dapat ma-frustrate o mainip.. Kasi kung tunay ngang nag-aral ka, o kung naniniwala ka na ipapasa mo ang exam na yun... Mangyayari yun. Maniwala ka sa sarili mo na kaya mo at siyempre wag kang makakalimot magdasal. Do your part and God will do the rest. 

Scenario #2: Medical results

Kung tayo ay may nararamdaman o karamdaman, ang paghihintay ng results ng ating mga medical exams ay nakakakaba. Umaasa tayong maganda ang resulta at normal lahat ng findings. Para naman sa mga nag-aaply, nakakafrustrate din ang paghihintay ng results ng medical exam. Kasi kapag bumagsak ka sa medical, parang sinabi mo narin na wala ka ng pag-asang matanggap sa trabaho. Pero eto ang realidad ng buhay, kailangan nating maghintay. We have to wait patiently upon the Lord. If we believe in God and then we also believe in His power of healing and restoration. Kaya kung ikaw ay may karamdaman, just believe that you will be healed and you will, In Jesus name. Don't ever give up on God because he will show you great and mighty things. You just got to have faith. 

3: Waiting for that one JOB: Career growth?

Scenario: I want a good-paying job.

Ang tagal-tagal mo na sa company mo pero parang wala kang nakukuhang personal and career growth. Pagdating sa compensation, parang lugi ka pa. Pagdating sa trabaho, parang ang dami-dami mong ginagawa. Mapapaisip ka talaga, "Lord, eto na ba yung trabaho na para sa akin? Bakit hindi na ako masaya?" Madalas nangyayari yan sa atin, kahit ako ilang beses ko din yang naranasan. Likas sa atin ang discontentment, we always want more. Pero siyempre pagdating sa trabaho, gusto natin ng growth diba? So hindi masama na mangarap ng mas magandang trabaho dahil para rin naman yun sa kinabukasan natin. Pero kelan nga ba natin ma-aachieve yung career growth na sinasabi nila? When will we stop aiming for more? When will we say that we've finally found this one job that will be able to sustain us and all of our needs? Well, may sagot ako para dyan... Ihiling mo yan kay God and definitely, iyong ibibigay niya sayo... it's a job worth taking and worth having. Just wait patiently upon the Lord and he will grant the desires of your heart. God wants us to be successful and blessed, so kung may dinedesire ka na mas magandang trabaho... Wag kang mahihiya na ipagpray yan kay God, in His perfect time... He will give it to you. Kung para sayo, para sayo yan. Wag ka lang mag-doubt at mainip, there is a perfect timing for everything. :) 

2: Waiting for that SOUL MATE. Lord, asan na siya? 

Scenario: Who's my better half? 

Lahat tayo, especially tayong mga single, we pray and wait earnestly for THE ONE. Pero alam ba ninyo na hindi dapat tayo ang gumagawa ng paraan para mahanap ang nakatakda para sa atin? Sabi nga, don't find love... let love find you. If that person is meant for you, God will make a way for your paths to cross and for you to meet. Love comes at the most unexpected times. Hindi maganda kung pinipilit natin ang mga bagay-bagay kasi minsan hindi maganda ang kinakalabasan nito and you will end up with a broken heart. If this person is for you, no one could ever separate you. Do not be in a hurry because TRUE LOVE WAITS. Being single is still a blessing, you will get to enjoy certain perks that you won't enjoy when your in a relationship. At ang partner, dinedesire yan... Pinagppray. Hindi sugod lang ng sugod. If you desire someone right now, pray for that person. Ask God to reveal to you his plans and ask God for signs. He will lead you the right person and this person will definitely be the best partner that you could ever have. Hindi tayo bibigyan ni God ng puchu-puchu lang, ibibigay niya iyong THE BEST among THE REST. So, do not wait in vain. Enjoy being single while it's there and when the right time comes, you will enjoy God's blessings through your soul mate. :) 

1: Waiting for that one PRAYER: Yes, No, or Wait?

Scenario: Answered Prayer? 

We have been praying for this one prayer and it seems like God does not listen. Ilang araw, ilang buwan, ilang taon mo ng pinagdarasal pero wala paring sagot. Maybe God really does not listen to our prayers. But on the contrary, he listens. He actually knows our every need and he will provide our every need. But it always depends on the motives of our hearts. Is this prayer a need or a want? Is it for the good or for the bad? Minsan kasi, dasal tayo ng dasal about things na hindi pala makakabuti para sa atin or sa kapwa natin. We have to pray for the right things and we have to wait for God's timing. Be joyful always. Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18. Sabi nga, pray continually. Just wait patiently upon the Lord, kung hindi pa nya sinasagot ang prayer mo ngayon... Maybe he has a better plan for you. Wag kang mawawalan ng pag-asa because we never know what God's purpose may be but always keep in mind that it's always for the better. We may not understand right now bakit  hindi tayo tinutugon ng Diyos pero in time we will understand and we will be amazed on how he will work in our lives if we will just allow him to. God will answer in three ways, it may be a Yes, No, or Wait. He is teaching us to be patient and to be fully dependent on Him. 

Do not wait in vain

Most of us wait in vain and in frustration but God does not want us to be like the rest of the world. While waiting let us rejoice, while waiting let us continue to serve Him, while waiting let us still praise and give thanks. Kung hindi pa man sinasagot ang ating mga panalangin, there's a reason and a purpose why. God will bless us in many ways and wag nating tingnan yung isang aspeto lang ng ating buhay. Always look at the bigger picture and always lift everything to God. Pray with a clean motive and a sincere heart... God will listen, don't ever give up on God because he never gave up on you. :) 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper tie we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. 

Galatians 6: 9 - 10 

While God is silent, we are still to WORSHIP and SERVE HIM! 

Thanks for reading!

Be blessed and be a blessing! :) 

Day 10: When it RAINS, it POURS

God said, "Test me on this!"

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

"Test me on this," says the Lord Almighty, "And see if I will not throw open the 

floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it. 

- Malachi 3:10

I will not be writing about giving nor tithing, but rather I will be writing about BLESSINGS. In our everyday lives, how often do we feel blessed? How often do we feel that we are so thankful that we are alive? How often do we receive the blessings coming from God? Do we really feel that we are blessed? Well, if your answer to this certain question is NO, better think again... The fact that you are still alive and kicking, is enough reason to be thankful. :)

For the past 5 months that I've been here in Jeddah, I have been asking God, "Lord, what is your purpose on why I am here?". Honestly, finding a permanent job here in Jeddah was not as easy as I thought it will be. I even reached the point of depression, thinking that I will never find a job here and all I wanted to do was give up and go back home. But then again, God always reminds me that His ways are higher than my ways, and his thoughts are higher than my thoughts... There are a lot of things that I myself cannot control, only God can. Truly God will move in ways that are beyond our control, and all we can say is... God, You are so great. Thank You for blessing me much more than I deserve!

National Guard :)

They say, PATIENCE is a virtue. And yes, it is true. God really taught me how to be patient knowing that I am very impatient by nature. He taught me that by waiting upon Him and His perfect will for me, I will be more prepared when blessings come. And yes, it is true, at the most unexpected times... at the lowest points in my life where I really felt neglected, depressed, frustrated, and abandoned... That's when God worked in my life mightily. That's when He showed me that "Hey, believe in me and I will show you great and mighty things."

All along I thought I will never find a permanent job here in Jeddah, but God is great. He is so good to me because just when I'm about to give up, He blessed me with a promise of a future. Of a good future here in Jeddah. He gave me National Guard... and then there's King Faisal waiting on the other end as well. I am so blessed. Truly, when it rains, it will pour. When you are faithful to his word, he will pour down all the blessings that you cannot even contain. He will shower you with love that you cannot even imagine. Right now, all I can mutter is a word of praise and thanksgiving to our God because truly he is able and he will never fail us. He never sleeps, he has perfect timing for everything. :)

Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,

and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

And God is able to make all grace bound to you, 

so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, 

you will abound in every good work. 

- 2 Corinthians 9: 6, 8 

Thanks for reading!

Be blessed and be a blessing! :) 

Day 9: I can't get no SATISFACTION

The Secret of Being CONTENT

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well-fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. 

- Philippians 4: 11-13

Am I contented? I can not honestly say that "YES, I've reached the point of CONTENTMENT and SATISFACTION that I could not ask for anything more." I am still in the flesh and yes, I am still battling this human and carnal experience of  well, being a human. We, as humans, will never be contented in what we have. We will always ask for more, we will always want more, we will always strive for more. That's a fact and a sad reality. We are never contented with what we have even if we have so much already. There is no satisfaction in our lives.

Writing about CONTENTMENT is a challenge for me because I know for a fact that I am not yet contented in what I have may it be materially, physically, or even spiritually. There are still a lot of things that I want to do for myself, there are still a lot of things that I want to do for my family, there are still a lot of things that I want to give and do for GOD. I want to do all these things but I always don't have enough. I always want more but I still can't get it. That's discontentment. And I'm guilty of it. 

We are in a world of modernization were everything around us is changing every single day. Ang daming bagong labas na gadgets, ang daming nauusong fashion, ang daming bagong gamit. TECHNOLOGY, it's never ending. Let's say, bumili ako ng Iphone 3G ngayon, after 2 to 3 months, andyan na at lumabas na ang Iphone 4. Pagkabili ko ng Iphone 4, may bagong labas nanaman ng Iphone 4s. Kung ikaw ang buyer, maiinis ka kasi pabago-bago ng model, pamahal ng pamahal ang presyo at nahihirapan kang mag-cope sa trend ng technology. This is the sad reality that everyone of us faces everyday. 

Now, how can we actually reach the point of contentment? If we will read this verse in Philippians, it is actually very simple. Living and dying JOYFULLY in Christ Jesus is the secret of being content. That whatever the circumstances may be, we can still PRAISE GOD, we can still THANK HIM, and we can still SHOW LOVE towards others - that's SPIRITUAL CONTENTMENT. 

In this life, we will always have our UPS and DOWNS. As they say, LIFE is a one big roller coaster ride, sometimes your UP and sometimes your DOWN. But what Paul is trying to say in Philippians is that in times that we experience TRIUMPHS and BLESSINGS, Praise GOD. In times of DEFEAT and TRIALS, still praise GOD. That's the secret of being content, that we are happy with whatever that's happening around us simply because our life is solely dedicated to Christ. That we are in a situation wherein we want to live fully for Christ. That we are pressing towards that GOAL, and that GOAL is to live eternally with CHRIST. 

Ang sarap siguro ng pakiramdam na masasabi natin sa ating mga sarili na "masaya na ako" simply because I have GOD in my life. He is more than enough. It is written, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all this things will be added unto you as well (Matthew 6:33). If we seek GOD and if we surrender all to God right now, I know and I believe that GOD will do miracles in our lives. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. So never ever give up even when you are in a very low point in your life, always remember that someone greater than us is willing to carry us and listen to us. Truly how great our GOD is. I will never stop praising His name because He is truly an awesome, awesome GOD. 

Again, I can not fully say that I've reached this point of contentment, but I am striving and I am learning in the process. I believe and I pray that one day I can truly and earnestly say that I am happy with what I have simply because I have GOD in my life. That no material thing can ever surpass this HAPPINESS and JOY in the presence of our LORD. I pray right now that whoever will read my blog will also dig down deep within your souls... Let us check ourselves, how far did we allow GOD to move in our lives? How much do we need in order for us to truly say, "Yes I am Satisfied"? We will always be tempted, the devil will never stop... But if we have Christ in our hearts, we are more than conquerors. We will OVERCOME. :) 

Those who face that which is actually before them, 

unburdened by the past, undistracted by the future,

these are they who live, who make the best use of their lives;

these are those who have found the secret of CONTENTMENT. 

- Alban Goodler 

P.S. I will be sharing another preaching of Pastor Bong Saquing of CCF and he shared about CONTENTMENT. He will explain further on how we can reach this point of satisfaction in our lives, that all we need is CHRIST and CHRIST alone. I hope you learn something from him as I learn from his preachings. I praise and thank GOD for the lives of our preachers, truly they are used mightily by GOD as a channel of blessing and inspiration for all of us. Never stop learning, for in the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. :) 

Enjoy watching, be BLESSED and be a BLESSING!
