God calls, Gal writes

We all have our New Year’s Resolutions right? So, for me, as the title already gave away, I failed on my first day. Or should I say, I found another way in trying and it didn’t work. I said that 2021 should be a better year for me, in terms of my health. One of my resolutions was to start getting fit and active again. I even bought new running shoes so that I could start jogging. But today,…

Yes, this time, I felt the Lord speak to me through stale, old bread. Okay, so here’s what I usually do. I buy a big loaf of bread. When I do that, I check the “expiry” date, and make sure that it would last us about a week. 3 lang kami sa bahay, and my daughter would usually just eat 1 to 2 slices a day, while me and the hubby would make 1 sandwich a day. Minsan hindi pa everyday. Anyway, to…

Revolutionize The Way You Pray

Here we discuss the meaning of the prayer “OUR FATHER.” It’s one thing that we memorize this familiar prayer, but it’s another to understand it. So, just as the apostles asked Jesus how to pray, let’s ask Him to help us how to understand this prayer more. First, we talked about how this prayer is two things: relational and revolutionary. Relational because it shows the intimate relationship that…

I’m definitely no #Plantita, but I’m just feeling a little proud of this accomplishment. Hahaha! Guys, don’t expect, snake plants lang pinatubo ko at napadami ko. Initially, I got 6 potted plants from my mom: a fortune plant, a money tree, 2 snake plants and 2 of those with pink and green leaves. Patay na ung pink and green leaves, huhu! We used to have a “garden” pero I’m super tinamad na to…

Live In God’s Generosity

  Last week, our one big message is “You are a factory of miracles.”

As a factory, we are not provided the finished product. Rather, God provides the raw materials, which are in the form of provisions, talents, and other gifts. We process and use these raw materials to become miracles for ourselves and for others.

We all live…

WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART HEAVY?

I was able to attend an online mass earlier, something I have yet to be consistent on doing daily. Ang galing lang talaga ni Lord. Na kahit minsan lang ako makapag-mass, He will make sure na sulit na sulit ako sa pagdalo ko. I bet sa inyo rin.

Super *bang* sa akin itong tanong ni Fr. Dave. Personally, I think, madami akong load. Mental load, emotional load, spiritual…

Just Say The Word

Disclaimer: This was posted in the Feast Bulletin, Sept. 20, 2020

  After His sermon in the Mount, Jesus put His words into practice. Our key passage, taken from Matthew 8:5-13, was about Jesus meeting a Centurion along the road, the latter asking for the miracle of healing for his servant from the former. In this passage, Jesus preached again as He practiced these three lessons from previous…

One night, during my bible study with some HS batch mates, we talked about David and Goliath. Our passage was derived from 1 Samuel 17:1-58. (Btw, kudos to Jac who presented it very well, super ang dami kong gustong iresearch now about that story. hehe!) One batchmate mentioned a book that I’ve read a while back (and planning to read again), David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell. This book…

Natawa lang po ako at natuwa kaya isheshare ko lang po. Parang ang lakas lang din po kasi ng anointing ng holy spirit sa anak namin. I guess I was amused that the Spirit within her is very strong. I was asking her to read from a piece of paper. One of the words was “Shoulders,” but it was a long word, and I thought it was still a bit beyond her comprehension. So I tapped her shoulders, to give…

When Opening Up Gives Closure

(Disclaimer: just because I’m sharing it today doesn’t mean I’m not yet okay. I am able to share because I believe I have been healed. [The draft was also written weeks ago na. ] Also this was originally posted in my personal Facebook page)Back in 2015, I left the last corporate job I had. During the Good Friday, I shared the reason I left, and that I had this unforgiveness in my heart for my…

Okay, so basically, God somehow spoke to me when I was frying bacon for breakfast earlier… Minsan talaga you have to be sensitive to God’s cues din on when He will give you some lessons eh, hihihi! See, today was the first time I got to actually cook bacon, hehe! And whenever I fry something, I expect it to come out of the fryer, of course, already cooked and crisp. But for the bacon, hindi ganun…

I Want To Be A Reader

It’s a fact that an adult’s comprehension is super different with that of a child. But I would believe that sometimes, kids are more mature than adults. I have written an old blog about dreaming deep instead of dreaming big. It was about a time when we asked Sofie what she wants to be when she grows up. She would tell us that she wants to be a happy helper. Lately, her answer is “I want to be…

Of Online Resellers and Barter Clubs

This pandemic talaga has brought about a lot of good ideas from everyone. We’ve learned how to stretch our resources, or find new ways to earn them! One of the ways is online reselling. I am one of those who resell. Why do I resell? (or not resell?) Well, honestly, I don’t have my own product. I don’t have time to make anything, and I am actually not confident that what I cook or create would…

My Favorite Sale Event

(Disclaimer: Original entry was posted in my personal blog in Facebook, facebook.com/bevzdg.blog) Mahilig ako mag-shopping. Pero I’m not the type who’d go for clothes, bags, and shoes. Pwede pa siguro nung single ako, gel pens and notebooks, and even books! Not until about 10 years ago, medyo nagbago na yung sale event na gusto ko. Nagtransition na din ako to Supermarket sale events. But…

The first time I encountered the term anointed tribulator was during one of our LG (light group) sessions. We did not have a specific definition for it, and during our LG, we somehow defined it based on the examples we were able to give:

That boss who is usually unreasonable, giving you tasks that are outside the scope of your responsibilities and current capabilities; that manager who questions…

(This is a long one. If you’re not into Korean dramas, you’ll find this boring and self-centered. Ahehehe!) I have never watched this much Korean Drama in my entire life! I remember to have even sworn off watching because they’re just a bunch of corny story lines and it’s a bastion of plastic surgery regulars. But, long ago, after the Asianovela craze began with Meteor Garden(which, by the…
