If there is one thing I want to tell men — youth, single and married alike — is that they ought to be men of courage. We all know that courage is not not being afraid, but going ahead and doing something despite the fear and despite the challenge.Courage after all, stems from faith. How courageous oneContinue reading “Courage of A King”

10X
Our new series in church is 10X, all about the next generation. While listening to the preaching yesterday, I was close to tears. Aside from Ptr Jonathan’s touching story about his brave teenage daughter KC who went through so much as a child, operations for her cleft palate and scoliosis, bullying and isolation because sheContinue reading “10X”
Who are you?
About a month ago, I had the privilege to teach about Identity to the youth ladies of our church. As I was studying my notes and figuring out how to share my testimony, God reminded me about a tweet I posted: PURPOSE determines your priorities. In your IDENTITY lies your security. It was a nuggetContinue reading “Who are you?”
S.T.O.P.
Youth, singles. Please. Just stop. STOP…. S.elling yourself. You are not an item, a thing, a possession. You are not a piece of meat. Do not degrade or belittle yourself. You are valuable. Precious. Worth waiting for. Blood-bought by no less than the King of kings. Loved. Accepted. There is no need to advertise, toContinue reading “S.T.O.P.”
What’s The Point?
It was King’s birthday the other day. I was thinking all day what we could do for him when he’d get home from work, until I decided to use the money I had set aside, to give to him as our gift. Noelle told me to just buy him a gift, but I really didn’tContinue reading “What’s The Point?”
H.O.N.O.R.
King and I were invited to speak to the youth of Muntinlupa in their leaders’ summit last year. I had the privilege to share about H.O.N.O.R. to the women. And believe me when I say, I preach to myself as well. H.UMBLE. A person who comes from a place of honor comes from a placeContinue reading “H.O.N.O.R.”
Witnessing Kids Grow Up
It’s such a joy to witness how children grow up. Kids I’ve known since they were little, like 2 years old or so, are now teenagers! One such kid is Trey Remulla. I met Trey when I became friends with his mom, Michelle, in 2001. He was 2 years old (met him before he turnedContinue reading “Witnessing Kids Grow Up”
Questions and Motives
King bought himself the latest NBA game for xbox just recently. He was playing last night while I was on my iPad, and the girls were all over the place coloring, drawing, playing and checking out what we were doing. At one point, both girls came near me to see my game and then Noelle,Continue reading “Questions and Motives”
On Typhoons, Disasters, and Kind Hearts
In the last 6 years, there have been typhoons that caused major disasters in our country. 3 stick out in my mind. >;Milenyo in 2006. Danae, 11 months old, was in the hospital for Pneumonia when it hit. >;Ondoy in 2009. It was Noelle’s baby dedication the week it hit, and we went to CagayanContinue reading “On Typhoons, Disasters, and Kind Hearts”
A Bag of Nuts
Last Thursday, we went to a clinic to get some tests done for Noelle. We need clearance from her pediatrician so we can have her dental procedure done as soon as possible. On the way there, we bought a bag of boiled peanuts. My girls have recently taken a liking to them, though they haveContinue reading “A Bag of Nuts”
