We believe that these are the very attributes that we hope our ROCK facilitators serving in KFC will imbibe.Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.comBlogger28125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-46607644031686957682011-09-29T17:51:00.003+08:002011-09-29T17:56:49.710+08:00How is the state of you HEART?Faith will save you. Church says that our faith will save us.<br />
<br />
We hear people saying that if you love the Lord and you are faithful to Him you must do things excellently in order for Him to be glorified, things such as events, activities, work, studies and many more because God deserve all the best. =)<br />
<br />
But God reminded us that being good in many things will not be the basis of our salvation. Even if we are good in many things (e.g. events, activities and etc.) it will be our heart that will be the basis of our faithfulness. (How and what is the state of your heart?). <br />
<br />
It is not on how you excellently done all those things but it’s about the state of your heart while doing all those things. After all the Lord will not ask you how well you are while you are still alive and playing your role as his/her servant but the Lord will ask you how was the state of your heart doing all those things for me.. Is it happy, joyful, grateful, thankful and full of love and Gladness? Or it might be angry, troubled, confused, doubted or even just doing it for the sake of doing it.<br />
<br />
God said, “Give your all to me”, but He means all your heart because a real heart is willing to sacrifice, a real heart can give his/her all to the Lord.("You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6:5)<br />
<br />
It is our will to please the Lord but not only on what can we give but rather how was the state of our heart while giving our all to Him? By our Faith we will have salvation, but it will all start in the condition of our heart everyday. <br />

Truly rocks build a church, a home, a family and bring forth new hope for us – and hope for everyone who follows Jesus.<br /><br />Let me pertain the rock to the kids we are serving – the kids that others may know; less capacitated, unable to understand, unable to lead, and unable to bring forth Hope. But now, in a different perspective we give them the chance to prove that they have the ability to lead, to serve and to protect. Yes! Kids can!<br /><br />In my past few year of my service in the KFC Ministry, God let me experienced how He will use his children to renew the face of this world. These children; though little, unable, and incapacitated helps in the very simple way that they knew. They motivate and inspire other with their smiles. They play and sing songs of love that expresses how truly God loves us.<br /><br />They give chance to happiness and when we see it, we are calmly reminded that we too have to enjoy ourselves and give chance to happiness over burdens and busyness of our work. They reminded us that love is with God and loving means loving those who are weak and in need of love.<br /><br />They too helped rebuild broken families and help build close families. They serve as the rope which ties one family to be in complete union with each other and with God. They helped, they cooperate, they appreciate, and they live each morning with hope and with a smile.<br /><br />Truly, Kids can make a difference. And as the rock goes, soon they will lead us. These children will serve as a strong foundation that neither evil can prevail against it. Let’s challenge ourselves to be one with them in building and rebuilding this nation, this country and this planet.<br /><br /><br /><br />John Paul “POY” GambaReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-31420458184372557242010-12-03T15:10:00.000+08:002011-09-29T15:28:28.843+08:00Christmas is here<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Dk9tITCBF1H56Y9OlyDnxDu-bQhJmF99yLDk4KyYZVJm2irWgyxowTIkanXWnR0dz5PCL3VMtUUTXnMw7O7Owmd-fdVI6myLgKVICJSOBqA-lGgWPg5OX_IHp-tgavndPcGXa1s3Vyc/s1600/pia.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 281px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Dk9tITCBF1H56Y9OlyDnxDu-bQhJmF99yLDk4KyYZVJm2irWgyxowTIkanXWnR0dz5PCL3VMtUUTXnMw7O7Owmd-fdVI6myLgKVICJSOBqA-lGgWPg5OX_IHp-tgavndPcGXa1s3Vyc/s320/pia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546353143037950274" /></a><br /> What comes into your mind when you hear the word Christmas? How do you feel knowing that it’s getting near? Me, I can’t help it, but everytime I hear this word, it gives me a jolly feeling. Knowing that the holiday season is about to come, I, myself, feels so inspired. It uplifts my spirit. Can you already feel that Christmas is just around the corner?<br /> <br /> I grew up getting used to the thought that Christmas is for new clothes, new shoes, everything new. Christmas shopping, parties here and there and lots of gifts from friends and ‘aguinaldos’ from godparents. Back then, when I was younger, I can still remember doing house to house together with my siblings and cousins asking for ‘pamasko’. We even go to houses which we barely knew the owners. We sometimes attend the ‘Misa de Gallo’ but we rarely completed it. However, we make it to a point that we are one family when we attend the mass on the day of Christmas itself. Things were as simple as that during my childhood.<br /> <br /> My thinking towards the holiday changes as I grew older. When I entered college, I promised myself to save up money to be able to buy gifts and goodies for my family and friends during the holiday season. I said to myself, it’s time for me to give instead of receiving. I managed to save up and give gifts to them every Christmas. I don’t give expensive gifts. When I’m doing my Christmas shopping, I always make it to the point that my gift will be useful even for the whole year round to the person with whom I’m giving it to. I personally believe the saying, “it’s the thought that counts”. And I’m not from a very well off family so I cannot afford to send gifts to my friends and relatives abroad. For me sending personal messages that is genuinely from my heart just for them to know that I still remember them during this time of the year is already a very good gift.<br /><br /> The feeling of fulfillment is very outrageous when you give. Personally, when I give gifts, I get the ‘high’ feeling. I don’t know, but I really am very happy. I feel so light. I think that is the reason for Christmas: GIVING. In the very first place, always remember that Christmas is the time that God the Father gave Jesus to us. It was the moment that Jesus Christ was born.<br /><br /> I once encountered a note a couple of years ago, and yet I can still remember the idea that the note is trying to inculcate to the mind of whoever might be reading it. It was a conversation between Jesus and Santa Claus. Jesus said to Santa that He is actually sad because people are looking forward for the gifts that Santa would be bringing instead of celebrating His birthday. Right then and there, I came to realize that people nowadays tends to forget the real meaning of Christmas. <br /><br /> Let us not forget that Christmas is not just for new clothes, new shoes, gifts, parties, any material things, instead, Christmas is for us to celebrate the birth of Christ which also shows God’s never ending love for us. It is the time of the year to thank Father God for giving Christ to us. Let us always be reminded that it is the time that love and the spirit of giving must be abundant in all of us.<br /><br /> Can you feel the warm breezy feeling of Yuletide season? Isn’t it nice to feel the warm embrace of the gusty wind in lieu of the holidays? How are you going to be the evidence of God’s love to others?<br /><br /><br />Pia Yango <br />Metro ManilaReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-22684967578846756052010-11-21T23:59:00.000+08:002010-11-22T00:04:53.456+08:00YES to the Lord<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtkcTRw7GMiv_WnUvTCoFHEfNnksYY1IcmP9CnmuUJ685aydt4bXm9ehNbWMDMuhoBXn5GuQh87riH15L_c631RH9aQmmYKdko3VbL4FzBI62YSvhKNC6mXnicoEH2MEm4IAbnYmi6R8w/s1600/g.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtkcTRw7GMiv_WnUvTCoFHEfNnksYY1IcmP9CnmuUJ685aydt4bXm9ehNbWMDMuhoBXn5GuQh87riH15L_c631RH9aQmmYKdko3VbL4FzBI62YSvhKNC6mXnicoEH2MEm4IAbnYmi6R8w/s320/g.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542034481457360018" /></a><br />God gave me so many mission trips. All the trips were so great. From these experiences, God also gave me obstacles on how I will handle it. He will test my faith. Sometimes He will give me financial challenges, transportation problem, and availability of other missionaries. But when God planned it, it will be successful no matter what happen.<br /><br />God shows me lot of things and I believe it will be the start for me to make miracles for other people. I may feel tired and hopeless, but God will never leave me.<br /><br />Just say YES to the Lord and He will do the rest.:)<br /><br /><br /><br />Joseph Noel R.

I had mixed feeling, there were excitement (I’m going to meet many coordinators and facilitators), nervous (at the first place, I don’t know what exactly im going to do) , fear ( I don’t know what can I give) , doubt (I am that worthy to have this BIG responsibility, task, and mission?) , but I know I am happy because I am going to do many things for the Lord.<br /><br />Almost every day I am traveling going to different provinces to meet with the KFC couple coordinators and facilitators. It was a great experienced and really it made me realized of many things, things that made me closer to the Lord, more dependent in Him and one of these realizations is that, it is necessary to seek for my purpose “every day”.<br /><br />What really is my purpose and why the Lord allowed me to wake up and gives me another new day? For what, for whom? (does any of you tried to ask the Lord that same question everyday?)<br /><br />The Lord is really good and generous at all times, he have given us everything we need. Because, everything in you right now is what you have asked the Lord! <br />Come to think of it?<br /><br />The Lord so loves us that even we are always committing sins and sometimes sins that are done “again and again”, and still He is always there offering His forgiving hands.<br /><br />But are we doing things that please Him everyday?<br /><br />In my mission, I’ve realized that I need to know my purpose everyday. As I go out in my room, it should be clear to me of my purpose in that day. In the book “purpose driven life” the author wrote that one of the purpose why God made the humans because He wanted somebody who will HONOR, PRAISE, WORSHIP AND PLEASE HIM because He is the God of the universe, the alpha and omega, the creator of heaven and earth, and simply because He is the Lord! <br /><br />Now the question is, in what way we can Honor, praise, worship and please the Lord everyday?<br /><br />It is like courtship. Bringing flowers, giving chocolates, make things that will impress the girl. Again, it’s like courtship that you do everything just to please the girl. <br /><br />Exactly, doing things like that will please our God.<br /><br />Do good, be good, to your family & friends, to your school, to your office work and doing good everyday!<br /><br />Be prayerful, loving, obedient, respectful, diligent, generous, honest everyday! <br /><br />God said in His greatest commandment “Love one another. Just as I have Loved you, you also must love one another. john 13:34” <br /><br />God is reminding us to do His commandment and be good at all times, do good at all times. In this way we can please our God. We can Honor and Glorify Him. It not about the name or rich or fame you will achieve but it is about how true your heart is in serving the Lord. It's about giving your all to the Creator.<br /><br /> It is very hard to embrace our enemy but it is possible. The Lord is continuing to remind us to follow His Life. And this is our purpose everyday. <br /><br /><br />God bless us all!Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-27885282364992110712010-08-24T17:27:00.000+08:002010-08-24T17:48:49.588+08:00Aug. 23, 2010 (sad event )<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhdufEmLChJF-r8ps2OV26p1s-D_8kP6xKJHMphiLckMTiqpC14zT44vmivvT8HjbVAA1qbcp_JST9PddNHRePsIFu7mc6v6il765dvjlW2rbE0cgbHuEr_kNIoX5oMKNuJz0OxNDMoaY/s1600/956100165.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 221px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhdufEmLChJF-r8ps2OV26p1s-D_8kP6xKJHMphiLckMTiqpC14zT44vmivvT8HjbVAA1qbcp_JST9PddNHRePsIFu7mc6v6il765dvjlW2rbE0cgbHuEr_kNIoX5oMKNuJz0OxNDMoaY/s320/956100165.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508911080611143362" /></a><br /><br />a sad event happened..<br />this will really be part and known for Philippine History..<br /><br />A police captain, who has been dismissed in his job and position, hostage a tourist bus in Quirino Grandstand..<br />it took for almost 12 hours..<br />from 8am - 8pm (i guess)<br /><br />there were changing of firing..<br />on the side of Cap.

Before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5<br /><br />One bible verse says it all. A single verse that is reflective of who we all are in this ministry. A verse that gives justice on what we are doing. A one-liner that enlightens each and every one of us. A powerful verse that gives affirmation that what and where we are now are all works of God.<br /><br />This verse became my liking when I stumbled upon it while looking for an anchor verse for one of our assemblies this August. Noting this verse, I browsed upon the Chapter Assembly Manual and looked for a topic near (or applicable) to the bible verse. Lo and behold, one topic have exactly the same verse - In Pursuit of the Purpose. I was caught off-guarded when I read the outline. It seems like God really is talking with me through the Holy Book and the Manual.<br /><br />The reason why I said that I was 'caught off-guarded' is that this period was very trying for me. I am beginning to have this thinking if what I am doing is my real purpose in the ministry. This started when some of the things I have planned on didn't turned out the way it must be. I began to enter a so-called 'self-searching'. I was weighing all of what I am in right now - as a Chapter Head and Sector Kuya. I began to deliberate on myself if I have done what is expected for me, if not, where did I fail? Options have been crisscrossing my mind during this period, one is to step down in either of the two. But God really has a plan on me, that what had happened before was just a test of faith, a test wherein He wants to see if I really believe on what I preach as His steward. He wants to tell me that through it all, only He knows where I can fit right, where I can tell more on how great His works are. He further affirms to me that my placing here isn't 'just-to-fit" but is 'fitted into perfection according to His likeness'. I don't believe that it was purely coincidental for me to like and to read more on topics related to the bible verse. What I believe is that God is talking to me personally. This was His way of telling me that what I am doing in the community is what He has planned on me and that this is already marked on me even before the day I was born.<br /><br />When we entered the community, we all know for the fact that we all are stewards of God. We all know that we are the chosen few. But God sometimes test if we really believe this. It happened to me and I am proud to say it. Why? Because I know for a reason that He did it on purpose because He has a better plan for me. He did it because he knows that I am His steward, a prophet for this world. What I can declare to all now is that God doesn't break His word, that after it all, everything just seem to be fitted perfectly. Yes, I am more than happy now, serving still as a Chapter Head and Sector Kuya, looking forward on His greater plan not only for me but for the ministries I am serving in. And now I believe that this is one of my purpose, while the others are still waiting to be unfolded onto me. <br /><br />The day when we entered the community is the day when our God-directed purpose have started to unfold in our lives. As we continue our travel, seeking for our purpose, we sometimes bump into the unexpected. But through it all, we will succeed - if we just believe - in HIM. <br /><br />Josh Rosario, Central AReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-44788462747561122862010-08-09T17:50:00.000+08:002010-08-10T00:44:59.473+08:00Australia R.O,C.K.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkDJbzdQ4AmUnNdCbpaGUP6Sws_UmPf0dw4iodz49iupA287F1oZN66iK5wWiK5q-8N0qg4pBPVY3-3wtPJwOugtNtTqVzl1hkd99qZRVFkcth8hXnUMdxWF-whDFEiFIFw6RypARD9Jk/s1600/rock+australia.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkDJbzdQ4AmUnNdCbpaGUP6Sws_UmPf0dw4iodz49iupA287F1oZN66iK5wWiK5q-8N0qg4pBPVY3-3wtPJwOugtNtTqVzl1hkd99qZRVFkcth8hXnUMdxWF-whDFEiFIFw6RypARD9Jk/s320/rock+australia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503364888404586850" /></a>Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-32269189595901447352010-08-09T11:10:00.000+08:002010-08-09T11:43:29.779+08:00GOD, whose my only STRENGTH!(last July 24, and this day (Aug. 8,2010), my 2 households had started their first household..)<br /><br />this day, we had our kasangga retreat at mandaluyong..<br />i've learn a lot..<br />but there is one great thing that really struck me,<br /><br />"that I'm called and chosen by GOD to be His leader..<br />He trust me these responsibilities..<br />no matter how sinful i am..<br /><br />the more you have the fire in serving,<br />the more you tempted..<br /><br />but I know that there is GOD, whose my only strength..^_^"<br /><br />after the retreat, i went at the household of my lower.<br />it was fun.<br />we've talked a lot of things.<br />we easily get comfortable with each other.<br />we've got a lot of fun and laughs..<br /><br />i was really amazed and affirmed again today how great is our GOD.<br /><br />I do not need necessarily having a BIG EVENT just to feel God's amazing power and love..<br />everyday is an evidence of How great is Him..^_^<br /><br />--Jonathan Lloyd Polinar "Nathan" --central A (Metro Manila)Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-75959261980367251052010-08-06T23:12:00.000+08:002010-08-06T23:18:01.226+08:00Hose of our victory<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9dstpk6o_7NwM5UUE-twE1eF-AjMm5k3pxjEFuIF3SuzDLdW-fJw_yESVRfYp-xbJdPSZNpMLnnqwIoKWU7YsR4uXIZED8fs0g7rIhoYEeAdNr_HOUP7pZdG60NbEYwwi8WPNOW4mL8/s1600/water+hose.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9dstpk6o_7NwM5UUE-twE1eF-AjMm5k3pxjEFuIF3SuzDLdW-fJw_yESVRfYp-xbJdPSZNpMLnnqwIoKWU7YsR4uXIZED8fs0g7rIhoYEeAdNr_HOUP7pZdG60NbEYwwi8WPNOW4mL8/s320/water+hose.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502315342250783970" /></a><br />This just happened yesterday(Aug. 4 2010).<br /> <br /> The storm "Domeng" passed through our place when a water pipe broke in our bathroom. Actually, I do not know if there is any connection between the storm and the breakage of the water pipe.<br /> <br /> When the water pipe broke, Me and my mom hurriedly went to the bathroom to check it. We were both in panic and worried that the house will be flooded. So, together with my mom and lolo, we think and do various of solutions to avoid flooding inside the house. Until we came up to a solution of a "hose technique" where an old hose was used to connect to the broken water pipe and the other end was outside the house. It was a good idea yet there are still complications. There are a lot of holes in the hose!which causes water leaks in the sala. Then, we continue to mend it until we successfully solved the problem.<br /> <br /> Everyday we all have different kinds of burdens, hardships and sufferings. We think, plan or formulate solutions to these difficulties. But not all our bright ideas would solve our problems yet we shouldn't stop there. That failure to mend our problems must serve as motivations to think for a greater or even the best ideas.<br /> <br /> As youths that REACH OUT CHRIST TO KIDS, we should not stop if situations that happen around us doesn't seem right or keep us from growing in our service. we cannot avoid encountering different issues and other matters. I leaerned from those encounters that we should be OPTIMISTIC and GOAL ORIENTED persons. We should CLAIM our victory.<br /> <br /> As a team, we cannot face these hardships only by ourselves. We must help one another, be sensitive with one another. Also, we cannot just decide carelessly because for every action there is a corresponding reaction. We have to ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<br /> <br /> Lastly, when we think of our solutions to our problems let us claim the success of solving it and never doubt the power of our prayers. Let us have the FAITH..having FAITH is BELIEVING AND OBEYING GOD EVEN HAVING LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS.<br /> <br /> " We have to open our minds, think positive, for God, nothing is impossible."<br /> <br />-dhee<3Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-1188248289551156932010-08-06T22:40:00.001+08:002010-08-06T23:08:38.238+08:00Late night experience<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwp0dAlItIKeRpFv1fyttRjwI3VIrJVjP7AOh_o76L7Zi9yvY_PYY3SdtwiG5nL76XYey1A5k8gb4WX_DcS3AXxQVtw5s33HPm3wrUxMuzQdD57JfZcreLCTbbpuZvwYu2v8aFTldSKG4/s1600/diane.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwp0dAlItIKeRpFv1fyttRjwI3VIrJVjP7AOh_o76L7Zi9yvY_PYY3SdtwiG5nL76XYey1A5k8gb4WX_DcS3AXxQVtw5s33HPm3wrUxMuzQdD57JfZcreLCTbbpuZvwYu2v8aFTldSKG4/s320/diane.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502313863768789762" /></a><br />Yesterday, (Aug. 2 2010) I attended a service meeting at mandaluyong. It was with the sector leaders. It started and ended late at night. My impression and experience during that meeting would be an another story. The one I'll be telling you will be my experience after that night.<br /> <br /> I was so nervous what would my parents be telling me when I arrive home. So, I was thinking what to reason out and how to argue and defend myself. Then, I arrived home at 1:30am. I have not heard a single word from them. I got a lot more nervous. Things run through my head again like they would ignore me and make me suffer for a long time because of what happened..etc.. When I woke up, They are ignoring me! I was in tears that morning. I don't know how to admit that it was really my fault and how to tell them how sorry I am because I still have this pride in me.<br /> <br /> Then I reflected. It came to my mind that maybe it is God's works that I haven't heard a word from my parents so I won't have to argue, answer back and reason out. I realized that I'm so wrong. I should have said sorry at the first place. I was also wrong in thinking badly about my parents. So, In return to God's wonderful works on me, I do good things even greater things to my parents and other people. I practice not to answer back or reason out. I am now trying my best to be humble in every ways.<br /> <br /> As servants of God, we have to learn how to be humble. we will feel enlighten if we don't feel overconfident in things we do. Let us put in mind that what we are doing in the community is for the greater glory of our God.<br /> <br />" WE SERVE GOD NOT OURSELVES, SO LET'S PRACTICE THE VALUES OF HUMILITY"<br /><br />-dhee(diane H.)Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-40066436567542003192010-08-05T09:43:00.000+08:002010-08-05T10:02:11.749+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nHsGo5Ef4vo2zg81uogKaOtFT5-YZOBzHvguUxmsm0l9-XXWihRWaeoFOy5xw4pwPggHM4xLSfxwoQD8VD5w-2ysMmCaLHX1vmkJTVR2eS7FRDs60E4SwqB2pXK_8xS6Aiccztc1a0c/s1600/llyod.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nHsGo5Ef4vo2zg81uogKaOtFT5-YZOBzHvguUxmsm0l9-XXWihRWaeoFOy5xw4pwPggHM4xLSfxwoQD8VD5w-2ysMmCaLHX1vmkJTVR2eS7FRDs60E4SwqB2pXK_8xS6Aiccztc1a0c/s320/llyod.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501740233208491394" /></a><br />It was 1st day of August 2010, when we had our MC Gathering at Layforce (it held every 1st Sunday of the month).<br /><br /> <br /><br />I’ve always invited at the torch but I can’t go at their session because I’m handling the MC kids.<br /><br />There were only two of us (Diane), who handle the MC kids that day.

Because of that I risk riding on a "siksiksan" type of jeepney. I was barely sitting. I was in between two "manongs". I was first annoyed by the thought of those "manongs" are not even gentleman enough to offer enough space for me, seeing I'm a girl. Then later I ignored the thought. Then I was annoyed again because of the barker who keeps on calling and letting people ride the jeepney. That scenario beats the provincial type of riding a jeepney. I was frowning already that time. I was thinking of something good out of that very hot and irritating situation until the man sitting on my left fell asleep. He was almost leaning on me and I don't feel comfortable with that so I was really pissed off despite the fact that I know the feeling of being tired and getting into a sleep while riding a public vehicle(I experienced that also). I was thinking of what to do to him that would scare him and would make him conscious about getting even an inch nearer to me. Lots of things came into my mind. Unimaginable things to do:) Then I stopped thinking about the things I would do to that very irritating and inconsiderable "manong". Know why?<br /> <br />I remember God. It came to my mind, what if God is in my place? would he punish those who disrespect Him? Would He banish those who ignores His feelings? those who keep their eyes close to Him?<br /> <br />God answered me. I know he will be PATIENT in that situation. I was affirmed of His great patience to mankind and I think that throughout that ride in the jeepney He was guiding and teaching me to be patient. bacause I was just tempted to say and do bad things still I didn't. Now that annoying feeling I have when I set foot on the jeepney turned into an affirmation on my stepping down from it. I had a smile. Can you imagine someone with that annoying experience ending up with a smile? only those who see Christ in every situation they are in ends up blessed, bad or good the experience be.<br /> <br />Bros and Sis, we can seek good learnings out of undesired situations..<br />"OUR EXPERIENCES ARE OUR TRAINING FOR OUR SERVICE AND OUR GROWTH THROUGH OUR GOOD REALIZATIONS OUT OF IT"<br /> <br />GBU all!<br />-dheeReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-47884370723876691842010-07-29T12:52:00.000+08:002010-07-29T13:15:46.773+08:00Worth of SacrificeBeing a province facilitator at the same time being a mission volunteer is not an easy task. :)<br /><br />there are so many things that i need to sacrifice.<br />i indeed sacrifice the LIFE that i would really want.<br />i sacrificed my LOVE-LIFE and some things that i desire just like any other teenagers. :)<br /><br />in this mission that GOD has given me,<br />I left my old friends or BARKADAS in the service for me to GROW and LEARN more about the service.<br />Leaving them is worth for it,<br />i met a lot of new people and learned many things about life.<br />I actually didn’t leave them totally; i just give myself the chance to meet new people, without them and learned to become independent.<br /><br />i had traveled a lot around my province, as i welcome new people and learned about the things that needed to be improved, i came close to our mission-vision, BRINGING THE KIDS TO THE LORD AND BUILDING A BRIGHT NEW WORLD.<br /><br />I learned to TRUST and GIVE OTHER FACILITATORS the chance to grow in the service.<br />Now that they learned, it made my service lighter for I have company in the areas of my service.<br /><br />NORTH CENTRAL and SOUTH areas of CEBU now had really grown and a lot of improvement to the facilitators of each area.<br />They can now stand on their own and conduct activities without my presence as long as they updated me with the activity.<br /><br />Indeed God is so great; HE made me TRAVEL to different provinces in our region and to other regions just to let the facilitators realize how great our work here is in Kids for Christ.<br /><br />In this SERVICE with my GOD to the KIDS FOR CHRIST, i am now what i am. <br />FACING EVERYDAY as A PART OF GOD'S GREAT PLAN to MY LIFE and<br />I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL NEVER LET HIS CHILDREN BE IN PAIN. :)<br /><br />I OFFER EVERYTHING TO HIM.<br />GOD MADE ME STRONGER THAN BEFORE,<br />HE MADE ME LOVE HIM MORE,<br />HE MADE ME INSPIRE MORE FACILITATORS FOR THE WORK HE HAS GIVEN TO US, and I BELIEVE that GOD WILL TRULY BLESS THE YFC's WHO ARE WORKING AND SERVING HIS CHILDREN.<br />♥♥♥'<br /><br />"let the CHILDREN COME TO ME; DO NOT PREVENT THEM, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD BELONGS TO THEM. ‘MARK 10:14<br /><br /><br />LETS CONTINUE TO R.O.C.K ON PROVINCE FACILITATORS.<br /><br />YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED!<br />WE HAVE A BIG SPACE IN GOD'S HEART. :)<br /><br /><br />by: Roxane Alcao -CebuReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-68316354333306694372010-07-28T19:23:00.000+08:002010-07-28T19:24:07.051+08:00hi guys!!

This line hit me to the bones. It made me realize “Oo nga noh. Di rin pala maganda yung yes ka lang ng yes.” You also need to identify which is really important. We need to pray before we make a decision. Weigh both sides first. =) Anything that’s too much is not good.<br /> <br /> Currently, I am the sector ate of MM West B. Also the next sector ate for my sector, MM West A, and serving in YCOM & TORCH. I also serve in YFC-UST and of course a college student and a daughter. =) I always struggle in balancing my time and schedule. Yes, I’m bibo kid. Hahaha! =D Aside from these, I’m turning 18 on December and of course I’m also making my preparations for this big day. =) Busy, isn’t it?<br /><br /> When I was in High School, my friends always get disappointed of me when it comes to gimmicking. It always conflicts a meeting or household or an event in YFC. They always say “ Ano ba yan! YFC na naman! ” I must admit I really had few gimmicks with my friends because aside from my parents won’t allow me, it conflicts with my schedule. =( Until now they still say “Hay nako forever ka naming busy eh. Kelan ka ba magiging free?”<br /><br /> I don’t know what it got in me, but I feel so unsatisfied whenever I do not attend any YFC/KFC activity every week. Life’s boring without households meetings and conferences. =) It just came across my mind that these meetings and all are already my gimmicks. Isn’t it so much cool to here that you are going home so late because of YFC stuffs rather than going home late from a party? =D I already grew up in this community. I was a member of KFC at five. In short, I’m in this community for almost 12 years! =)) And I do not regret every single day that I am serving the Lord through this community. And I’ll forever be grateful. <3<br /><br /> I think I just need to limit myself. If it’s really none of my business, then I should stay home and make time for myself and tell “Gel, wag masyadong bibo! Hahaha. =))” For that, may God be praised!<br /><br /><br /><br />10:20pm<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />2010 IS GEL’S YEAR. =))</span><br /> <br />So many events and people came to my life this year. I gained a lot of friends. =) I’m just so happy that I’m loving more and more people and I know that they feel the same way too <3. <br /><br />I just graduated from High School and currently taking up Business Administration at the University of Santo Tomas. My summer started with a mission. We went to Masbate to conduct a Family TIES Camp. I was with my parents, other KFC Coordinators another YFC and a KFC full-time pastoral worker. We experienced all forms of transportation to reach just one destination! We went to Legazpi by plane then rode a van to Pilar then reached Masbate by boat. I gained new friends and built relationships with the people there. =) Next was the ILC in Baguio. I was part of the Documentation team and was part of the service team in the ROCK Workshop. That’s when the RDC or ROCK Dance Company was born.<br /><br />During the ILC, we were surprised when we heard Kuya Ian’s announcement that we’ll be having a one week mission in Albay one day after the ILC ends. Doubts and fears came into me. Will I survive there? This would be my first mission without my parents, if ever. And the ILC just ended and I’m tired, can I still do it? At first, my dad didn’t want me to join the mission because we just had one a month ago. But the Lord just made a way for me to experience His great love, I joined the mission. =D<br /><br /> The day came. We were fourteen in the group, all from different sectors and two were KFC full-time pastoral workers. Everything’s set but we almost cancelled this mission because of insufficient funds. But then again, God won’t allow us now to continue this mission. And so we still went on even if there’s no assurance of going home complete. <br /><br />We were divided into three groups, each having their own tasks. After all the love works, of course, we celebrated! =) We went swimming, eat together at Embarcadero and toured around the province. But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to join the tour because i need to go CamSur to meet my family so I can give up my slot to someone else so the team can go home complete. =)<br /><br />Next was the Luzon Kids Village. =) I was part of the animators and emcee-ed in one of the competitions. =) I feel so honoured to be part of the production team of the Luzon Kids Village. It feels so awesome to dance for the Lord in front of His beloved kids. =D and the stage was so beautiful, very forest-y. Haha! =)) I gained new friends again, mostly from Laguna and other people in the production team. Being an animator is dream come true. When I was in IKV Laguna, I said to my mom “ Mama, pangarap ko sumayaw sa IKV!” And ate Zee grant my dream with a bonus, she made me as one of her emcees in one of the competitions. =D God’s so great! As always, after the Kids’ Village are the Kids camps. I’m happy to say that West A is growing in numbers. =))<br /><br />Next was the CFC 28th Anniversary. I was again tapped to be part of the production team. =D Together with some KFC full-time workers and other YFCs, we created the World Changers dance which was launched at the Anniversary. We danced for the Lord with the Laguna dancers and some KFC members. =D<br /><br />Next were the LiveLoud Concert 2010 and the Campus Fresh ‘N Passion Party. It was my first time to attend these events. =) The LiveLoud was so awesome. A lot of people attended the concert. We can hardly walk across due to a very huge crowd. I learned new songs to praise our Lord. =) The Fresh Party was also fun. Only in this community you can experience clean parties with so much fun. =)) <br /><br />Next was our Sector Kasangga, reinvented! We made an amazing race to help the leaders reflect on what is really needed to lead and serve the Lord. =)<br /><br />Next was the SectorCon Planning. We planned at Linden Suites. =) It’s nice having a fun bonding with the West A Core Group. Everyone was so excited to share their ideas and visions for the event. I’m really excited to be part of our all-new SectorCon. It’s Showtime! =))<br /><br />Lastly, I attended the General Assembly at UST. The Presentations was overly awesome. =)) Plus, I learned a lot from Kuya Tutch’s pep talk. =) “Serve out of love.”<br /><br />I can proudly say that God really loves me so much that He made me experience all of these. It’s just the 7th month of the year and the Lord has flooded me with His blessings. Truly, I can say that God is so great. I know that He will never stop making me happy and blessed. There’s more to come. I love you Lord. Thank you so much! =))<br /><br /><br />by: Gel DizonReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-36717184580758810172010-07-27T14:03:00.001+08:002010-07-27T14:35:24.787+08:00I'm so Grateful<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRo_hbf6Rj2ecFP_NHbJTVm-L4oAbjKlE7_PRzpK5g4vI6Ot0dvPyUw_w_wOpZbrutk3okNYHuFGfL_ZedXMeTweYRKiEZOr1K3az26v3DFoH-lYSRB2rdGk60hhVpJCL1ceOK4zZPBEo/s1600/aaa.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRo_hbf6Rj2ecFP_NHbJTVm-L4oAbjKlE7_PRzpK5g4vI6Ot0dvPyUw_w_wOpZbrutk3okNYHuFGfL_ZedXMeTweYRKiEZOr1K3az26v3DFoH-lYSRB2rdGk60hhVpJCL1ceOK4zZPBEo/s320/aaa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498462878402441938" /></a><br />Hi ROCKers..I want to share to you this wonderful lyrics of the song Grateful..<br /><br /> <br /><br />You've given me this brand new day.,<br /><br />to serve and follow you..<br /><br />You took my tears<br /><br />and made me smile..<br /><br />You lifted me up!<br /><br /> <br /><br />You gave me all the reason Lord<br /><br />to see things as gift from You<br /><br /> <br /><br />And I'll go out and testify<br /><br />and shout to the world!<br /><br /> <br /><br />I will lift your name on high<br /><br />(I) forever worship you<br /><br />and(I)will serve you,with all of my heart<br /><br />I'll forever be grateful..<br /><br /> <br /><br />when trouble comes my way<br /><br />you are there to stay<br /><br />and everything will be alright.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Now (I) know its true<br /><br />that this love is You<br /><br />and (I)will leave each day..<br /><br /> <br /><br />I was touched and affirmed by the song..<br /><br />nowadays I was bothered and stressed by things going on in my life but this song made me GRATEFUL for every brand new day God has given me.<br /><br />through this song God really spoke to me.<br /><br />It made me realize that whatever hardship i will encounter I will always have my God.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Because I'm grateful, I will lift His name on high, I will forever worship Him,I will serve Him with all of my heart..<br /><br /> <br /><br />So bros. and sis. let nothing hinder us from ROCKin' the WORLD!:)<br /><br /> <br /><br />GODBLESS!<br /><br />-dhee..Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-65220951220489325682010-07-27T13:43:00.000+08:002010-07-27T14:01:03.944+08:00My First Mission<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjemf78BJatg216PwY4e4pgfC5v7RxCv_ZoEqVBVD_WXKifxVaPO0w7hyphenhyphenLi0IOKP9Q1uHzHkBkxFL-KBY98398umCMCVFqMW4SJsDIinZh3rcf5tIqHc4FrAUKgV3HXo_vr3Il69zZ6SYo/s1600/robert.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjemf78BJatg216PwY4e4pgfC5v7RxCv_ZoEqVBVD_WXKifxVaPO0w7hyphenhyphenLi0IOKP9Q1uHzHkBkxFL-KBY98398umCMCVFqMW4SJsDIinZh3rcf5tIqHc4FrAUKgV3HXo_vr3Il69zZ6SYo/s320/robert.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498459895139010130" /></a><br />Hello. Im Robert John Manzano, KFC facilitator from North A.<br /><br />Let me share my FIRST EVER OUT-OF-TOWN MISSION TRIP sa Nueva Ecija<br /><br />Nag-stat lng ako s facebook at ndi ko expected n iimbitahan aq ni Ate Chen, KFC fulltime, n mag-faci sa isang ROCK weekend sa Nueva Ecija :))<br /><br /><br />FIRST DAY (May 7)...nagkita-kita kmi s center bago umalis papuntang NE...Ayun. Early bird ako, una akong dumating s center. Nakita ko pa yung mga dati kong sector heads na ngayon ay trainee for mission volunteer, sila Kuya Jake Lime at Kuya Ra An Sarmiento. Then, dumating sila Gizelle of Central B at Pido of East A. Tapos, pinag-pray over kmi ng mga KFC ftw lead by Kuya/Tito Kirby Llaban, int'l coord KFC coord.<br /><br />Nakaalis kmi ng center, pasado 2:00pm na w/c is supposedly 1:30pm :)). Naka-sakay n kmi ng bus papuntang Cabanatuan by 2:30pm..ayun. 3 hours mahigit ang biyahe. On the way, feeling namin, naliligaw na kmi dahil sbi sa'min sa text, basta pag kumanan, may Jollibee. Eh naka-ilang kanan na kami, wala pa kming nkikitang Jollibee and vice versa..Pero Praise God dhil nakarating kami ng safe at ndi kmi naligaw papunta sa bahay nla Tita Ellen at Tito Raul Clamonte, provincial couple coord. ng Nueva Ecija :))<br /><br />Dumating kmi s knla by 5:49pm. Dun kmi nag-stay nila pido at gizelle on the 1st night. Tpos nagmeeting din kmi dun w/ their provincial and sector youth heads (Ate Bernice, Ate Cha, Kuya Filip, Elaine, Twinkle, Kuya Raymuel) the night before the event. After nun meeting, naisip ni Ate Bernice na i-tour kmi s Cabanatuan since 1st time namin dun. Unfortunately, ndi kmi nkpaglibot gaano dhl 10:30 na ng gabi niun tpos maaga pa ang flight ni Ate Bernice the next day to Australia for Cross Culture 2010...Ayun. Ginawan ko na lang ng outline yung aking talk for the event.<br /><br /><br />SECOND DAY (May 8) is the day. Maaga ako nagising. Ibang-iba yung feeling. Kinakabahan ako dahil that is the day of NE Rock weekend. Hindi ako mapakali. I saw an image of Jesus Christ. With that, natanggal yung kaba ko. Ayun. Masarap ang breakfast prepared by Tita Ellen. At the best ung fresh carabao's milk..As in ung kakapiga lng galing sa kalabaw sa farm nila. <br /><br />Tpos dun s venue, maraming participants. Nun umpisa, ndi ako gaano nakakapag-mingle sa knla dhl im not feeling well. Pero Praise God, ndi sya nging hindrance pra makapag-conduct ako ng dalawang workshops. After that, by 6pm wash up and preparation for mass sa Valdefuente Chapel. Ndi ako nkapagmass niun dhl s lbas ng venue ung chapel tpos nagpe-prepare din aq for my talk for that night. Pagdating nila from chapel, dinner...dinner..dinner...tapos ayun, talk ko na. Talk 2: ROCK Solid foundation..Ansaya kasi may powerpoint presentation tpos may video clips/AVP pa akong nalalaman :DDD...May mga nakatulog nun nag-talk ako kc 9:30pm n ako nakapag-talk pro Praise God pa rin dhil may mga mulat n nakinig pa rin. Afterwards, E-NIGHT...bentang-benta ang mga knock-knock jokes at ung tugtog n may lyrics na, "dont stop, make it pop, chorva!!" (pasensya, ndi ko alm title). At syempre kming service team, nag-"Kalye Onse"...laugh trip kmi. grabe! Afterwards uli, tulugan time na where bonding starts. Daming kwento with the brothers :)<br /><br /><br />THIRD DAY (May 9)..Mother's Day niun. Medyo naiyak ako nun umaga dhl na-miss ko ng sobra family ko sa Manila lalo c Mama :(( Pro nabati ko sya ng happy mother's day through text :)))) Anyways, last day ng event..so sad yet so remembering :)) nag-team building nun umaga tapos teaching of songs for kids praise :)))<br /><br />Sobrang dami ng nangyari.

As for me, serving the Kids For Christ is genuinely and fully serving our good Lord to the next level. Serving with all our might, patience, and love through the kids. Introducing God to their lives and showing them His pure love. <br /><br />While I was still in the 2010 Youth for Christ International Leaders Conference in Baguio, I believe that I was tapped and called by God to join the first ever R.O.C.K. (Reaching Out Christ to Kids) Mission Team. I, together with the other YFCs was informed that we will be having a mission trip in Albay, Bicol two days right after the ILC. Having told about it, I was once doubtful. My mind was full of questions, ‘what ifs?’ What if my parents won’t allow me? What about my financial support all throughout the mission? Despite all the questions that I am having, I prayed that night, and God has just answered, “I will never abandon you.” Waking up on God’s answer to my prayer, I felt excited, not just because I will be able to go out of town, but also because of the kids that I will be able to meet through this mission trip.<br /><br />The departure day came and yet few questions are still on my mind. Who will be with me? From what sector are they? Until I met all the YFCs that will be with me in the entire trip. At first I felt awkward because it was our first encounter with each other. But on the day itself, we had an instant connection, maybe because of the same passion in serving the kids that we share. Before setting off to the trip, we made sure that we were properly trained and equipped that is why, we had attended a workshop on the activities that we will be conducting on the mission trip. All the while we thought that all is sailing smoothly but a few hours before the intended time of departure, a major problem arises. We are lacking of funds. We will not be able to support everyone in terms of finance. With this problem, we began to doubt and lose hope. We had asked help from all the coordinators that we know and by God’s grace, we were able to collect enough amounts of fund to support everyone in going to Albay.<br /><br />The trip was long, enough for me to think. What lies ahead for us? When we were nearing our destination, I decided to pray and lift up this mission trip to our God. It just feels good on talking with our God for in doubtful times, you’ll be able to feel calm and secured. When my feet settled on Albay’s land, I was excited. I was overwhelmed by the beautiful things that God has set for me. We were warmly welcomed by some of the coordinators and YFCs of Albay.<br /><br />We had our courtesy call with the other coordinators and youth leaders of Albay on the first day. We had also conducted our team building and planning on the first day. The team was divided into groups to accommodate all the activities that will be happening during our entire stay in Bicol.<br /><br />We had conducted a R.O.C.K. (Reaching Out Christ to Kids) Training Program for all the YFCs of Albay who are willing to serve the Lord through the kids. As per group activity assignment, together with my partner Pido, we were assigned to handle the Senior Kids Camp.<br /><br />It was just my second time to be a team head of a Kids Camp. Good thing the KFC full time workers are there to guide us and most importantly, God’s guidance is always there. The camp was very touching because I am able to see God’s goodness in the eyes of the children. They were eager to listen to the talks and to join in the activities prepared by the team. We have thought the kids different dance songs. We have also thought them on how to worship God through a slow song. Honestly, when I personally saw the kids worshipping God, I had goose bumps. I was besieged by the genuine love of the kids for God.<br /><br />Our mission in Albay was definitely a success. And that made me more inspired to serve God through His children. My faith has grown deeply during this mission and the fire of passion that is in my heart keeps on burning. This mission had gone some struggles but truly by God’s grace, we had managed to go through those obstacles. I am looking forward on another mission trip. The challenge continues; let’s keep on reaching out Christ to Kids. Let’s R.O.C.K.!<br /><br />By: Pia YangoReach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017549944376134148.post-76864515879407385312010-07-19T18:16:00.000+08:002010-07-22T13:01:27.351+08:00PASSPORT TO HEAVEN<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmRrkbUj411iNrwVedd_714HXfxQmcCw75EKFeqX_0f3npOYqIM4_XeptYBxkwje9tNtGj1_woU3cP-jgmWNHSTSboAeEi1EESiABbx19BMJjAyKXz7_8YoRYsgP2aG65sz7HP99uDf0/s1600/100917080512+copy.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmRrkbUj411iNrwVedd_714HXfxQmcCw75EKFeqX_0f3npOYqIM4_XeptYBxkwje9tNtGj1_woU3cP-jgmWNHSTSboAeEi1EESiABbx19BMJjAyKXz7_8YoRYsgP2aG65sz7HP99uDf0/s320/100917080512+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495953359677273522" /></a><br />Last July 15, 2010 me and my friend Blair went to Department of Foreign Affairs to be present in our appointment to apply for our passport for the 13th International Kids Village in Singapore on December and for the future mission on other countries. On are way, we are reminded of our daily realization and luckily, God allowed me to have one on that day.<br /><br />Everyday in our life we tend to do something new that may excite as or make as challenge but others might fall to same things they do everyday that makes them feel bored like "office works". But in our busy life do we come to stop and take a pause and ask our self, “<span style="font-weight:bold;">what did I do this day that pleases God?</span>” <br /><br />Hoping we did something!<br /><br />When we are already in the line for the validation of our application and requirements, I said to Blair, “imagine this line is already the line to HEAVEN and at the end of this Line and God will tell you “good job my son you can get your passport to heaven now, Congratulation!” and after congratulating you, God, together with His angels will welcome you in His Kingdom.<br /><br />When we got to the tip of the line and it was our turn on the counter and pass all of our requirements. Luckily, my application was approved and it made me so happy but when I ask Blair about his application, He failed to get his passport. He was asked to present other NSO copy of his birth certificate because what he have got on that day was unreadable, and he should provide another copy of it before he can get His passport. <br /><br />I was sad for him, “saying talaga ang time” but it had given us realization that really gives us positive direction. What if it was really true that the line is already the way going to heaven and God will ask for your requirements before getting your passport to heaven like what DFA do. Are you sure that you will be approved? What if God will tell you “I am sorry I cannot find your name or I can’t read you name (like what happened to the birth certificate of Blair)“. God said “what you have done to the least of my brothers you do it unto me”. This is the Lord is asking us right now. In everyday of our life, in our school, in our work, in our home or even in our own life are we doing things that in line with the act of the Lord that will pleases Him or we are doing stuffs in our life that make us forget our commitment with the Lord.<br /><br />If you are in the Line, imagine you are very close to the Lord but you cannot make it! <br /><br />The Lord is giving us chance everyday, every time we woke up in the morning, and giving us another day of our Life to make things according to the His requirement. Be good, do good always, be faithful and this will be your PASSPORT TO HEAVEN.Reach Out Christ to Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615482917593694625noreply@blogger.com2
