Strengths Finder

-

 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:  whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11 ESV

Gift. Each of us was born with God-given talents and gifts. God designed us purposely. We are unique and exactly right sa calling the Lord sa buhay natin.

Serve. Our gifts become meaningful when we stop thinking only about ourselves, and start considering how we can help others for the glory of God. 

rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. Ephesians 6:7-8 

Speaks. Whoever speaks must use his/her voice in speaking the word of God.

Strength. Our strength comes from the Lord. So when God calls us to do something, it is not about us; it is about Him. We usually feel that we are not strong, and that is true. Apart from God, we are truly incapable of achieving anything.



Attending the CliftonStrengths Discovery Workshop with Leadership 113 Batch 7, 8 and 9 on October 18, 2025 sa Victory Dasma UBelt was a great experience. I hope kumpleto kaming Batch 8 na nakapunta, dahil sobrang helpful and encouraging lang din ang araw na ito.

Bago pa ang araw na iyon, excited na ako. Rest na din para sa akin ang umupo at makinig sa mga topics na nakakatulong sa growth ko. Grateful sa LORD sa opportunity na matuto pa, at sa buhay ni Ptr. Ado from Victory Taft na naging speaker namin. 

Last year, I took the Gallup Strengths Finder Test. Hindi libre, kaya kailangan may budget (Thank God sa provision). Required ito for L113. Pikit-mata na lang, kasi malaking tulong din ito para sa akin. Pwede din nating iconsider ang ibang ways na makakatulong para madiscover pa ang ating sarili. First and foremost, ang kilalanin ang Creator natin. He has all the answers, and in due time He will reveal them to us as we seek and obey Him. Madevelop man natin ang ating knowledge, talents, skills, ang isang pinakamahalaga na hindi dapat mawala doon ay ang ating good character. Ang character ang tutulong sa atin para maging good steward tayo ng mga pinagkatiwala lang sa atin ng Diyos.

Most of the children and youth ay hindi pa aware sa kanilang strengths, may mga insecurities pa at inggit. Honestly, naging ganoon din ako. Nagfocus ako sa weaknesses ko, at kung paano ko maoovercome ang mga ito. Good naman na maging aware sa weaknesses para mamanage ang mga ito properly at maovercome din ang mga ito. I believe nagiging mali lang kapag nakalimutan na natin na talents and gifts pala ang bigay ng LORD sa atin. So, why not shift our attention sa mga binigay ng LORD na kakayanan natin? Let us take time to discover our strengths and develop them with good character. Doon tayo mageexcel.


Grow in character.

Discover your talent.

Build your knowledge base.

Develop your skills.

Finish with strength.





Hinatid kami ni dade before siya pumasok sa office. (Thank you, dade!) Kami ang most punctual sa workshop. Hahah! Salamat sa Lord sa mga nakasama namin, sa staff, kay Pastor Ado, sa Ramos Couple na aking seatmates and kay Marlon na kasama namin sa huddle. Maraming learning. Si Jamakk ay nakikinig din habang dinidiscuss na ni Ptr. Ado ang mga strengths, kaso mga jokes palang ata ang mga naaalala niya. 😅😂

Send the Light

Light . Jesus is the light, and as His children, He said that we are also the light of this world. We can only shine when we walk in the light of Jesus. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12  “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.  Matthew 5:14-16  For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10 God uses the Send the Light Bible Institute to bear His light, and I am grateful that they have played a role in my spiritual gr...

40 Years

  "Life begins at forty."  Madalas mo din bang naririnig ito? Para sa ilan, nagsisimula palang ang buhay at 40. Para sa iba naman ay pagpapatuloy ito ng kanilang nasimulan. "Ano pa nga ba ang mangyayari sa akin sa 40th ko?", iyan ang tanong ko sa sarili before I turned 40. Gusto kong ihanda ang sarili ko holistically, especially my mind and emotions. Ang goal ko is to live up to my calling and create a good legacy for the young and future generations.  I celebrated my birthday with CEF-Cavite Team.  Kinabukasan, check-up naman at itreat na lang ang sarili. Human development is my favorite topic noong kumukuha ako ng units sa Education. I realized, it is important for a person at the early age na madiscover ang God-given purpose niya and not to lose a sense of purpose habang tumatanda siya. Losing a sense of purpose may lead to regret, anxiety and dissatisfaction, while understanding God-given purpose will give us joy, peace and fulfillment. Sa iba't ibang life s...
