Living Life

Learning never stops. When I said yes to God's call, I encountered new experiences that made me see myself more clearly — my faith, my character, my weaknesses, my strengths, the things I need to surrender, the areas I need to improve, and the gifts I need to embrace. It's true, as we draw ourselves close to God, He draws closer to us. He sees me. He teaches me. He listens to me. He encourages me. He helps me. The challenges I've faced are leading me to a new level of courage and confidence. I thought I had already overcome my old struggles when I was in grade school, but somehow I found myself back in a familiar place — making mistakes, feeling confused, worrying that I wasn't meeting expectations.  It hurts when I feel I could have done better... But then I remind myself this is my first time. Just like my first years in grade school, growth takes time. For a slow-paced person like me, I need sunshine, rain, and a lot of patience. Sometimes I tell myself, " I...

.One of the most challenging parts of life is learning how to get along with people—especially our own family. For me, the greatest struggles often come from within the family itself. I believe that many of the hardships we face in this world are rooted in our fallen nature. When a family is spiritually strong, even the hardest problems feel lighter because there is peace in knowing that, ultimately, everything is in God’s hands. But when that spiritual foundation is not there, it can feel like no matter how good things are on the outside, there are always setbacks.  So what else can we really do? We can choose to remain strong, to keep the faith, and to surrender ourselves, and our loved ones, to God. In the end, our relationship with Him is what truly matters.

Lead your family to the Lord. I know it's not easy, but let's pray for this. By God's grace, it can happen. As a husband, lead your family with love. As a wife, be a helpmate who submits with wisdom. Children do not learn everything on their own; we, as parents, must install every good thing in them. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Pray together. Communicate. Read and study the Bible together. Be a good role model to our children especially in faith, purity, words, love, and discipline.  Family is our first ministry. May the Lord God be the center of our family. May He strengthen us as we walk together, aligning our will with God's will.  If you are not part of a Christian small group yet, be part of it. Let's journey together.  ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ MY STORY I grew up knowing God because my mom brought me to church when I was in kindergarten. I grew up attending Sunday School, praying and reading the Bible every Sunday (sadly, only every S...

Salamat sa Diyos sa opportunity na makarating sa Davao for 39th National Conference ng Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) Philippines. CEF is an international mission organization that works alongside the local Church to evangelize, disciple, and establish kids in a local church. I have been part of CEF since September 2023 as an area staff in Cavite. First time kong makasama sa CEF conference this year.  SALAMAT SA LORD sa favor Niya dahil nakasama kami ni Jamakk sa conference. Sayang, di kasama si Dade... 6 days din kasi ito sa Davao. Pero salamat sa Diyos kasi pinayagan niya kami at iningatan kami ng Lord habang hindi kami magkakasama.  Salamat sa CEF Cavite Family and sa GEC. Alam kong makakahelp din ito para maequip ako. Nagkaroon din kami ng time to rest and meet other local area workers all over the Philippines. February 22, 2026 (Sunday), 11PM.  We went na sa bahay nila Kuya Mhon. Nag-overnight na kami sa kanila para may kasabay na kami papuntang airport kinab...

 Nagkaroon din ng pagkakataon na makapagbakasyon ulit. Salamat, family! Salamat Ming tito and tita for the love and generosity. Blessing ng Lord na kung nasaan kayo. Lalo pa kayong ibless ng Lord. Higit sa lahat salamat Panginoon for keeping our travel safe and peaceful. Salamat sa favor. Napakasaya.  Gusto ko talagang umuwi ng province kasabay ng pag-uwi nila Tito Boy and Tita Arcel from UK, kaso nagdadalawang-isip ako dahil sa pamasahe. I only have 2k or less. Pero nang nalaman ko na may free ride from NE to Ilocos, inisip ko na kakasya na ang pera ko. Marami rin sana akong gustong gawin pag-uwi ng province, like pagpunta sa bukid, pagbisita at meaningful na kuwentuhan with family, at pagtuturo sa mga kids doon, kaso ang ikli lang talaga ng time. Need rin umuwi agad para kay Dade. Hindi rin kami masyadong nakapagdala ng mga gamit dahil commute lang kami. What happened sa 3 days stay namin doon ay talagang once in a lifetime at sobrang memorable.  December 27-30, 2025 De...
