Your Word...

Someday I am going to write about everything happening in my life...to glorify the majesty of God...His awesomeness...His being a Heavenly Father...a God... Right now Chris is in his office, it's a very quiet Monday morning...everyone's on a day off...Chris is usually working on Mondays to edit... But this morning is extra different...it's his last Monday as a staff, Live Production Manager, in the ministry, in CCF, for now. Chris does not have to exit with his head up high. But he is leaving with a  heart after God,still. Nothing in this relationship will change except to go stronger, more dependent, deeper into God's safe embrace and protection. It is a Christian's  challenge to strive for perfection after God. We try daily. In the midst of trying, we trust too much, we  forget the earthly attitudes, presuming people around you have the same heart. However, even Within the Christian environment , hearts are not the same. Falling off guard, some dark motiva...

     The first time I noticed this kind of culture in this church's leadership was when I was pregnant with Topper. Chris and I were invited to have dinner with some music ministry leaders. The dinner went fine until the talk diverted to talks about the current music ministry head. There was a lot of fault finding going on. I was beginning to suspect that something bigger was about to happen. It did happen. The datenwas 9/11.      Being somewhat close to the head's family, this bomb came as a deadly blow to them. It was sudden, Chris and I were caught unaware. But obviously something was happening when one Sunday, during worship period, a commotion ensued. It was a quiet commotion, people were acting strangely, suddenly turning hostile towards us. From being friends with this family, the relationship turned sour. And until this day, I do not know why, was it something we did? said? Or was it something else they knew, that  we did not. I wonder if I...

     Chris is going through tough times at work...because of gossip, slander, vile and malicious stories used to destabilize his work,the Lord's work.      Who does this?     I might know who, Chris may know who, the pastors definitely know who.      But what hurts?       People, by nature,  love to pull down. It is easier to pull down, than to lift up. Sin, loves to pull down...destroy. It is not the nature of sin to build up.  It never is.  This person is destroying my husband. And there are some on his side.  I am on Chris' side, I am on the Lord's side, that's for sure.      Sin comes from the enemy, Satan. It is the work  the enemy does to divide God's people. It is sometimes very obvious, but it sometimes looks respectable, it is never obvious. Allegations against Chris are the obvious. But the motives of the person orchestrating this is not obvious. And t...

Proverbs 24:13       My son, eat honey, for it is good   yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste; know that wisdom is thus for your soul;if you find it, then there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.      God is so kind, merciful and loving!!! For many months our eldest son, Ramon waited for a new job. Well, it did not really come by at all because he did not apply for any, yet. He said he had some character fixing to be done. Chris and I knew about the circumstances of the previous job and the reasons why he decided to back out from his job. He did not really quit. He just felt he was not the right fit.      Nothing bitter ever came out of Ramon's mouth. He was   gracious towards his previous employers and he even continued to meet with his previous co workers. He just needed to resolve something in his life stage that he was going through.      We focused on helping ...

Hebrews 11  1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it men gained approval. I have so many prayer items on my list! By faith, Lord God will approve of them. I have had so many prayer items already answered. By faith the Lord God did  answer in his time. God is amazing indeed! And for those prayers still unanswered, by faith I know He has them lined up to answer in a way I do not expect but will praise Him for. Pray with faith on Him then wait.  For many days, I had been 'dreaming' about this vegetable which is so hard to find in even the best supermarkets around. I did not even think I needed to pray about this. It was just a food trip dream.  But I had a health goal in mind, hence the craving.  Today, even without my own garden, I literally harvested this vegetable from a branch hanging over the compound wall, into our side of the fence. The law says it is ours now to harvest. Wow, the branch l...

I have seen this happen again and again...again and again...and this makes God a perfect keeper of His promises. Everyday I wake up to so many blessings...hep, stop! Do not ask what the gifts are...shame on you...I mean God's blessings. They are not necessarily concrete gifts. Every good thing that is for the day, is a blessing! And each time I thank God for whatever, the enemy despairs. When a disappointment happens, pray, lift it up to God and go back to the good that happens, happened within that day. Do not ever let one disappointment cloud your God given day.  Pondering on how the enemy clouds our thinking, I went back to a situation happening, not in my office...someone else's office. Unfortunately the intrigue is coming from the supposedly anointed, selected authority in Christ.  They have gone as far as to sow intrigue, 'unknowingly' pitting one staff against the other in the form of 'so called' advice. My advice to the person affected, just be stil...

this house was used to house a couple...living together  against God's word...living together against the vows of marriage sacred to God's eye... i lived for a very brief time in this house...exposed against God's word on true parenting...this house made me be in  a broken household  because of sin... this house was a simple bungalow with a big, modest garden...it was quaint...it was 34 years ago... Last night Chris drove me by this corner where that house used to be. I could not find the house, I thought so. 34 years is a long time....progress takes place...the village has grown...the houses are new or aged. But the corner was there...there was a shack...a car shop...a miserable looking car shop...there was no structure of a house...just wood planks put together...I saw the gate that used to enter into a wide garage...the gate I saw just barred vandals from doing further damage...Then I saw the garden, it was the space of what was the garden...but there...
