\m/ yeah

coming soon

"You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you."
2 Chronicles 20.17

Face the war. But that's it. you don't have to fight it.You're just there to watch how He will defeat them all. You can't skip the taking up your positions part. You will miss the whole thing! it's like not being able to watch the greatest victory story ever just because you were in the wrong position-behind the crowd. Stand where you are supposed to be and stand firm!  

God has already written the story. He is just showing it to me now. So privileged to be His audience. This is greater than all the koreanovelas and jdoramas. Maybe that's why He made me stop watching those. It's time to start watching His story. 

I wonder what today's episode will be :)

I won’t be spending my time surfing the net for the next 30 days. I will be checking my mail and facebook messages though. But it ends at that. Yes, no blogging. I will go into the desert! This is a momentous event though so as always, I will make sure that everything is properly documented. There will be an entry everyday but I won’t publish until the end of the 30 days. This is the start of a wonderful change :)

I’m your average person. I love reading books, listening to music, watching movies, youtube videos and dramas, blogging, and eating good and yummylicious food. So, for the next 30 days, I will be giving all these up. My culture is already composed of these things. I have allowed them unlimited access in my life just for the reason that I enjoyed them. But now it’s time to limit the access, and if need be, totally remove it. Honestly, the idea of forevermore banning koreanovelas from my life is not a good one. I even have to fight my internal battles just to be able to write that previous sentence. (internal battle scene: no, that won’t happen. 30 days would do. the lord is kind and considerate. But…what if? No more *too many titles too mention* Omg. Omg. Omg. Omggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!)  Because it’s a truth and it’s a possibility if that’s what I would be called to do. And before this ruins my conviction, I would move on.

Where am I? oh, culture. As I’ve said (typed), I’ve already become too engrossed with these hobbies of mine, to the point that I do them without even thinking about their consequences. I’ve allowed them to influence me, to shape me, and become a reason to compromise my Christianity. But the thing is this should not have been the case. Because living with these things as my core is not I’ve been created for.  I’m done living according to my self made culture. From now on, I’ll be living according to the JESUS culture. Oh yeah, baby! (At the back of my mind: I don’t think Jesus likes watching koreanovelas. Hala ka. Pinapahinto na ata talaga. Patay kang bata ka. Move on. Move on.) Time to really shape up and live according to my calling.

Just to clarify the rules, I will still be eating three meals a day. I need glucose. continuous glucose intake. But the meals would range from wheat bread to skyflakes. lotsa water and definitely no iced teas.

To be able to fulfill my purpose, to be able to bring all that I can, I need to become the person that He created me to be- SANCTIFIED. And there is only one way to do that- to follow Him. Hence, the eradication of all that I am and the building of all that He is. After these 30 days, I would be ready. Greater things will come, greater things will be done. REVIVAL! But for now, I disappear :)

Question: There’s 21 and 40. What’s with 30?

Answer: after 30 days.

  

Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead fix your attention on God. You will be changed inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

just submitted my first draft.whew!
last night, i asked a batchmate who had the same thesis adviser as me and asked her regarding her thesis, specifically the number of pages. the answer:"68. pero si ano nga 100+ eh." needless to say, my world crashed. if i stretch it to the best i could, mine would only reach a maximum of 40 pages. and i haven't stretched it yet. add to that my missed math exam, the review lesson which i can't understand(it's supposed to be a review!), and the fact that it's already june. "you won't be able to graduate! why the heck are you in chem?!!" my already dried up brain cells shouted. anyway. instead of being the usual me ("eat me discouragement! eat me!") i decided not to be. by His grace, i managed to stay afloat. grabe. i know i've already reached my limit. but it's amazing how i was still able to go on. so this is the so called supernatural strength. i continued. first time!!!!!!
i want to say more. i want to write about this more creatively. i want to express everything that i am feeling right now. but things need to be done. so i have to do this fast. in summary. i just submitted my first draft. and seriously, my adviser looked happy. well, she's always happy. haha. but i've always thought she would be very disappointed when i finally present to her what i've been able to accomplish. that look didn't show up at all. i also talked to the college sec. my graduation is still waiting for me. lets go kamown!!!!

death surrounds them wherever they go. but instead of just waiting for death, they made a move.they took the risk of going to the enemy's camp. there is still a 0.99% of survival. if they die, they die. but they would place their hopes on that 0.99%. in the end, they did not only survive. they also brought salvation to everyone. 

it's because He can change a 0.99% to a 100% :)


it's too early to be happy, i know. i've submitted my thesis but graduation is still far. still at 0.99%. but i'm putting my everything in this 0.99. i continue.
