"GOD WILL WIN OUR FIGHT"

I.

SHAKING GROUNDS, SURGING STORMS

HOW DO WE FACE THE CRISES WE SEE

FIRING GUNS, RAGING ARMS

WHO CAN KEEP US SAFE FROM THE ENEMY

BUT LIKE A CHILD WHO IS LOST

IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT

JUST BELIEVE THERE'S SOMEONE

WHO CAN SHOW US THE LIGHT

WIN OUR FIGHT

CHORUS:

WHY WISH UPON A STAR

WHEN WE CAN ASK FROM THE ONE

WHO CREATED IT

WHY PUT OUR HOPE ON A RAINBOW

WE CAN DEPEND ON THE ONE

WHO PAINTED IT

HAVE FAITH

WALK BY FAITH

NOT BY SIGHT

GOD WILL WIN OUR FIGHT

WHOOO.. OHHH

II.

MANY TIMES WE RELY

ONLY ON THINGS OUR EYES CAN SEE

WE FORGET WHO CAN GIVE

ALL OUR NEEDS AND LEAD US TO VICTORY

AND WHEN EVERYTHING'S WRONG

AT THE END OF THE NIGHT

JUST BELIEVE THERE'S SOMEONE

WHO CAN MAKE IT ALL RIGHT

WIN OUR FIGHT

((BACK TO CHORUS))

BRIDGE:

OVERCOME AND SURVIVE

FOR WHATEVER IS RIGHT

IN THE WARS OF OUR LIVES

((BACK TO CHORUS))

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

This is one of the best lesson I've learned in Life.

A dear friend of mine shared this to me..

When St. Paul was imprisoned, beaten, ship wrecked, as well as very good times with Priscilla and Aquila (Tentmakers like Paul and leaders in the church ---Acts 18:1-3). Paul said that he found peace in contentment, whether with plenty or in prison. He found his JOY from Christ the King not because of just good things that happened to him". Paul's joy came to him because of an INNER JOY rather than being controlled by outside circumstances...

Amen to that.
Yes, that is so true. God wants us all to have that kind of inner peace no matter what our circumstances are. And in this chapter Philippians 4 (a peace that surpasses all understanding) - Paul implied that this inner peace is essential in a way that through it we will understand His will and eventually find joy and comfort through Him. Paul also encourages us that in everything we awe to give God thanks in good and in bad times. This is one of favorite chapter. So basic but usually forgotten.

"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. " I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
 Philippians 4:11-13

A very nice word from the Lord.

 Good eve and God bless!

I just wanna say 'Thank You'

Dear God, thank you for my life on this earth, however challenging or not. 

Thank you for giving me free will to love and be loved, to make my own decisions, to learn from my mistakes, to laugh when I am happy, to cry when I am sad. 

Thank you for my family, my friends, my pets, my colleagues, and for every other living creature I meet along my journey. 

Thank you for giving me strength to overcome adversity, to do what's right for the benefit of the greater good, to rise above negativity. 

Thank you for giving me hope for an end to world suffering, pain, and war, for a beginning of a world filled with light and everlasting love.

Bora and I on Geeks on a Beach

My colleagues and I  recently visited Boracay Island - the Summer Tropical Paradise of the Philippines. And here is my journal of the most unforgettable encounter and awesome Geek on a Beach Conference held in the beautiful island of Boracay.

I was so excited to prepare everything needed for that trip, if there's a word more to described my excitement, may be that's it! Because of my extreme excitement we arrived in the airport as early as 8:00 in the morning well infact our flight was supposed to be on 11am to 12pm.

Few minutes before boarding, I felt like something was giggling within me, knowing that in 30 to 45 minutes I'd be in the place I ever dreamed of. However, while we were in the air already, we encountered a heavy rain and a cabin crew announced that there was zero visibility, thus makes it difficult for the aircraft to land in the island. And guess what? At that moment my extreme excitement slowly diminished transforming into something nerve racking thing (lol) :)  Good thing the flight crew timely calmed all the passengers.

Praise the Lord! We finally landed in the island safely. Upon landing, I noticed that the airport was so neat, I mean, far from the usual airport setting I'd been.  Nevertheless, It's just simply amazing! hehe. :)

It was a long trip then, it almost took an hour of plane ride with minutes of tricycle and ferry boat ride before finally arrived at Crown Regency Boracay. It was tiresome but all worth it, seeing those turquoise clear beaches in the corner just swept the tiredness away. This is it, this is really is it! :)

I was totally captivated and so amazed by Gods creation. My heart fluttered as the sight of the beach took my breath away. hehe - just exaggerating :). Of course, never we forgot to take pictures there and everywhere we go.

That's it, the first day is over yet the fun just started. Hurry!

The second and third day is the most exciting part where we attended the conference called Geeks on the Beach #GOAB. This is actually our main goal why we flew to the island.

I just really loved the idea of this event. They gathered all the tech hound, business owners, investors, web & mobile developers, digital marketers and tech savvy or "nerd" (as they call it) who used to be just in their offices or small rooms working and coding stuff. And now given a chance to show off their faces to relax, unwind, bring out their swimwears and floaters on the beach and go social. lol. Isn't it cool to see those GEEKS behind those big-time known tech company?

But hey, here's the coolest fact I heard from one of the Google seminar recently.

 The techno savvy are no longer considered 'NERDS' of the world. - its more than that! They are now the coolest kid that rule the world.  Today the 'GEEK' has risen to rock the world!

Which indeed true!




This trip was something I will never forget.

Choose the Right Mate

This for the Single!!!

CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATE

2 Corinthians 6:14-16 

One of the most important keys to a successful marriage is to carefully and prayerfully choose the person you will spend the rest of your life with. Young people get caught up in the romance and the physical attraction, and they don't consider whether the object of their attraction will help or hinder them in their spiritual development. Of course, the foundation for choice should have been laid years before. Just because a person falls in "love", doesn't necessarily mean that person you "love" would make a good spouse. Hormones need to be governed by reason. God made us creatures of choice. In fact, our lives are a product of the choices we make. 

Galatians 6:7-8

God bless us all!
