I'd like to share this song, "The Refiner's Fire," by Steve Green, as the original artist.

I somehow inspired that I need  to sing this, one time, on my knees. I didn't follow the voice inside me. I had so many reasons not to sing this. Many singing engagement had passed, I refused. Only just now, after a year, it click on my head to sing this, when being asked again to render a song this coming Saturday during Communion Service.

It is my honor to share  this inspired words from God through a song, through the world wide web. It is my honor too to serve as His instrument.

I'd like to thank John Mark Bautista for posting the original accompaniment in youTube. I transpose it according to my comfort.

A Mother's Story


Another summer gone by, my thoughts stuck at my children’s laughter playing board games together. Seeing them having fun with each other’s company made me feel lighter. It has been awhile to see them like this. Not having tension between them relaxes me. The joy in my heart made me hum my favorite children song.

Children are my joy. Every Saturday I gathered them. I taught them songs and stories about Christ and how important Christ’s character. I treated them like my own on top of my three crazy ones.

http://mothers-day-quotes.com/short-mothers-day-quotes-2014-special-created-for-mother.html/They are grown now with their own points of view clasping against one another. I was may be a lucky mom, who have strong minded children. They must have special minds of their own that I cannot even keep up with their doings.

Teenagers- they thought they’re above all things. Do not get scared of danger. Do not even get scared that death can easily snack them in seconds. They thought they know better.

Each of them was special to me but at times they drained my energy especially on the time I became the financial source when my husband had cerebrovascular accidents.

I wasn’t trained at all to deal with business matters nor handling finances. I wasn’t prepared at all the impact from my husband’s health crisis. But I remembered my youth, how free spirited I was learning from my own steps. (Pause), this is another challenged my life is taking me.

As a fourth child, who was born and raised in a farm from a family of ten children. I believed it was with a purpose in preparation for my very steep experience climb. Aside from having the agility and strength I also have a caring heart, which cares deeply for my family although I was being misunderstood.

My happiness revolved around them. Making them happy and supplying their needs were my utmost joy. I do whatever I can to make them feel comfortable to be around me. I wasn’t born with silver but my dreams for my family’s safety and security are sufficient.

Being not finished from the University it is a struggle for me to stabilize the financial situation of the family. The children are grown with greater demands, their daily needs including tuition, and so as my husband’s medications.

What will I do? We didn’t save as much money. The business is gone. I need to sustain our needs. I sold some of our properties but only lasted for a month. I remembered I fed them rice and dried fish from breakfast to dinner. They hardly complain but it becomes tasteless long term.

The house we invested start to rot. It is a three storey native house made from coconut lumber and bamboo.  It needs repair. What do I do? I diverted my mind to cooking but my worries consume me.

One day my feet guided me to grandfather’s room. I hardly go in there as he hardly recognizes anyone. He called my name. He has Alzheimer's but how was he able to recognize me. I went closer and handed me the family’s pharmaceutical formula. I was in disbelief why he gave this to me not to his children.

My husband was waiting for me relaxing on his favorite chair. I told him what had happened  and we started formulating it. We have a business. The business went good, but I don’t have the skills with marketing. It only helps us get through our needs.

I came back from deep thoughts when my assistant shook me if I am okay. She noticed me smiling while locking my sight to my children. I better finish steaming the bottles so I could prepare something special for dinner.

It is mother’s day and I so appreciate the greetings from my family.
That was then. A lot had happened after that. Late 2009 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. February 2012 I reunited with the Lord.

My life on earth was very challenging but fulfilling. It was me and my God’s fight and I delighted to serve my purpose- to become a mother, a wife, and a good steward to my family.

May this Mother’s Day gives you the warmest love from your family.



-HAPPY MOTHERS DAY-


Dedicated to my mom.

Writing

Writing stabilize the mind. It is an expression. A way to interpret the thought processes. Mind sometimes has its own world. It has its own body of nonexistent matter. It tries to create an active persona and over power what its own body can handle. Even though the body is a doer it detects fallacious activity of the brain. The afferent nerves get stimulated and argues the brain through conscience.

Illnesses and diseases arise from this without marrying these two. the counter effect of uncontrolled emotions are two things, stimulation and suppression of  the central nervous system, causing either stress or depression, depending on the neurotransmitter activity.

Stress influence acidity, inflammation and diseases while depression leads to in-despair, hopelessness and suicidal ideation.

It is very crucial when these things happen. It is a disease of the brain that the body cannot control. Anti-anxiety, antidepressant medications are supplementing it but not curing it. Just like Diabetes Mellitus, there is malfunctioning of the organ already. In this case synaptic malfunctioning, ACTH and or serotonin crisis.

Brain is very vulnerable from the attacks of its own body's malfunctioning but also the negative influence of the people around you, family, friends, peers...
Worst - if there's no beliefs of Higher Power, God.

The body heals itself but cannot heal further if the mind is not cooperating.

This new millinea, people are getting aware of wellness and rejuvenation for the mind, body, and spirit.

Aside from taking organic nutritional supplements yoga and Pilates contributes the overall wellness, plus, conjoining them to God.

Our body produce its own happy pills. They are the hormones produce when we exercise and expose to sunlight. Sunlight activates serotinin and exercise, endorphine.

Outdoor hike/walk and or work-out with your best pal will make you feel happier for sure. Someone that could make you laugh and relax will gives you fuel for the whole week. Wouldn't this be good when this is done routinely with your trusted confidant?

It is healthy to be around with positive and great friends. They are blessings and health beneficial too.

There are a lot who are not lucky in that area. Somehow they are advised by their physicians to refrain from stimuli and encouraged them to do relaxation activities.

Deep breathing saves a fracture of money. According to one of my instructors, "Oxygen is the money of the body." It supplies life from molecular to cellular level in the body. The brain the heart and other major organs need it. The whole system needs it.

Through deep breathing, it only takes two minutes to get into relax state. A simple logic, "The more air we grasp the more Oxygen we get". Anatomically, the lungs also expand.

Writing. The mind make up its own story. It is vastly imaginative. It doesn't have limits. There's no fee to dream. it is your own.

What writing helped me? It tires my brain. It challenges to create new scenes, new stories, new ideas. It retains information - a duplicate in case words that were constructed long gone.

Writing compensates beyond the body cannot do. It is the sponge from the brain's hyperactivity. It justifies the battle between the two.

Daniel

Daniel Part I

The book of Daniel tells about Daniel's vision , given by God , on an upcoming annihilating events of what could be the future of human existence .


It is symbolic and prophetic that intends to prophecy the coming and the second coming of Jesus the Christ , the awareness from the devastation the world may experience , may it be climatic change , plight of ideas of governance from politics to our own , numbers of war , nations against nations and against God , prior to His coming .

Daniel's vision became renowned when he revealed to the king of Babylon , King Nebuchadnezzar , what his dream was and its meaning .

The king called all wise men but no one knows and could interpret the dream , except Daniel . He became a confidant to the king and be among the advisers of his court.

Who is Daniel ? What brought him to Babylon ?

During the third year reign of Jehoiakim , king of Judah it was prophesied by prophet Jeremiah , a priest in the tribe of Benjamin , who served his ministry for 40 years from the the thirteenth reign of King Josiah until Jerusalem defeated for the third time by the Babylonians under king Nebuchadnezzar's rule during the eleventh year and fifth months of Zedekiah , that the kingdom of Judah will be captured by the Babylonians from disobeying God .


Flight of the Prisoners by Tissot

Daniel is an intelligent , handsome , healthy , self disciplined and well-mannered Jewish royalty from Judah happened to be amongst the captives with his three friends to be trained for three years as the servants of the god's of the Babylonians .

Daniel: Belteshazzar and his friends, Hanniah: Shadrach, Mishael: Meshac, and Azariah: Abednego

They were chosen because their physical and intellectual attributes and personalities fit the criteria the king of Babylon was looking for . They were treated as royalty and received access to foods that the king have . They were taught the language of Babylonia , "the Aramaic" .

They were given new names inclined to service the king as a protector of his gods . Daniel became Belteshazzar meaning Bel protects the king's life . His three friends were given new names that would mean servants of the gods of Babylon . Hananiah called Shadrach , Mishael called Meshac , and Azariah called Abednego .

Daniel would only want to be identified with the God of Israel not the gods of Babylonians . He stood firm for God and God did the same for him . He followed Hebrew diet instead of the king's rich food and drinks that were offered to idols .

Daniel and his friends refused to eat the food planned by the king that were offered to the idols

When his trainer concerned on his Hebrew diet and feared for his execution , if this diet won't work out , he asked the guard to test them for ten days and compare them to others . The guard agreed . After ten days he let them continue their simple Hebrew diet because it made them healthier and stronger .
During the course of three years training God was with these four young men . He gave them insights and skills from what they learn and made them ten times better than the rests . For Daniel he gave him a gift for interpreting dreams and visions . They became permanent part of the king's court and trusted more than the astrologers and fortune-tellers . Daniel served Babylon until the Persians conquered them .

King Nebuchadnezzar troubled by his dream

On the ending of his second year reign king Nebuchadnezzar disturbed by his dream . He asked all of his fortune-tellers , astrologers , and priests who claimed they could communicate with the dead , to interpret his dream . But all of them were executed because they didn't even know what the dream was .
The king demanded who ever could tell his dream and interpret it will be honored and be given gifts and rewards , but those who attempted and do not know and cannot interpret the dream will be executed . The king was mad and made a decree to execute all advisers in his courts including Daniel and his friends .
Daniel wondered the king must be disturbed because without knowing his reason he ordered hastily on their execution . He asked the chief of the king's guard what had happened and he relayed what it was . He asked to be brought to the king . He promised the king that by the following day he will tell and interpret the dream.

Daniel gathered his friends and shared them what had happened . They gathered together and prayed for God's mercy to show them the dream of the king and its interpretation .

God was merciful to them . That night he let Daniel dream. He even told him the meaning as well . He was thanking God and praising Him .

He said , "Praise God forever and ever . All wisdom and power are His . He controls time and seasons . He removes kings and sets up kings . He gives wisdom to those who are wise and insight and understanding to those who know Him . He reveals mysteries that no one else can know and He sees what to man is hidden in darkness . He's the source of all knowledge , and He floods the world with the light of understanding . O Lord , God of my fathers , I thank you and praise you for giving me insight and wisdom and courage to go in and see the king . You've answered our prayers and given me the dream and told me what it means . Now I can go in and tell the king what he wants to know." . Daniel 2:20-23. The Clear Word .

Ecclesiastes




My favorite book in the Bible is the the book of Ecclesiastes. Here's my summary:


Many believe King Solomon to be Qoheleth, the author of Ecclesiastes.



King Solomon shared lessons throughout life. He emphasized that everything around us are the same even new generations may follow the wind blows in circles and rivers flow in same manner. He even built all great things to please himself but it does not bring happiness, but only trouble and headaches, caused him into stress and depression. He understood that everything he worked for in the search for happiness will only come to waste as man are heading the same route to graveyard. He exclaimed he may worked and planned carefully but it only be passed on to those who didn't work for it. In chapter 2:3 he questioned what did he get out from it, only stress and anxiety. He then found out on the next verse that the most rewarding in life are the satisfaction of work and enjoyment of food. He considered these things a gift from God and wouldn't enjoy these without Him. He said God is the source of all knowledge and of all joy. He gives wisdom and happiness to those who please Him. 

Solomon taught everything has its own time and that God knows what is best for us. Although it wasn't God's original plan to make a man work hard, he created a sense of destiny which only He knows the beginning and end. Man may not understand it but he knows the way to make man happy and satisfied from all the endeavors in the end. 

Solomon also learned that wickedness and evil took away fairness and justice and God has to intervene to straighten it up. 

When he noticed the injustice and oppression ever present he concluded those who died and those who are to be born yet are better off than those who are living as those who died already will not experienced all pain and those who are yet to be born haven't seen what's going on just yet. 

He said success is never satisfied as it arises from wanting what others have. 

He continued, two people are better than one because they can work and enjoy each other together. And if the other one fails the other encourages. They formed a strong bond just like a rope with three strands. 

He said that popularity doesn't count. A teachable young man although who is born poor will overcome trials and one day could become king. 

He stretched to be humble and teachable when we come to the house of God and keep the vows we make to God. Not letting our emotions lead us to give promises because once we promise and and not fulfilling it God is not happy. We need to think before we speak our promise to God. We need to show respect to God by being careful what we promise. 

He said that money will not buy happiness. When a man is in love with it, will never be enough and never be satisfied no matter how much he makes. When money increases he gains friends that consumes it. The only benefit he got from it is to let them know that he has it. 
A rich man works hard but robs his sleep but a working man who barely bring food sleeps better at night.
It is good when a man enjoys his work. When God gives him wealth it is a gift from Him and there's nothing wrong with it. 

God allows man to be wealthy but does not let him live beyond his years. Solomon thought this is what made life unfair. Man only does is to keep himself alive. So he works hard to get continuous food, but nothing on earth lasts. It's like chasing winds. The more you argue the more restless you get. Death is part of life and it will never change. No one can plan the future because no one knows after he's gone. 

Above all he said, choose to be wise because good reputation is better than fine perfume. On chapter 7 he emphasized more to take into serious matter and reflect on it than going to parties because death is where man goes. There's no escape from it. A wise man thinks of his end of life but a fool laughs his way through. Sorrow is better than laughter because it teaches things that laughter can't. 

On 7:11-12 He said "wisdom is like inheritance, only useful to those who receive it. It's like a shelter in the storm, it gives security than money. It is better than knowledge because it protects those who have it"

Wisdom puts a smile and makes you happy.

Be a good citizen and listen to your king because this is what you promised before God. His law is supreme in the land and no one can challenge him. Keep the laws and be a good citizen and you'll not be punished. There's a right time and a right place and a wise man knows what to do. There are right time and right way to do things that man can't understand. No one knows but God no matter how hard we tried we can't fully understand why things happened. 

Therefore Solomon concluded our future relies on God whether it will turn out good or bad. So he suggested to enjoy life instead with our families, wife and children and friends because God designed it that way, to eat with them and be happy because without happiness life is not worth to live for. Enjoy whatever we do because in the grave, we eventually leads, we'll be thoughtless.

He taught us to be diligent and grateful. He emphasized on giving to those who needs and it will return in folds. He also encouraged to invest in seven or even eight times because we don't know which will succeed. 

He told the youth to enjoy life and be bubbly. Follow what they desire but be reminded that everything has consequences and asked them not to do things that is harmful or cause harm because not long youth passes on as old age come soon. So enjoy and give glory while you're young so that you can't say you didn't enjoy your youth. The body is temporary. It will decay and turn to dust. 

"Life is futile because what you do doesn't last." Ecc 12:8

Solomon's thoughts on the duty of man is to "Reverence our Heavenly Father and do what He says. That's the only one thing that has meaning and lasts. So love god and keep His commandments. He loves you and has told you all you need to know. One day He will judge everything we have done in this life, including every secret thing, whether it was good or bad." Ecc 12:13-14
