Forgiving but not Forgetting

Most people say that he forgives someone but will never forget what happened. I also thought of this before... but heck! What will I benefit from not letting everything go?

I attended a retreat for single members of VCF Davao and Pastor Jeremy prayed for me and just like what I've said to Chona and Que, "swak na swak!" I was in a struggle of forgiving and forgetting everything... until his prayer. The exact words were - let go of the passions of the past... and i just cried... very powerful.

The Lord gave me now the spirit to forgive and forget... but of course to bring the lessons from the experience. I might slide a bit but with God's grace I'll be able to be more mature as a Christian and more devoted to my walk with Him.

I just pray that those people who can't let go of their past encounters with me also forgets everything... besides, you can never walk fast if you have so much load to carry :)

"Get the Meat, Throw the Bones"

I am really glad that i'm back to the worship team this week... Last was a very hectic one for me that i was not able to join them in our practice. We had a good practice and I even had a one-on-one session with Pastor Tom! hehehe!!! Well, he really did't have a choice! I was the only one who was there on time... even earlier than him! :)

After our break, we met and discussed improvement opportunities that was given by the heads of the church - I think these were also feedback from the other members. I believe in continous improvement so most of time, I take feedbacks positively... well now. Then Josh, who happened to also be one of the Trainers in CX said this saying... "Get the meat, throw the bones" which should be our attitude when receiving feedback.

With what is happening in our company... i should apply the said principle. We are being sabotaged by people who I really don't know their intentions.

Well, I also believe that you can never put a good man down... so I am still positive that we'll be able to pull this off! With God's power and mercy, Victory will happen! :)

First Ever... A Neophite Blogger

It's been years since I longed to have a laptop... not really an 'uber bongga' one but i just want the feeling of being mobile and just look at the computer screen while eating, lying down, blah blah...

Now I have one... wipee!!! I am really so happy! Well, it's not that i'm being materialistic or what... it's the fact that I am feeling my hard-earned money again, away from my first comfort zone - Manila.

Now, I can fullfil my other dream - to put up a blog. Nah, I'm not a great writer nor a poet. It's just that I'd like to share a bit of my life to the cyberspace - moments of happiness, loneliness, anger... whatever. I envy (forgive me Lord) those people who makes a point to add in something to the ever-populated dabayoo-dabayoo-dabayoo.

My former collegues in Manila (well, they still are my collegues since they also belong to the QA team - but i'm in Davao now) have blogs, and I enjoy reading those. I hope that mine will also a readable one... hehe...

Toodooles! :)

A Love Letter You Will Never Read

It’s been eight years. I can’t believe we were able to survive Christmas and New Year celebrations without you. It’s been pretty tough, and ...
