Sisters In Faith

Some people think that it is better not to believe in God rather than believe in a God who expects you to obey rules and be perfect just like Him. I for one have numerous sins a day. Even the holiest of holies would be caught red handed once in his life. But from constantly being intimately aquainted with the Lord, He has taught me that it is actually more than obedience.  “ If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:15‬ ‭ESV‬‬ It is difficult for students to obey a strict and unfriendly teacher. There are people who always rebel against an unlawful and unqualified leader in the government. But if people add a little bit of love with obedience, it is much easier to obey. Let's say your mother asks you to clean your room which hasn't been cleaned for a week. You wouldn't do that for yourself if mother hadn't asked you to do it. But if mother says so, you will surely obey (sooner or later. Haha). Because she is your mother and you love her. I think

STOP PLAYING SAFE WITH YOUR FAITH. These were the words that taught me how to be BOLD. I am a servant of God in the nation of *****. I serve the Lord in the teaching ministry He has called me a long time ago. One of my greatest dreams, to be used more effectively by God, is to gain a "Teachers of English to Students of Other Languages Certificate," also called TESOL. As I was faithfully praying for God's opportune time for me to have this, an offer has been given by one of the deacons in our church. She mentioned that this might be her last term as she needs to go back to USA by next year. Also, they're giving the certification in a lower fee since they are working for a foundation. I was so glad when I heard this news. But the joy melted right away when reality struck me. Here are the list of things that came to my mind as I thought about the reality of my situation. 1. TESOL classes will be  on July 11 until July 29  but my flight to my nat

This is a love story. But a slightly different one. This is a love story between me and the Lover of my soul. And here is a list of the things that my Lover in heaven has done to me as we both journey in the (insert country here). He pursues me like no one else. His love thrills me every single time. I can't help but to share it. I used to think that love stories are only for two human beings in love with each other. Not until my Lord Jesus wooed me like never before. He told me, "I'm going to show you how great my love is for you! This time, when you think about 'The Greatest Love of All,' you'll think of no one else but ME." 1. My Healer and Protector There are four seasons in (insert country here) and it is so different from the sunny and rainy days in the Philippines. Whenever the weather changes in the Philippines, it is regularly expected that I'll be under the weather too. But when I got here, never have I gotten so ill comp

THIS IS A STORY FAMILIAR TO ALL OF US AT THE DARKEST POINT OF OUR LIVES. I HOPE YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF AS THE WOMAN AND YOU ARE THE ONE BEING CONDEMNED IN THE STORY. I DID. AND IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW LOVING, FORGIVING AND MERCIFUL OUR LORD JESUS TRULY IS!  ------------------------------------- "I am so ready to be stoned," I thought to myself. As I was dragged to the temple, I knew it was the last moment of my life. I was about to die the most excruciating way of death I have ever imagined. Stoned to death by the people who hate such an immoral person like me. And I KNOW I DESERVED IT . I deserved to be stoned to death for all the mistakes I kept on doing. I was an immoral person. Even I cannot stand my very own presence. I tried to stop this, but I can't. It was holding me down. My own sins imprisoned me to this mess. And there was no way of going out. No exit doors for sinners like me. I deserved death.  But there He was, teaching at the temple. The priests

"I am a God of faith and I'm going to honor your faith." "I'm going to do it swiftly in my time." - This is part of the prophetic word I received this year. One month has passed since the Lord answered my prayer.  I'm writing here in (insert country here) as a proof that God is truly a God of faith.   Five years ago, I stood up in church, claiming God's heart for me to serve Him as a world missionary. I had a chance to be part of a short term mission trip three years ago. But my desire to serve Him globally has not quenched even after a few years of serving Him in my hometown. I knew I had to step out in faith and do something so I can fulfill His plans for my life. I attempted to work in Singapore to become a tentmaker last year but to no avail. This year, I was given another opportunity to trust in Him and work out my papers for a job opportunity in China.  Imagine a continuous work out in the gym for six mon
