We're Connected!

Finally, after a 'long' wait we finally have internet connection here in our house. We got the streamyx combo since it's the cheapest package we saw with the 1mb speed. All the other cheaper packages have very low speed. Now, with out unlimited internet connection I can get in touch with family back home AND continue with my blogging career ( grabbing and posting paid tasks).

What I like about our internet package is that it also gives us a landline phone for FREE. So, we just don't get internet connection but also a landline connection. But I've also heard of voip technology where we can call anywhere in the world through the use of internet and it's cheaper than landline calls.

But as of now, I'm already happy for our new internet and landline connection. I hope and pray that I'll be blessed with more opportunities for 'paid tasks' in the blog world.

Bring Them Here to Me

God knows our hearts and our situation. Just last night, our family has been discussing some struggles. thought of solutions and at the end prayed about it. And today, I was so blessed and encouraged by my devotional reading in Streams of the Desert. Even if this devotional book was written over 50 years ago, but the exhortation of God's word through this just went right through my heart and deals with our present situation.

Here is an excerpt of that reading:

Bring them here to me ( Matthew 14:18)

Do you find yourself at this very moment surrounded with needs, and nearly overwhelmed with difficulties, trials, and emergencies? Each of these is God's way of providiing vessels for the Holy Spirit to fill you. If you correctly understand their meaning, you will see them as opportunities for receiving new blessings and deliverance you can receive in no other way.

THe Lord is saying to you, " Bring them here to me." Firmlu hold the vessels before HIm, in faith and in prayer. Remain still before Him, and stop you own restless working until He begins to work. DO nothing that He Himself has not commanded you to do. Allow God time to work and He surely will. Then the very trials that threathened to overcome you with discouragement and disaster will become God's opportunity to reveal His grace and glory in your lif, in ways you have never known before.

" Bring ( your needs) here to me. "

Happy Birthday to my Dear Sister!!

Today is a special day!!

It's the ___th ( secret!) birthday of my dear Sister Mayet. She's not just my sis but my very close friend whom I can share with, laugh, pray with and all the other things sisters and friends do.. not to mention color each other's hair, do foot spa , pedicure and etc . ( oh, she does all these for me..without a cost,.! heheh!) She's a loving sister who you can count on to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth ( no holds barred!) if you ask her opinion on looks, clothes, decisions and everything.

I thank God for her life.. I thank God that even if we were so quarrelsome when we were still small but now, we've become so close. That's God's love and how He changes us all. As what my Nanay use to say, Mayette is really one changed and transformed life... a life changed from glory to glory.. because of God's grace and love.

Happy Birthday May!! We love you and miss you soo much!!
