Blogs And More Blogs

What started as a hobby and a way to update my family about our lives aoverseas has already become a 'career' for me. Yes, I'm talking about blogging. :)

Just a few years ago, I started my first blog for my li'l girl in Friendster. Then later, I found Yahoo 360 and then my friend introduced me to Blogger. It was in Blogger where I was introduced to the whole blogosphere. And with my friends' encouragement, I then joined the world of pro blogging or paid blogging.

And here I am now, trying to juggle my free time to update and maintain all my 6 blogs. I never imagined myself to have 6 different blogs ( excluding my blogs for my kids). And if you ask me if I still want to add more blogs? Yes, I have one more blog coming and hopefully, it will be the last. :) It's actually a bit costly to have many blogs, because you need to buy your own domain and webhost. But as for me, I go for the cheap web hosting. But at the end, it's worth it especially if you plan to also earn through your blogs.

So, as of now, I would like to say that 'blogging' is my part time job. It's the part time job that fun and doesn't require much time and effort. And not to mention, that the earnings through my blogs have been a blessing for our family for the past months. Thank you Lord, for blogs!

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

I need more and more of these each day. And I believe all these fruit will just radiates from me if I firmly abide with my Lord. There are no short-cuts, there are no formulas but just by seeking and abiding with Him daily.

Pray for the Philippines

My heart still grieves every time I see the photos and videos of the flood that Typhoon Ondoy has brought to the Philippines last Saturday. Having experienced a flood ( last January 3rd this year) ourselves, I could imagine the terror and the fear of the people. This time it's a big scale flood that has take 100 lives, made 451,000 people discplaced and 115,000 people in the evacuation centers.

The following days would indeed be the crucial times as water, food and supply are most needed. As children and older people are likely to get sick and diseases at the evacuation centers. I can't imagine, the thousands of people who worked hard for years to build their homes and just see it destroyed and with all their belongings gone within a few hours time. I can't imagine the cries of the babies who want to be comfortable in their own beds but are just sleeping on the floor at the evacuation centers. I wonder , what the people are thinking about now...

"Lord, I pray for your mercy and help to be upon our people. Let your comfort and strength be upon them. And even let this be the time, when they can see You take care of them, provide for them through your children."

Please pray for the thousand of flood victims in Metro Manila. And please extend your help too. You can send your donations through Operation Blessings , a Christian foundation committed to help build people's lives.
