wingm8:Paano ka mag celebrate ng Holy Week?
Me: Hindi ako nag celebrate..parang vacation na lang since lahat sarado etc.
Yesterday morning sobrang na enjoy ko yung katahimikan since my workplace/my computer katabi lang ng bintana..
Serene skies, dark green narra leaves w/ pink flowers..Birds singing and yung wind hindi kelangan ng fan.I was smiling while staring outside my room ng mag play ang song na 'to "How Sweet it is to be Loved by You" : )
Well, Holy Week reminds me of Him dying on the cross for me. Holy Week reminds me that I am special, loved and worth dying for so why mourn but instead I rejoice.
Feeling grateful and loved makes me do a lot of things..show kindness to others etc. because. . .
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us
(1 Jn. 4:8-12, NIV).
I've been "super nice" for the past 2 weeks at kahit ako medyo nagtataka sa sarili ko. Medyo magyayabang ako..God forgive me : )
During our Dorm Week I was able to meet one of our dormmates itago natin sa pangalang Christian ng E2 haha Naramdaman ko at nakita ko his sincerity at napakatotoo at mabait na tao. He mentioned na kaya cya mag join ng Ms Ipil para may pandagdag sa pambili ng cellphone since nawala sa UP Fair ang phone nya. Council ako ng dorm at alam ko na ang prize ay "gift certificate" worth 300 sa lugawan ni Ate Margie :( That night I knw God wants me to bless him..a new cellphone. Naisip ko I'll buy a new phone for me then ibigay sa kanya ang old phone ko BUT "napagalitan" ako ni God hehe "BLESSING MEANS THE BEST..NEW PHONE NOT OLD"!
Last Tuesday I went to CCP to get my salary at bago pa magbago ang isip ko pumunta na ako ng SM to buy Christian's cellphone (hindi ako mayaman at madami rin akong kailangan bilhin & have bills to pay KUNG HINDI KO LANG NADINIG SI GOD hahaha) I was tempted to buy the 1000k plus na NOKIA pero walang radio meaning hindi pa rin pasado kay God so I bought d one na medyo ok na..same model & brand ng phone ko. Last Tueday binigay ko kay Christian ang phone and I felt so good and blessed knowing I made someone happy at naparamdam ko na nakikinig si God sa dasal nya. I told Christian, madaming humihingi ng tulong ang hindi ko natulungan, madami din na kailangan ng tulong na hindi ko nabibigyan pero iba kapag naramdaman ko sa puso ko na sinasabi ni God "bless him"..Christian, nadinig ko si God!
Same day nag date kami ni Mam June (co-teacher) nai-treat ko si mam sa Tokyo2. Overflowing joy kaya nai share ko sa kanya about d phone I bought. I was smiling the whole time & made kwento kung gaano ako kasaya ngayon..I saw something kay mam..and wish maramdaman nya din ang nararamdaman ko : ) Mam June loves God so much & been a devoted wife & mom, nice person, good friend, sensitive sa needs ng iba, generous..SELFLESS yun si Mam. The next day she text me para pasalamatan..hindi lahat ng oras materyal ang kailangan ng ibang tao..minsan ang oras mo, minsan naman ang ngiti mo : )
I have na my new jogging/walking buddy : ) si future Atty. Mae haha Dating wingm8 dito sa dorm but since kelangan nya ng mas tahimik na lugar para maka concentrate sa pagbabasa ng sankaterbang libro at i memorize lahat ng batas kya nag boarding house cya. From time to time we eat out, our early morning jog/walk session, minsan nakikitulog sa room ko at nakikireview. Enjoy kami sa company ng isa't isa dahil she loves to listen pero wala akong sasabihin na hindi cya magtatanong..aalamin nya lahat kahit pinakasimpleng bagay at she'll try to explain/"decipher" bakit nangyayri yun etc : ) lawyer nga! And me, loves to talk and make kwento..I speak my mind : )
Yesterday I was with Mae to eat lunch and meet her classmate Peter. After lunch umuwi kami dito sa Ipil para maki review na din sila. Nakibasa na din ako since madami din ako need basahin..pinagtimpla ko ng Choco si Mae, binigyan ng water si Peter gave them cupcakes, biscuit, cheesewhiz. Nagdala din ng snack si Virg their blockmate. Mae was laughing kasi nagugulat si Peter kasi inaasikaso ko sila. :) Peter went home at nag-iwan ng thank u note. I asked Mae bakit ba parang hindi kayo sanay ng may nag bless sa inyo wala na bang tao na ganito? And Mae answered, WALA NA!! :(
Sa skul..bakit nga ba minsan mas inuuna ko ibang tao kesa sarili ko kahit may malaking epekto sa akin. Dahil din siguro dun ko mapaparamdam sa iba na mahal sila ng Diyos..
Well, I feel blessed kasi madami akong friends na nag share sakin ng blessings nila..my Victory family normal ang nagbibigay..pera, oras, ngiti, saya minsan kotse pa nga..as in nice car , their millions & cents etc
Oo nga madaming hindi nakaka experience ng love ni God kaya all the more dapat maging blessing ako. Hindi dapat tuwing Mahal na Araw lang nagiging mabuti ang tao. His blessings & love yan ang meron ako dapat lang na i share..dapat lang!!
great testimony MiMie!!!!
