Heids

A great woman of God 

It was the last day in the office of this woman who's faithful
I never thought this could be this painful
Our eyes still hurt and it was so wonderful
Oh! At the same time, I'm sad and grateful


Sad that I'll cease to be with her everyday
Grateful that our friendship happened anyway
I'll try to be happy in my classes today
Knowing that hugging her's just a prayer away


I'll miss her hands on my hair and face
Her make up skill, my waterfall and all other braids
I'll certainly miss all her encouragements
and of how confident she is that our needs will be met

What a privilege to witness her servant heart 

I can declare that she's really set apart

I can't help but ask "Why is it Dad that we have to part?" 

He answered with a comfort that in Him,

we'll never be apart

Heids

I'll always admire how you listen to our God
I know you'll continue to shine for our Dad
Your strength will still be found on the One who shed His blood
May you just always be secured in His great love


Heids

Thank you for helping my dream come true
You made it possible for me to be Fuu!
Thank you for believing for my next season too!
Please don't forget to be in my pre-nup uy!

Lovin' these 7 Christian Songs [January 2018]!!!!

Here's a list of some songs that are  on repeat these days in my ear, mind and heart (they are not necessarily new songs but they're new to me, so..) Plus my reasons why I currently love them!  Maybe you can add them to your playlist too! :")


7. Known - Tauren Wells

January. Ah, New year. New. It's a fresh start and I wanted me to be a better version of myself. I'm excited! But what happened was.. I sinned. I made wrong choices. I failed to fulfill a commitment. My "Yes" didn't become a "Yes". It was so terrible and I hurt people that God blessed me with.  Here I am again - such a sinner and it was hard again to forgive myself even after apologizing to Him and to the person I hurt. Eventually, He revealed His forgiveness and His love for me. I was so amazed again at how He could still love someone like me. HUHUHUHU. Thus,  I loved this song my Tauren Wells!

It's so like You to keep pursuing

It's so like me to go astray

But You guard my heart with Your truth

A kind of love that's bullet proof

And I surrender to Your kindness

I'm fully known and loved by You

6. Soar - Meredith Andrews

I just love declaring this song! It's from the verse Isaiah 40:31 which says

"But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

I’m gonna run and not grow weary

I’m gonna walk and not grow faint

Rise up on wings like eagles 

To soar

I know with everything You’re with me

I know you’re working as I wait

Lift me up on wings like eagles

To soar

5. For Your Purpose - Victory Worship

This year will be  a purposeful year and I want nothing less than His purposes for me! I really love this song from Victory Worship!

You shape me, inside and out

You made me to be all about

About You

What can I do without (You) ?

So tell me who I am

Remind me of Your plans

Lord, You know me more

You know it all

So, tell me who I am

Remind me of Your plans

I wanna know You more

Know You more!

4. Good Good Father - Chris Tomlin

We sang this during a worship service in Victory Baliwag and I love the song anew! I heard this before pero ngayon lang tumama ng soooobra.  :")

Oh, it's love so undeniable

I, I can hardly speak

Peace so unexplainable

I, I can hardly think

As you call me deeper still

As you call me deeper still

As you call me deeper still

Into love, love, love

3. Always Enough - Kari Jobe

I'm in the season wherein the cliche's are being real.  I'm currently in the pursuit of really living for Him. It's being real that  He is  enough. More than enough for me.
This song is the cry and the declaration of my heart these days. Haaaay.. NKKKLG!!!!!

I will find my life in You

You're always enough

Always enough

Let the fullness of Your love

Be all I need

All I need

Consume me, come like a fire, oh God

Reign in me

For You alone will satisfy

There is no other

2. What love is this - Kari Jobe

Will always be amazed of His great love!

What love is this, that You gave Your life for me

And made a way for me to know You

And I confess You're always enough for me You're all I need

I look to You, I see the scars upon Your hands.

And hold the truth, that when I can't You always can.

And standing here beneath the shadow of the cross.

I'm overwhelmed that I keep finding open arms.

1. Beautiful - Kari Jobe

and, I will always be amazed of who He is! His beauty makes me utterly speechless. Nothing else to say but... BEAUTIFUL!!!! :")  This is a great song to listen to or to sing to Him before reading the Bible/ having your date with Him/ spending time with Jesus. It's for those times that  you just want to surrender yourself fully to Him and be in awe of Him.

Here before Your altar

I am letting go of all I've held

Of every motive, every burden

Everything that's of myself

And I just wanna wait on You, my God

I just wanna dwell on who You are

Beautiful, beautiful

Oh, I am lost for more to say

Beautiful, beautiful

Oh Lord You're beautiful to me

Here in Your presence

I am not afraid of brokenness

To wash Your feet with humble tears

I would be poured out till nothing's left

That's it for the list folks! Remember that worship is more than a song. It's a lifestyle to live.

Enjoy worshiping the ONE who is ultimately WORTHY!!!

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another  in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritiual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16

Fort Santiago

It was my first time in Fort Santiago! And  it was super fun because of these ladies!
We had a quiet alone with Daddy too! Seeking Him personally and corporately!!!

Answered 2017 Faith Goals!!!

It's that time of the year again wherein I'm excited  to make Daddy smile through my faith (by having my Faith Goals!!!). Every year, my church (Victory / Every Nation) usually have  Prayer and Fasting week. It is " to dedicate the year to the Lord and seek His will."   I've been participating since 2012, saw a lot of breakthroughs and grew in my relationship with Him.  It simply became one of the highlights of my year!

Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” JOSHUA 3:5 (ESV)

If you want to do it with us this year, you check this site: https://victory.org.ph/join-us-as-we-pray-and-fast-in-2018/

 Anyway, before I write my 2018 faith goals, let's look back on how God heard and miraculously made a way for my Faith Goals last year.

"...2017. To say it's been a roller-coaster would be a huge understatement. I had my lowest and my highest points in the same year and there were times I felt like I was just floating-- unable to feel because there were too much happening all at once. But at the end of it all, whether I'm grateful, grieving or trying to heal/feel again, I find myself with  no questions at all... just an abundance of peace. Because when nothing else is sure, I know His love for me is. Always. And this year made sure that was enough confidence for my heart to make it through anything. 2017, you were one crazy ride but I'm grateful you happened. Thank you for making me braver."

Very well said,  Moira dela Torre.

It was a great year because of the GREAT GOD alone. :") 

I'm super expectant for 2018 only because of our GREAT GOD and  DAD.

Always remember though that JESUS is our GREATEST BREAKTHROUGH. 

*closing the booklet and will open another one! :")
