im back.


hello! how's everyone? how'd you spent your Holy Week? i went with our church to the Summer Conference at Clark and just came home this afternoon. it was SO HOT when i got home!! yup, it's officially summer.


im so blessed during my stay there.
thank you Lord. : ) at first, i hated where my room is located because there's no signal unless you get out of the room. and if you know me well enough, you know i hate staying in a place where there is poor signal. i just don't like it. so all i want is to finish the conference and be back and continue with my life.

but the Lord had other plans.


He made me realized that being there is not an accident, that He has a purpose for each and everyone of us. the theme of our conference is
The Testimony of the Church During the End Times. in every session, the Lord spoke to me. even if i don't want to listen. we are living at the latter part of the end times. and as the end is coming near, the days will become more and more difficult. isn't it so? when we read the newspapers, open the television, surf the net, we keep on hearing about the financial crisis.. people losing jobs, losing loved ones. people dying, accidents happen.. and so on. we now live in a scary time. honestly, im scared too. im scared that when the Lord comes, i'll be left behind. im scared because i know im not yet ready.. to face the Lord. i know i didn't live my life the way i should live it, the way He want me to. a speaker shared that the Lord wants to come already, but He is still giving us time to prepare. and that we are living in a time of extreme darkness. but God's people should be the light of the world. when people see us, they should see Christ in us. and God is our source of light. a lot of times, we live in darkness. we do things that we shouldn't do. but God sees our heart, He knows all about it. while running this race, we should look to the Lord. not to our left or right, not even on our back, so we won't fall.

someone prayed "Lord, even if we fall over and over again, we won't quit. we'll keep on standing up and run the race you have set before us..". im blessed by his prayer, and i know God heard it. i prayed silently in my heart. i told the Lord about my fears about the future, on falling into temptation, that i don't know how and if i ever will know how to forgive, i confessed my sins, and renewed my vow again. after that, i just felt so peaceful and joyful inside.


i encourage you to give your life to the Lord too. though we fail, yet we don't give up because in our defeats we learn how to be victorious in Christ. : ) we may forget the vows we made to the Lord but He will never forget and He will be the One to fulfill it in His time. let us be more than conquerors.


im sick now so im off to bed. goodnight, all. and Happy Easter! the tomb is empty!! : )
