A Milestone on her 25th Day.

Malaysia

Cyberjaya Selangor, Malaysia. Today, Jennifer A. Bola is celebrating her silver years. I have known her when I was working in Makati City, Philippines. I attended a small group way back then and noticed of her child like character yet there’s a maturity when there’s an exchange of conversation and cheerful heart that caught my attention. From there, we started to share things everything under the sun and moon in the sky. Hahaha!

At this moment, I want to express my thankful heart for being thoughtful in spite of distance. You added a lot of laughter to your close friends and people around you. You amazed the heart of God by clinging unto his word everyday.

Now that you are 25^th years, I pray nothing but a humble and pure heart which I believe this will draw you nearer to God in absence or presence of people around you.

I want to share this verse:

2 Thessalonians 2:13  As for us, we can't help but thank God for you, dear sister loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation--a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.

Receive our prayers and hugs. Happy Birthday my dear sister tubby!

A Month of Love

As fewer and fewer hours stand between now and 14^th of February, I imagine that quite a few of us are expecting to share love on V-day. Some will certainly preparing for gifts for their special someone while others will gaze in the moon waiting for someone to come.

To all Singles! We may have unfilled desire for a very good thing that we think meant for us. We may be like a son or daughter saying to the Father "All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends" (Luke 15:29). We may think we are overlooked; unappreciated, maybe even unloved if not loved less. Let us not look on the temporal things the world could offer, let’s look on the real riches of following the will of God in our life. 

Common! Let’s fix our eyes to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. HE is our great rewarder more than anyone could offer. I believe that God is preparing the best for YOU... ME… and US.  The Bible says it's not good for man to be alone (Gen. 2:18)—He cares for you and me. So, let’s believe that the best person will come into our life in right time.  Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:22. Yeah, It's by faith!

Let’s immerse our heart to the Author of Love, Jesus. 

Salute to all who have found their partner in life. Happy V-Day!

Five Languages of Love

Readings courtesy of Crosswalk. 


Your love language probably differs from your spouse's. Each of us speaks and understands one that makes it easy for us to feel loved. If you try to communicate using only your native language, it may be foreign to your husband or wife. To be understood, you need to know - and speak - your spouse's language. Which is it?

Words of Affirmation: verbal expressions of appreciation, compliment, praise, and thanks, conveyed for the well-being of the one you love. Such communication demonstrates: encouragement - it inspires and motivates (not pressures) another to pursue a latent interest or achieve personal potential; kindness - it encompasses loving tones and truthful statements to build intimacy, express understanding, share difficult feelings, or show forgiveness; and humility - it requests instead of demands, asks instead of nags.

Quality Time: focused, undivided and uninterrupted attention, despite busyness and business. It is demonstrated in: togetherness - not just proximity, but the simple emotional connection and enjoyment of being with each other; meaningful conversation - sympathetic (not just solution-oriented) dialogue and active listening to share feelings, thoughts, and desires in a friendly uninterrupted context; and shared activities - doing things together that interest one or both of you just in order to create a unique experience and mutual memory.

Receiving Gifts: tokens or symbols of affection, caring, remembrance, and thoughtfulness. They may be tangible gifts - little (or big) presents that you've found, made, or purchased, given either at a special time or for no specific occasion; or gifts of self - your physical presence in important moments or times of crisis.

Acts of Service: happily doing things you know your spouse would like you to do or helping your mate with tasks that need to be done. Examples might include keeping the house clean, putting the toilet seat down, ironing, changing diapers, cleaning the garage, cooking or going out for dinner, or attending a symphony performance. Such acts require thought, time, planning, and effort. They are done in love - not fear, guilt, resentment, or duty - and may go against social or family stereotypes.

Physical Touch: communication of your love through the body's nerve endings, with sensitivity to what methods, circumstances, and timing your spouse finds pleasant. It includes hugs, kisses, hand holding, back rubs, sitting close, hair stroking, and, of course, regular sexual intercourse. It also encompasses long, empathetic embraces and tender touches of understanding when your spouse is in tears or times of crisis.

Remember, love is a choice that often involves sacrifice. But you'll deepen the affection in your marriage if you learn your spouse's love language and speak it regularly.

It is my annual activity going up to a solitary place where I listed down all my plans for the next year. It is also an evaluation of what has been transpired in my life for the past twelve months.

2011 has been is a year of breakthrough, deliverance and healing in my life. I traveled to a place where I have seen the beauty of God's creation. Now, 2012 is approaching-- I'm claiming God's favor in my life in every aspect of my life. I ask the Lord to strengthen my life, give me wisdom and discernment in making decisions, and a passionate heart for my loved ones.

This 2012, I will keep on going and pressing on what God has entrusted to me (Philippians 3:14). I will live in accordance to God's will and purpose (Zechariah 4:6). Make my life to be channel of blessing to everyone by God's grace. I would like to be used for God's greater purpose.

Bless my heart's desire this 2012, as I enter to a life that embraces possibility in this new season for God's glory. In Jesus Name.
