Remembering one's Desire
The world has made us desire for a lot of things. I remember a time when I used to daydream. I imagined myself driving an expensive sports car while going home to my dream house. I was enjoying those moments but then I realized that more than the material desires of my heart, something is still missing. Its a question of what to prioritize if I were to live and pursue a good and better life. None of us knows before hand the exact time of our death but what we do know is that we will all die.
I just thought that i need to ensure to the very best of my ability to have a life and ask God to grant me the grace of salvation. I kind of realized that I was so absorbed with myself that God had no space in my heart. I may have known God by knowing what is right and what is wrong but i had failed to seek God's kingdom. It just came to mind that i must work my way to be closer and have a personal relationship with our God.I knew that time that the kingdom of God is already at work at that very moment of my life.
These memories of how i've known God personally has given me the chance to appreciate the effort given to me by my family, my widowed mom especially my eldest sister in bringing me to the CFC community which became the venue of my faith to the Lord our God. As part of the Music ministry, I witnessed how God's gentle presence comes upon the congregation through the praising and worship songs that we sing while playing the instruments with other members of the music ministry.
Desiring God may not be easy but i may say that it will be worth it. May we constantly desire the Lord our God, for in desiring Him,We reap his Blessings. May God be praised !
May We Desire God in this Sign of times

On Being Still..
Being Still..
Our world today is hurting and is in desperate need of healing. Atrocities of war, pangs of poverty and hunger, all sorts of corruption and moral degeneration are so rampant and widespread that they have become part of day-to-day life. Attempts to solve these problems have been futile, thus Man-made solutions have proliferated.
I had my share of life's hardships. I've gone through struggles to make life worthy as it is. I had to make a drastic career change and learn a line of work with neither previous experience nor formal education when i decided to migrate in a different land. What has kept me and my family going despite these trials is His "Divine intervention". I have been blessed to serve Him through a community for almost half of my life. As I live life into service, I begin to experience all sorts of Healing. He moves me to accomplish a mission and supplies my family's every need. He gave me Peace for every Doubts that comes along, Joy for every Sorrows and Trust for every Anxieties and Fears that dwells in during those times of difficult trials.
We are surrounded with all the comforts of modern day world. Our will, by nature, prefers the darkness. I still becomes skeptic about His presence despite the fact that He had extended His loving hand and helped me to survived some of the most trying times in my life. I cannot seem to sustain the "heavenly experience" of His presence. However, everytime I look around me and I find people who love me like my family,friends, a job that allows me to have fun, travel and serve others at the same time, all the skepticism fades away just like a wink of an eye. I just got this true source of Healing where i draw my stength especially when my resolve is weak..Hope you too finds the same Healing everytime there are difficulties in your life. Lets all be Still in Life..
