Jehovah Jirei

We had a fulfilling Sunday as usual and Pastor Ed was happy to announce that despite of not getting our usual camp site for the holiday season Bro. Gerry has found a new one. Again God has proven to us that He’s the great provider – our Jehovah Jirei. The mansion that we’re renting for 2 camp meetings now was rented by a Belgian national for one year and the owner was so sorry for giving it to that foreigner. We were only two weeks late from the Belgian’s proposal and Pastor was so sad about it last Monday.

God is so good that right after we learned about not making it to the reservation Bro. Gerry was successful in finding a new one in Indang, Cavite again where we had our fellowship in 2006 before our Tagaytay Venue. The owner of Villa Dominga Forest Resort is a new born-again Christian and upon learning that we’re interested in renting the place for December she agreed and gave us a discount. The place is a 3.3 hectare camping site with swimming pools and conference hall big enough for more than a hundred people.

Here are some pictures that I got online, I wasn’t able to scan the brochure that they gave us.

Sleeping On Tents!

Our church is always spending December holiday season and holy week on far-away camp sites far from the bustling metropolis. There we will put up tents and do our cooking on portable gas stove and some on charcoal. We usually have fellowship for three days and we bring clothing and food stock for the whole period because markets and groceries are usually very far from our chosen sites. As mommy to 3 kids I learned the technique of packing necessary things for the camp meetings because if you’re not that organized you might miss some essential things.

Camp meetings are the occasions that we really look forward to and we planned everything months before the fellowship. We’ve rented many places on our camp meetings, we’ve gone to DInalupihan Nature Center in Bataan, there’s one occasion that we’ve had it in Florida Pampanga, when I was a new baptized Christian in early 90’s I remembered our camp meeting in Rain Forest in Pasig City (not so far from us) and in Jabez camp site in Cavite.

Here’s one beautiful site that we’ve first experience sleeping on tents, it was a memorable experience for all of us so I’m sharing this to you. It was on Cerca, Brgy. Banaba, Indang,Cavite a place near Tagaytay City, a 2 hectare camping site full of fruit-bearing trees.

Planet’s Cutest Animal!

I found this picture really nice, look at those enormous eyes and very long limbs! Yes it’s the world’s smallest monkey having 10 to 15 cm only in length and can be seen in Southeast Asia and here in the Philippines you can see them in Bohol. Osang shared me this picture taken by her hubby while they’re on a vacation in one of the resorts there. It just captured my attention and decided to post it here. I’ve heard that it’s the earth’s cutest animal with very soft, velvety fur but careful because even if it’s cute it can’t be your pet at home! Anyway tarsiers are being protected by the government as they’re so precious! Just a reminder only!

Feels Like Heaven!

Have you ever tried taking pictures of the skies and clouds while traveling on an airplane? Well the son of my friend did that to pass away the time boarding the plane. And it’s also becoming a hobby to Juno (name of the kid) to take pictures wherever he go. I told his mom that he could be a good blogger because most bloggers like me are like that – fond of taking pictures even if sometimes people thinks I’m a little less than ordinary lol! Anyway here are some of the sky shots taken while boarding the plane from Cebu to Manila!

Kuya's Birthday

Today is my brother’s birthday, the eldest to me and Redge. Unlike past years he didn’t prepared a big celebration. They were shopping for goods for their Sta. Lucia’s booth store so they opted to celebrate on a different date.

Kuya is the first among us who experienced God’s overwhelming grace and glory, I remember those mornings spent sharing God’s word. I was on an afternoon shift then and he’s starting his construction company, we’re still single at that time so we have every morning to spare to talk and share God’s word. It was when I felt the urge to feel and know more about God. God used my big bro in my realization of God’s wonderful love to me. Since that first fellowship way back Sept. 26, 1992 where he has brought me and Redge to House of God church my life has changed. On Oct. 25 of that same year we were baptized.

Now Kuya is very busy with his government office work and construction company but still manage to have three bible study in a week wherein he shares God’s word to people in Cainta, Infanta, Quezon and Calamba, Laguna. He’s an Evangelist Engineer and he heed to God’s calling spending his personal money and never asking for return. He told us God will return the blessing to Him. He told us it’s better to help people who can’t return the favor to you because that’s the true spirit of giving – not asking or waiting anything in return.

I thank God for giving us a big brother like him, a college scholar who uses his wisdom in sharing God’s word and uses his hard-earned money to help others. Like the title of his newly-created blog for sharing God’s word he truly has a Servant Heart.

Bohol Picturesque Sceneries

Downloaded Osang’s picture of Bohol’s magnificent beach and resort where they had a vacation for her birthday and their wedding anniversary. Sweet celebration don’t you think? Anyway they’re all alone as they’re accompanied by their mothers and their sons. Much like a family vacation to me but it’s also happier like that because at least they can endorsed their kids on evenings and have dinner date near the beach, I’m getting very romantic these days! Here’s some of the beautiful pictures!

Browsing New Templates

It’s Ramadhan holiday today! Me and sis Redge were busy with choosing new template for our blogs. I want to change my layout template for my other domain blog ‘Moments of My Life’. I’m thinking if I will do it now because it will take me time to completely change and I’ll have to save the codes to be sure that I’ll be able to put back the codes in case it didn’t showed up in the new template. I decided to do it next time that I have free time because I have to do some due assignments on my other blog. I’ll be leaving also a little later to attend bible study in Cubao. Josh was asking me if he could come with me and I said I’ll think about it. I’ll bring him with me but I’ll just surprise him later.

Health is Suffering

I have to decide what to do with my resignation. I’m thinking of agreeing to what my boss was telling when I resigned last May that I work at home and report twice a week. I didn't agree with that schedule as my Mom and my family really needs me but until now I don't have someone to turn over my load. I was worrying about my health I’m working myself too hard, keeping up my blogs and sleeping 2-3 hours only everyday. I need to have my B.P. checked up as I know I’m always on the side of low blood pressure. Hope I’ll be able to decide this matter as soon as possible.

Tired From Yesterday’s Travel

I’m still tired from yesterday night’s travel to Laguna. Thank God it’s Sunday today and I thanked Him also for guiding us all in our trip, holding my brothers hand in driving our way to my cousin’s wake. Even if we crossed the zigzag and mountainous roads of Laguna God never failed to stretch His guiding hand on us. I really felt His hand holding our car when we suddenly encountered a zero visibility winding road due to fog. Without God on our side we will never be able to pass that road safely. God is good all the time!
