My Monologue


It started with my second blog, “win souls for Him part1” and I just want to post this as a remembrance from my co-actors and actresses on our first big event, Immortal Love: No Expiry last August12, 2010 at PUP. My role is an emo girl who is heart broken because of his boyfriend and tried to seek attention from parents and classmates and later failed. And all she has to do is to take drugs. Here it is..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh? Anong meron?! Bakit kayo nakatinigin sa’kin? Panget ba yung suot ko? Bakit kayo natatawa? Hindi niyo naman kasi ako kilala. Wla naman nakaka-initindi sa akin eh. ‘Ni minsan nga hindi ko naramdamang tanggap ako ng mga tao. Kahit pamilya ko nga walang paki-alam sa’kin. Mga kaklase ko? Palagi nalang akong iniiwan. Porket ba ganito ang buhok ko? Pananamit ko? Mga kantang hilig ko?
Lahat naman kayo ganyan ang tingin sa akin eh! Ganun naman palagi. Wala kayong alam kundi ang mang-husga! Ang mang-husga! Yung iba sa inyo, akala mo kung sino makatingin. Akala mo, may alam sila sa buhay ko. Bakit?! Alam ba niya lahat ng pinagdadaanan ko?
Lahat na ata ng problema nasa akin na eh! Yung boyfriend ko, iniwan din ako. Ngayon magtatanong kayo sa akin kung bakit?! Simple lang! Binuhos ko ang buong pagmamahal ko sa kanya. Lahat binigay ko, lahat lahat! At ano? Pagkatapos ng lahat ng ‘yon, nakuha niya pa kong lokohin. Nasira na nga ang buhay ko dahil sa kanya eh, pati pag-aaral ko nadamay na.
Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng ‘yon, nagkaroon ako ng mga kaibigan. Mga kaibigang tinawag kong “tunay na kaibigan”. Bisyo ang tinuro nila sa akin. Ang sarap kaya mag-drugs! Buti pa yung drugs, palagi mong kasama. Tama diba?! Walang problema, lahat magagawa mo. Pero ano sa huli?! Ako din ang talo. ‘Ni hindi ko makuha yung atensyon na hinahanap ko sa buong buhay ko. Wala naman talagang nag-mamahal sa ‘kin.
Kayo?! Kaya niyo ba kong mahalin?! Kaya niyo bang magmahal ng isang tulad ko?! Sus! Sabi niyo lang yan. Pero sa totoo lang, hindi!   
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope, many young students from my generation relatively feel the same way that Jesus is the only way to find love because He is the love.
Bring back all the glory to God for the success of the event. Congratulations, soldiers of God!
WALK THE TALK.
By the way, here are some pictures taken last August 12, 2010.






The funny thing about this is that, I can't clearly see the audience because of the spot light that's why I found myself "go with the flow". Unknowingly that I have my friends who are staring at me all the time and cheering me up all way long. Hihi. :)





Thank God for the courage, it's not easy to stand on stage, facing to all youth, delivering the script that is actually relating them. Whew! It's just a start.. I know many things will still come for Youth Alive-PUP.

You Do Not Belong to This World


My fellow sisters and brothers in Christ, I have a simple question for all of you. Why does every time we have problem we keep on thinking that life is so unfair, the world is against you and sometimes we feel that we hate the entire world?

I have an answer for that “sort of” sensible question.

You do not belong to this world! It’s simple as that. John 15:19 says, Jesus said, “If you belong to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you”. In what part of this world do you think we belong? I guess we have the same answer.

But before anything else, I would like you to think on how Jesus faces the persecutors in His time. What if you are one of the people in those times and actually see how they mock Jesus? How would you react? Jesus says, “If they persecute me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also” (John 15:20b).

Why they will treat you this way? Because of His name for they do not know the One who sent Him. They don’t even know who the Creator is. Until now, many of us encounter the same way. Different ways of persecution but have the same thinking that they hated God first. For me, it’s hard to face the truth that when you are being with God, the closer it gets the extreme persecutions you receive from different people.

See, it’s not only you who has the feeling of unfairness and hatred to this world! You have brothers and sisters with you. Fighting and keeping the faith is very important. Who will stand up for God until the end? Is it you? Let’s see how far you would go against the mockers.

Be proud that you do not belong to this world! Shout it and make them feel that Jesus is with you.

God bless. :)




BUSYNESS

Take it easy. Seize the moment. Have a break. .

How would you do these in the middle of school works, organization tasks and ministry? Students everywhere are too busy. Everyone does their responsibility without knowing the effects on them about these. It made me think of Jesus whenever He sees me while I’m doing my school works. Most of us are working for long hours at stressful stuffs just to meet targets. But at the end of the day, we crash into bed forgetting personal devotions and prayers, or maybe that’s just me.

Is He smiling because of my diligence? Is He proud of me because I have my attitude like no any other students have? Or He is sad because I may not remember Him while I’m at work and not glorifying Him because of busyness?

Yet, a fraction of my friends seem to be in the same situation. Tired and stressed in doing the same thing every week. Are you related on these? Or you’re just ignoring and denying that you are one of these?

Let’s put ourselves in this story. Philip, a soldier who is very courageous in everything he does is walking down the city of Gulliver. It is a busy city, full of vendors and very crowded. Until he saw a snatcher holding a bag of a lady rushing down the street trying to escape. He didn’t think twice and tried to follow the snatcher and ran as fast as he could. But he didn’t notice that he already bumped a vendor holding a bunch of oranges on the top of his head. The oranges rolled into the crowd as he tried to pick every piece of it and put back to the container. Philip doesn’t know what to do first. But in the middle of this, he picked up all the oranges from the ground and help the vendor put back into the container. Not only put back but he wiped out the dirt of each orange with his clothes. After this, he still tried to follow the snatcher but luckily, the policemen already caught him.

Lesson? We don’t just help because we ought to do but we should sincerely help the person because we are concern. Try to look on the situation of Philip. He didn’t just put back the oranges in the container but rather put it back and wiped out the dirt of the oranges. How sincere he was! What if you are in his situation? Will you do what he did? Or simply ignore what you have done?

Let’s have another story. Nathaniel the rich man is walking down the road sees the disabled woman on the corner of the street trying to cross the     road. His mind is in the process of making a choice if he will help the woman or not. “Shall I help her? I see this kind of thing on television. They say that in this time of need I should help her. But I’m late for work; I have meetings to attend and work to do. And if I help her, I have to stop for a minute and get dirty. Ah, I have more important things to do!”

Are we so busy that we do not remember the things that really please God? Let us be reminded that whatever we do, whether in word or deed do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus (Col.3:17). We are not pleasing the people around us in what we do for God. God knows the heart. He knows and sees how we offer our time and effort in everything we do.

Sometimes, we’re just simply passing the exams or subjects we have just to please other people. Just to end the day to escape the difficulties. We feel that our life lacks real power because of stress, pressure and busyness. Maybe it’s time to leave those things for a moment and go back to our Father and feel His presence. Think what really matters.

My God spoke to me in His letter. Here’s what the letter said..

To: You
From: God
Date: Today

Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today, I will be handling all of your problems for you. I do not need your help so have a nice day. I love you.

P.S.

And remember, if life happens to deliver a situation that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it by yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something for God to Do) Box. I will get it in my TIME. All situations will be resolved but in MY TIME, NOT YOURS.

Once the matter is placed in the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Focus on all wonderful things that are present in your life now.

God has seen you struggling; God says it’s over.

It’s time to have a break. Have a quiet time with Him.


God Bless!

WIN SOULS FOR HIM part1

The time has come for us, stepping another stone for our mission and vision. Last day, we had our practice for our upcoming BIG event on August 12, 2010 at PUP-main for the preparation of evangelical crusade we've planned one month ago. I am part of the committee since I am the assistant secretary of our organization, Youth Alive-PUP. And as I grabbed the opportunity to perform on the said event, I will act as an emotional girl, once called, EMO in a monologue. Well, it's not easy for me to act that way since I'm not an emo. But as time goes by, I realized that being an "emo" in that role will really help the students in the university to be part in the family of God. God loves "emo". Right? In what way? Since we are all sinners, God loves all the people in the world including those people who are heart broken and has emotional imbalance. And this is where God sees the heart. 

Going back, during our practice made me think in what way will I act to touch the heart of the audience. Will I cry? Will I make any change in my script into a drama one? Will I make a script that audience will laugh at? Or will I act as an "emo", a real emo that actually owning the true role that's not actually myself? In the end, I acted naturally in the practice. 

For you to have a better performance, you should take away all the things in your mind that blocks you to focus on your role. And of course, you must e serious enough. Thank God, even though we were only two who practiced that time (since others are busy and unable to attend) we are really thankful that God helped us to have practice once in a while.

Another day was over. Another day to thank God. I guess, God saw what we've done and I know that all of these is not in vain. :) I'm still praying for strength that I would be able to perform well on the actual event for the Lord. 

One week and 5 days left..
God still working on this. 
I'm gonna sleep. :)
Pray for us!


God Bless
