I will praise you in the storm: after sendong

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy fallsseek help and healing. 
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Its hard to praise the Lord when our hearts are filled with pain and sorrow and so much grief but then the Lord deserves our praise and worship so we still choose to worship Him. Its a way to reach out to Him in praise and worship, we can cry out to the Lord and seek for healing, comfort and assurance that things will be ok in the end. It has been said in His word that we may suffer but these things will come to an end for weeping stays for a night and in the morning comes rejoicing coz  our hope is in the Lord and no one can take that away from us. Still we choose to praise God in the storm. We choose to cling to Him.

A day of smile

December 11,2011  Was a day of smile. A day of smile to the Badiongon kids, parents and visitors. The days before December 11,2011 were rainy days from monday to saturday. And from monday to saturday I prayed for sunshine and it was an answered prayer. Praise God!, He gave us a sunny and happy day. I was worried coz there was no bigger and covered place where we can have our party but the backyard of one of the houses there, if the rain poured it would be such a lonely christmas party. Thank God also for those who shared their time and blessings to make the party a success, it was something the children will remember for the rest of their lives. It was just something to those who shared, but to the children it was something that made the birth od our saviour special. A day of smile for the parents and the visitors who also laughed and played with us. And the food was a manifestation of God's faithfulness and goodness.

The last fun run that I had for this year. Its nice, though I was not able to have the training before the run but still I ran for it was for a cause. It was for or handicapped brothers and sisters and Im glad through running I was able to share my blessings and also had picture taking with the handicapped brothers. The first time I saw a race with wheelchairs and there was joy in the faces of the racers. I plan to participate in races or fun runs that will be helpful for our less fortunate bothers and sisters. Let us support them.

1st of December

Time swiftly passed me by. It was January then but now the year is about to end and its the first day of December. On this 1st day of december  Im so excited to go home to Cebu and be with family and friends and excited for that holiday rest. 1st day of december makes me think of the days that I think of no  work, no stress and all smiles and Im excited to see my cute nephew Aerhon. 1st day of december reminds me of so many lists to complete, things to plan, people to meet, parties to attend and a lot more. But, the most important person born on this day should not be forgotten, Jesus. Maybe He has been knocking at the door of our hearts long before and this time lets allow Him to enter and be the Lord of our lives. We could be busy with activities and all but Christmas is about the saviour who died at Calvary for our sins. 1st day of december reminds me of the day when I too opened my heart for Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and saviour. The unfogotten day when tears of joy fell from my eyes and felt God's hands embracing me with so much love and welcome. The day that I felt joy so intense, felt like angels were there also welcoming me.

1st of december brought back the days living of not knowing Him as Lord and saviour, recalled the times just how God prepared me for this meeting Him. It was no accident, all things happened for  a purpose and now we are all like lost sheeps, He is willing to leave all the 99 behind just to find the lost one, coz He wants that no one should perish. And now my hearts' desire is to see friends, relatives, officemates one day when the roll is called up yonder, I hope we all will be there.
