Before School Starts..

yep..the title says it all..baka pag may pasok na e..ayun..inde na ako masyado makapag-post..so..ayan..

just soooo thankful kay Lord..it's just amazing to see the Lord working sa vacation ko..mula pa talaga nung simula ng year..He's given me a lot..sakto lagi ang timing ni Lord..syempre diba..si Lord un e..^_^

start of the year..binulaga ako ng exams..na mejo nakaka-down..nung mga panahon na yun e was already having thoughts of summer classes..but still..nakakagulat na the day after sabihin ko na "wala na.." e biglang lakas loob ko na sasabihin naman na "kaya pa 'to!" paulit-ulit..such an encouragement in the midst of adversity e..oo nga hindi nga ako nakasama sa Singapore..nakapasa naman ako ng 2nd year..all through God's grace..tulad nga ng sinabi ko sa previous posts..nakabawas sa gastos un!

Inayos ni Lord yung schedule ng kuhaan ng clearance..april 2..no conflict with camp whatsoever..so mas focused ako nun..kasi syempre dun ko nalaman na pumasa ako sa Physics and all the others..Glory to God! He gave a fresh anointing nung camp, which was such an enjoyable 5 days for me (kasi advanced party ako..), although to some degree e may frustration pa rin..hehe..so after nun..looking forward to DVBS and Mission Trip '07..

in between, He led me to read The Final Quest..through that book, i believe that He increased my wisdom to a certain degree..and i thank Him for that..it really is something..

DVBS preparations..onting pamomroblema sa materials, etc..we prayed for it..and so it was..si Lord ang nag-provide ng lahat ng materials..sumobra pa! He provided the strength and endurance para tumagal ako sa DVBS part 1 & 2..hehe..tapos kahit papaano e nakapahinga ako nung Family Day..hehe..

I prayed for the Lord's provision para sa Mission Trip..kasi siyempre mahirap nang humingi..and the Lord gave more than enough! nakasama ako! and may binago nanaman Siya saken..for the better, of course..enjoy ang mission trip!

I prayed for a good scheduling ng pre sectioning and enrollment..aba..June 5 ang pre sectioning and enrollment..so far so good 'di ba..!

Of course, hindi mawawala ung prayers ko para sa tuition, etc..in other words..provision for the coming semester..and indeed He is the Great Provider..ayan na..i'm enrolled..fully paid na ang school fees..maganda ang schedule ng section namin..

All glory, honor, power, and praises belong to the LORD! He has been and will be my Provider, my Strength, and everything that I need..He has been and will be faithful to provide for all our needs according to His riches and glory..and the keys: PRAYER and FAITH..

I pray that you be inspired..not by my consistency in prayer or my strong faith, or by what i have received through these..but by the power of the Lord our God and my testimony of His greatness..God Bless You, Reader..
