ON MY WORLD OF ROUTINES

I crossed the rain 7:00 in the morning. From tiny drizzle to real rain. Shall I concede or proceed? I missed this. Its been more than a month.My heart pounding, I'm decided, I followed through. I got soaked but after a few distance the rain ceased. I'm now back.I found myself beside the seashore, inside my biblepassaged-named cottage.

Divert daily, Withdraw weekly, Abandon Annually. This principle saved my life and ministry from the dangers of exhaustion. I missed my Monday mornings with the Lord in this place,"My heart cries." As always the Lord never failed to show up every time I'm in this place. I consider it my Meeting Place with God. The cottage became more than just a shelter.  I cant discount the fact of how my Monday mornings helped me align my perspectives, refreshed my soul, rebuked my self, restore my passion and receive wonder strategies and revelations. I'm even more consistent with my Monday mornings than my devotionals.Over a cup of coffee and fine chip to nimble. I'm solved for my first appointment in the morning.

I eat my lunch at a restaurant somewhere.That varies.I always get for myself something that's cold, halo-halo is my favorite. I visit a bookstore. With my latest visit I met some JAMC people from Brent. Cool, these guys are interested in books too. I'm now done with my current book. Wondering What's next?

I'm excited for my next stop. Watched X-MEN first class. Monday is also my movie day. I loved how the x-men story started and evolved. Yet I liked better the X-MEN wolverine movie. Nonetheless, 100 Pesos is sulit! I immediately rushed to the center and changed clothes for my next stop for which I'm also very excited. I got elated when I saw the runner's track, I love jogging.Grandstand here I come. But grr.... after three rounds, rain again came.sigh... No sunset boulevard. No balot. No mountain Dew. No sunset reflections. But still it was great. I went back to the center, walk across the room, chit-chat with people and laugh around with them. My day still is complete. Refreshing.Inspiring.Healthy. I'm now ready to dip my hands, mind and heart for the week's boatload of work. Meeting with the campus leaders, organizing campus service, meetings with disciplers, staff meetings, one-on-one meetings, message preparation for Sunday.

It's already one week now. I'm indeed back on track. ON MY WORLD OF ROUTINES.

P.S. I'm not confined. I'm just intentional.

Wrapping Up:Historia feriarum finem

JUST AN HOUR PASSED 11:00PM my mom and I had some arguments about whether I'll stay or leave.Stay or leave.Stay or leave! I wanna leave, mom wants me to stay. The argument became heated!In case you wanna know why. Here it is.I'm writing this blog right now at exactly 12:35 AM in my time at Dasmarinas, Cavite, listening to one of my favorite song NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE by Planetshakers via youtube. Again in case you wonder what brought me here, that's what the argument was all about. 

EARLIER this afternoon we agreed to meet at mcdo UN Ave. I accompanied my brother who just took his admission exam and interview. After such, we decided to move all the things from UN to Dasma where my cousin lives. She told me, "help us carry some things,let's move to Dasma and later tonight you can go back to Binondo, stay overnight at the Condo."Know what? That didn't happen.Why? because before 10:00PM tonight Mom had this "overprojecting the situation or seeing the future mom instincts(you know what I mean)" she just overheard some kanto guys outside the subdivision talking that there are holduppers lurking around the place.Ish! and now I'm stucked here.

Anyways, it dawned on me just now that this is my last day of stay here in Manila. Later is the much awaited, sold-out concert of Hillsong United and after that I'll be on my way to the airport on board A320 airbus bound home. Time is short not just that, Time is fast. Vacation is up!

I thank the Lord for the experiences, series of opportunities, overflowing favors. I have attended 3-day ignite campus conference, attended 3 great churches last Sunday, MOA bonding with old friends, Starbucks coffee sucking time, bible study at the Skyrise condo with a friend who's so mailap sa word of God, bonding at Divisoria with Mom and bro, standing position sa bus on our way to Dasma, and tomorrow imax experience at MOA, to be concluded by breath taking and hilariously amazing time of worship with the world's premier worship team!What a nice ending for a summer vacation.

To the real difference maker, real life changer, real promise giver, my awesome lover, my faith finisher, starter and sustainer, to the One of whom is my reason to live and die for. To you alone be all glory and honor! At the end of all these it's ALL ABOUT YOUR GRACE!IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS! and I'm forever yours!

Homie pips! Excited to see you all guys!
