From Politics to Sports

Char lang...this time, Joyfully Hopeful is invading the world of sports...hahahah i mean kids sports. Yesterday, i was offered by my sister to co sponsor the uniform of another soccer team. Since they are forming two different age groups of players, she was asking me to "adopt" the other kids group such that naming them THE JOYFULLY HOPEFUL KIDS soccer team...

I excitedly printed shirts for their uniform and of course showcase the shirts plus the streamer of the Joyfully Hopeful during their soccer game this weekend...whitweewww...

At this point, i guess, we need to look for other sponsors to support their needs. I need not act as the coach hahahaha over to the max...Dennis, my sis husband will do that for us...Amen...

...so how is that? ...from politics to the invasion of kids' sports - soccer ...Doing God's business ha...:-) At my end, i am slowly toying with the idea of giving them formation .....hahahahhaha ...pinaparaket ako ni God ngayon ...free raket hahahahahha

Feeling the Beat

I was simply visited by emptiness this morning. I felt so overwhelmed by its intensity and it left me helpless facing it. I felt some other force is in control and allowing such space to feel the "beat".

So how is that for the beat? Can you imagine such empty space to "beat"? I define beating in an empty space as the movement like that of a heart that tries to expand and reduces its size to rest...trying to beat while expressing its longing to be filled up by that which it only knows. Wow...i feel like my heart is expanding too while i write this part. But this is how it is and how it happened this morning.

My emptiness. The longing. The cry. The heart that knows what it wants. The heart that knows and desires for something...for that Someone to come in. It wants so much to absorb and be saturated by that Someone.

Again, it knows what it wants...it knows that it can only be filled by HIM that made it.

Take Care of them

-the beauties and the best-

Before i got my current job, i was weighing among different options. The "majors" were between the academe and the industrial setting. But my heart was quite heavy when the opportunity came to teach college students and do part time teaching in the Graduate School. I was not quite certain of the purpose of the discomfort, not until i landed this current job handling employee trainings of a particular company.

Ever since i started with training i hear it loud and clear...this is what HE WANTS ME TO DO...train HIS PEOPLE...to TAKE CARE OF "THEM" for HIM...for HIS PURPOSE FOR THEM...and tindi.........while i led the participants into a simple and deep quiet for them to get in touch with themselves...i feel a "touch and tickle" inside...and i simply felt that fun of making my LOVE ...MY BIG BOSS up there...SO ...OHH SO HAPPY...hehehehehhehehe ... do you now feel how much joy i am feeling doing what i am doing? ....Amen...

Big Day's Surprise

I am so very "mababaw" in terms of finding joy and happiness...i easily get that lately and i always get a reason to be happy...i don't wait for happiness to come...i beg for the grace to be that and woooshhh it comes ( i get a lot of support up there:-)

But this morning October 21, 2010 is not like any other day though ...(though i tend to make each day different from the others heheh), i had one of the most beautiful surprise of receiving a comment from one of the most popular bloggers here in the Philippines...wow...bai feels like crying - Toni Tiu of Fit to Post jud...oo nga naman call me babaw but that's how it is with me.

I am a neophyte with blogging and i write my heart out. I feel like some nobody that is just trying to do not really head way but "play" or call it a playground through words without considering grammar and whatsoever formal English writing has. This is me and this is how it is with me...

But the comment just made me so inspired to "fire" for the day's training...i just thought how such one comment inspires one soul to fire up with life...Thank you God for than one ladies' beautiful inspiration...Thanks for Toni Tiu...may she be blessed even more..Amen...

Lastly, i could do the same...giving high regard to others by just posting positive comments...ohh diva pass it forward friendships hehehehe:-)

Evangelizing Politics

A friend named Mitch approached me for a request of printing campaign - Ocshirts for his father who is running for "Kagawad" in the upcoming Barangay election - October 25, 2010. I have not really tried printing other than the Joyfully Hopeful Designs but this one may be a venue for evangelization. I did not really know how to come in as to putting in the JH advocacy prayer but when Mitch requested that the prayer be attached, my soul leaped for joy hahahhahah ..a new way of evangelizing politics...and our people...Amen ....


- The Candidate -



- The Joyfully Hopeful Advocacy prayer printed at the back of the shirt -

Dear God

Today I am going to watch a film entitled "Letters to God"...the excerpt says they come from a kid that is a Cancer patient...Running the conversation with Alfie and Nicky this morning regarding the movie flashed the idea of inviting people to write their letters to God and i would post them at my blog site that will appear like a collation of letters...This will surely start up big convention and an array of meetings of the heavenly beings ahahahhahah...isn't this a great idea? Just trying to shake the heavens again....whoooshhhhhhh (parang bagyo hahahahh).

I will bring this further to prayer hehehe...Amen.

Jesus' Hug ...My Daily Pill

How would you consider getting an invisible hug from someone you don't see but feel everyday hehe...I always get that ...and the warmth and comfort? Excellent...:-) I consider it a daily pill...huggy huggy Jesus hehehehe...My song for YOU :

I wanna run to you ohhhhuh...(whitney H. effect ...char lang dili ko ka memorize) ...

Something you won't like

The running thought this morning while hearing the mass is this "the person that you don't like to be with may get you to heaven"...ouch what a reminder...okesh...this led me to someone that i resisted to see or be with for more than a year now...i guess this is the time to make a shift...Oh God...give me the grace to love like you huhuhuhuhu... hug gihapon Jesus beh... hehe

God's Stirring and My Digging

God is doing the stirring. I can feel that clearly. And at my end I am doing the digging...my notes hehehe ('yon lang ...no drama hahahah). i needed to review the process of the 19th annotation. Though i felt the panic of its end, but i saw the hope as i dug my notes and went back to the experience. And it helped me more seeing the book Schooled by the Spirit given by Fr. Xavier Olin, SJ months ago. I thought it was just a simple token from the workshop with the prenovices. At this time it has become a priceless possession. I need it badly huhuhu.

Thanks be to God...Thanks Fr. XO hehehe

To Go Where He is At work

At mass this morning i was like struck by a lightning of a thought liner "...to go where He is at work"...and i could associate this with everywhere...huh? ang daming gagawin hehe but...really i am pondering on this and it shakes me inside...still questioning where to though...a lot of options ...beautiful options...:-)

Beautiful

T'was such a miracle of the night ending it with the idea of producing copies of the Joyfully Hopeful advocacy prayer...I simply experienced the fun of producing them - printing, cutting and laminating....And today ...this very day...i experienced the joy of distributing them heheh so beautiful (i asked the VP's secretary to place one on his table)...Doing God's Business with Pleasure ha...and having fun...Amen.

Marvelous

I have written a lot in the past but I never got the courage to expose them due to my "thought of" incompetence. It was only with Fr. Frank that i got the shape of my passion to write. And now...i just simply ...simply like to write...i find it so natural to express my heart through this and it makes me spread my wings...fly higher...tell more of the "Good News"...rather than fret and loose sight of life's beauty...:-)

God just simply did a great job exposing me through my SD....Thanks heavens...Thanks Fr. Frank:-)

The Stirring

"Stirring"...Fr. Frank mentioned this in his homily during the closing mass of my 19th annotation retreat. I immediately saw in my imagination someone holding a long ladle stirring a huge pot filled with white liquid. Hahahaha i thought i would see a witch...Thanks be to God ...just an image of a man.

Now the honest feeling...afraid and i felt my eyes dilated in its attempt to expand the invisible screen in my mind...I wanted to see more...beyond what i could afford to see. But still i cannot deny the fact that fear for the unknown is slowly shaping... So, there are more things unrevealed and God is continuing the stirring...(gosssssssshhhh...hadlok ko bai).

So there are more to come...I do feel something at the moment. But i need to wait for it take that shape before i say my piece...It is still good to wait... for the right time...

What's in My Heart

I woke up this morning (October 5, 2010) carrying the heaviest feeling of not being motivated to wake up. I gave myself a break yesterday from work to figure out my life after two straight months of working and not being able to breath that fresh air called "private moment". That private moment called - sleep, eat, pray and play with tobby. I miss that time with myself and God. This is the biggest bulk...sort out things before I move forward. I like it that way ...take a pause and gain fresh perspectives.

So what's fresh for the day? hehe I heard the early morning mass. Though my heart was really broken when i checked with the question " what is it that i really, really want to do at this time?. I just want it plain and simple...to gain strength in prayer that i may be guided with my decisions. There are things to look into at the moment such as :

1. getting married
2. digging my heart's passion
3. embracing simplicity
4. becoming God's partner in the mission


...Amen:-)

I Will Give it a Rest

Just the thought of pulling out earlier from work relieves my spirit. I thought i have exhausted myself with work, work, work. This time is my time...a 2 hour pull out would mean a lot to dang...so here goes...goodbye for now...:-)

Panic No More

I feel that in my effort to do some tasks assigned to me, i am motivated to please others. With my boss i feel that i have to do that but when all else fails?...i just have to accept that there are things that need to be changed and revised.

Still, i remind myself not to panic...i do my job, i do my best and i leave the rest to my true BIG BOSS UP THERE...:-)
