A Moment With the Scripture

At a young age, I yearned at reading the Bible. I clearly remember when I asked my mother to buy me one. Then I forget everything that followed...

From preparatory to elementary to high school, I've been on a Catholic School that imparted God's words in each and every student. And I am really thankful that I had been sent to such schools that I was able to know most stories in the Bible.

But then, life had been too good to me that I, once more, yearned at conversing with God through His words. Yes, it really felt like talking to Him whenever I read His words. Two months ago, I had enrolled myself on a Bible reading plan by YouVersion.com allowing me to be able to read the whole Bible for 365 days. The said Bible Reading Plan by YouVersion is entitled A Moment With the Scripture. And I really felt blessed that I am now on my 60^th day.



I am always caught in surprise knowing that there are a lot of things that I never knew was in the Scripture. My emotion is like a child that is genuinely amazed and equally happy whenever I found out that the rainbow and pistachio nuts are mentioned in the Bible. NO, there isn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; instead, the rainbow symbolizes God's promise that there would no longer be a flood similar to that of Noah's time.

Start having your moment with the Scripture. You will never get tired of reading it; instead, you'll be longing each day for that moment when you have to converse with Our Father.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings!

When I was still in the graveyard shift, I got almost NO time to blog. But now that I am on a mid-shift, I was able to give some time to my hobby ~ to WRITE. However, the time is not that enough for I had missed a number of pay per post opportunities for the past month. *sigh* I can't believe I am wasting the PR3 of my main blog. Anyhow, I am not that disappointed. It is just, this is not the time to attend to these PPP opportunities. As what the Bible says,

"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven ~" ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1

Anyway, I just wanted to know how you guys are? We're you able to brave the tropical storm Pedring and make it to your office? As for me, I'm sad I wasn't. But I have to prioritize my safety before anything else right? The rain and strong winds hasn't stopped yet, so be safe guys. God Bless!

Am I a sucker for blog giveaways? Definitely not. I only join contests wherein I loved to have the prizes.

Most of all, I purposely indulge with contests wherein winners are picked lottery, because everyone could have equal chances of winning.

Early Tuesday(?) morning, I was able to watch Kara David's documentary entitled "Silong" for I-Witness. If you failed to watch it, I had embedded the video from YouTube for you.

My heart melts as I continue watching the documentary. I even tried to stop a tear from falling. Do I pity them? Definitely NO. There are a number of amazing manifestations of "love" I found from it. Imagine a woman who has nothing to offer (but love) can adopt a number of children who is in search of love. Nobody from the wealthy could (I assume) do that like what the woman has done.

And while they were always in search of a place to stay; hence the title "Silong", I am also puzzled on what Kara David's statement, that as long as they are together, no matter where they are at, they could sleep soundly for they know that safety is around them. And then I have to say, indeed, the safest place on earth is not a specific stationary location; the safest place on earth is being with your family (or those whom treated you as their family) - even without a sturdy wall and ceiling.
