			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em><strong>&#8220;He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he&#8221;.</strong></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em><strong><strong>- Deuteronomy 32:4</strong></strong></em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Not so long, I just found out that one of our co-employee/ colleague from Sutherland was murdered and beheaded by his boyfriend last Friday night, 1<sup>st</sup> of October. I was in great shock. And because of this, I was awaken to earnestly pray and intercede for her and especially for her family for justice and penalty for this gruesome murder. May God find his way and release his justice for our beloved Ms. Katrina Gantan</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">*Follow this link for more details of the incident:<a href="http://megumaretautsukushii.blogspot.com/"> http://megumaretautsukushii.blogspot.com*</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Prayer for Justice</strong></span></span></p>
<blockquote><p>“Father God, as we lift up your most holy name, we thank you for your goodness, your mercy and your unfailing love. Thank you for your grace from where we always stand even in the midst of trouble and distress. But dear Lord, we pray and shout for great justice for the soul of Katrina Gantan, who was brutally killed and was murdered last Friday night. It hurts us so much that she is so young and innocent to experience such evil work. Our hearts are in pain, for we feel the hurt of her family and her friends and we pray that you will continually comfort them and release your grace upon them. We pray for justice. We shout for justice. This is what we all want. Justice. May your anger and your wrath be released to his killer,and may your mighty hand strike him a hundred times fold and may he pay the penalty of his great sin for taking away the life of his victim. This is the time for justice, Lord. We shout and cry for Justice. Our heart cries out. Our spirits cry out for justice. This is not your will, O’ Lord. This is not your plan and your destiny for her life. But this evil work won’t stop you from bringing justice to her and to her family. Take control, Father God. Have your way in us, especially to her and to her family. Teach them to open their hearts to you so they may accept your love, your grace and your mercy. And for this killer, take your revenge Lord. Strike him with your awesome power and great justice. We give it all to you, Father God. We offer you everything. And as we close this prayer, may your will be done in Jesus name,</p>
<p>Amen</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Date:</strong> September 24, 2010</p>
<p><strong>Time:</strong> 6:18pm</p>
<p><strong>Mood:</strong> Bothered, Worried</p>
<p><strong>Sharing:</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">What to do when Damsel in Distress?</span></span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://extravagantworshipper.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/smojasing.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-95" title="smojasing" src="http://extravagantworshipper.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/smojasing.jpg?w=141&#038;h=100" alt="" width="141" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>Stress, stress, stress. I just can’t help it but I feel like almost everyday, my eyebrows meet all the time. (~,~) *sighs* It has been a tough and a rough week and I still have this hangover from loans we have processed these past few days. (The process is getting harder and more complicated!) Well, this is the mortgage industry. And I would say, I still have to thank God coz it’s such a wonderful opportunity for me to work as a processor and be part of JPMC. @_@</p>
<p>Are you familiar with a Damsel in Distress? In our classic modern world, I would say I count myself as one. When I was researching online, I found one definition on this link:  </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damsel_in_distress"><strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damsel_in_distress</span></strong></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">The subject of the damsel in distress, or persecuted maiden, is a classic theme in world literature, art, and film. She is usually a beautiful young woman placed in a dire predicament by a </span><a title="Villain" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villain"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">villain</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> or a </span><a title="Monster" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">monster</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> and who requires a </span><a title="Hero" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">hero</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> to dash to her rescue. She has become a </span><a title="Stock character" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_character"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">stock character</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> of fiction, particularly of </span><a title="Melodrama" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodrama"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">melodrama</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">The word &#8220;damsel&#8221; derives from the French </span><a title="Demoiselle" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoiselle"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">demoiselle</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> meaning &#8220;young lady&#8221;. It is an archaic term not used in modern English except for effect or in expressions such as this, which can be traced back to the </span><a title="Knight errant" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_errant"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">knight errant</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> of Medieval songs and tales, who regarded the saving of such women as an essential part of his </span><a title="wiktionary:raison d'être" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/raison_d%27%C3%AAtre"><em><span style="color:#ff00ff;">raison d&#8217;être</span></em></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">The helplessness of the damsel in distress, who can be portrayed as foolish and ineffectual to the point of naïvety, along with her need for others (mostly men) to rescue her, has made the </span><a title="Stereotype" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">stereotype</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> the target of </span><a title="Feminism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">feminist</span></a><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> criticism.</span></p>
<p>In a classic world of literature, Damsel in Distress is one huge fantasy that writers invented out of their creative minds. But like I said, on a modern world like this I would say, I count my self as one big Damsel in Distress. Trapped and imprisoned in one huge hole called sin.  <strong>Darlene Zschech said; “An overcomer is the one who resists the schemes and temptations of the enemy”.</strong> However I can’t find myself on that track coz it’s either I so not overcome, or I intentionally let my self be soaked into sin again. That’s what Damsel in Distress means for me. A self-confessed christian who is trapped inside the devil’s box.</p>
<p>But one thing reminds me that there is hope, freedom, forgiveness and a brighter future within. I found such with God’s love. I remember when I was still a leader; I used to take pleasure with Godly things and deceit with evil things. Especially when I learned that Jesus has always been the reason why the penalty for my sins has been paid and I was not the one who was penalized and crucified. One night, I felt my heart was almost crushed when I was longing for God’s presence that I used to linger everyday and every moment of my life. Then I reached to my I-pod, searched for the song<strong> “I Will Sing”</strong> by Lakewood Church. As I was listening to the song, I was gradually reminded how God has been taking good care of me even to the point that I am in the worst pot and that how God made the best out of me even to my darkest sides. And as I went on  listening, I closed my eyes and from there, I felt God’s embrace which I missed for so long and I just can’t stop crying from there.</p>
<p>I would like to share the same experience from what I had. The only hero we could have when in distress is God’s love and knowing that Jesus has been crucified for our own sake. And this is the good news regardless of how bitter and painful our life has been, whether we fail or we succeed. But sometimes, we are too stubborn to realize and to appreciate what God has been offering us in return of our love and obedience. <strong>J.S. Lewis said; “Our obedience is our basis of how we love God”.</strong> Furthermore, <span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>nothing has ever been most beautiful but God’s grace and mercy that endures and is always in a fresh start.</strong></span> This is what I realized; <strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">God’s love brings freedom, liberty, hope and a brighter future ahead. God’s grace keeps us moving even when we are at the top most fragile consequence of what sin, in our lives has been.</span></strong></p>
<p>So here, sing with me as we feel and enjoy God’s glorious love. And as we sing this song, let’s make it as a prayer of song that God will sustain us as we go on through the faces of life…</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of Your great love</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will stand in wonder of</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>What You’ve done in this life</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>With my song testify</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will live and not die to declare</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Lord You are good and I will sing</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Your mercy endures it’s everlasting</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Lord You are good and I will sing</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>A song of worship</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Lord You are worthy to receive</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Dominion and power, Honor and majesty</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Lord You are good and I will sing of Your great love</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of Your Mercy</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of Your love</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of your tenderness</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>And tell the wonders of</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of Your goodness</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of Your grace</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>I will sing of Your holiness</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>And melodies and praise</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gosh! It&#8217;s been a long time since I updated this blog. It was like, what, January? and today is August so, yeah. hehe But anyway, I finally had the chance to update. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It&#8217;s been such a crazy busy schedule since there were a lot of changes and updates within our process. But still, I wanna thank God for sustaining me, even though I had to adjust again to almost everything. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Ai, nga pala&#8230; Thank you Ralph! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  thank you, and thank you again for giving so much patience when I was like bombarding you almost everyday for my SS check. hehe :) Thank you for your patience and thank you for the follow-ups. I know you&#8217;re very busy but thank you. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Now you can be at peace again. jejejejeje <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now on to the update! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Some of my friends were asking me why did I stop attending church. I didn&#8217;t answer the question until I finally decided to share my reason behind my absence. (Anyway God knows what are my faults and what are not) Here are some revelations:</p>
<p>@ <strong>I got promoted but I wasn&#8217;t happy</strong></p>
<p> - <strong>I got promoted as a leader (front liner) but I never felt genuine happiness after the position</strong>. Honestly? <strong>I only became a monster</strong>. I left everything unbalanced and I only ruined my  life, my job/career and my relationship with God. So I decided to leave everything, <strong>even the glory of promotion in exchange of my peace.</strong> <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>@ <strong>I got stressed and burned out</strong></p>
<p> - Honestly, I got stressed with everything. <strong>My life was a mess</strong>. I got traumatized and I got overwhelmed with the tasks, responsibilities, duties, etc!. It even came to a point that I really wanna give up because my mind was full of stress and worries. I was not in a balanced state. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>@ <strong>Too much expectations, no considerations.</strong></p>
<p><strong> - </strong>I understand the fact that a leader must be accountable on everything they were held responsible to but that doesn&#8217;t mean it can be so unrealistic. There were too much expectations from the leadership but didn&#8217;t give enough considerations on my part. It was clear that I work as a call center agent given an erratic schedule, but they treat me like a full-time leader in the ministry. I don&#8217;t know on what part do they not understand, but it was a hell on my part.</p>
<p>@ <strong>They compared us from leaders whom they sent away</strong></p>
<p> - At the first place, I knew that it wasn&#8217;t genuine about the position. In short, &#8220;panakip butas lang ako&#8221;. <strong>But when I failed and haven&#8217;t met their expectations, they compared us from those who did everything perfect for them</strong>. Bottomline is, just to say that the church is still succesful and growing, gagawing panakip butas ung ibang tao dun sa mga nawala. Then pag may kapalpakan ung mga pinalit nila, ico2mpare dun sa mga leaders at workers na nawala. Sasabihin; &#8221; Buti pa nung andito cila mas maayos pa naman&#8221;. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>@ There was no genuine compassion but an issue of</strong> <strong>a matter of material</strong></p>
<p> - The leadership has no genuine compassion for their members. What they do is that as long as they can get something and benefit from you and from your talents and blessings, you are very useful to them. If not, your useless. You&#8217;re just a matter of material. Pag may kailangan lang dun ka naaalala. Like my mom. If they need something from her (financial, sponsorship, assistance, etc!) They will call and text her all the time. After that, galit galit n2man. But when she visits the church, she was like nobody to them. They even insult her. Then they call and text her to ask for money? That&#8217;s Bull S*t!</p>
<blockquote><p> - I never expected that my life would be perfect because I know myself and I know my weaknesses. I know my flaws, my mistakes, my failures, and <strong>God knows how I want him to change those things</strong>. Sino ba ang ayaw sa pagbabago? <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  But the mere fact that people would condemn you and point out at your face saying: &#8220;You are very irresponsible, a worthless leader, etc!&#8221; They will tell you, what that God would judge me one day? What the hell! Everybody has their own judgement. I know I will be judged according to my actions. <strong>And you must also know how God would judge you for bringing judgement and condemnation to your members.</strong> Evaluate yourselves. If you think you&#8217;re righteous enough to judge others then good job! Great deal for you. But if you see on yourself that you&#8217;re a worthless dirty sinner then don&#8217;t brag. Ayt? Be humble and stay on the line.</p></blockquote>

<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Song of the Day:</strong> Your Grace is Enough</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Sharing:</strong> &#8220;God&#8217;s Beautiful Grace&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://extravagantworshipper.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/06b.gif"><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40" title="06b" src="http://extravagantworshipper.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/06b.gif?w=106&#038;h=96" alt="" width="106" height="96" /></span></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Hi yah&#8217; folks! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Just had a great Holiday Season with the Lord, with my family and friends&#8230; and one thing is for sure, <strong>it was totally outrageous!</strong> haha.. ^^, But right at this very moment I&#8217;m here at work, doing some stuff not to make me bore for it&#8217;s only a few minutes away before I&#8217;ll end my day and I&#8217;ll be going home nah. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (btw, it&#8217;s 1:30 here in my watch, sooo excited to go home)Yup! I now work in a <strong>&#8220;morning shift&#8221;</strong> which is typically and usually rare and very seldom to happen when you&#8217;re in a call center. However God is a god of the impossible so even though it was impossible for me to work in this very nice schedule, He gave me what I desired. And here I am working normally just like everybody else. ahe! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  God eventually fixed my schedule an I have more time for God, for my family and for myself as well. I have my piano lessons, ehem! hehe&#8230; and I also have time to go around malls and bookstores coz&#8217; I&#8217;m currently collecting a lot of books for my mini-library at home. I always wanted a mini-library coz I really love to read and it refreshes my mind and relieves the stress in me. And not to forget! I also visit my doctors since I have a lot to work on my health and my fitness&#8230; time for a diet! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And if you&#8217;re a resident here in Pampanga or just nearby Angeles City if you want to consult medical help or check-up, consultations, I would recommend doctors from the <strong>AUFMC (Angeles University Foundation Medical Center).</strong> They are good doctors, and one of the best doctors here in the Philippines. (All of my doctors are from there.. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) Ahhh&#8230;anyway, God is good. Imagine, all of my medical consultations are free! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (except from medications) I thank God coz since I work in Sutherland, Maxicare (my company health card) has helped me a lot to consult medical help and consultations. Imagine, I have a lot of things to work on my self, but all those consultations are free. It&#8217;s a sad thing coz I abused my health and I didn&#8217;t practically used the wisdom God gave me. I was too busy doing ministry stuff that I didn&#8217;t have time for my self and used my free consultation privileges. But God&#8217;s grace is there&#8230; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I also have free dental checkup&#8217;s and treatments, etc! I&#8217;ll have my tooth removed, and I have free cleaning for my teeth. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  The only thing is that I wanted to have my teeth in braces however it&#8217;s not part of my health and dental insurance. But God is good! When I&#8217;ll have my tax refunds next month I&#8217;ll have them all braced. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">-<strong> I give God the honor coz I when had and ECG, 2-D ECO and Stress test (Brace Protocol) for my cardiac problem, I didn&#8217;t pay for a 2,50o-3,000 php for conducting those series of tests. I took them all for free. Even for an upper abdominal ultrasound for my acidic problems, endoscope from an ENT (Ears, Nose Throat) doctor and for consulting a surgeon when I had an injury at my foot. Imagine, I took all those tests and medical consultations and I haven&#8217;t paid for anything except for my medications. What amazed me most is that after receiving the results, thank God they were all negative! :p</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">- Truly God is good. He wants us to be prosperous and victorious all the time. He has been so good to me, to my career and to my family for the year of 2009, and I know that he has wonderful things to do in my life for this year ahead. Even though I have so many set backs and failures, God turned them to blessings, favor and success. I also thank God because after a long time God has answered our prayers in the life of my father, for he is now in Canada. I believe God&#8217;s plan in our family is not just in a box, rather he wants to extend our territories as well. He attends Sunday services in </span><a href="http://www.jilcanada.com/saskatchewan/saskatoon.html" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">JIL Saskatoon</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;">, Canada and he is counted as one of the active members there. <strong>And here&#8217;s the kick, after 2-3 years we will have the chance to live there as immigrants and Canadian citizens.</strong> HOW GREAT, HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">- After a few months of being one of the bottom performers in my company, I am now counted as one of the top agents working in the account. God has helped me resolve my issues and my problems here at work, and they finally changed my schedule from night shift to morning shift. God has been so good to me.<strong> Everything that the enemy has destroyed in my life, God fixed them all</strong>. I realized a lot of things in my life. I overlooked a lot of important things that needs my attention and I focused myself too much on being so busy within the church and ministry stuff. Anyway, God is always a God of second chances. He loves to see us grow in the midst of rising problems and raging storms in life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">- For this year, I&#8217;m gonna pursue my studies. I&#8217;ll continue and take up BS Nursing and so that I can help my family with their needs and have my brother finish his studies and reach his dreams in life. Who knows? <strong>God is a god of suprises</strong>. We don&#8217;t know what God has in store for us for the coming years, and He might help me achieve my dream to be a successful Medical Doctor  someday. hehe! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">- But before I end this post, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my doctors for treating me and for being special people who became part of my life&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Thank you so much to&#8230;</span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Now Playing: Who Am I? ( Casting Crowns)</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Hi Guys, it&#8217;s me, Zha. I moved my rjkz blog on this one and this will serve as one of my diary blog and btw, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! and MERRY CHRISTMAS! ^^ Ooohhh, It&#8217;s Christmas huh?! yeah so very happy talaga&#8230; ahehe.. ^^ Finally! 2010 is yet to come. It&#8217;s been a year of trials, testings, a year of happiness and sadness, a year of love, hatred, guilt, pain and sufferings, a year of God&#8217;s tremendous blessings and miracles! Well, it&#8217;s been a year and there are a lot of memories to linger on. I just can&#8217;t imagine how fast this year has passed and how God has been faithful in our lives. In this blog, I&#8217;ll be sharing you how God moved mightily in my life for the whole 2009 so just fasten your set belts, and relax. So just enjoy reading.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Sharing: A year of God&#8217;s love, his goodness and his faithfulness</span></strong> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">&#8221; Because of the LORD&#8217;s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail&#8221;. &#8211; Lamentations 3:22</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Let me express, from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am for all that Jesus has done in for me&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">1. He died and He suffered for my sins.</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Have you watched the &#8220;Passion of the Christ&#8221;? What have you felt then? Me? Everytime I watch this movie, I am being reminded how sinful and filthy I am in the eyes of God. Especially when I see the part wherein he is being beaten and you can see that the metal plants within the flesh of His body. If there is one thing that I am truly grateful of is that I know that Jesus loves me so much that he bore the cross of Calvary just to save me from my sins. It&#8217;s not that I have a lot  of accomplishments in the ministry, not that I have a position, not that I am being known for being a leader, worship leader, etc! <strong>these things are nothing to me except from the beautiful grace of God that is so overwhelming in my life. </strong>And you know what? Everytime I seek God&#8217;s presence I just can&#8217;t help but to cry  and feel the wonder of His love because I know, deep within my heart that even though I&#8217;m a sinner, He loves me and He cares for me more than anyone and anything in this world.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">2. God&#8217;s Love and Protection</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">God&#8217;s love is so amazing. Believe it or not, I almost gave up and wanted to end my life because there were a lot of hurt, suffering and distress within me. Soon enough, I will tell you the <strong>main reason</strong> why but for now I just wanna thank God for extending His love to me. If God has a plan for you, he will continually preserve and restore you no matter how many times you fail. He will even use people just for us to realize that He loves us so much na ayaw niya tayong mapahamak. He also protects us from any danger of Satan and of this world. Sadly, we are just the ones who remove God&#8217;s hand and protection in our lives. I remember the song <strong>&#8220;Everytime&#8221;</strong> by Darlene Zschech and Mirriam Webster of Hillsong Church. That song explains how great God is and God&#8217;s love extends over to those who seek his presence. Let me share you the lyrics;</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">JESUS, I LOVE YOU</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">I NEED YOU MY SAVIOUR</span></em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">JESUS YOU LOVE IT, HAS HEALED ME, OPENED MY HEART</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">JESUS, I THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU&#8217;VE GIVEN</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">JESUS, I STAND HERE AMAZED AT FORGIVENESS</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">EVERYTIME, I CLOSE MY EYES</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">I&#8217;M FILLED WITH AWE AT ALL YOU&#8217;VE DONE</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">EVERYTIME, I THINK OF YOU</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">I&#8217;M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LOVE</span></span></strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">O&#8217; LORD HERE I AM </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">RAISE MY HANDS, I SURRENDER</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">O&#8217; LORD HERE I AM </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">AT YOUR THRONE SWEET ABANDON&#8230;</span></em></span></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;">  </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">3.  The Joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10)</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Secular people believes in their self-confidence. But me? I only have Godly confidence. I may have a little self-confidence but I depend on God at all times. When I had my interview at the House of Gold here in Clark, IQOR, Sutherland, many more! I just let God give me strength to pass those interviews and test and I just did with God&#8217;s hand. I thank God for giving me strength everyday, especially when I&#8217;m all drained out. I thank God because although I wanted to give up and end my life, He made a way to sustain me. <strong>It really feels good when you know that whenever you&#8217;re weak, God is always strong. That whenever we fail, He succeeds. And whenever we lose, He always has the victory.</strong> He gave me all the reasons to survive and move on. How great our God is! ^^</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">4. He gave me a lot of chances to start a new beginning</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">I left the church and the ministry a lot of times because of certain reasons. And I know that whatever those reasons were, they are not valid enough from turning away from God. I was so immature that I hurt God&#8217;s heart so much. And now, I thank Him for giving me the opportunity to serve Him once more even though I had a lot of failures and flaws.<strong> I know in God&#8217;s perfect time, He will again use me and I know that he is just preparing me for the greater glory that I will experience along the way.</strong> <strong><em>&#8220;<span style="text-decoration:underline;">God wants to teach me something first&#8221;.</span></em></strong> I know that even though I was a leader, He&#8217;s was not smiling at me at all simply because my life was unbalanced and all messed up. God is a God of second chances. His promises will endure and His love will never fail.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">5. He gave me a job to sustain the needs of my family</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">I thank God for giving me the opportunity to work so that I could help my family in terms of financial aspects. Although my dad is out of the country, his income is still not enough to meet our needs, especially my brother is already in highschool in HAU so we have to find ways to increase our income and over up our expenses. So I really thank God for this blessing and I appreciate the fact that although I have neglected a lot of things, his blessings still overflow in my life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">6. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to know Him, love Him and to serve Him even though I&#8217;m not worthy of it.</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Who have you found worthy of serving God? No one. </strong>We are all unworthy. But because fo God&#8217;s great love through Jesus Christ, we were given the opportunity to experience God&#8217;s grace and mercy. I am very grateful that I experience God&#8217;s great love and goodness in my life. Although I am nothing but a trash and a garbage to His sight, Jesus loved me and gave me the wonderful chance to serve Him at all times.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">7. He gave me a wonderful life and he healed my wounded and broken heart</span></span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.&#8221; &#8211; Ps. 147:3</span></em></span></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">I got hurt, I suffered, I fell and wounded my heart and my spirit. But in Ps. 147:3 Jesus promised that he would definitely heal them all. There is no one, no other love that would fill the emptiness and the loneliness in my heart but Jesus Christ. How amazing and it&#8217;s very refreshing to think that the most powerful love in this world is in us and has chosen to heal our hearts and restore our minds.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;">  </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">I long to be an Extravagant Worshipper&#8230;that God would discover the song in my heart to be elaborate, </span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">over-generous and wasteful in my pursuit of Him. </span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">This is the journey I have devoted my life to&#8230;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;">- Darlene Zschech</span></span></strong></em></p>
