Today, Joy Was In My Fathers Voice.

IMGA0204

 

My father has been the single biggest influence on my life.  He taught me the meaning of being a man.  He showed thru his actions that hard work does not mean being able to rest and slack off when you get home.  The effort you put in at home should be equal to how hard you worked in the office.  My childhood is filled with memories of my dad coming home at 5:30 pm and taking me to the courts to play until 9:00 pm.  Never mind if he was tired from a long day at work.  He always made me feel like i mattered.  This is something i strive to do with my family today.  If i can do it half as good as my father, my family will be in great shape.  I know how much my father love me.  I know how much i love my kids.  All the love we have for one another does not compare to the love the lord as for us!!! how great is that!!!

The last few months have been tough.  My father has seen his two brothers leave us and be with the good lord above.  He tries to be brave but you can hear the sadness in his voice.  I want my father to be happy.  He deserves to be happy.

About 10 years ago, my father recorded a bunch of songs in english and filipino.  When i played his old CD for him, I saw him smile and take joy in hearing them again.  It was then i heard happiness in his voice once again.  I would like to share is songs with you.  Hug your fathers and tell them you love them.

Be Careful What We Say.

36372-Be-Careful-What-You-Say

When people see my life, I want them to see a Christian.  I want them to see love and hope.  I want the Holy Spirit to use my life to effect positive change in someone else’s life.  I have always said that I am not the perfect Christian.  I search for Christ always and thats the best that I can do.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?  Are people happy that you are in their lives?  Do you bring them happiness?  Is joy and happiness present when you are around?  Do you always try to make it a point to hurt people with your words?  Are you a burden or a tool for Christ?  These are questions that we need to answer honestly.

The world is full with negativity.  The last thing we need is more of it.  I challenge all readers of this blog to answer this question honestly:

AM I HURTING OR HELPING THE KINGDOM BY THE WAY I TALK?

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I challenge you to be an inspiration to everyone in your life.  Talk them up, not down.  Lift their spirits and not their worries.  Plain and simple…let us all stop using our words as knives.

Weather is clearing up now as Guam is now in COR 4. We dodge a bullet here. Pray for Rota as they shouldered the brunt of the typhoon.

The family has finally experienced our first typhoon on Guam. The eye of the typhoon arrived around 4:00 am. The pictures here are the view from the house. I pray the severity of the typhoon was off the shores of Guam. God bless and watch over the people of Guam and Rota (was much closer to the eye of the storm) with safety and security. Update coming…

God Bless Our Troops…U.S. Soldiers Singing Praises

Our Troops Singing Praises.

I remember the excitement in my daughters (grade 4K) voice as she was telling me about a song they had performed while attending Vacation Bible School at Northside Christian Church in Macon, GA.  The song was called “Days of Elijah” by Robin Mark.  The song she learned was accompanied by simple choreography.  I can recall thanking God under my breath in that moment for showing himself to my daughter.  I also made a mental note of the song becuase I knew a day would come when that song would come back into our lives and put a smile on my daughters face as she gets older.

Four years later my daughter has gotten so big.  She has adjusted well to the move to Guam and is still seeking out our lord.  She is also beginning to learn about our US government and how the consitution is the law of the land.  I want my daughter to love this great country of ours and still honor our God.  I am motivated by this passage

“And Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him.”  Mark 12:17

I was looking for something that ties in love for our country and love for our God.  After watching this Video, I am confident that i found the perfect video to show my daughter.  I can’t wait for her to watch this tomorrow.  Watch the video.  It will definitely lift your spirit.

Our Troops Singing Praises.

GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY.
