The reading today is 2 Peter 1:16-18...but I preferred reading the whole chapter to better understand. I'm not a theologian or an expert in God's Word but I'm sharing my reflections here. (Good thing it is that I can't find my journal so I can share with you again. :) )
"For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." - 2 Peter 1:16
The disciples can clearly speak about the truth about Jesus because they saw it first hand. They were eye-witnesses when a voice came from heaven saying that Jesus was the Son of God. This, through their faith and by the power of the holy Spirit, made them legit messengers from God.
Because of this, they're call was clear to them. It was to share/spread what they have seen. They must not keep it for themselves. Why? Because the message of love, hope and salvation through Jesus Christ is not only for them but for everyone.
Doing God's call to spread the Good News about Jesus requires their immediate action for the Lord made it clear to the author that he had little time left on earth to share. He made every minute count and every opportunity to remind his fellow Christians about God's call to do our best in our Christian living, to keep ourselves pure, and to remain loyal to Him until the Day our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
That message is not only for the Christians who lived before but also for all of us living today.
May we continue experience God's love everyday and be able to share the Good News and our experiences/testimonies in our walk with Him. Amen! :)

Dear future husband without a name yet
Dear future husband without a name yet,
Hahaha. It's funny that I'm writing you a letter though I do not know who you are...yet. Have we met? Have our roads crossed somewhere? Are you the one I am with for the past 5 years (or almost seven, counting the years of realizing love)? Or are you somebody else? Have we met in church? Are you someone I admire because of certain qualities? Or are you someone great whom I do not notice yet? Have we met in school? Are you my classmate or schoolmate in grade school, high school or college? Hahahaha. Oh well, highschool could be the most possible, if ever. But wait, whatever. I'll never know until the right time comes for nothing is impossible with God. Hahahahaha.
Whoever you are, I want you to know that I prayed for you this night. I prayed for your job and your family. I prayed that God would keep you safe from harm and guide you every step of the way. I prayed for your spirituality: that you may grow closer to God and that you may become a good leader in our family someday... 'Cause, you know, I'm hoping and praying that the man God would give me as a leader would lead me and our future children closer to Christ.
I prayed for you...and am continuously praying as I write. I'm asking God to bless you with all the things that you need, to give you strength and courage, and to always empower you with the power of the Holy Spirit.
It's been a long time since I last time I remember praying for you without a name. I remember doing this in college and maybe not that often when I found the one I am with today. So I'm writing to remember this day.
I'll be praying for you for the next days. Maybe it's not yet the right time to know who you really are. Let me prepare first, okays? No need to rush love. As what people say, "Mas mabuti nang sigurado kesa magsisi sa dulo."
So...that's it for now. God just suddenly woke me up to pray. I need to catch some sleep.
See you...soon?
Oh... I mean, see you on the right time. Approach me... 'cause maybe I won't do it first. Hahahahaha.
God be with you always.
Mai :)
PS May heart smiled while praying for you. Kilig, ganun. Hahaha ;)

Dear God,
I have my own preference but Yours is always the best. Please help me to become more submissive to You. Take my heart, Lord. May I not manipulate or become impatient. May Your will be done. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

So here I go...
Thinking,
"I can't contain how I feel.
I already talked to God
but I feel more like writing Him
a love letter."
So here I go...
Rethinking,
"Oops... Is this the right place to write?
I think I opened the wrong blog.
Maybe I'll just sign out...
But wait, I want...
To write."
Hi, blog!
I missed you.
I haven't visited you for so long.
A lot has changed.
Some remained the same.
I'll write to you again soon.
No, I won't say "promise".
Just let my 'yes' be 'yes'
and my 'no' be 'no'.
I hope I could do what I've said.
Goodbye for now.
I'll see you soon.
:)
