dying is a gain

nagsesearch ako sa youtube .. then i was trying to find the song HERE I AM TO WORSHIP and while listening over it .. the video caught my attention ..
the video was made by some of the clips in the movie THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST ..
then i realized one thing ..
he died for our sins and suffer and sacrifice His own life for us to be saved .. so why not die for Him too as what He has commanded and live a new life in Him ..

as you accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior .. the old you is died with Him and the new you will live again with Him. 2 cor 5:17

if you understand the real fact of it .. the lesson is: ONE LIFE FOR A MILLION LIFE, DIE WITH HIM AND LIVE AGAIN :)

what's the benefit?: ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!

now bakit naging gain ang pagkamatay??
because of it nagakaroon tayo ng eternal life .. because of it nasave tayo from the punishmet of our sins .. and because of it we are now belong to the family og God and many more !!

SO DIE FOR JESUS AND LIVE WITH HIM :)

repent, commit, and surrender ..

try to watch THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST ALL OVER AGAIN AND GAIN SOME LESSONS AND INSIGHTS ABOUT YOUR COMMITMENT :)

the means of surrendering

surrendering means giving up something for others..
Jesus once told that in order to be his disciple we need to leave everything and take up our own cross just as what he did to save us from our sins..(see Matthew "the cost of being a disciple)

just like you.. my fellow brothers and sisters i find it hard to do it .. thats the reality ..
we enjoy what we have here on earth such as worldly friends, money desire, material things, addiction (computer, text, alcohol etc.) but having it all only leads to destruction the bible says "don't love everything on this world because it loses and we know that the world is ruled by SATAN!"
i really enjoy what i've got from the world .. my friends, the "BISYO" to be called and everything and i am afraid to lose it .. WHY?? because i am enjoying it!! that's the reality ..
now as a Christian it is clearly means disobedient and sinning before Christ because im loving the world and not surrendering to Him ..
when you say that Jesus is your Lord .. he must be the one to takes place in your life!! he must be the one to control and decide for your life!! but that's not what was happening to me !! i was the one who is under control of my life and i am the one who's making decisions for my own likeness!! well that was terribly sinning before God!! i know the TRUTH is but still doing what's WRONG and trying to be deaf and numb anyway..
this blog was made because i dont want you to be guilty if you're doing the same thing just like what i did before .. but i want you to realize this thing:

i was sleeping late at night when God spoke to me and asked me such questions:
"kung ako ang Panginoon mo bakit hindi mo sila iwan para sa akin? ano ang mga kinakatakot mo? kaya mo ba akong mawala para sa kanila?"

when i woke up i think of it over and over again .. until a verse come up my mind ..
PROVERBS 3:5-6
TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT.

ahh!! yun pala yun .. pero natatakot pa rin ako .. ANO ANG KINAKATAKOT KO?? that is .. tanggapin sa sarili ko na mali ako!!that's the real fact .. but when i learn to surrender everything .. EVERYTHING ( i give-up my friends, family, money desire, doubts, worries, and including myself to God alone) God promised me na he will make everything ok and he's glad that im back in his arms again ..
my worries?? 1.to share the gospel to others because i though i am not a good image is now gone .. i can share the gospel even though i know that i am still not a good model but through the grace of God and with the help of the Holy Spirit i have now the confidence in approaching and facing the people because i know that what i am preaching is the Word of the Truth!!
2. to lose my friends, the bible says that we must be very careful in choosing our friends .. the friends that i give-up is a not healthy friends .. they are in and from the world.. they are doing such sins and i once have had seen it .. the immorality moves.. and i don't want to see it anymore .. but instead of hating them .. i have to pray for them because they didn't know what they are doing .. this is the hardest part of my surrendering .. masaya kase ako pag kasama ko sila .. but what benefit would i get?? NONE!! they're just brought me from sinning .. so BE CAREFUL in choosing your friends .

as of now?? i am enjoying the grace of the Lord .. everything is under of His control .. my sins?? it is forgiven as what he has promised that we just have to confess with all our hearts and he is faithful and just and will purify us from all our unrighteousness ..

just TRUST the Lord and everything will be ok .. TRUST!!

i hope you learned !! :)

discovering the real me!!

do you ever asked youself if you do know who you are??
ever asked yourself who really you are?

definitely, i asked myself already a lot of times before..
just like you,
I do not know who I am ..
I neither know myself who really I am.
I do not know myself.
my mind was so tired trouble ..
very confused ..
i have a lot of questions that has no answer ..
i was a child of God, yes i know .. i was a Christian , a follower of Christ ..
but i feel that was wasnt enough to answer my questions ..
that i had to experience everything first before i learned ..
that was what i thought ..
probably God let me experience what i'm askin for ..
until it leads me to a great fall, to destruction ..
i lost my way ..
that i even wanted to forget that there is God ..
but that's so contradict to what i want ..
i still want God but i was so confused ..

till he made me realize that im wrong ..
he let me experience everything not for me to learn but to answer my questions too ..
now i know that i made my mistakes and i want to correct it ..
i admit it and i knew it ..
i've sinned before the Lord ..

i confessed and He is very compassionate ..
that though i've sinned still He forgave me ..
im so glad that i am now back to where am i that i do know now who am i ..
the world is not for me but for God ..
God is for us ..
we dont need material things offered by this world , happiness , and even love .. all fake !!
but the love of God is real .. the happiness in God is real ,, the blessings from God is real ..

now if you'll be goin to ask me who am i ..
well i am ANNE, the follower of Christ ..
the child of God .. =))
not just in words but in actions too ..

the precious one

definitely when i was a 12 year old girl .. i experienced a lot of trauma that takes place in my mind for several years!
i thought i was NOTHING , a meaningless one ..
just like the other EMO thinks ..
akala ko noon i was alone ..
i blamed God for everything ..
i thought that no one could understand me ..
i hate everything ..
till God revealed me everything ..
now that i am serving Him, following and believing on Him ..
He told me that i am a PRECIOUS ONE ..
He created me because He loves me ..
He wants me to be with Him in eternity ..
now that i am with Him .. and have forgiven all of my sins ..
although i failed Him,i disobey him, still He loves me ..
He is the one who truly loves and understands me ..

the father's day special

early in the morning as i was washing the dishes my father turn on the radio and later i hear the melody of the song ..
sounds familiar ..
that song was ANAK by freddie aguilar ..

i was about to cry na after hearing that song ..
i am a PAPA's girl ..
i am much more comfortable with my father ..
suppeerrrr..
then a flashback came out my mind ..
it reminds me the father's day ..
i am a christian .. the only christian in our family ..
so they can't be with me when i am worshiping God ..
our church held a father's day celebration on church wherein the father's attended there will stand in front of us ..
my father is not there..
but i've seen the father of A.Meg(my bible study leader) he was standing there .. at that moment i dreamed of my father..
that he too was standing there waiting for us(his child) to give him a big hug and kiss ..(SAD)


now i know ..
many realization come up my mind ..
that still .. our parents LOVE us ..
from the song "ANAK"..
try to hear the song a lot of times till you realize that ..
our parents love us ..
even though we fail them ..
we disobey them.. we rebel against them ..
i can still remember, when i was sick .. so sick .. my father wake up at early 12midnight and he checked me .. he waited until 1am and been there beside me .. binabantayan niya ako.. he placed also a wet face towel on my forehead ..
i came not from a wealthy family, i came from a messed up family ..
all of my life i thought life is just a damn ..
but when i met the greatest Father of all--the Creator of heaven and earth ..
after knowing him ..
i do learn how to accept the things happening around me ..
i know God has a purpose why he brings me birth and growing up with this family ..
as what the bible says "God has a purpose for everything."

i leave it to God ..

playing a game so eagerly

i was so tired from night-long wakefulness just because of playing a game !!
yes a game ..
hahaha !!
game from a handphone ..
haha !!
funny isn't it?
that i wasn't able to sleep the whole night just because of playing cellular phone ..
i also asked myself why i was doing that ..
then a phrase came out my mind as i was askin' myself..
"i was so eager doing this because i want to be placed my name at the TOP."
and suddenly i also thought ..
"why was people wasn't that eager to search for God's word?"
they're too busy with other things ..
such as internet, cellphones, friends ..
they are too busy with that ..
why don't we give our time searching for God's word?
we really need that rather than spending and wasting our time with senseless things that can't fulfill us ..
God's word can fulfill us .. can fill us happiness and love and everything what God is ..

LESSON:
HINDI NA AKO MAGPUPUYAT FOR A SENSELESS PURPOSE SUCH THAT .. TO PALACE MY NAME AT THE TOP .. I'LL BE MORE EAGER TO SEARCH FOR THE WORD OF GOD THAT TEACHES ME TO BE RIGHTEOUS..

I WANT YOU , I LOVE YOU

definitely , im in-love ..
to whom?
hahahaha ..
it's him whom i love much more than before ..
i haven't seen him yet i love him ..
who?
its Christ ..
i want to be with him forever and live in eternity with him ..
im inspired ..
haha !!
superrrrrrrrrr !!!

know why?
im so blessed ..
i have a lot of answered prayers ..
means ANG LAKAS KO KAY GOD =))
yea .. kanya kanyang conclude lang yan ..
sobrang saya ko now that i have him again at nakabalik na ako sakanya ..
probably many of my friends wouldn't believe this that i am now in Christ again ..
i onced was fall but now im found ..

yea maybe i am unworthy but God is faithful and just and will forgive me to all of my sin ..
this is a promise and i proved it ..
God never fails to his promises ..
only, we have to have faith and believe him in all he do ..
he has a purpose for everything ..
just trust him ..
and i do ..
i surrendered to him a lot of things i enjoyed here on earth but i've learned that material things here on earth wouldn't lasts .. but the love of Christ for us would lasts !

many are also asking me what benefits will i get here in serving the Lord , they say that i am just wasting my time ..
but Jesus spoke to me and say that there's no material things here on earth will be my reward but my reward is in eternal life =))
that was an awesome promise ..
isnt it?

i may be tired all day long but the happiness and the joy and the feeling of fulfillment in doing this things are the rewards for me ..

haha !!

sobrang dami ko ng natututunan about life and marami na rin nagbago sakin ..
such as .. i dont need someone .. i need God .. i dont need such things .. i need eternal things .. i dont have to be loved by someone but i am loved by my God ..
wala nga akong lovelife , nor barkada but still im happy living with the Lord my God .. =))



=)) THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE and the HOLY BIBLE




AACL 24

my purpose, our purpose

do you know your purpose of your life?
why you are here in this world?
why you are now living? breathing?
do you know the main purpose why you created here in this world?
probably, i answered this NO at first when i asked about this ..
yes, i don't the reason why am i living for ..

maybe you too ..
but, fortunately there's one good thing to know why we are here ..
but of course we still don't know our purpose yet ..
im happy living here ..
while reaching and attaining my goals in life such as fulfulling it ..
but you know what?
its self centered reasons ..
yet that's not our purpose ..

have you ever asked yourself about it?
the purpose of your life?
me? i asked it a lot of times but i failed to know it so ..
until one day after reading the THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE by Rick Warren i was so inspired knowing that there's still a way to know your life's purpose ..
it all starts with GOD !!
start in him ..
because we are made BY God and For God ..
life will never makes sense without God ..
he is the beginning of all ..

he created you so he do know why he created you ..
if you asked him he will answer you ..
if you'll be going to ask me what your purpose is even your parents doesn't know why you are created ..
they are just the way used by God for you to live ..
but God created you so he know why you are created ..

GO LIVE WITH GOD AND START DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE ..

GROW IN CHRIST =)

GOD BLESS =)

the battle of nightmares

JUNE 11 exactly at 12 midnight i fell asleep ..
a dream came to me ..
too vague ..
too dark ..
i can only hear screams ..
i can only see myself lying on my bed ..
suddenly on that setting ..
i saw someone standing beside my bed ..
i didn't know who it was but i was so afraid to look at it ..
and looking at the window, i also saw someone outside knocking ..
he knocked so loud that i was so nervous .. i felt so cowardly ..
the one knocking on my window wanted me to open it and let him enter my room ..
i knew i was just dreaming ..
but still i trusted the Lord ..
i prayed and shouted JESUS many times and i tried to look at the man standing beside me ..
then i woke up ..
that was just a nightmare but i saw myself and the demons who wanted me to be with them ..
i looked at the clock and it was exactly 3:30 am!
i was so nervous that i found it hard to go back to sleep ..
so i decided to read the verses in the bible to make myself calm ..
and it made me so ..
it made me calm and feel secure ..
what great things Jesus has done for me ..
he is the one standing beside my bed ..
He's so great !
amazing !

in order to win the spiritual battle, we need to read the scriptures or the word of God and let God's will be done. your burdens--leave them to God and He will surely give you wisdom on what to do.

TRUST GOD IN EVERYTHING!

..was dead and is alive,was lost and is found again!

my theme song while writing this blog is the song, STILL by Hillsong ..
i cried the second time realizing many things God has made me realize ..
yes .. i am a believer of Christ; and, i've known Him since I was seventeen .. and that was last 2009, before my 18th birthday ..
i grew in Him .. i knew how great He is; but, there were things which wrong ..
my interpretation of all of the things i've known about Him ..
i gave much focus on the things i do than on the reasons why im doing them ..
i lost my way as a result..
i took the path which was not for me
and have sinned against heaven and His name ..
i was unworthy and sinful ..
until one day i got sick .. i felt like dying ..
hirap na hirap na ako that time ..
every night i experienced nightmares and it made me feel so afraid of everything ..
i was afraid and felt so weak ..
until some words which says,
"LEAVE EVERYTHING AND TRUST ME", came up my mind, and
which I believe God had told me.. i followed
and surrendered everything ..
WEDNESDAY of JUNE 2 i was so sick until JUNE 9 ..
nearly, i was about to be confined today, JUNE 10 ..
but yesterday, the Lord spoke to me ..
He told me that i had to leave everything and trust Him ..
at that point when i agreed and followed Him,
instantly, i was healed !!!!!
i know now the purpose of everything ..
i was lost .. but now, here He is, calling me again for the second time ..
GOD IS LOVE !!
He really loves us !!!!!


* ung sakit ko po ay flu .. nung nagpacheckup ako, nalaman namin na masyadong mataas ung count ng white blood cells ko .. normal count of WBC must be around 10,000 cumm .. pero yung sakin ay umabot ng 11,000 cumm .. sobrang hirap na hirap ako kasi gabi-gabi ako binabangungot .. what's weird about it is that, every 2am, nagigising ako .. at pag hapon hanggang gabi, sobrang taas ng lagnat ko ..


IM SO BLESSED ..
GOD MADE ME SO SPECIAL ..
WHY SPECIAL?
BECAUSE HE MADE ME NEW AGAIN !
HE FILLED ME AGAIN WITH LOVE AND JOY =D
PRAISE GOD !!!


CONTINUE BELIEVING IN HIM AND HE IS SURELY WITH YOU FOREVER ..

JOHN 3:16

camp wilderness

exciting tong camp na ito!!
akala ko its just a simple camp..
but i was wrong ..
sobrang naging masaya ito..
na-feel ko ung presence ni God guiding us..
sobrang nabless ako..
madami din akong natutunan dito..
to speak in front of the crowd and to develop cooperativeness as a member..
haha!! although hindi kami ung nag-champion im still proud na kahit jelly ace lang ung price namin well, I ENJOYED A LOT!!

students @ work

why is it that i find it hard to wake up early??
ang aga naman kasi ng pasok ko..
7am..
nakakatamad nga naman bumangon ng sobrang aga just to fix yourself then take long hours of travel..
matatawa ka talaga kasi laging late..
haha!!
but of course as an educator it's our responsibility to wake up early..
haha!! through the help of our God i know, magiging punctual na din tau as an educator student haha..

the game of survival

annechua:]

this blog is a mess ..
i think ..
hehe =)
why a mess?
so simple..
life is a game of survival ..
we all think that the strong ones' will surely win the game ..
and the weakest will lose the game..
yeah it's right perhaps..
the battle between strong and weak ..
the battle between the black and white ..
the battle between the bad and good..
life is just like this ..
the strong wins while the weak loses ..
but when will the weak learn to be strong to win the fight?
white wins over the black..
means peace and doom but as of now black wins over white..
why?
the suicidal trend noe called---EMO/GOTHIC
then the battle between good and evil ..
of course good will win ..
we are the good ones' but we are the loser..
why?
this world is ruled by evil..
and they are using us ..
to win the victory ..
and for the life to be fair..
HAVE JESUS..
HE WILL TEACH YOU AND BRING YOU TO RIGHTEOUSNESS!

=)

a new year thought

annechua:]

akala natin pag new year "BAGO"
all things are new
but probably..
not all things are new..
..may mga bagay na dapat iaccomplish sa past year..
to say na BAGO ang lahat sa NEW YEAR ..
we must learn to accept that things were meant to be that way..
na talagang may mga bagay na nangyayari na di mo inaasahang mangyayari pala..
we must also leaRN to forgive .. and forget ..
kung anu man ang nagawa nila sayo ...
remember past is past ..
akala natin pag new year NEW din ang lahat ..
but in fact, this is only a reminder that we should be a NEW ONES..
or a reminder na dapat ma-RENEW tayo ..
or sa online games, some call it REBIRTH
hehe =)
dont forget to put God first..
PRAY..
and you'll have a better,well,pretty,nice, and good 2010!
=)
be blessed =)
