The Joy of Saying Yes
1 month and 2 weeks of not posting a blog. Yikes! I fell out of my routine again, but as I read earlier in Proverbs 24:16 “Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up.” This blog is an attempt to get back up and start creating again. I meant to write […]
In The Middle of Two Big Things
When we look back on our lives, it’s usually the big moments we remember most. The highs that made us feel alive, or the lows that broke us. It’s completely natural to think that way. In the Bible, we also got a glimpse of these big moments in the characters’ lives. We saw Joseph’s rollercoaster […]
Cru AIA Annual Planning
Finally, an involvement to missions again! Im very blessed to be invited and take part in this ministry for year 2025-2026. I started to volunteer in Sports Ministry back in Feb 2024. I don’t have any professional experience in sports but oh how God moves. You would think that this Sports ministry is small but […]
About Tomorrow
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Proverbs 27:1 This was the word I meditated on yesterday during my quiet time. We should really be careful in (vainly) planning for tomorrow. A good example would be, I thought and planned to finish at least 2 long videos […]
Time in Karuizawa
Note: Long blog 🙂 “For the moment, just let me know your willingness”, Janet wrote in her email as she asks for volunteers to clean OMF’s guest house in Karuizawa. We are located in Chiba, that is about 2-3 hours drive to Karuizawa. I was more than willing! To help and to go. So and […]
First Day at Home
I had a vivid dream after a long time. It was about something simple and funny — I went to an event in Japan without a proper attire. When I woke up, I realized I was back home in Manila. My mom’s house, in my sister’s room, my niece waking up at the same time, […]
DisneySea 2025
I met Ate Cristina through our church’s online meeting. She sent a prayer request for “Destiny Japan”. That’s a huge prayer request, almost like an impossible thing to happen in our generation (lol joke as of writing this i feel like it’s totally possible but at that time, it felt like it wasn’t okay). Anyways, […]
7 Things I Learned in the Mission Field
I only have a few weeks remaining to finish my mission trip in Japan. There are more than 7 things, of course, that I learned in this journey of following God and serving His kingdom. I’ll make sure to write more when I get back to the Philippines. Godly families are God’s design Growing up […]
The Lord is at work in Japan
Before going to Japan, one of my prayers was “Lord, allow me to see Your kingdom in Japan”. When I prayed this, it was a hopeful thinking to see all of Japan worshipping God. Or that God would show me the salvation of Japan as a nation. Guess what? God answered. God answered my prayer! […]
New Year’s Eve with Missionaries in Japan
Coming from the Philippines, I’m used to a festive, loud, and bright New Year holiday. I grew up welcoming the year with fireworks, dozens of fruits, prepared meals that would feed us for a week (like maaanyyy delicious, tasty foods), and lots of jumping and shouting. When I experienced Christmas Eve a few nights back, […]
