Good Plan or GOD's Plan?


I'm currently applying for a part-time job at a call center. I'm just feeling the thing that I should not miss the opportunity of money. But on the other side of it, there is something inside my spirit that says NO to this work. Why?
  • It could compromise my devotional time.
  • It could shorten my time allotment for ministry.
  • It could shorten my time with my family.
  • It could tire my body - although a large sum of money will be expected.
  • I am too young for conversational jobs.
I am now setting the acid test to this job I'm applying. This could set my priorities in chaos or in order.

Praying,


KENNETH

Philippine Azkals: The Accents (2)

Image
This is Part 2 of a series of posts about the Philippine Azkals' accents. Click here to go to my 1st post. Hello there, Azkaleros! Well, my previous post talked about the accents of some prominent members of the Philippine Azkals, the men's national football team. Last time we talked about Aly Borromeo 's accent that's like a mix of Californian, Hispanic and Bisaya . We appreciated the ruff-and-tuff Southeastern American accent of Jason Sabio . We are tickled by the quirky Sussex accent of Simon Greatwich . And we do love the almost-Oxford-standard accent of Rob Gier . Now let's get into another set of players. First up, the prime goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, the 21 year-old lad from London. Now, let's go back to that video starring him in 2008 (We'll observe, too, the other person interviewed here.) As I've been observing his interviews every now and then, I am able to think that Neil's delivery of the language is close to what they call...

Rumi and Me

Image
I dared to ask this question in my mind: “Will I be a person who will be remembered a lot here in UP?” To that, Rumi “answers” through a line of one of his poems: “Fall into his hands and you will weep like a cloud; Run from him and you will freeze over like snow.” While pondering upon Rumi's “answer”, I thought if I became too proud of myself lately. I became too selfish and self-centered. I did not care if I ruined the pride of my family, my friends – my whole circle of life. I began to catch a realization that the pronoun him refers to my God. I ran away from God and turned to my own way of showing myself that I am a student of UP, without recognizing my relationship to him. These days I feel so cold about my relationship to God, to my family and friends. I feel so empty inside that I am not really enjoying my growth as a person and as a part of the society. The Word of God says that when we draw near to him, fall into his hands, then we will weep in our sorrows while we...

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with...
