Hello, friends! It's been about a good 5 months since I took a step further and won over my doubts. I constantly prayed that I would graduate from UP Mindanao, when at those times I wasn't deserving to graduate because I was doing nothing for my Special Problem and a major subject I did not complete. I was on the verge of failure. My father kept on doubting about me. He told me that it would be better if I went on work even if I haven't graduated. But my mother and my two siblings held on to the promise that I can do these things. On that time, I found out that I still am a child of God, and I can ask the Heavenly Father to guide me through the challenge. I sought the help of a few friends to pray for me as I went through those tough times. And through His Word on Psalm 13 , I hoped that this challenge will come to pass. And it did come true. I finally graduated on April 19, 2013. Not only that, my Special Problem was a finalist for the Best Special Problem c...

From the Gospel of John: John 12:20-26 (New International Version) Jesus Predicts His Death   20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we would like to see Jesus." 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.   23 Jesus replied, " The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified . 24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me ; and where I am, my servant also will be . My Father will honor the one who serves me . ASL joins the whole Christian World in the observance of Holy Week. KENNETH

Dear friends, I am so wanting to make this year very special for me. I want my last days of my "minor" years to be far better than what I am desiring right now - that I will make myself worthy to be in this "mature" world. This time, I want to let myself go of my old ways. I'll never again... be childish. be a liar. be stubborn. be a loser. be my family's burden. be immoral. be stupid. be weird. be unaware. be dumb. be mischievous. be unforgiving. be hurt. be drained. be down. be a part of the enemy's plan. be with the world. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart ; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. - Jeremiah 1:4-6 After I encountered God, my vision as a Christian became clearer and clearer. I realized that the LORD planned to set me apart from the world even before I was born . I was planned by the LORD to be a good example to the world. I was planned by Him to be Hi...
