ON God's Favor

It's so difficult to understand ...

You see, favor is given to those people without basis or bases most of the time. This word has something to do with grace. A person receives favor even though he does not deserve it.

In my life, this has always been true. Blessings come from the north, south, east and west and you bet, I just don't deserve it.

God's favor is one of the reasons why I am always on my knees.

On God's Direction

It was January when I learned that I will be assigned back in Cagayan to lead the Erdkinder group in La Granja.

Again, another “curve” in God’s direction in my life.

I recently learned that sometimes “you need to stop planning and just allow God to take over.”

jeni the "mephibosheth"

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
