Good luck,bad luck...

Good luck, bad luck no one really knows, only God...

This statement popped into my mind as I was thinking about how I would begin this entry... And I do believe that this is the 'synthesis' of what had happened to me last weekend.

Last Friday, I went to Moonwalk because I attended the practice for our covenanting ceremony. Well, that time, I was really having second thoughts of going there because it's not so advisable for me to travel due to some protests going on - calling for the president to step down... Oh well, I still pursued - anyway this is for the Lord. I'm sure that He wouldn't let anything bad happen... and I've always claimed that He's my protector and my shield... Anyway, the trip went smoothly.

The practice went well too, though our keyboardist (Te're) wasn't there because she was sick. We were able to practice all the songs that we're going to sing during the ceremony. I just wish that there would be more attendees in the next practice... there were only a handful who came. I hope that those people who didn't attend the practice for no reason at all (and didn't bother to inform somebody that they couldn't make it) would realize the gravity of this covenant. My point is, how could they commit themselves to the Lord and to live the life of the community if they wouldn't be responsible enough in attending a practice/gathering.

As usual, my honey brought me home. And as soon as I got home, I really prayed hard and had some Bible cutting... I had a sort of heart to heart talk with Him, finally I got the 'guts' to talk to Him about the things that had been making me anxious for quite some time. And being the merciful God that He is, He assured me that I shouldn't let this problem get me. True enough, He answered my problem concretely. Literally.

Last Saturday, I had my interview at MSA-Katipunan. It went fine, but I'm not so sure if I'd still pursue my application there. The thing is, if ever I got accepted, I have to go to work during Saturday and Sunday and my shift is 10am-7pm. I don't think I could compromise my work with my prayer meeting during Saturday. I know I have to be practical, but I know that if God really wills it, He will give me a work that won't be in conflict with the prayer meetings.

After my interview, I went to Moonwalk for the prayer meeting. That gathering is exta special because it's core selection! We got to choose three additional core members and from thereof, the core head and the assistant core head would be selected.

Anyway, I was really flattered to have been nominated for the core... though I wasn't selected, that mere nomination was quite a 'privilege' - there were only five of us who were nominated out of 20/25 members of the group. I guess this isn't my time yet to be a part of the Core group... and maybe God wants me to concentrate more on my ministry and being part of the Teaching Ministry.

Last Sunday, my Honey and I, together with Ate Tess, Kuya Doods, Ate Ima, Kuya Mhalo, Tito Jack and Cristy, watched Game 5 Championship Game of PBA at Cuneta Astrodome. It's Talk & Text versus San Miguel...

This is actually the first time that I watched a live PBA.. and it's championship! We were seated in the Lower Box so we got a good view of the game. In addition, most of those who were seated in that area were San Mig supporters, so I can't help but cheer also. It is as if I were an avid fan of that team. :) I'm not really a basketball fanatic, but what the hell, I had so much fun! Everybody was so excited about the game, each of them cheering for his team. It was a good fight... the scores were close during the fourth quarter... But in the end, San Mig won and so they were the champion for the season...

This day marks our (my honey and I) 37th monthsary...so we've been on for 3 years and 1 month. Unfortunately, we wouldn't able to celebrate it because of unavailability of funds. Hehehe. Funny but it's true. We're facing some financial difficulties right now. Aside from the fact that he's the one paying for everything - food, gas, fare, etc., he's also spending quite a big amount for his medication and check up with his ortho. He's been suffering from back pain due to his psoriasis.

I do hope that everything will be alright... :)

To Ate Ima and Kuya Mhalo, thanks a lot for accommodating me in your home. May God return your generosity a hundred fold...

To Ate Tess and Kuya Doods, thanks for the treat! :)
