Experiencing Sabbath school

   My first memorized verse in the BIBLE is “GOD IS LOVE”, from the first book of JOHN chapter 4:8. I was born in catholic faith but I grow up environed with my Adventist aunts and relatives. All the way to my childhood, our father’s sister was influencing us about their church services and faith community; she used to bring us in Sabbath school every Saturday to fall in with other Adventist kids. Sabbath school is a place were children are group according to grade level, they were taught of good doings of Jesus Christ,  sing and listen to story telling about Bible story and their teachers are also their mothers.

   Same with catholic faith, Adventist has also symbols like bread, wine and foot washing. They believe in Holy Trinity, incarnation or second coming of Jesus Christ and salvation. They practice baptism and communion but they exercise it four times a year of their church service. They do missionary outreach. One of my cousins was given opportunity to travel in Korea for missionary activity. Adventist is also vegetarians, they don’t eat pork. Alcohol and tobacco is also prohibited. Every summer our aunt enrolled us in VBS (Vacation Bible School) were I completed my intermediate level. What I’ve miss during summer was being part of Flores de Mayo. My younger sister is lucky that she experience both VBS and Flores de Mayo.

   The most memorable things of my religious experience are to learn the values of your faith. It is not important on what beliefs you were raised but the good influences that made you to be better person that could be share to others.

Jesus knows how I feel

Why should Jesus take time for so many people in unimportant positions? Because he is God who knows each one of us from the inside out. He knows our feelings, He feels the same feeling we do. When I feel left out, he knows just how I feel. He came to this earth in order to experience what we have to experience. I love Having a God who knows what I feel in the inside out.

Face your fear

Fear of doing something new is normal. But if you act with confidence and with faith in heart, your fears will vanish. When they do, you will experience a sense of satisfaction from trying something new and succeeding. If we accept what we feel as normal, we can deal with them. And with God in our hearts, there is nothing to fear of.

Dream of having one

Me and my wife always wanted to have a baby because until now we are still hoping that God will listen to our prayers. We to her doctor yesterday for medication and opinion for the treatments needed in order for us to produce one. Some say that making baby is just easy but for me i don't beleaive in them based on experience. So, when the results came up, her doctor said that she had an ovarian cyst. When the doctor said that, i was frustrated that we cannot make baby., but the doctor said it was caused by delayed menstration of my wife so she gave her a treatment for the cyst to dissapear and she said to my wife after taking the medicine for 10 days, she will take pills for 2 months to regulate her menstration. I was happy when the doctor said that we could still make a baby after my wife finishes her treatment. God is still good and he listens to all our prayers.

Love every creation

I want to sail to the sea, to climb up the tree and see the world from above and the silence it brings. God had made it all possible. From his image and likeness, every little and big creatures are very special to him and should be taken care by us. To have a wonder place to live, value everything and love everyone of us.

Reflection

May all those who suffer from poverty, sickness and as well as those who suffer hardship and sick for justice, may they all know that they are part in the suffering of christ who died for all of our sins. We believe that there is no impossible in the work of our God. This sufferings are part of our daily life. We should always pray for protection and may God enlighten our minds to do the right thing.

God is the center in our family, work, lives, etc. We should be satisfied on what he has been giving us everyday especially our lives. He teaches us the right things in order for to be in the right path. We must give and share to others what he has tought us to do. Live life to the fullest with God's grace.
