the magic of rome.. makes me smile...
i don't know why.. but its magic still lingers in my mind.. and in my heart.. until now i still think of it. i still believe i'll come back there someday.. with my family and all my loved ones..
even though we only spent about three days there and have ran around the places just to catch a glimpse of the ruins, of the structures.. still it remains in my heart.. maybe the history, maybe the vatican, may st.peter, maybe the pope.. or maybe Jesus. in a way, God allowed me to see europe in a way that i'll always remember Him. i'll always feel Him...
now, i am in africa. i love africa. the place, the people... God placed me here. and even though there's a lot of challenges in the mission. God allowed me to smile. to see Him each and every day. in a way, He has been opening opportunities for us here to evangelize more. clps, camps, even just short mtgs with the community members makes me excited for more... for more ways to glorify Him.
europe and africa maybe really different from each other. 1st world and 3rd world. but both stays in my heart deeply. it really is there...

Governed by Him
Father, I ask you to lead me on a new path in spirit, deeper into you.
I want to learn how to imitate the heart attitudes of your Son, Jesus, who came to show me how to open my soul to you...
Open the eyes of my soul to perceive your unseen glory, beauty, truth, holiness. Open my ears to hear you voice.
Today, Father, I ask you to walk in the depths of my being and begin a deeper work... until all the motives and attitudes that govern me.. are governed only by you. - Come, Lord Jesus by Thomas a Kempis (Devotionals from the Imitation of Christ)
That is my constant prayer now.. prayer to really be molded by God.. a prayer to have a deep relationship with our Lord. being here in Tanzania allows me to be with God in every step that I take... i take all the challenges that i face with Him.. from the depths of my being, i offer myself to Him. just wanted to see His holiness and beauty everywhere.
everytime, i see the faces of His people here, i came to realize that there are still a lot of them who really needs God.. there are still a lot who really needs love. i can't complain. i should never complain of the experiences that He makes me experience.. it is just showing me His magnificent love and glory. i cannot contain to speak all the things that God makes my heart experience. hardships, sacrifices, and a lot more.. but behind it, there is joy, let me say, ultimate joy. joy that everytime you go to sleep, you will have the opportunity to pray for everyone and everything. you will have the time to pray each time i wake up. the opportunity of praising Him in every heat of the sun that strikes to my skin, every raindrops that you feel. in everything...
open my eyes, Lord. as slowly, God is opening my eyes to everything that i see. He lets me see His way on the cross. He also allowed me to see the joy in the faces of other people. He wanted me to be a servant. He wanted me to help. He wanted me to praise Him. That in everything I do, it should be governed by Him. In everything I feel, i should feel Jesus in me... God is continuously opening my eyes. the eyes of my heart.
i love you, Jesus!

when once again, God allowed me to feel Him..
i was just there sitting and thinking of why He allowed me to be in this place. why He allowed me to experience Him in this place. why He sent me here... but i guess i am not here to question that.. i am just here to follow His will in my life. i cannot compare the exciting beat of my heart as to what He plans for my life here in africa. in any way, i don't have to question Him.. i just have to believe in Him.. believe that in every move, that in every breath, in every step, Jesus will be there.
just received an exciting news that once again made my heart beat faster. news that i can only thank God and say to Him "you are so amazing and wonderful." my mind and my heart just can't help but be excited of all the plans that He has made for all of us... this is the God that we have.. a powerful one.. a God that made all the universe.. the God that created me and you... =)
even though i experience the hardships on being on mission. but being here is where God has placed me. being here means enjoying life with Him. being here is being with Him.. this is where i can find my God. this is where He wants me to see Him. this is what my life is all about. a life with Jesus.. a life full of miracles...
