My soul longs for YOU!


I was a member of Christ Youth in Action in college days; Lingkod ng Panginoon after college days ; and Ang Familya ng Panginoon after getting married.

I honestly miss those days! I miss my friends in the community!
I miss attending prayer meetings; sharing and listening to personal testimonies and especially fellowships!

Maybe, we'll be a part of that community again. I hope someday soon.

For the mean time, here's sharing with you one of my favorites.

AS THE DEER

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee.
You alone are my heart's desire
and I long to worship Thee.

You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee.


You may download the song here.

NAMASTE.

    Hello sis Gemma! I'm so thrilled to know that you're also a member of Ang Lingkod ng Panginoon. Which branch are you in? I also have friends who were from CYA and went to ALNP. :D Once a Lingkod, always a lingkod. God bless you sis.
    By the way, I'm from lingkod Los Banos.

    P.S. This song is one of my faves!

    Fellowship sessions are so spiritually uplifting.
    Knowing that people join hands in worshiping
    the FATHER and praising HIM through songs...
    just inspirational.

    This is such a beautiful and uplifting song which always reminds me of my very active religious life back in the Philippines. This song particularly, played mostly in the recollections and retreats that i have had, give more meaning to me now because I honestly miss those fellowship and church activities.

    It is poles apart to compare the difference between how we celebrate masses and how important going to the church not just on Sundays but everyday. Here in England, Catholic churches are only open on Sundays, at specific time,and because i was used to go the church almost everyday back home I feel lonely and incomplete as far as my faith is concerned. But that's the way it is here so we just have to pray in our own ways at home.

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
