GOD's apprentice

Apprenticeship is a familiar lingo for college students. Some call it on-the-job training, while others call it practicum, but it means the same purpose – preparation.

Whatever career path a person decides to choose and so he took up a particular college education degree, there is always that needed “preparatory” subject just before he graduates. Being an apprentice makes the person “taste” what it is to be an engineer, teacher or medical practitioner. This is one of the important highlights of a student because this would guarantee how equipped one could be in facing the actual world.

Well, the same thing goes with our spiritual lives. We also face this “apprentice” stage or on-the-job training everyday. God is preparing us, teaching us, and shaping us so that we could become the persons He wants us to be. God’s training comes in many forms, and with them, we could get hurt, tired or joyful, but His intention remains the same, to bring out in us the character just like Jesus Christ’s.

Being God's apprentice is not easy. So if you’re facing hardship today, just remember that it could be God's preparation for you for a more wonderful and rewarding journey ahead . You just have to be patient and persevere through such trial, and know that God only has best intentions for us. :)

Sometimes, or perhaps most of the time for most, when love has not been reciprocated, remember this: It’s ok.  Love isn’t meant to be reciprocated.  It’s meant to be given and received by the recipient. That’s all.  The reciprocation is only icing on the cake.  Without it, love still is worth celebrating simply because in itself, love is good.  So many heartaches could have been relieved if we only truly embrace and live out this truth. Ang laing version kay.. It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. #GugmaPaMore

What? Me? A Ghost?

I really had this weird dream last night.  Sure, I did have many other dreams since as far back as I can remember, but there are dreams that are just so disturbing they really stand out in one’s memory.  And last night’s was one of those. I dreamt that I was already a ghost, but I didn’t know it.  I still kept on spending time with my family and friends, talking with them.  I didn’t actually realize they weren’t able to see me.  But one day, for some reason, my older sister saw me (which turned out that I actually and supposedly let her see me), and she was the one who revealed that I’ve already died.  And I asked how I died, and she said I was hacked to death.  I was so shocked and scared at what she said, especially that I realize I didn’t remember being physically hurt.  I woke up in the middle of the night panting because of that.  And I remember asking myself while still in my dream, why wasn’t I in paradise?  Wasn’t that w...
