Finally we are done with our practicum in PE aerobic dance workout as our midterm exam. 

It is very tiring but still we are glad that we had done it very well and at the same time it was a great time for us to have an exercise beyond our busy schedules.

1 Timothy 4:14 (NIV)

"Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you."

The elder statesman Paul is teaching his young disciple, Timothy, that having a spiritual gift doesn’t mean that we can let that gift go unattended. On the contrary, we are to discover and cultivate our gifting. God expects us to take care of what He has given us, so don’t get distracted with things that ultimately have little value to your soul. The Holy Spirit has given you something magnificent—do not neglect that!

Foodtrip sa Tag-ulan

Malungkot man at nakakatamad kapag umuulan, sumasaya naman ang araw kung ganito ang pagsasaluhan na sinabayan pa ng kwentuhan...dabest and weekend kahit umuulan..

Everyday you have your breakfast to feed your body. But you also need to nourish your mind. If you are not a breakfast person then have it for lunch or supper.

The point is to make the time, slow down a bit.

Putting our minds in the right frame helps us to focus on what is really important.

SLOW DOWN -- QUIET YOUR MIND -- FOCUS ON GOD.

Our lives have to many distractions, always fighting for supremacy.

Reset your priorities, get some peace of mind and get close to God.

Proverbs 27:19 ”As in water face reflects face, so a man’s HEART reveals the man.”

Before I go to sleep I want to share this reflection about the bible verse Proverbs 27:19... reflect from it and be TRULY BEAUTIFUL! good night :))


They say that “BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!”

But,

that’s not exactly true.
True beauty is NOT in the eye of the beholder … “TRUE BEAUTY IS IN THE HEART OF THE BEHELD”.

Bible verses about true beauty and our hearts
God says that true beauty springs up out of the heart.
God says that it’s our heart that reveals how beautiful we are … or aren't?

So,

How good do you look? How beautiful are you?
Are you a beautiful man? Are you a beautiful woman?

Over the next few minutes, let me encourage you to take your own eye and be the beholder of your own heart.

How beautiful is your own heart? For therein, lies your true beauty!

Hey man!
God says make sure you LOOK GOOD on the inside … the inward appearance.

"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.

          It's been an achievement for us, the NSTP Officers, for we had done a lot in the stage preparation, as well as in sash making for the CIT Olympics. Our efforts and sacrifices are very worthy for we had made the stage beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

It's been also a good time for us, to work as one, and to have bonding even if we are very tired.
