"Hindi pala talaga sumusuko si Lord sa pag pursue sa mga naglalayas na tupa."Several years ago, I was fervently praying for a dear relative who had been wandering away from the Lord with all her wounds and hopelessness. Yesterday, in the church, just when I was approaching the stairs to the choirloft, God had a…
Have you ever gotten frustrated over an unanswered prayer? a slow-progressing career? a seemingly stagnant relationship? your own self-growth and healing? I have.

How will I make my birthday memorable and meaningful? I asked myself when my 30th birthday was just around the corner. I thought of making plans on visiting places I wanted to see, foods I wanted to taste, and activities I wanted to try. Many ideas are available. But I found it necessary to answer…
