Being a YEAST

Y EARS OF L IFE: M ORE IN L OVE Efren Tagudan Salvador In a billion of faces, you are most special Seeing you in the morning makes me smile You make my heart beat, like a horse running a mile In my heart it burns like a fire. Life with you has a lot of meaning Being with you never made me boring. That even you don’t stop snoring I will still keep loving you and never ending. You will live in a million years Please lived it with the Lord with fear. For there is no better life I know Than to be with the one who created you. As for me your better half, I will make you my queen and will never stop. To commit to the love we shared,  twill age like rock. Where season's will just leave a mark. Our dreams and future will tell How Good our God is to dwell. That in His presence we swell Like living waters filling our well. I will Love you till the end. As I promised and it will not bend. Till death I will stay and will not fray ...

It is in my heart to share my devotions through this blog for the past days.  And has been quite sometime that I was not able to do it.  The day job is requiring me to be on my feet running for the earliest time possible.  But this morning is different, as always I need to spend my time with the BOSS in heaven first. Knowing your  priority is the keyword.  As expected today, I will be ending my day late due to a scheduled meeting with the Kidapawan Chamber of Commerce, arranged by my colleague. My reading is in the book Genesis 49 and 50 and the first chapter of Exodus, it was the end and a new beginning.  The death of Jacob and his sons, the 12 tribes of Israel.  The new beginning of a season for the Israelites who are growing into a mighty nation in a foreign land. One verse caught my attention and this is  Genesis 50:20  " You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save t...

Nine LOVE Years It's our 9th wedding anniversary today, I am still here at the office in General Santos City, waiting for my turn to present to the boss. I have planned to surprise my baby tonight with a bouquet of flowers and a dinner to a restaurant with a nice table cloth. Then watch a movie......Eat, Love and Pray. Since it will not happen tonight, it is such a sad part of the story. But still I want to thank God for His blessings in our marriage. For being together in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer till death do we part is enough to give him thanks. For giving us two cute kids, Samm who is starting to walk on her own and Yohanne's smile can suck those negative energies we get on our day job. For the supportive family we have both from the natural and spiritual. I have seen how we have grown from the day we shared our vows at the Garden in Waterfront Hotel, Davao. I can say that LOVE indeed is AMAZING! 1 Corinthians 13:13. It has the...

  It has been long that I have not written notes for my devotions. Time flies faster than I thought; I have finished 1 and 2 Corinthians without any notes. Don't blame it on busy schedules cause by work and cares of this world. Be responsible enough to take the blame and shape up for God. Mark 8:26 (KJV) For what shall it  profit  a  man , if he shall gain the  whole   world , and lose his own soul? Please put God the FIRST priority above all else. One natural principle is discussed by Paul in his second letter to the Corinthian church is farming. Yes agriculture is the oldest profession; Genesis 2 when God started farming. Genesis 2:4-6, 8-9     When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,  5  neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil .  6  Instead, springs [ b ]  came up from the ground and watered all the land. 8  Then the Lord God planted a ga...

I am enjoying the book of Romans that I was able to finish the 16 chapters in less than a week. My day job required me this week to be waking up early, time flies so fast, that I failed to notice it is weekend again. Well welcome to life, as long as the Lord is allowing us to breathe; we are still part of the "cycle of life". It is a debate on opinions on how we live this life. As human beings we are given the freedom on what we want to do with it, because of the free will that God will bestowed us. God is full of grace and mercy; He had provided us with a brain to think and unlimited abilities, for we are created in His likeness. Paul in his letter to the Romans, beginning Chapter 1, is consistently reminding Christians on how to live right. It is a bit subjective because sometimes, what is right is relative to somebody's interpretation. But God never failed to show to us, through the life of Jesus and through His words, the Bible what is the right way of conduct....

     I was busy running this week. I had two episodes of getting on the road by 4am, on Wednesday and Thursday. The end result, I was not able to write down my devotions in my blog. It was the first week of May when I started the Book of Acts, with a goal to finish it at the end of the month. It was indeed amazing that, by Monday, May 24 th , I am already in the Book of Romans. If you are following Paul's ministry, It is his letter to strengthen the Christians in Rome,and became the 6 th Book of the New Testament. I am already on the 9 th Chapter and it came to my attention the Creator: Creation concept on Chapter 9:20-21.      We love to create, is it because  we are created in the image and likeness of God? I have friends who are into creation of buildings, art, music and for me in agriculture. Wait a minute, you mean you create plants and animals? No, we can't create but we imagine on how to improve them. The outcome of a c...

     It was a very busy 2nd week of May, there is a big challenge on the job since February.  With El Niño  phenomenon adding to it made it double difficult.  As a child of God, I am focusing my eyes on Him and get my wisdom in the word of God.        My devotional blog got lost for this week, I thank God I still manage to have good readings it is just that I was not able to write it in this blog.  I am still in the book of Acts and the Lord is adding  my knowledge on the operations of the early church.  Considering its setting as the 1st century, ministry during that specific era is totally different comparing it at present.  Let us take information for example, it travels in a tortoise speed during those years but now information travels in the speed of light. But what is notable during the early church is that the Power of God is very evident, it is tangible. Miracles, Signs and Wonders and Heali...

     I am very happy waking up this morning, I had a good rest waking up at 10am.  When God blessed us with babies, sleeping patterns became erratic.  And going to work on weekdays will let you sacrifice an 8 hour of sleep or in my case sleeping on our bed.  Most of the time you will find me sleeping on Samm's room because she tends to be awake in the middle of the night.  She needs someone on her side to put her back to sleep.      I tried to have my devotions at 6am a while ago, after I turned over Yohanne to ate Pilar but my eyes are falling.  It is our agreement with my Bb (that is what I call my wife, Bb or Mahal), that from 4am to 6am I will be responsible for our 7 month old Yohanne.  After 6am it will be with the Yaya, so guess what I did? I went back to sleep and regained consciousness at 10am.      Going back to my devotions, I am still in the Book of Acts and I am learning each day with the help...

      I remembered that I have a blogspot account it. It was October 2006 when I first wrote a note, for the purpose of documenting my little angels progress. It was not a successful feat as it only contained 4 entries. I decided to have my devotions everyday and in order for me not to fail, I need to have it written in my blog. I started it with windows live but I was having a hard time on the format, the site is not that user friendly. I manage however to import some of the entries to my facebook notes which is linked on this site. I published 2 devotions on wall, you can follow the linked as you click facebook notes. Now wanted to do reverse, I will write my devotions on this blogsite and have it linked in my facebook wall.        I don't have a digital bible on my PC, I am reading my bible online.  In my windows mobile phone I have olive tree and a version of New Living Translation (NLT) in it.  That is what I am using durin...
