I'd just like to share a video of this kid, 21 years old, diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his leg. The doctors told him he was cured, but then found 50 tumors in his lungs on his first check up. And started living his life to the full. Fulfilling his bucket list of things to do and places to go to- motivated by love. Love that he had received from his family.

and, he has this to say:
"While I am sad that I perhaps I may not get the chance to experience love in any romantic capacity I have loved and been loved more than most people will ever [experience] in their lifetime.

"The decision to be positive is not one that disregards or belittles the sadness that exists. It is rather a conscious choice to focus on the good and to cultivate happiness and genuinely happiness for happiness is not a limited resource."-Christopher Aiff 

When I watch the video, tears start running down on my face. I don't know how is that possible I am a man I must not cry. That's the mindset implanted to me when I was young but that was wrong all along. "If you believe in the lie, the lie become the truth"

Mico's Power Points:


1. God loves you even who you are, what you are going trough even if your the worst person in this world it doesn't matter. We are all equal in His eyes "nagkaiba lang ng serving".

2. God is a God of impossible things. In this world it can't be possible but in God nothing is impossible. I encourage you guys not to depend on your own strength, ability, knowledge, in the patterns of the world cause really its not your battle alone. Open the door of your heart so that God may come in.

3. Be Proud of what God has given you and be thankful. We live here on earth not to gain wealth or to be rich, to be popular, but really to honor Him in what ever we do. We are only His stewards of all of riches that we have right now. Know your purpose and use it to help others. God still uses the ordinary people of this earth to create transformation and change, the only question is are you willing to use by God? 
 
Picture
One Sunday as I woke up early, my mother told me to take a bath and prepare myself because we are going to our old church near our home. As I can remember, my last visit to my old church was last year 2011. 

When we got there, I can feel a burning desire inside my heart. I didn't know what is it for.  As we went inside, I can see the joy from the eyes of the senior ushers giving handouts for the topic of the service. The topic was all about "missions" which is I'm currently thinking of joining a 10-day missions trip. I think this is a confirmation from God.

During the praise and worship time as I sing worship song (slow song because of the church is pentecostal and conservative), I noticed the right side of the congregation. It is a group of deaf people worshipping God. Peoplewho can not hear nor make noise. Suddenly my heart breaks seeing these people doing worship and yearning for God.

Being deaf is not a hindrance for them in worshiping a big God, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. (double thumbs up to you guys!)

Back then, I was reminded of how lucky and blessed I am for having this complete body. Having a mouth to speak out my emotions and ears for listening to others. Isn't it great that we all have these kind of features but take it for granted? My brothers and sisters, I encourage you to use the full potential of what God has given you. Do not compare yourself to others because you are a unique creation of God and we are not the same.

Acknowledge Him in any ways that you can and remember that "WORSHIP IS NOT AN OPTION"
