me and my cousin patrick. paano ba magrotate ng picture? teka, kung nirotate ko yan tas bumaliktad baka mamatay ako, mahuhulog ako sa picture. okay lang ganitong posing. eto ang tawag na living by the edge. hehehe.

sunday service was great. talked about king azariah.
thing was, this king reigned at 16 years old and served God for 52 years! ang tagal! he listened to God. he did everything right. but he did so and God helped hime marvelously until he was strong. until he was strong. when he was strong, he decided to enter God's temple altar and offer. wrong decision. God is holy. the ending was the king got leprosy right away and had it til he died. Azaria's name in hebrew was "helped by God". oh that my name may be such. oh to have no confidence in myself and only in God! i really want that.
grabe. the word was about how great men of God who start out so well end up so bad. how did it happen? he did serve God still, but he didn't serve God His way. how many times have i had my agenda and "prayed" for His will and made my agenda "his will"? all things indeed should be prayed about and consulted to the God of all. all of us no matter how close to God we are and great are always susceptible to being proud of ourselves. we see ourselves as adequate enough to be independent from God.
i pray in my heart that i have a life in which God is honored. in which i am totally dependent on Him. for i know that only when we are totally dependent on God are we capable of truly loving Him and being the best we can be.
