The Abode of Wonders

• Abode (Home)

A room that epitomizes heaven. A room that speaks well of the occupant. A room, just for the engineer. A room just for me. Welcome to my new room!!!

After staying for two months in our Staff House, my boardmates and I have come to Villa Apolonia (that’s in Campos Street, Dasma Bayan, Cavite). It’s a great place by the way; we have a 2-storey unit, with 2 rooms and 2 comfort rooms (Just like globe... 222!). Let me introduce you to this place I call heaven…

• My Lair. This is where I spend most of my time (besides my comfort room and bed). I have my inspirational books, engineering books and my Bible. I get inspiration from my the blue rectangular glass covered frame (which I’ll be introducing to you a little while). From the inspiration, I post my directions in my own cork board with all the little things I do like my laundry chores, my CFC-FFL schedules, directories and some names to invite and to emailed about many good news. It’s not quite a good desk but I can live with it, I have my laptop anyways.

• The thing I call blue rectangular glass covered frame.

Well here it is..As promised I’m introducing you to it. The thing I call blue rectangular glass covered frame is actually a simple picture frame with some simple couple dong extra ordinary poses- Pa cute pose, pa sweet pose. I had (my Francine and I) our pictures in it. See. We look good... Now are you inspired as well?

• My lungga. My uratex foam and strong iron bed-Great combo!!

My lungga is my resting place. That’s the first and last place I am when I’m just home. By the way, that bear is from my Baby. She gave it to me during our Bataan-Manila weekend.

Beside my bed is my tumbler. Would you like to know what’s inside the tumbler?

• Even greater room. My room is my resting place. The actual rest. Everyday I go home and rest in a gleeful stance. I enjoy my work every detail of it. I love my work-small and great! There are times that I’m tired, and needed an even a greater room that is in God. His great guidance, He always reminds me that I may take rest, a breather in Him. I may pause but I know that my God neither rests nor stops. He is able, He is mighty, He is faithful, and He never tires. So I rest in His love and put all my cares on Him because He cares for me.

The wonderful abode found in God!

Last night, as I finished interceding for our YFL youth camp in Iloilo, I was again reaffirmed of my fate. Let me share to you the lines that struck me.

“A good man draws a circle around him and cares for those within. His women, his children. Other men draw a larger circle and bring within their brothers and sisters. Some men have a great destiny. They must draw around themselves a circle that encloses many, many more. Your Father was one of those men. You must decide for yourself whether you are as well” –Tictic from the movie 10,000BC.

I believe from the beginning of my wonderful journey with Him, every step of the way was an instrumental preparation. The good-trainings, meeting significant people, leading, following— and also the not-so-good- persecutions, maligning, distrust, character assassination, “tsismis”, that were all against me—were the things that molded to become a person of strong character, of strong conviction, of vision and of wisdom. Truly an instrumental preparation and I continue to be in awe of His great wonders moving, penetrating and resonating in me.

• Call for intercession. I know that I’m an imperfect vessel, and just a blurry light to the world so I continue to pray that I’ll never grow weary that I may fulfill my purpose for His glory. I draw strength, wisdom, guidance, love and deep happiness (Joy) from an infinite source through prayer. Help me pray that I may continue to spread His goodness to others through my presence and time and in turn introduce more people to come back to His grace. Help me pray that I’ll do excellently in my secular job and as well as in my service to my CFC-FFL family and the Church. It’s not about me, it’s about You! All glory belongs to my God.
