The comeback of the "accidental singer"...

After almost a year since I "lie low" onstage with my "singing career"..LOL!..God made a way that He could use me again in leading the Praise and Worship team last Sunday.

I've been involved in the P and W Filipino team before (our schedule is usually every second Sunday of the month but the schedule is flexible depending on the availability of our team or any church activities) I temporarily stopped being "onstage" since I'm 4 months preggy. I'm happy and contented just being on the background like preparing the songs, reminding the P and W of our schedules and supporting the group in prayer.

Last Saturday, the lead singer is not available so my bro asked me to lead and told me that my SIL will take care of Hyzyd. Well, if the work is for God I really couldn't say NO. I love God and I wanted to do the best for Him. I let my bro promised to back me up since I haven't yet practice my vocal chords to the highest level...LOL!...So, it's settled after my bro and hubby assured me that they'll support me and my bro is the one who prepared the line-up.

1. New Doxology- Praise God
2. Open the eyes of my heart Lord
3. Friend of God
4. I'm trading my sorrows
5. Jesus, Lover of My Soul
6. Lord, I give you my heart

You can click on the link if you wanted to listen to the songs . You'll surely be blessed as much as these songs blessed my weary soul.

During the practice:

My hubby is the drummer...

My bro is the guitarist as well as our music director...he..he...

Sorry guys...I'm giving you my back- too engrossed with my "singing career"...LOL!

During the Sunday Worship:

Psalm 100, verses 1-5:

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

To God be the glory! I believe that amidst the language barrier, still we're united in one voice praising our Almighty God in Spirit and truth. He's really working in our midst and everyone is blessed by God.

I wanna thank my sis-in-law (in black maternity dress) and Ate Yheng (in pink three-fourth blouse) for taking care of baby Hyzyd during the practice and service.

I give all thanks and glory to our God alone. He deserves all praises, respect and honor! I love you Lord!

I can't help spreading the "Scrubs"!

I just finished chatting with a friend who's currently a student nurse in Mindanao. She asked me about some historical site here in Thailand which is not yet too popular so that she could report about it as part of their project in History and Literature. After suggesting some historical sites I found here in Songkhla, I informed her about the new online magazine I discovered which is very indispensable for her- the Scrubs Magazine (Nurse's Guide to Good Living). Unlike other clinical sites where ordinary people felt rather out-of-place because of confusing medical terminology when visiting these sites,Scrubs' site is quite the opposite. It's reader-friendly (caters both nurses and ordinary people), inspiring, uplifting, and timely yet original . You'll find topics or tips about de-stressing mind, health tips, fashion tips, beauty tips and secrets, work behavior, money matters, news and entertainment and even tackles about love issues! She visited and explored the sites and thank me for showing her one of the coolest nurse's sites she ever found!

I can't help telling my friends about this site because I learned a lot from it. One of the things that I become versed and had adapted in my lifestyle is about the Gratitude Walk. The author claimed that rest and regrouping is essential to balance our life and to take charge of our unique stress as a health professional. Part of her own regimen is the gratitude walk- walking while expressing gratitudes in life. I started doing it last week. After coming back at home after class at 4:00 pm, I took a walk with my baby around our neighborhood. Same with the author,I started with the basics like gratitude for being able to walk, talk, use my hands, and being with my family. I acknowledge my fortune that God has allowed me to wake up that morning, the gift of another day, the air I breathe. My thoughts turn to the people in my life and opportunities to learn and grow. I feel tremendous gratitude to have a job in a profession I love.I am amazed every day how much lighter and more empowered I feel by this simple, quick regimen.

Try visiting this site and share to me what tips you find very helpful. See it for yourself!

God inspires me!

Life of a working mom can sometimes be humdrum and wears me down but I thank God that he INSPIRES me! So, instead of complaining, God teaches me to put a smile in my face and a spring in my step. He deserves to be praised for opening my eyes eyes to see how BLESSED I am when I listened to HIM to change my attitude and approach in life! I should be the most enthusiastic person in the world because not only have I got a great future, I have "abundant life" through HIM now!
