I am so glad that I started to receive awards from friends online. I really appreciate these beautiful awards from an amiable friend Mommy Phebie. Thank you so much!
Name 7 things that you love then pass this onto 7 other bloggers:
1. I love my Almighty Father. He's the source of everything.
2. I am always growing in love with my husband. I always thank God for giving me to him.
3. I love my baby- Hyzyd. He adds color to my life. (I love my coming babies...he..he..)
4. I love my big, happy family-my papa and mama (they're the BEST!), and my 13 siblings (their prayers for us move the hand of God to do the things which we can't do). I love you brothers and sisters for loving me and respecting me as your "Ate" (eldest sister). You are our priceless treasures.
5. I love my calling-TEACHING. I love being a blessing to my students.
6. I love my new found hobby-blogging. May my posts be a blessing to the readers.
7. I love my friends here in Thailand and in the Philippines. Your prayer means a lot to us.
I am forever thankful to our Heavenly Father for being there for me no matter what happens, through thick and thin, through good things and bad things, and though I fall and stumble, He is always my everdearest Father and a true friend whom I can rely at all times.
For this week, I especially thank God for the following:
1. One Year Extension of Visa and Work Permit Here in Thailand, we'll renew our visa year after year (Non-Immigrant B visa holder). Everytime I visit the immigration office here in Thailand, I couldn't stop having goose bumps. I had not so good experiences before that I have distasteful anticipation that it will happen again. By God's grace, the application went smooth and successful. I thank God for the accomodating officer that entertained my application and I thank God for the wisdom He gave to our school secretary who prepared all my documents.
2. Free Internet and Telephone Installation We thank God that we had availed the promotion of the TOT Company-free installation of telephone and internet connection. I had great time calling my parents at home in the Philippines and my dearest friend. As for the internet connection, we are thankful that 2 mbps speed is quite affordable these days.
3. New computer Just this afternoon as I'm typing my "thankful list", I received a text message from First Choice that my application is approved and I could get my desired computer. Praise be to God! We're still contemplating though if we'll get a desktop or laptop.
For my co-entrants of today's meme, I'm sorry I couldn't visit you today. I'll visit you later on because I'll go get my God-given computer. Thank you for your prayers.
My brother introduced the song "Who Am I?" by Casting Crowns, during the fourth Anniversary of the church where we fellowship. We have a special number and we decided that my brother will sing the song while we interpret the song through dance. Eversince that time, it became my favorite song.
Everytime I sing this song or hear this song I feel like I wanna cry. It always reminds me of God's faithfulness and goodness throughout my life. It reminds me who I am before His sight- I am His precious creation and no one can take me away from His love.
The song is an inspiration to me. Though the truth is that I am worthless before, Jesus Christ makes me worth something today. I do not deserve anything but because of "Who He is" and because of "what He has done", I am saved. I pray that we all live a life full of love for God and for other people. For sure we'll see each other in heaven...
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.I am yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.I am yours.I am yours.
Whom shall I fear?Whom shall I fear?'Thy I am yours.I am yours.
I have mentioned in one of my posts that I started blogging just three months ago during my free time (usually after lunch) and made the most of it when we had a week "break time" as our students had their Thai Test. That's why I'm offline during Saturdays and Sundays.
Our Thai friend (who was my English coordinator before)lend us her desktop because she wanted me to help her finish her Thesis. We're glad with that offer and decided to apply for internet connection. Unfortunately, her CPU broke down before I could even touch my fingers on its keyboard. It's actually kinda old and she haven't used it for a very long time.
What are we going to do now? We applied for internet connection without a computer. What a joke! Anyway, I believe that "everything works together for good to them who love God and are called to His purpose". We've been praying for a computer and maybe it's now time to acquire one. It's also indispensable for us (as teachers)to own a computer for our research, making lesson plans, making worksheets , flashcards and a lot more! To add on, to continue my new-found hobby- the blogging!
I applied for a "convenient purchasing"plan at one of the leading stores of computer here in Hatyai. Hopefully, we're able to get our new desktop computer tomorrow (I couldn't help whispering "Thank you Lord"). The internet connection is actually waiting for the dc...he..he..We're so glad that we availed our internet connection as well as our telephone installation all for FREE. This promotion will end on April.
To all my friends out here, thank you so much for visiting my blog, reading my posts and leaving messages and comments. These are all appreciated. Once, I'm online I'll spend time visiting you too.
