Basta May Alak

"Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls.

Those led astray by drink cannot be wise." -- Proverbs 20:1 NLT

Teka muna miss eh wag ka nang sumama

sinisigurado kong ika'y mapapahamak

basta may alak, may balak

pag may alak, may balak

Teka muna miss eh wag ka nang sumama

Pagkatapos ng gabing nato'y madadala ka

basta may alak, may balak

pag may alak, may balak

Teka lang miss ayokong

magmintis sayo ng payo

kaya mag-ingat ka sana please lalo

na kapag ikaw ay dayo

Malamang ay empi yan with pambanlaw ng red horse

pulutang one to sawa chicha kahit anong flavors

you're the main flower sa mga bubuyog

paglasing ka na mabibilis yan nako magsitusok

Kasama mo ay malibog pupwesto kahit sa kumot

plantsado mong damit bukas puno na yan ng lukot

kaya makinig ka samin at matulog ng maaga

kung ayaw mong pagka-birhen mo ay mapa-aga

Kaya pag may alak ay may balak

wag kang sasama kinabukasan, pagdilat,

magulat ka bra mo ay wala na

Teka muna miss, wag ka nang sumama

Inumang mag-damag na abot hanggang umaga

Daig pa ang gayumang tatama sa kanila

Kaya please lang mag-isip-isip ka muna

"It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble." -- Romans 14:21

BIGGEST LIE

CTTO: Christian Today

Most of us would say, "Unya nalang ko mag simba or mag basa og bibliya pag tigulang nako. Bata pa man ko. Daghan pa time." TAMA? Unya nalang ka mag seryoso sa Ginoo kanang tigulang naka. Pero wala naman ka kaayo mabuhat ana kay tigulang naka.

[Ecclesiastes 12:1-7]
Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.” 2 Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky. 3 Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly.

4 Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint.

5 Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry about danger in the streets; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caperberry no longer inspires sexual desire. Remember him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral.

6 Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. 7 For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

The Pain of Discipline

Continuing my journey as a Christian, there are several things in my life that God is breaking me to make me whole, and I know there's more.

I still don't know how, and I don't know where God will truly use me in my walk with Him. But one thing's for sure, He won't stop until I am cleansed, and whole again.

Just recently, I felt that I am going to a nervous breakdown. I lost the fire for the lost souls. I am paying for bills I know that will eat up my hard-earned salary, and pressured being a Christian. I couldn't quite place where God is exactly directing my life. I was a walking time bomb.

One Sunday, I did not attend church in the morning, and I did not join our weekly Leader's meeting. I felt fed up. At that time, there was no water so after my shift ended, I slept for an hour, and then asked my best friend to let me go to her house so I can take a bath. The plan to go to church was canceled by me, and I just stayed at my best friend's house.

I eventually went to church in the evening. And I found out something, which I got angry with. I acted foolishly. Several Facebook posts hurt my leaders, and my position as a leader. I just felt fed up.

But God acted, and gave me a warning through my devotional. I calmed down. I faced the discipline from my leaders. I had to embrace the pain of the discipline. I need it. God is breaking me, and He is teaching me. I asked for forgiveness from my leaders.

I was told that it was a good thing, what happened. I faced the hard truth, and dealt with it well. They said that there were worst case scenarios than what happened with me. But I thank my leaders, and my former cell leader for letting me know that it's okay not to be okay. Below is my devotional before I talked to my leaders.

True, being a Christian is not a walk in the park. There are a lot who will expect a lot from me, and judge every action I do, every word I say. But I want to continue to pray to God to help me with the hurdles, because I cannot survive on my own. I do feel empty, sometimes. But what I can assure you is that, when God talks to you, you will feel peace. I felt peace when I did my devotional, knowing that God has my back. And so I had to back down. I let God discipline me through my leaders.

I want to thank my leaders, Tatz & Nanay, and my former cell leader, Erika for allowing me to have a time out. I want to thank my friends: Jade, for her encouragement and just being a friend.. Meek, for her generosity, and advises.. Van, for not stopping to reach out and be a friend to me. To my Tita Merlyn, who will not allow me to go astray, and gives me a scolding (I know she will when I share to her something).. To Agnel, who just stayed by my side at the time that I felt sad, and despair.. Your prayers, and understanding are greatly appreciated.

Most of all, I want to thank my Lord & Savior, my friend.. I am nothing without You. Thank you for the love, the grace, and your mercy. My life is not my own, to you I belong.
