This is Me.

Dear readers,

My name is #ara (Screen Name ko lang to). This is my testimony kung paano ko inaccept si Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord. I’m currently 4th year college at nag-aaral sa Christian Colleges of Southeast Asia (CCSA). I'm 19 yrs of age and I have no boyfriend 5 yrs. Ago... Why ? Nung akoy 1st yr. HS, may nanligaw sa akin na 2nd yr. HS, itago nlng natin sa pangalang #J. Ang totoo di ko nman sya crush pero sinagot ko sya hanggang sa na inlove na ako ... Nagtagal ang aming relationship ng 2 yrs. & 6 months. Bakit hanggang dun lang? Kasi naman. May nakilala akong nagpapatibok ng puso ko at yun ay si JESUS CHRIST.. Noon, sumali ako sa isang clan naging rampant kasi ang mga clans nung panahong yun, hindi ko namalayan na may isang Christian pala na sumali sa clan namin at ininvite nya kami kasi may gusto lang syang ishare samin. Pumayag nman ako.. Kasama ko yung friend at naging classmate ko rin si #JC.  

Natandaan ko pa kung anong na share ni Kuya  #L sa amin.. It’s about Salvation. Kahit na kami ay isang catholic but because of that Word it touches my heart. April 27,2012 we receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Syempre, may boyfriend pa ako nun at akoy inlove sa kanya. Kahit na how many times he broke my heart because of another woman but still I forgive him (Martir martiran kung baga). I met another guy na nag conduct ng BIBLESTUDY sa school namin, he was our classmates and itago natin ang name nya as  #K. Sumali kami sa kanya at mga ibang classmate ko at may ininvite si #JC na girl para sumali , at sumali nga si #NR. Hanggang sa na equip kami at marami naring natunan. Ininvite kami ni #K sa church Jerome R.Castillo. Advantage sa akin kasi malapit lang yung Church na sinabi nya. One time, yung boyfriend ko ay nagtampo sa akin kasi wala na daw akong time sa kanya parati nlng daw sa church. Hanggang sa may nangyari sa akin, addicted kasi ako sa mga maaasim na pagkain (specifically Mangga) till nagkaron ako ng U.T.I at kailangan talgang dalhin ako sa ospital kasi palagi akong nagsusuka. 

Nang magaling na ako, hindi ko naman inaasahan na babalik ako ulit sa ospital. That time I ask God why I need to suffer this kind of pain. I started to ask forgiveness to God then after that I commited myself to Serve Him only and I promised to that I will break up my boyfriend so that I will not go back anymore to that ospital. After that, i really do what i said to God. So i break up with him. It really hurts. That night i pray to God that tomorrow my love for him will be faint. Because its not love, I believe that it’s just an infatuation. True love must not be in hurry. Alam nyo, amazing masyado si Lord dahil totoo nga, one day lng yun at nawala nga ung pagka inlove ko sa kanya.. Nandidiri ako sa mga pangyayari nang naging kami . Kahit na parati kami ngkikita sa school hndi ko na sya pinapansin at akoy lumalayo na talaga. No communication at all. Masaya ako kasi tinupad din ng Dios na hndi na ako babalik pa sa ospital na yun. But I’m not mad to that person since he has been part of testimony. As a Christian, I just prayed for him that he’ll be able to know God too.

Well, I think hanggang dito lang muna yung ma shishare ko sa inyo. God bless!

From the Inside Out - Hillsong

To all the girls waiting for the right guy

Girl, I know it’s hard to wait. I know it’s so hard to face rejection after rejection, the fear of never finding the right guy. But the right guy is worth waiting for. Stop settling for guys who don’t wholeheartedly follow Jesus. Stop dating guys who are “good” but do not follow Jesus, who do not bring you closer to Him.

If a guy doesn’t follow Jesus, he cannot love you right.

He can treat you great but if he has no desire to grow closer to Jesus, he won’t be good to you in the long run. If he doesn’t believe in Jesus, you should not be dating him at all. Yes, he might be okay with you being a believer but if he is not, he will not be able to encourage you or challenge your or call you out when you sin. He might be okay with your faith now but he will also be okay with your sin. You don’t want that. You want someone who challenges you to correct your ways. Someone who reads the Bible with you, grows closer to Jesus with you and prays with and for you.

If you find yourself saying “I know he’s not (perfect/patient/humble/faithful/growing closer to Jesus) right now but it will get better” – please, don’t believe yourself. You are worth more than that. You are worthy of a guy who honors you and respects you above all else. You are worthy of a guy who will challenge himself to become better so that he can love you right right now, not in the future.

Because you will do just the same for the right guy. You will see your flaws and you will want to grow, become better so that you will love him rightly. You will give him your heart, your time, your everything – just to be with him and to make him happy.

You were not created to be married, you were created to honor Jesus and to fellowship with Him. Girl, singleness is not a curse. You are not single because God doesn’t love your or because He is punishing you. So it might be that it will take weeks, months or years before the right guy comes along – because God wants to use you as you are right now for His glory. Don’t rush the process. See what God has for you in this season of singleness and make the most of serving Him, as you have freedom with your life right now. You can do amazing things, and you do not need a guy to do all that.

It’s one thing to come to God because you have a need. It’s another thing to know that your real need is knowing Him.
