Question number 1 to God and His Answer

Have you ever thought of questioning God when you die?
Well, for me, I have a series of questions for God...

and this is my first question I thought just recently while watching video documentaries about excavations of the dead sea scrolls and the proofs of God or Jesus' existence in this world

Why did Jesus leave the world without leaving behind any traces of existence like a handprint or the cross or anything that would blatantly tell the researchers and excavators "Jesus wuz here!!"?

And lo and behold, he did have an answer while I was watching... come to think of it, He did have a point...

"I have left many traces for all mankind to see and believe but they did not believed. I have performed miracles and they did not believed. I taught and told the people about my existence and they rejected it. I have my disciples wrote it in a book and they didn't read it. Even if I leave many marks or even if the cross where I was hung was preserved and kept inside any structure, if the person does not want to believe then he will not. Again I say to you, blessed are those who believes but does not see."

Yep, that's what He said... So I have come to believed... and these excavations will just be back-ups for my belief. Why? Because I know I have personally met Christ...

and it didn't even need a sort-of "time-travelling" device to meet Him...

I just do hope for us next generation disciples, we can share this experience and spread the original proof the 1st apostles told us... "I have seen the Lord... We have seen the Lord"

Operation: Second Flight

You may ask "Why second flight? Why not first?"
For me, this is my "re-awakening".

My first flight is when I was born.
This is my second, when you have the feeling that you are starting to find that very thing, that very mission that you are supposed to be doing.

And although I could just see it from afar, and somehow blurred, I could now see it like I could say "There's land!! Captain!! We found a land!!" after searching through the high seas.

This is my second flight. The second start of my life. A life of service to God and to men. This Good Friday was indeed good... because it dawned on me what my mission in life is.

Oh how enriching it is as I constantly update myself and learn about the needed teachings thanks to Bo and his online community Kerygma Family and his daily reality TV show Preacher in Blue Jeans

Oh how good it is to feel the blessings of God as I kissed the cross saying, "Thank you Lord for choosing me again as your servant..."

And the last push was the song composed by Christine in her video blog, it really inspired me.

It has started, and before I finish this entry I want to share with you what my percieved mission in life is...

I quote the Vision statement of a ministry that I am a member of and very, very proud of, The Bukas Loob sa Diyos Youth Ministry San Pablo District, as one of the basis for my own mission in life:

"Let no one look down on you because of your youth, but be a continuing example of love, faith and purity to believers..." - 1 Tim 4:12

Now my mission:
"To be a loving person to others, showing and teaching the world especially the youth what True Love is through my profession, actions, works, and life..."

I do hope we could help each other in reaching this mission and your mission also. Pray for me as I pray for you so that we could glorify the Name that has given us so much blessings and the Creator of all, our Lord, our King, our God, Jesus Christ.

Operation: Second Flight

Not today...

I guess I have to write my thoughts…
“Text me later if you need comfort…”
yeah right… as if I need one…
Ok pride sets in and there’s nothing else to do but swallow it…

And as Aramaki said in the first episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, 2nd Gig series, “Besides there’s never been a recorded case of anyone developing stomach trouble after swallowing their pride.”

I don’t know what I’ll write today…
Not much as compared to what I’ve seen and thought about in this past few weeks I guess…

As for me, reality slaps me hard in my face today.
Really hard that although it doesn’t hurt, I can sense my whole self being shaken by that reality. I was caught off-guard by it…

I feel peace but not happiness. But although I don’t feel happiness, I don’t feel sadness either.

The truth that was pushed to me point blank was that… I will never have what I want today YET what I really wanted for me as of now.
And so it seems… I keep on consciously avoiding the very thing that I wanted because I know I am not ready yet to have it… But unconsciously I keep on reminding myself that I need it…

Afraid to do the same mistakes again perhaps? Or is it that I’m really not ready yet? I don’t know…

Maybe things will change… or not… or maybe it’s just again another vision of the real things that might happen… a window to the future perhaps? A possible flawed mirror of the real thing that will be for me in the near… or far future… only God knows…

What I know is… it’s not yet time… Kairos hasn’t fulfilled its full potential…

Nevertheless… have to get myself ready for that someone… I know she may be flawed also, but I know she is still being prepared for me… May it be that I already knew her all along or not… or just that I knew someone that would be a mirror to another that will come along my way… I know that in time… in His time… we’ll meet each other…

Knowing our real purpose in life… which is to both serve Him together as one…

Anyway… again I’ll try to return to my stable self again… remembering that day reality caught me off-guard… trying to say to myself… “Hey kid, be patient… You’ll get what you want but not today my son… not today…”
