Happy Birthday Mama!


In her stern rebukes I’ve realized my mistakes,
Her instructions have been my wise counsels;
In her service I’ve found love no matter what it takes,
No one can be compared with a heaven-sent angel

She can never fake her laughs, so when she does,
You’ll always know it is true.
She might have strict looks but when she smiles,
She really is beautiful, that’s for sure.

She does her chores with a happy heart,
So when she cleans or cooks, it’s always the best
Everything is done in her own wonderful art:
In case the Heavenly Master should put her to test.


She is the strongest woman I know
For when the whole family is weak, she stands up for all.
But the secret is not her own,
I have found out that her strength is the Lord.

When she cries, I cannot help but be broken inside
Because I rarely see her weak and cry.
 That’s when I realize she also has limitations
And this is her point when it’s only God who can answer her questions.

When friendships discourage me, I turn to her.
When I fail academically, I go to her.
When I am confused, I ask her.
When I need counsel, I listen to her.
When I have unending stories, she listens to me.
When I am sick, she cares for me.
When I achieved something, she is so proud of me.
When I do just even small things for her, she is so grateful to me.

She has just turned forty, and they said that life begins here,
But I believe that her life started when she met Jesus
And she has never been the same again.
I am just so thankful to the Lord for such a wonderful mother she has given me.
Her selfless love is a proof of the great love we receive from our Heavenly Father.
Happy Birthday Mama!

AUP 87.8 Student FM: LIFE Radio

While writing this, I am also at the same time listening to our campus student radio. We have this segment in this radio, Dear Pastor where students can share their Bible questions or share their life stories and ask for advices. The pastors will be answering the questions through the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy.
I am personally blessed with this program. Most especially with my situation now. The question for today's episode is, "Why is life so unfair?"
It's funny how I find this blog now my shock absorber. Every time I feel lonely and heartbroken, I go here and write. Maybe this is how I really find comfort, through writing.
And I also found comfort through the radio ministry. The pastor said, it's all about changing our perspective. We still live in a sinful world, but amidst all this, the Lord still blesses and lets the sun shine to us. He quoted a verse from a song which says, "There's a dark and troubled side life, but there is a sunny side too." He also shared the Bible verse found in Romans 12:2. "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will."
And the last words he quoted is, "In this world, it is not a life full of chances, it is a life of full of choices."


I am honestly confused now. I have made choices that caused not only my pain but also to another person. It is heartbreaking that every message I hear feels like directly addressed to me. Even with the episode today of our radio program, the simplest quotation can never be belittled to someone who is in a challenging situation like I am. It's truly comforting. Knowing that it is God's way of reaching out to me.


"He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." -Psalms 147:3
