My IDEA of CHRISTMAS!!!

It's Christmas!!!, a time of giving, sharing, loving and many more posotive action and thoughts that you can think og... but above all it simply reminds us of on specific person.. and tha's our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hmmm... does christmas season includes hatred, bitterness, betrayal, gosips, and being judgementa???

Let's try to imagine...

Imagine a Christmas with these situations; (Family, friends, etc... doesn't necessarily means that they're related to me)

• A TRUSTED friend betrayed you, much more that friend insinuates gossips --- to destroy you
• A family member, maybe a brother, that wouldn't fight for you, maybe because he treats you as his rival, not knowing that he himself neglects his own duties and responsibilities
• A family that puts on a wrong judgement with who you are and what you have become
• A friend that makes the world around you, turns its back from you
• A family member and a friend who are insenitive and doesn't understand you...

Imagine a Christmas having these kinds of burdens.. what will you do???

On a positive note:

Above all these situations, you are still bless to have thee kind of people to back you up...

• True brother to defend you
• A distant relative having a time to liostend and also gives you the best advices that he can give
• Friends who truly knows your potentials and with wha you can do to them.. they really know you!!!
• Family member who have their own sense of responsibility
• Family member who truly understands the words... LOYALTY, FORGIVENES, FRIENDSHIP, TRUE LEADERSHIP, and COMPASSION

Oh well, these things are jut my idea of a happy Christmas... How bout you???

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

Repentance and Forgiveness

Last Wednesday, I had an UBE time with one of the worship leaders... One of the many things that he told me is the idea of forgiveness... which led me and my brothers to have a smallgroup session later that night... it was around 9pm @ yoshinoya when I,chin, aeron, nimrod, matt, and danish began our small group session (thinking about what the worship leader had told me... take responsibility) ... and so we did... we talked about repentance and forgiveness... going back to chapters 3 and 4 of the one2one booklet... well, basically its one of the main issues that we have to make actions... we started the session by asking two questions... who would you want to ask forgiveness and who would you want to forgive... the good thing was, it turned out OK... we all decided to do what we have talked about... to forgive and not to condemn other people.. to ask forgiveness and not to use pride as our defense mechanism...
