Signs

Now that Egypt has fallen, it's only a matter of time before 'nice' & western-friendly Arab nations like Jordan & Saudi Arabia fall into the hands of the Islamic radicals... If you're wondering who the Islamic radicals are, they are the Muslims (terrorists & supporters) who wish to annihilate Israel & others who refuse to submit to Allah's will... In other words, those people whom they call infidels (us who are not Muslims)... This may not seem logical to you as of now, but I'm pretty sure that Jesus' Second Coming is at hand as the Muslims' intensity to destroy the Jews & the worlds' push for a one world system (governance & religion) is getting stronger day by day... The signs are already laden out to us in the Bible & we can clearly see it now in the world... The question for you is: do you even care about what's happening around you or are you too preoccupied in coping with your everyday life that you fail to see the prophecies & signs being fulfilled before your very eyes in this generation?

OH MY DARLING….

(the Darling of my heart)
 
Prior to this, I was in deep thinking what I should give my Darling. Then, her lists of possible gifts on her blog gave me some idea. However, I’m not a woman of words. I’m afraid she won’t appreciate if I would write a poem or a blog post for her. But as I have known her, she isn’t a type that would refuse and reject gifts although she’s frank when it comes to things she doesn’t like. Well, I believe there is no harm in trying. So now, here am I doing my very best to put up the right words to describe my DEAR DARLING. Hope she likes it. J
 
Who Auraluz Durano Banci Is…(in my own point of view)
 
1.a prophetic sister in Christ (she’s so much interested in prophecies. She is a collector of prophetic books and magazines)
 
2.a cheerful companion (when you’re with her you’re surely far from boredom
unless she isn’t feeling well or has some serious problem)
 
3.an energetic talker (I’m not sure how many words my Darling can utter in a
minute but I assure she  you is a fast talker but usually she talks with sense)
 
4.a sweet buddy (there are times when she will approach you, hug you and would
ask some favor. For me that part of her is so sweet)
 
5.a loving daughter (it’s not a question that she loves her family)
 
6.a dreamer of many things? (imaginative as she is, she can make you fly into a
world unknown with her words)
 
7.a caring sister of Luke (if there is one thing that would trouble her and make her
worry, it is definitely her brother.)
 
8.someone one can easily approach in times of trouble (people knew her as a     cheerful lady but when her friend needs her but would weep for those who weep)
 
9.a match-maker (it’s her hobby to find  potential lovers to her friends according to her standards.)
 
10.an encourager and an exhorter (I’m a product of her encouragements and exhortations)
 
11.very appreciative (she always appreciates things and people truthfully.
Though I still can’t believe her when she would tell me I am pretty. Nevertheless,
I know she isn’t joking when she says that. Thanks, darling!)
 
12.a Bible woman (She believes the Word of God and patterns her life to “What the
Bible says”)
 
13.responsible and trustworthy (it’s amazing to know that in her young age, she is able to take care of so many responsibilities at home and in school plus church)
 
14.a shoulder to cry on (but she won’t cry with you because she doesn’t easily cry.
However, she will listen to whatever sentiments you have)
 
As My Darling:
 
1.She is a REVEALATOR (one time, she pulled my pants and saw my undie. Good thing she is the only one who saw it. After that, I don’t know how react. I was caught off-guard! I was helpless! Justice for me!!! hehehe)
 
2.She is a KINGKOY (she often teases me and I don’t know why I would laugh at her jokes instead of getting mad and disappointed. I enjoy her friendship so much. Whenever I have a problem and would tell her about it, expected I’ll be laughing at the end of the conversation)
 
3.She is a BLESSING (countless times and opportunities, God used her in many ways to bless me.)
 
4.She is a GIVER (she has given me a lot of books and other stuffs. But most importantly, she gives me love and care which is far more valuable than gold.)
 
5.She is a CALLER (for the record, Darling is the ONLY friend of mine who would always call me and share different stories, prophecies and new discoveries especially with regards  to the Word of God)
 
6.She is a PHOTOGRAPHER (as an expert in capturing stolen shots, I’m one of her victims. She usually takes funny photos of me. And she makes it/me a laughing stuff. Hahaha.)
 
7.She is my HAIR STYLIST (she loves to make fun of my curly hair and wants me to “lugay” it. In submission, I would let her do anything of my hair even allowing her to experiment on it. Then, she would take a picture of me with different hairstyle.
 
8.She is my STOCKING ENEMY (If I’m a stocking I would not befriend her because it’s her vice to take my stockings and expose my not-so-flawless skin. She would roll it make is something like a sock and would laugh aloud- making fun of me)
 
9.She is my PONYTAIL SNATCHER (Since she love to see me “lugay” my hair, she often snatches my ponytail and threatens not to give it back. I’m used to it but sometimes I loose my patience and surrender)
 
10.She is to me my ONE AND ONLY DARLING (Why is she my darling? Simply because she is my darling. It would not change even if time, distance and circumstances separate us)
 
It is highly evident that our bonding moments are fun-filled. Maybe because she isn’t a serious type. But it is one thing that makes our friendship different and worth reminiscing. For me, my Darling is my Darling not because of who she is or what she has but because God destined us to be DARLINGS… We’ve been together for quite sometime already but I know I still have to know her more.  And I praise and thank the Lord for completing my life and journey with her.
 
            Did I miss something? For sure I do. I believe the above-mentioned characteristics and descriptions of her are but a glimpse of her whole being and personality. Definitely, Darling is someone indescribable and incomparable because God made her unique and different from all His creation. If there is someone who knows her best, that is her Creator and Heavenly Father. There is no other Auraluz Banci in the world and that is for certain. Truly, she deserves to be treasured, cherished, loved and cared for. Above all, no matter how people would describe her, I know that in the eyes of God, she is His precious child and worth the blood, His Son Jesus has shed on the cross of Calvary.
 
God’s message for my Darling:
Isaiah 43:1 “…thou art mine.”
 
 
My message for Darling:
Someone told me this and I quote, “To say ‘I Love You’ is an understatement”

Souls

Today is the Sinulog. I really pity those people who believe in a god who is of the devil. Many people, if not millions, are so misled by a false god & a false doctrine that it's overwhelming how this verse is so true.
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."     Matthew 7:13-14 KJV
Us, children of God, have the responsibility to share to these people that are so lost WHO the REAL God is. I'm distressed by a post I read from one of my professors. She's a very intelligent & gifted teacher. She's an achiever, too. Her devotion to that small statue is so heartwarming just like how we, true Christians, ought to be. The problem with her faith is that she's in the wrong. Her belief is very far from the truth of God's Word. I am distressed by her faith. I feel burdened since I know that she will end up in hell if she doesn't come to know the REAL, AUTHENTIC, TRUE Jesus Christ. Many of my friends believe in that statue just like my teacher does. Little do they know that they are heading towards destruction. The Christian world should pray for these souls, individually & as a group. I have this burning desire in me to share to my closest friends about the TRUE WAY, who happens to be the TRUE Jesus declared by the Scriptures.

Those people joining in the festivities right now are so pitiful. They are misguided by their priests. My heart is grieving for them. I'm very sure that God is in grief & anguish due to their idolatry. I know I'm also a sinner. I'm also guilty of idolatry despite not believing in that image. But, I know that Jesus died for me. God gifted me with the faith in His only begotten Son. How about those millions of people worshiping statues of 'saints'? God cares for them, too. So I know that I should care for them. Their souls are of utmost importance. Perhaps your parents, friends, loved ones & the people around you are blinded from the truth. We share the same desire to minister unto them, to tell them about Jesus. Will we just idly watch while we know that they're going to end up in hell? Of course not! So what are we going to do about it?

Please give some suggestions below in the comments section. I'll be waiting for your replies.

A Review of 2010

This year has been a no joke for us, Blessed Singleness. Issue after issue came up like there's no tomorrow. But, God's work among us is still clearly seen. August 27, 2010 is forever etched in my heart as the day when we got married to each other. That day/night, I felt a strange thread connecting us. I can't explain yet what it is though & I'm not even sure if you felt it, too. I know, until now, there are issues left unsolved but I'm sure, in God's own time, everything will fall into place. Honestly, I don't understand why we need to suffer as a group. However, I do understand that God has a purpose why He allows us to suffer like this. For now, I can't see its relevance in my life today but I'm positive that in the next years ahead, the learning I acquired from all the challenges we faced & will be facing will become handy especially when our inevitable separation loom closer.

I've learned so many things from my depression the last 2 months. I know that during the process, I unintentionally hurt some of you if not all. I'm still healing & I'm not quite sure if the 2-week vacation was enough to abate my anger & frustration. I guess it greatly helped & so did the books I read & am reading this moment. By God's grace, I did not feel the loneliness I felt during the second half of 2010. I'm thankful for that because if I still felt lonely this December, I don't know what I'll become with the Blessed Singleness.

This would be all for tonight. I just posted for the last time here in our blog for this year. God bless all of us in God's family!!!!!=D

The Clock Ticks

 

To start off, I’d like to share a quotation I once read in a novel. It’s pretty simple though but it caught me. “Time turns friends into strangers.”
I would not dare hide what I feel in words so deep but I would make it simple for the one who is reading this. I guess now is the time I express my writings in a way a bit friendly to the readers. So here it goes...
A vessel recorded. It’s Saturday afternoon, I was reading a notebook. Well it’s not typically just a notebook, it’s sort of a mixed journal, diary and art notes.  Written inside those pages is the world I used to be and forever will be. Hidden in every detailed drawing and poems is a being of my every dark corners. Every turn of the pages reveal a part of my history. It’s a remedy and a reminder of the person that I am today. Why I decided to revisit the notebook again? I don’t know. I guess I have to see for myself the changes of the vessel that journeyed from its port up to the heart of the wide ocean. Just by seeing it partly though, it still needs a crew to stop its leaks. That is what I’m bound to face.
Life as it is, full of mystery. Every lightning is unpredictable. You’ll never know where it will strike not until it has fallen. Every smile is remarkable. You’ll never know what it means not unless uttered by the mouth. Every person’s foible is questionable. You’ll never know if he’s a coward not until he proves something. A person has his ways of showing and letting others know how he feels. “To understand any living thing you must creep within and feel the beating of its heart.” Giving your all and adjusting for others even losing your pride is love. Love acts in an enigmatic way. It makes the heart either soft or rough. It’s like a fire that melts butter and the same fire that hardens steel.
”The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.” There’s always a reason and a purpose unfolding in every decorated gift. Would it be nice to have a friend as a present? For me it’s quite fair especially if they’re different from the others. A friend is always a friend. But I guess it does not apply to all. When time hinders, then things change. Would a smile be something special if it comes to the unknown, or would a touch mean it cares not unless you think so? Now that I come to think of it, it doesn’t mean anything to a stranger at all.  That is definitely a sad ending to a story of a six-sided star shining among the others.  When a star dies it turns into a black hole, attracting the positive into negative. Definitely supernatural to think that it would come back and live again as a glittering star. Thus, it is mysteriously given and unexpectedly taken. Why of all the enemies to stand together in fate and time, the latter itself turned its back?
How is it then? How to stop the time? How to avoid the gap that’s beginning to grow in the innermost core of the heart? Or is it really the time? What then or who is to be blame? Why is it that the gold is always to be expected when the silver lining is slowly missing? Why does rejection always threatening when hope and trust coincide? Is it still there or is it broken? Is there a wall trying to hinder? Is it made out of selfishness from one or from all? Isn’t it better to start with positive anything than negative nothing? What now? Is it all gone and wasted? What’s a friend now? What’s the purpose then? How is it that one can change into something special because of being a friend? Is it then an advantage to have many for lessons to learn or a disadvantage for feeling a deadly pain that’s doubled and twice as many times? Now that’s redundant but definitely true. When will I stop asking? How about you answer the questions? Guess not.
The clock ticks. Days are now long gone, and years come passing by. What’s left of us then? Time will pass and I hope that love will still remain. When one is hungry, feed him with food. When one is thirsty, suffice him with water. When one lacks communication, what to do? Nothing is much wonderful when we get used to it. If holding grudges is your cup of tea, well not for all. No matter how hard you shun away from the darkness of the night, you’ll never get away. Why? You’ll never see the light of the day not unless you’ll get through the night. Oi!!! The clock ticks, it’s time for awakening. The clock ticks, it’s time for acceptance. The clock ticks, it’s time to choose your art. What art? You have options.  It’s either you choose the art of reconciling or the art of letting go.  Choose now, not before the clock stops ticking.

Ange's 2nd blog. :)

Hello! It's me, Aura. This is supposed to be Ange's turf but she posted in the wrong blog again. Apparently, she made a poem about us, the Blessed Singleness. You can see her post here in this link: Ange's Blog

You have to read her poem. It's marvelous!

New Group:New Look

This turn is supposed to be Juvy's. Since she has not found the inspiration to write yet, I'll just make an entry for the month of August. It's almost a month since the last post by Jessreal and it's high time for a fresh content. Hopefully, Juvy can write or post next week.

As you can see, the design changed. You may be wondering why it was changed. The reason for that is because we agreed to modify the look because we have become a new group. Don't misunderstand. We didn't separate or add members. This new group I'm talking came about last Friday, August 27, 2010. We were undergoing some distressful, painful, mind-boggling, and dangerous situations where in we nearly gave in. We know that Satan is trying to separate us. I hate to admit it but he almost succeeded if God did not intervene. It's so true that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. We've been praying very hard individually for everything to be fixed and it took a month or two before our prayers were answered. During that time, I was at a loss on how to deal with the situation unfolding right before my eyes. I don't know about how the others coped but what I do know is that the problem was so complicated that we have different issues and perspectives. We were hurt but the pain we were experiencing were different. We do try to understand each other but it came to the point where we were already at wits end. However, God is so amazing and wonderful, majestic and so powerful, that He didn't allow us to break apart. We were at the breaking point. A trial by fire in other words and we succeeded in facing it because of His help. It's very true that what God has joined let not any man separate. God was the one who made us. He was the one who nurtured our group. And, He is the one who continues to care for our group. He is not just our God, but our Father. We are a family, a part of God's kingdom.

Now, I can say that we are very blessed with the outcome. Through that circumstance, I realized that I can't live without God and without my family in Christ. Right now, my first love is God and my 2nd love is my family in Christ, the Blessed Singleness. They are deeply rooted in my heart that I don't know how they got there.

God bless the Blessed Singleness! God loves us so much and we love Him very much, too! Furthermore, we love each other so much that it hurts. =D. Through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, as death do us part, 'till we meet again in heaven...♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mwah! I love you, Sis Oreo, Sis Juvy, Sis Ange, Darling Sis and Sis Janine....

"I MISS THEM"




Looking at their pictures makes my heart bleed

Looking at their pictures makes my heart bleed. I cried then smiled. I MISS THEM so much. Sometimes I wonder what they are probably doing while I am here crying and longing for their hugs and kisses. Maybe, they are also thinking of me. For sure they are. I could still remember those times when we used to laugh and eat together in our used-to-be called home. My Nanay would always go to my room and tell her heartaches. We cry together and sing songs for the Lord. How I miss those moments. A day would not end without Tatay telling us to be wise in dealing with life. He would reprimand us if it is necessary. Manong tickles me to the bones and gives me some hard punches. Those are my Manong’s way of telling me he cares and loves me. Often, our playtime would end into crying time. Those were unforgettable moments. Now, I can hardly listen to their voices, see them smile and touch them. When the day is over, everyone is gone, and everything is finished, I always find myself thinking and dreaming about them. Tears would then roll down my cheeks unnoticed and I just can’t stop myself but sob. Reminiscing those happy moments are just painful.

However, I still praise the Lord for giving me a family in school (Blessed Singleness and other friends) that never treats me as a stranger but with arms open wide welcomes me as part of their lives. Although sometimes we encounter misunderstandings and from time to time I get disappointed because of them, never did they make me feel I’m not loved. Every single moment with them are so worthwhile that I can’t imagine life without them. Together, we learn things with fun. The Lord also gave me this family in Sudlon. I don’t see them often as I used to before but we have this connection that only God knows what. Whenever I visit them, happiness would fill my heart. There are people who suddenly come into my life and encourage me all the way. My family in church (Bible Baptist Church) encourages me whenever my heart grows weary. What a privilege it is to have these great people! Though I don’t have my family with me, God gave me these families who give me strength and inspiration.


I admit it. I don’t have the talents others have, if we talk about “beauty and brains” I also don’t have it (by the way, it’s ONLY Darling who always tells me I’m beautiful because I inherit it from her=), a perfect family I have none and I don’t have an earthly home. Nevertheless, I thank God for giving me enough. Enough friends whom I can simply share my problems with, enough people who really cares about me, and a Heavenly Father who is more than enough. Indeed, they are my treasures. Life with them is simply amazing! Now, when I think of them, I can’t help myself but smile because if people would ask me about my family, I could tell them “I have enough”.


Mark 10:28-30

28Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee (Jesus).

29And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,

30But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.


" I would like to apologize to my sisters in Christ and my darling for the delay. It's just that I don't know what to write at first. Thank you for your encouragements. I love you all."
"To GOD Be the Glory"

BLESSED SINGLENESS

A few days earlier, i was lying in my bed with the word 'BLOG' running through my head.
"blog,blog,blog,bloooooooog!!!!!!..."
what's blog anyway?i haven't tried making one before..
i was thinking why am i going to make one?
i mean why should i when im not fond of sharing my thoughts and neither am i a good writer?
then suddenly BLESSED SINGLENESS popped out into my mind...


I would not deny that way back in my highschool days, i also have a group of friends or barkada.
Having the initial letters of our names, we used to call our group 'MARCJV'.
They were the friends which my world evolved around back in highschool, it's always boring without them.
However,what strikes me most is that everytime i linger a memory about them,
i always feel pain.
Pain of being neglected,pain of being used,pain of being judged,it's the pain for being real.
So when i left Bohol for college, i also left the memory of my highschool years full of undying heartaches.


As i entered college, there i met my wonderful,amazing,superb, magnanimous,splendid sisters in Christ namely Jessreal,Juvy,Jeremy,Luz and Angie.(hehehehe)
And we are the BLESSED SINGLENESS!!!
(funny how i used to call us the 'SINGLE BLESSEDNESS')
but all the same we have a genuine gift of pulchritude.(.!_!.)
So if i were to ask, there are no words to express how much i feel about this group.
All i know is that when i am with them, i need not to be somebody else.
I need not to put expensive jewelries or wear one of the finest dress
for them to love me as a whole being.. And me being a rose,
they did not only love the flowers that's blooming in me
but they also embraced the thorns that are with me.
A great person loves the unacceptable side of others, and its amazing to know that my sisters in Christ are really great persons in their own unique ways.
They are the ones who made me feel the essence of belongingness,
 and that i'm also unique in my own special way.
Its been years and years since i learned to trust again and
though im not that open now, BLESSED SINGLENESS has helped me break the walls
that i once built due to so much pain and rejection that i've experienced.
God knows how much i'm thankful for giving me such loving friends
that i can always remember when i grow old. I could say that
 it's the time of my life that i am most thankful for through them I was able to know 
the truth, and I was able to appreciate the beauty of the Bible Scriptures.
Also to be honest without them i would not be able to try Bible Studies which i was very curious long,long time ago.
It's always a memory worth keeping in every second that i'm with them.
I can assure that when it's time for us to go in our own separate ways,
every memory that will linger into my mind will be the times of true happiness that i felt in every moment i had with them.
To my sisters in Christ- "yours is the face always worth remembering".
And to you, yes you! I may not be a good writer or anything but hey i just told you how i feel and that's something!.
(mwah,tsup2x,xoxo ug uban pa nyahahahaha) - oir=)

Welcome My Sisters in BS!!!♥♥♥

Yehey.. I gladly introduce to our readers my sisters in the Blessed Singleness who are now my co-admins here...

Oir - She really created a gmail account so that she can access this blog.. We will be expecting some posts from her soon.. Hopefully, on Monday, we can read what she has to post..
Sophia - We will be looking forward to all her posts since she writes many interesting stories.. She spent an hour so that she can gain access to blogspot and her efforts weren't futile..
Angie - I hope she'll be able to access the net soon so that she can also write.. She's a writer at heart..
Jessreal Lou - She needs to visit internet cafes frequently so that she can write here, too..

However, there is one beautiful Blessed Single who doesn't have a Twitter account yet nor is she part of the blog site yet.. Her name is Juvy.. Let's hope she'll be active in the internet soon so that she won't be left behind..

Sisters: Let's all encourage Juvy to join this site and to write as well because we do know that she's good in writing.. Agree?

From now on, expect many things from my sisters in Christ.. I'm quite excited for them.. I want to read their posts that much.. hehehehehe...

My First Blog by Sophia

NOTE: due to sensitivity of the matter, i decided not to narrate what really was the problem which would probably make this writing a little bit "out of this planet ". i do hope, with the wisdom of our ALMIGHTY GOD, you will be able to get something from this. 


ITS me vs Monster PAGUFE

For the past week, i scarcely slept and ate well. Unusual rashes covered some parts of my back, lower neck, and stomach. (It was so annoying that i even reprimand myself from eating chicken thinking its an allergic reaction.) Instantaneously, i became choleric, squeamish, moody, and a total jerk.

Perhaps, PAGUFE was succeeding in his job-that is gnawing my heart, suffocating my mind, abasing my soul.
Who is he?
He is a monster.
And i created him.......WITHIN.
He came to life when something happened between me and 2 of my dear friends.
He was benign at the beginning thus, i ignored him. I pretended i was fine, i faked my smiles, i even disdained the mere thought of asking for help. Then, he slowly grew bigger...so sooner than i thought..

I tried to confront PAGUFE. 
I tried to destroy this heinous monster.
But, before every battle would start, i would cowardly surrender.
Call me chicken, timid, craven, dastard, poltroon. Call me whatever you want. For me, its just hard to combat against the soldier you see when you look in the mirror. It is so hard 
to face ones fault,
to accept ones shortcomings,
and to forgive ones wrongdoing.

PAGUFE is my PAin, my GUilt, my FEar. He is crashing my spirit everyday until i remembered HIM.

>PSALM 27:1"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
>PSALM 46:1-3 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.Therefore will not we fear , though the earth be removed , and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled , though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

i lost many battles against PAGUFE, but i,with willingness, and GOD won the war. Nothing is bigger than Him; not the monster we create or Satan himself..."for our God is a consuming fire." Heb. 12:29

Now, those cataclysmal moments are nothing but learnings. I am walking in the road which God purposely prepared for me. Their will be many self-created monster i will face in the future...yet, for now, THE WAR is OVER.
