Faith Goals 2016


Even before January 1st my Facebook news page has been flooded with posts about new year's resolution, goals, and expectations. That's too overwhelming. Yes. But I just wonder which of these lists would be realized even before these will be forgotten.

When we set something for ourselves be it deadlines or goals, we tend to plan the whole thing and don't leave the doing to God.

For this year's prayer and fasting week at church, we dare to believe that God will meet all our faith goals because God can.

But what are faith goals?

Defining it simply, these are things that you desire to achieve or accomplish by and in faith. Say for example, this year you desire to own a car, study abroad, start a business, restore broken relationships, or physical healing. The list can go on and as you may have noticed these are the things that you thought are a little too selfish that you don't tell them to God.

Actually God already knows what's in our hearts (Psalm 139) even before we say it but He wants to hear it straight from us.

I may have missed the point about faith goals so please check this better and more detailed explanation of what a faith goal is by Rick Warren. ^_^

What are my faith goals?
First, I thank God for last year's goals. I can't imagine having almost all my list checked. Weeeeeeeeh ♥ How sweet my God is. He gave me an amazing job - a passion. I met awesome people. I got new gadgets. My family was able to start paying for a lot. And before 2015 ended, I started studying again. Subarashii! 素晴らしい. 

More than that, I believe the way I see God as God has been totally changed. Our relationship became even more intimate. It may not be perfect because admittedly there are really times that I get strayed away from Him. But I can say that I've come to that point of experiencing His love as a Father. 

So for this year I am praying for greater things to happen in my life. By greater I mean of the things that I cannot do apart from the Lord. By faith, I receive and claim these things. Yet if some of these are not aligned to what God wants me to do and to have this year, still I will praise Him with joy and gladness in my heart. After all, He alone knows what's best and right for me.

Now it's your turn

It's never too late to list down your faith goals. If you are still confused on how to make one, then you can send me a message hahahaha or maybe you can check this sample list by Rica Peralejo. (wink)


Enjoy writing down your faith goals dear friend. And before you forget, you have to PRAY about it unceasingly (1 Thessalonians 5:17) ♥♥♥

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku)  While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website .  2.  Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno)   This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey.  Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo.  3....

GGPEI First Anniversary (Team Mary)

For almost eight months now, I have worked as an online ESL teacher to Japanese. And just recently, the company I am currently connected with had its first anniversary (wohooooo!!!) It feels overwhelming to be part of this celebration. The firsts are always historical. As part of the event, the company which has more than a hundred employees decided to have this Team Dance and Halloween Costume Design Competitions. Our team, Team Mary , won 3rd place and 2nd place respectively. We are CHAMPIONS! FYI: We are the only team (out of eight teams ehems ehems) to win in both categories. Lemme repeat, WE ARE CHAMPIONS! This is my blog so I'm a little biased. What I loved about the prep and practice days was that I get to know the people I am working with deeper. And because I have all the right to be biased because I repeat, this is my blog lemme describe my team mates and what I discovered about them! hahahaha However, I can only list here those who I spent more time with. hehehe....

DPE at Cebu Normal University

Though I haven't gotten that energy back yet, I'm feeling gay to tell you of what I've gone through the five-month DPE studies at CNU. I am never the ideal student (hahaha) so forgive me if I can only tell you the things based on what I've experienced. So, I was enrolled in 6 subjects which is equivalent to 18 units. To graduate or I mean finish the program you need to get a total of 33 units for one school year. But I only wanted to qualify for the Licensure Exam so I only complied with the 18 education units as required by the Department of Education. My courses were Child and Adolescent Development, Educational Technology, The Teaching Profession, Assessment of Student Learning, Curriculum Development, and Principles of Teaching. These courses are actually foreign to me (hahahaha) as you know I finished Mass Communication. FAQs 1. What's the first step? Hahaha of course, go to CNU (aww) Pray bitaw. Yes, pray. Teaching is not merely a profession,...
