Personal Reflections on our New Born Baby

Dear Daddy,

It is such a happy day Daddy. I know Daddy that I have already thank you through prayer, but I also enjoy writing to you in my personal reflections.

Daddy, I’m filled with so much joy for the new blessings that you have given us lately. Finally, Baby Elisha Jayne Bere is born. On top of that, Mamai delivered baby normally and they are both very healthy.

Also Daddy, I thank you so much for providing for us. Especially for providing money for us to pay the hospital bills. Who would have taught that someone could go to the hospital and give birth with just 2,000 Pesos in his pocket? Well, people need to believe in your glory Daddy just like I did.

As I think back and do a personal reflection on what happen, I can see that someone great has orchestrated the whole “scene”.

First I was able to bump in with Nonon and Uncle Tony. So we got a free ride to the hospital. Secondly, Tito Tony arrived just in time that I was about to pay the down payment. Third, my family and Mamai’s family chip in some money to pay off the rest of the hospital bills.

I know that you know Daddy that it pains me to ask for me. But it was all my fault because I did not prepare well. All of those times that I exchange sleeping, relaxing, spending my money, and other unproductive activities lead to that day.

What would happen to me if I did not have friends and our families?

Lord God, I want to change my life. Specifically, my financial life. I want to end these dreadful situations where in I could even buy a single cup of coffee for myself.

Please bless with this decision Daddy.

Thank and I love you always.

Personal Reflections on God's Exact Timing of blessings

Dear Daddy,

It has been such a great day and I can’t help but do my personal reflections.

Your providence Daddy is always such a surprise that it comes on the right time, right place, and the readiness of the heart. It is such a surprise that it usually makes me cry.

After Tito Tony gave me the money for Mamai’s birthday I can’t help but cry with tears of joy. Not only will I have money for Mamai’s birthday, I will have extra money as well to spend for Baby’s stuff and save a part of it for the delivery of Baby.

It wasn’t really much of a day when it started in the morning, but you have proven again dear Father that your are very true to your promise. Hehehe

Finally I was able to buy a card for Mamai, Ice Cream for both our families, and Lechon Manuk for both families as well.

Through this day I am again move to do personal reflections on how your blessings come and just to really trust you and full confidence of your provision. Although I would be a hypocrite if I say that I no longer have fears on where we would get the money to pay for the hospital bills during Mamai’s labor but I trust more now that you will really provide.

Daddy, I pray for your grace, that it will provide us the strength to have faith that you will never leave us in time of our need; that we will always look to prayer and not doubt. And most especially Daddy, I ask that Mamai will have a normal delivery with Baby, and that baby will have an excellent health.

Please bless us with more of your provisions loving Father.

This I all ask in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

Personal Reflections of an Entrepreneur on a Bright Day to come

Dear Daddy,

A great morning to spend time in doing my personal reflections.

It’s a Sunday and I am marveled at today’s relaxing day, which is filled with service and love of family. Today I am spending really good time in cleaning the house, washing our clothes, listening to beautiful music, and breathing the fresh air that is filled with your love.

I thank you Daddy for always inspiring me day by day, minute by minute to become a better servant of Your kingdom. Although I have not yet done my usual Morning Prayer and Gratitude Listing, I am already at a positive state that today is such a great day to celebrate and worship you by simply being with my family.

I can’t help but smile as I do personal reflections today because I know that my life today is a gift from you dear Daddy. That even with the dozens of challenges that come, I know that it can’t compare to the THOUSANDS of blessings that I am receiving every second of my life.

So I continue to embark on this journey of life, living every second knowing that I am always receiving more blessings compared to challenges. I choose to focus on my blessings, my dreams, and things that really inspire me. Rather than focusing on all the negative things in my life.

Thank you so much Daddy. I love you so much. Till the end of my gift-given life here on earth.

Personal Reflections on Living with God's Amazing Grace

As I do my personal reflections on this late night, I have a feeling of relief. I realized that in life, or even in a day we often fail and fall short of the glory of God but in these moments of failure we should remain firm and refocus ourselves to serving God again.

I can again say that it was really a tough day, yet God’s victory in my life always reigns. And no matter how sinful I have been in this very day His enormous love still engulfed me.

As I lead hundreds of people to worshiping Him I am reminded that God will meet us half way. Of course He expects nothing but the best from us, but our “human best” is very much enough for Him. I know deep in my heart, He opened the gates of heaven and heard our praises and worship.
Even with the fact that I am a sinner and leading worship, He really does not seem to care. He enjoys love from the same kind of sinners that are worshiping Him.

I continue to live in the path of being a Christian, knowing that God’s grace is the only thing that’s sustaining me in this life. That with all my mistakes, I can always comeback to Him and ask for forgiveness. 

My God is definitely an ultra-awesome God!

I love you Father with all my heart and will continue to serve with the best that I can.

Really Struggling on my Personal Life

Dear Daddy,

Today has really been a tough struggle for me.

The main reason that I have been move to do a personal reflection today is because it has been really struggle for me today.

At early morning while reading the gospel, praying, and having my usual habit of visualization I suddenly treated my wife with much coldness and anger. The main reason is not because of her, but because of the problems that I carried on my back. Which are mostly financial and personal issues of my life.

I’m sick and tired of the “same-old-sins” that I was committing. I was tired of me always the things that I needed to do, and didn’t even make any single step to accomplish it. It was even worse that I ended up not only getting angry to my wife, but shouting to her as well.

My wife got deeply hurt and out of love for her I realized the stupid mistake I made. I was hurting her for reasons that were my own doing.

So I apologized and comforted her with kisses and hugs while she was crying. After that we had lunch together and enjoyed each other’s company again.

But after washing the dishes, instead of focusing on the business stuff that I needed to finish I choose to lie on the couch and watch Television for an entire 2-3 hours.  Another waste of time in which really is the most important asset of all time.

Worse, my mother is starting to think lowly of me. I think it’s because it has already been 8 months since I left my job and until I have no million to show her. In fact, I can’t even show her thousands, for I merely have enough to survive for a few days more.

I truly need to get back on my feet. I need to really rethink my life if I want to be true successful entrepreneur. Also I really need to do my personal reflections everyday. Only by really understanding myself will I be able get over this challenge in my financial and personal life.

To address my financial problems, I have to really address my personal struggles first, before I can address any other area of my life.

Hope to achieve this one day.

Personal Reflection on a Great Challenge

Dear Daddy,

It’s been a while since I have made my personal reflections, and there’s really in my chest right now that needs to be released.

It’s the due day of Mamai Lord, and instead of earning more money, I have earned more debts. Reality is really sinking in to Mamai, and it’s sort of making her nuts. But honestly she has a very good point.

Since my last day with SMIS, I haven’t really shown her any results. I guess this Your way of telling me Daddy, that enough is enough, work your ass off. I have been really slack this past six months. Always procrastinating. Stubborn as ever. And wasting my energy and time and worthless activities.

Yes, one of the areas that I need to work on is my relationships, my health, my spiritual life, and my moment of “stress-free” days, but I have to draw the line and focus what matters most in my life’s current situation.  And that focus is to earn a big-chunk of cash for Mamai’s delivery.

I have to wake up and work on something really, really, really, really fast. I need at least 200,000 Pesos in 30 days. Pressure is really building up on my mind and even in my vital organs. Just the thought of it causes my hyper acidity to activate, like a volcano ready to explode.

I can only think of 4 things to do that will make me some quick cash, Daddy. Of course it has to really utilize my most core gift – TALKING. 

These basic things are:
1. Real Estate selling
2. Internet Marketing
3. IMG – Network Marketing
4. Events Marketing

By focusing my time and specially my core skills these powerful businesses, the 200,000 Pesos in one month is doable. I have never challenged myself this much, and I think this is really an experience worth remembering.

This is actually a do or die situation Daddy. I must make the 200k or my baby will suffer. And also this will really give Mamai a peace of mind.
But heavenly Father as I challenge myself, and really push towards achieving this big-audacious goal, I look to you for grace and guidance, knowing that all things comes from your goodness and generosity.

Daddy, You are my Father, and I know as Your son I am also entitled to Your abundance here on earth and in heaven. I ask of you Daddy please bless me with the anointing of ease. I really need it Dad. For sure you are well aware of that.

I come to You Father with a trusting heart.

All of this I ask in Jesus mighty name.

Amen
