kamustasa dito sa Ulaanbaatar

Hello, hello

Ano na nangyari sa ating blogspot? Anywayz, heto na at nakalabas na kaming 3 nila Ianne at Ate Grace... susunod na si Tess... Kamusta naman ang mga nandiyan pa sa Pinas?? Aba'y magalisan na rin kayo ng malaman niyo ang tunay na nararamdaman ng isang misyonero...

Naku talagang excited kayo pag-alis niyo, kasi marami sa atin ang 1st time lumabas ng bansa... pero naku, 1 buwan palang ako dito feeling ko sobrang tagal na... grabe, iba ang mabuhay dito... Ang bagal ng oras...sa simula exciting pagdating mo pero ilang araw lang hay... nalulungkot ka na...

Kung akong 1 buwan palang nandito eh nalulungkot na what more ang mga tumagal na ng ilang taon sa mission field nila??? Buti nga may kasama pa akong Pinay, eh paano na yung wala?? Yung nagiisa?

Hay, Ate Grace... sobrang kakaiba ang feeling mo kasi magisa ka lang na Pinay... sobrang feeling alienated ka kasi di ka makakapagtagalog diyan eh...Atleast kami ni Ianne pagkatapos mag-english aba'y may kausap kaming nagtatagalog... Lahat ng ating kalahi dito (ma-Cebuano, o Ilocano... ang common language pa rin ay tagalog...)

Sa ngayon full schedule na ang aking august kaya di na ako nalulungkot gaya last month...heto ang bakasyong hinihingi ko kay Lord...aba'y natutulog ako ng 12am sa kakanood ng tv or pagbabasa ng christian books tapos gigising ako ng 9-10am ng umaga kasi 2-4pm pa ang aking pagtuturo...

Ngayong buwan ko rin malalaman kung ako'y tatagal ng ilang taon o uuwi na sa September... May hinihintay lang akong "go signal" galing kay Lord...Siyempre God's will pa rin ang susundin ko (kahit gusto ko ng umuwi...) Well, sabi nga ni PA. Nothing can stop God in His plans for us...

Sa September or October pa raw magsno-snow dito kaya hay... yun pa man din ang hinihintay ko at di pa ako nakakita ng snow...

O sya, at mahaba na ito... di na ako maglalagay ng picture dito at tingnan niyo na lang ang website ko...

Hay... miss ko na kayo mga girlalu...keep in touch

God bless
Carol

Just a few minutes of your precious time...

New Version of "Footprints"

Maybe you've already read this. Just thought of putting it here 'coz it's really nice.

Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns. For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling His consistently.

You and Jesus are walking as true friends!

This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one. This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger. Eventually they disappear altogether.

There is only one set of footprints they have become one.

This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints. You are amazed and shocked. Your dream ends.

Now you pray: "Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You."

"That is correct."

"And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely."

"Very good...You have understood everything so far."

When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way."

"Precisely."

"So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first."

There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice. "You didn't know? It was then that we danced!"

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, a time to laugh, A time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:1,4.

Let the Lamb who was slain received to glory of His suffering through the lives He has given us....

Your fellow missionary in Christ,

The Blessing

Let’s not say another word
We don’t need to question why
Let us pass through this moment
Like a candle in the night
We don’t need to wave goodbye
This is not our final song
Even though in our sadness tears may fall
Take my smile, hold it in your heart forever
And I will be with you wherever you may go

How much pain must we taste?
How much sorrow must we know?
Will we only learn in losing how to cherish what we hold?
But our love is like the wind
We can’t hold it in our hands
In the light of a new day we will understand
So take my smile, hold it in your heart forever
And I will be with you wherever you may go

*May the road rise to meet you on your way
May the sun always shine upon your face
And until the journey brings us back together
May God hold you in (the center of) His hand…

Happy Birthday Dokie

Dr. Suni Moreno with the Batch 18 girls
** we declare blessings to you doc!! Godbless you more and more ..

love,
from your ACM family
