Ay katuwa QT ko ngayon!
When it comes to close relationships in life, we knit our soul to another person's as the relationship grows. Kaya we develop a SOUL TIE to that person. Pero kwidaw tayo... kasi may danger when we knit ourselves to someone who is not led by the Spirit. In effect the TIE then can strangle us, pull us down... pull our spirit. we need to be reminded of Gal 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
I.T.
"All a man's ways seem right to him but the Lord weighs the heart." Prov 21:2
"Just because it feels good, doesn't make it right." (Skunk Anansie)
We have a tendency to think that as long as our actions don't hurt anybody, then it's ok. We think our heart is resilient. We seize the day and declare our feelings to a person, thinking that tomorrow might just be too late. Often we end up getting hurt especially when we find out that there is still tomorrow. But if we actually let Christ guide our actions and ask the Holy Spirit, we can be given the proper timing. God makes things beautiful in His time.

Two ladies from Lakas-Angkan,N. Ecija share their insights on each quiet time that they have ever since they heard about "ampalaya".
DO SOMETHING
"Faith that does nothing is dead!" (James 2:26)
Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. God is always near and always available. Just waiting for your touch. So let him know. Demonstrate your devotion:
Write a letter.
Ask forgiveness.
Be baptized.
Feed a hungry person.
Pray.
Teach.
Go.
Do something that demonstrates faith. For faith with no effort is no faith at all. God will respond. He has never rejected a genuine gesture of faith. Never.
---He Still Moves Stones

SOLE PROVIDER, SOLE COMFORTER (from The Applause of Heaven)
As long as Jesus is one of my options, he is not an option.
As long as you can carry your burdens alone, you don't need a burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive no comfort. And as long as you can take Him or leave Hin, you might as well leave Him, because He won't be taken half-heartedly.
But when you mourn, when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins, when you admit that you have no other option but to cast all your cares on Him, and when there is truly no other name that you can call, then cast all your cares on Him, for He is waiting in the midst of the storm.

Amena Brown: Ressurection
What's AMPALAYA?
Ampalaya or bitter gourd is a vegetable which has a bitter taste but very high in nutrients and said to be good cure for anemics. For Christians, it is devotion, the essence of your faith - that which Christians almost never like. It is the reading and meditating on God's word. Our faith may be focused on good deeds and making the world a better place, but it is nothing without ampalaya.
