Utterly me.

What’s happening over this side of the world? MY DEVO.

Luke 2:19 but Mary kept all this things and pondered them in her heart.

I have all the reasons to be emotional because I am a woman. I can cry until midnight because of unfaced insecurities, or labels like it. I can ceaselessly pretend to be okay when I’m not. Most of all, I can be proud because I am loved... or have children. (RACHEL and LEAH?) But look at Mary. She had just recently tied the knot with Joseph. She had just gave birth to Jesus (in a manger). Plus the fact that their lives are in great danger because of Herod. She lived a topsy-turvy life. Period. What’s amazing about her? She kept all things and pondered them in her heart. She was not demanding nor complaining of her fate. Perhaps she feels moody often, or tired with all the moving, (or teased and pressured) but she remained grateful and humble.

I hope I could be like her, a woman with a gentle and quite spirit which is precious in God’s sight. I don’t want to be carried away with the issues of life or of the heart. At best, I want to guard my heart. I may be scared of being vulnerable but it is how it works for me now. I don’t want to rush things (even college)... Everything is a process..

Last thought: To be mature IS A PROCESS TOO. Wearing make-up may make me a piece of art... but I still like the way I am without it... (it's one thing my JACOB just have to accept. lol)  

Before the color purple, there was Blue eagles

It was BCC’s second sportfest that a group of people (boys and girls) had to name their team with a color and an animal. Ofcourse, the eagle won the bouts of ideas because aside from being often mentioned in the bible, it characteriscally represent being sharp and strong. Blue came in next to retain the team’s Firebrand color. As the sportsfest came to a close and the rise of network names ring in, the girls decided to drop blue and sculpt the name to a more feminine sound like “eagurl”. Remarkably, the name stood the test of time.  

From then on, Terej and her yet to be 12 winged their way to the skies. They were always grateful with every hatch and catch until the willing troops were formed. By keeping in step with the spirit, they journeyed from klosels to conquest nights to hosting their own encounter with 14 girls. Their in-betweens are worth mentioning too! There was Why not tell the Truth, the Wedding Banquet, Pimp my Bedroom, Oxygen, Gravity, Warrior Chicks, Jacob and Rachel, Take-Off, Purpleblood and the many Hugoy-hugoys. Every eagurl sure has the heart to serve and having fun at the same time. For this reason, the network continues to dream big. What’s next for them? Definitely an increase in Spirit-born disciples, trained to work and operate in the offices of the Holy Spirit. Particularly, catering these disciples into different avenues professionals, college and highschool levels.

Nevertheless, in every eagurlz’ flight is their battle cry to victory with the words: “Captains of 100 -Not by might, nor by power but by the spirit of the living God. Jesus3x. Conceal nothing. Defend nothing. Excuse nothing. We will govern. We will conquer. We will dominate. Eagurlz! Taking the lead.” It sounds very bold but the agilas know that their cry is a passionately rally to a right heart and spirit in loving God and people. It requires effort but to girls who loves Jesus, no mountain is unscalable. 

Dear blexi

All your efforts are not in vain... nor your tears ignored. Don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through. You know well that life is not a bed of roses. I want to remind you that in this world we really must face trials, but you do not have to be sad about it because the one you love conquered it all -so that you could come out a winner. Don't you realized He loves you so much? Remember the Cross? He fought for your victory there! You should be happy because these trials make you partners with Him in His suffering. It may have pained you a bit to see that things are not going as you planned but He must have better things in mind. Just wait and see! Can a diamond be formed overnight? No, its luster is a work of long years of heat. So do not fret anymore. It will make me happy if you just smile these sorrows away. I saw you staring at nothing for a while and at other times I see you talking to yourself and fighting it, I hope you will really learn the lesson of speaking forth faith in the circumstances that you are going through. You see, I have always believed in you. He does too, (with all of His heart). Blessy, you are precious. You are loved, You are His! Remain in His love okay? 

PS: Hey, what's this commotion in your emotions? I understand also that you get frustrated when sometimes pieces of your heart is being taken away without permission. Yes, it is stressful but you have to go through these things. Better to hide your heart in the deepest of His love so that it wont get stolen. Really!
