Hillsong Conference 2005

ey! we'll be leaving for sydney on wedenesday to
attend the Hillsong Conference 2005.
isn't that great or what! i'm getting too jumpy
about it. i'll be posting the day-to-day updates
on my blog and i'll try my best to post some pictures
too. so do stop by once in a while.

please pray for us, we were hoping to get some
fresh feeding from God to fuel our church ministries.
hoping we could also catch their vision and implement
it in our local church.

now that You're near, everything is different.. la la la la..

survivor camarines

music: Your grace is enough - chris tomlin
mood: home at last

i spent the last two weeks in camarines where
we had our pilot project from globe. we're
not directly working for them, we were just
contracted by a subcontractor. we did some
installations at pacol, san felipe, bulo,
sipocot, libmanan, cabusao, pamukid, san fernando
and naga. we were supposed to install at liboro
but there was an incident there where armed men
entered the cellsite premises, robbed the workers' of their
cellphones and wallets and hit some of the workers
on the heads with their guns. this is days before
we were supposed to do some installation there.
if without God's grace, that could have been us. because
of that incident, the project was put on hold.

well im safe and i thank God for that. when i was once in
davao, alleged npa soldiers went inside the cellsite
premises asking for the engineer in charge. i was out
eating lunch when those men came in. hmm.. talk about
perfect timing. but i know even if i was there, the Lord
could have kept me safe. indeed the Lord protects me
everytime i do field works.

here are some of the pics during my recent stay in
camarines:

naga

i left a day AFTER the ruben morgan concert.
praise God. i could have been another no-show.
anyway, this is my eighth day in camarines.

i'll post about survivor camarines when i
come back home. si gloria pa ba president
natin? i haven't seen or read about the news
the past week.

does anyone know who sang the song with the
lyrics that goes like this:

"oh mami-miss kitaahh, oh aking sintaahhh.."

because i've heard it a million times over
here. o wait, maybe a gazillion times
already. you know there ought to be a KBP
limit for overplayed songs.. at sa kasamaang
palad, yung Love Radio nakakaabot pa dito.
kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan? aaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

i miss my bed.

verse 1:
E                    A
i came to seek Your will not mine
E                        A  
and wait as things fall into place
                 E
in Your perfect time
                A
when things are made beautiful
E                     A
and broken hearts restored
               E-A-E-A
into something new

verse 2:
E                A
You can have my heart, it's Yours
E                      A
i'm bringing back the pieces
                          E
scattered from different places

                       A
because of Your great love

i am not consumed
                    B/Eb
your mercies never fail
              C#m
they are new everyday 
                   A
they are new everyday 
                       E-B-C#m-A
great is Your faithfulness

E                       A
...i came to seek Your will

i made use of open chords because it's much simpler
to play and gives rich high(s) when strummed. whew..
