In His Time

Image
Have you ever wondered why there are things in life that we prayed for but we don't get an immediate response from God? And you start questioning your faith and doubted if God heard what you're praying for? Maybe most of us experienced it. Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version (NIV) 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,   neither are your ways my ways,”  declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,   so are my ways higher than your ways   and my thoughts than your thoughts. God's ways and thoughts will always be better than us. Maybe the pain you are experiencing right now will be the lesson that you will need for the future. Maybe the defeat you experienced will be the fire that you will use for your next move in life. Whatever we are going through right now there is always a reason for that. A plan to prosper you. Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV) 11 For I know the plans I have for yo...

Know Yourself

Image
There is something that is rarely talked about in our day-to-day lives.   Self-awareness. How important is it? Imagine your soul got out of your body and you don't know you are, you don't know your name, height, your facial features, your address, and everything about you. For sure, you'll get lost, you will never find your way home because you don't know yourself. The pursuit of self-awareness is not a waste of time. In fact, it is truly worth it, it produces great results. People who are self-aware know their strengths, know their weaknesses. They know what will make their hearts on fire, and they also know what will make it cold and passive. These people are truly aware of what they are made of and what can they bring to the table.

Image
Sino ba si Renzo Ramel? Ako po si Renzo Ramel , ipinanganak noong ika-7 ng Disyembre taong 1995, dalawampu’t dalawang taong gulang(22 years old) at ako po ay tubong Marulas. Ako po ay nakapagtapos ng elementarya sa Marulas Christian School , at sekondarya naman sa Valenzuela City Science High School o mas kilala ngayon bilang Valenzuela City School of Mathematics and Science. Nakapagtapos po ako sa kursong Bachelor of Science in Information Systems sa University of Santo Tomas . “Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.”  Yan po ay isang napakabigat na salita na binitawan ng ating pambansang bayani, Dr. Jose Rizal. Ayon po sa aking survey na ginawa noong 2015( http://enzoramel.blogspot.com/2017/08/pinoy-speaks-what-do-you-think-of-our.html ), marami sa ating mga kababayan ang naniniwala na mas lalo pang uunlad at gaganda ang ating bansa. Kaya po bilang miyembro ng kabataan, ako po ay naglalayon na maging SK Kagawad dito sa ating Barangay Marulas sa ilalim ng...

Panatang Makabayan

Image
"Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa." Panatang Makabayan, pinakabisado sa atin to mula elementarya hanggang hayskul. Napakaganda ng mensahe pero naisasapamuhay ba natin? Sa isip Nag-iisip pa ba tayo ng kapakanan ng ating bayan o sa pansariling interes na lang?  Maraming mga Pilipino na kapag nakakakita ng mga matatagumpay na kababayan nila ay madalas may mga negatibo pa rin silang nasasabi. Halimbawa na lamang ang pambansang kamao na si Manny Pacquiao, noong nasa rurok pa siya ng boksing ay sobrang daming sumusuporta sa kanya ngunit ngayon na humihina na siya, marami na siyang kritiko na maraming negatibong bagay na sinasabi sa kanya.  May mga kababayan din tayo na mas iisipin ang sarili kaysa sa bayan. Pinakamagandang halimbawa na lamang dito ay ang kwento ni Andres Bonifacio. Pinapatay ng kapwa Pilipino dahil may mga taong ganid sa kapangyarihan o mataas na posisyon na gustong alisin siya sa mataas na...

Image
When you are driving and you see a pedestrian before a stop in a traffic light, what would you do? When you are crossing the street and you see a signage stating "Bawal tumawid" , will you still cross the street or will you use the overpass? After chewing a gum. where do you throw it? At the street or in a trash bin? Those are simple scenario but it could make a big difference. In those situations, would you do the right thing or will you do what is comfortable for you even though you know it is bad? Being disciplined is doing the right thing even in the face struggle or temptation. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "Discipline"  means training that  corrects , molds, or perfects the mental faculties  or moral character orderly or  prescribed  conduct or pattern of behavior People nowadays, want instant results and instant fulfillment, but this is not always possible. When you want to achieve something you must ha...
