First Thing In The Morning

my daily devotion

This is my devotional set. A notebook with christian worship songs in it, Our Daily Bread devotional reading materials, and my e-bible, NIV (product of Franklin). I do my devotional moment first thing in the morning. This is acknowledging that we need God to lead us the day ahead. Doing this have strengthened me.

How Is Your Day?

It is a lazy day today. I don't feel good while on work now. I feel like I have fever. Must be the weather? Or am I lacking some life in my living lately?

Consider Job in the old times. He has everything then. In fact, he was way ahead too great from anybody else in terms of possessions and a happy family. All of a sudden, God took it away from him (for a purpose).

Obviously, it is really difficult to go on living with a life like that, but we have the options. Whether to complain, grumble and be indifferent toward everything around us, especially to God. Or to humbly yield on to His working in our lives along with the claim of faith that what God is doing in our lives is for our own good. And that what is ahead of that is a promise of good life. We may don't seem to understand what God is trying to make out of our present circumstances, but like a clay potter, He is moulding us in His hands. Notice this, if the "Potter" sees some imperfections in the clay He is moulding, He have to crushed it and work on it all over again.

What is our choice? Be stubborn? Or be submissive? If you think you are enjoying the "remoulding" God is doing in your life, keep being stubborn. If you think that the "moulding" process is uncomfortable, then, for your own sake, be submissive, so that the "Potter" won't have to "remould" you again. It is surely a painful process.


"... I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and smile" Job 9:27

This is the Kitchen Showroom of JY All Boards. It is located at A. S. Fortuna, Banilad, Mandaue City. Philippines. We sell melamine boards, mouldings, kitchen cabinet and kitchen accessories.

All About You

When the music fades and all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That would bless Your heart

I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
It's not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
'Cause it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the things I've made
When it's all about You
All about You, Jesus

King of endless worth, no one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours
Every single breath


This is a song we used to sing during our Praise and Worship. I like this song very much. It connects my heart to the King of kings. And it reminds me that our life that we are living, it is all about Him.

International Frugal Fun Day

Every first Saturday in October, some place celebrated the "Frugal Fun Day".

If you dig deeply, you will find resources that describe this day as "International" Frugal Fun Day, and "National" Frugal Fun Day. However, we found no documentation supporting the International or National tags. We did find plenty of reference to the intent of this day.... to have fun "on the cheap".

The word "frugal" in
www.dictionary.com means; economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful; entailing little expense; requiring few resources; meager; scanty.

Frugal Fun Day is a day to enjoy fun activities that are free (or very inexpensive). If you use your imagination, the ideas are endless. Go on a bike or walking hike. The Fall leaves are on display. Have a picnic in the park, or your back yard. Invite some friends or neighbors over for a garage party and dance. Go fly a kite. Pull out the those old board games or puzzles that you have stored in the basement. Play cards with some friends.

Here's wishing you a very
Happy Frugal Fun Day.

Origin of Frugal Fun Day:

This special day was created by Shel Horowitz, author of The Penny-Pinching Hedonist: How to Live Like Royalty with a Peasant's Pocketbook. We strongly suspect Frugal Fun Day was created, in part, to promote the book. Regardless of the reason for creating this day, we see nothing wrong with having a little inexpensive fun.

Look Who's Blogging?



A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Blogging is growing in society. It is a fad. To some it is a craze. It is widespreading internationally.

The word "blog" is a short term for the word "web log". It is an online journal. It is the activity of creating and maintaining a blog (which is a special kind of web site) or several blogs by making posts and uploading images and so on.

Personally, I enjoy blogging. It makes me active mentally and enables me to share what i learn and what I feel. Blogging is fun!

Happy Blogging!

"Patience Is A Virtue"

We often heard; "Patience is a virtue." And it's true that most of us hate the waiting period. We get irritated standing on a long line to pay for some grocery. We get mad when somebody is not following their timeline. We get pissed off when somebody we had agreed to meet in a certain place and at certain time didn't show on time.

Any mother can tell you that waiting to give birth is an experience that builds patience. But pity the poor mother elephant. It takes about 22 months for an unborn elephant to mature to birth! the shark known as the spiny dogfish has a pregnancy duration of 22-24 months. And at elevation above 4,600 feet, the Alpine salamander endures a gestational period of up to 38 months!

Farmers waited and toiled hard, just to be able to support his family.

Abraham was told by God that his descendants would be like the sands on the seashore. He waited, and he was a hundred year old when his first son was born. Laban worked fourteen years for Rachel to become his wife.And there are many more others in the bible history that has a wonderful story about waiting.

Waiting for God's promise to be fulfilled is part of trusting Him. No matter how long the delay. we must wait for Him. As the book of Hebrews said;
"Let us hold fast the confession our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23)
