"Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, Believe that you have received them, and you shall have them."
Earlier, my thesis groupmate searched the net for some ICTPROJ blogs. Then he started reading out loud the first blog he saw. I was actually surprised that the story that the was reading was familiar, then after he read it, he told me, do you know Jay-ar? Then finally, I remembered about the faith story that kuya JayR have told us about their defense. I got inspired again and it made me search Bible verses in the net.
I hear this verse often and this is also one of the verses that kept me hanging on when I got really sick and had no idea what my illness was. Even now that the Doctors haven't really figured out what is my sickness, I still believe that I will be healed, that I AM HEALED.
Later, it will be our Thesis defense. No matter what happens, I believe that God has a plan for us. If we make it or not, I know that in the end, it'll still benefit us all in the group. But still, I believe, I believe that our group will make it. I believe that when we go out of the defense room, there will be smiles and tears of joy. I believe, WE BELIEVE.
Have faith. Not knowing what will be the result tom, I believe that we will survive. Prayers is all we need and having faith will lead us to the "right path". :)
I BELIEVE. Ask in prayers and have faith.

Romans 12:11
"Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord."
This verse really got me. I admit that lately, I have been lacking in zeal. Its almost a year ago already since I last conducted our Legion of Mary in our chapel.
Lately, I have been kinda.. I can't really explain but my zeal is just not that strong as it was before. I pray, yes. But I think that my actions are too weak to be called a faithful servant. :(
There was even a time when I wasn't able to attend the mass for a reason that I can't even remember. I guess I lack fellowship. I haven't even attended my our group's Bible study yet for the whole term. Good thing that there's an alumni BS where I can still attend every other Saturdays, I attended only two, btw.
I realized that the lack of fellowship is possibly the reason why my zeal got weak. :| I need to be around people who will make my drive and passion for serving become like a flaming fire again.
As of now, I am trying to find ways that will make my faith stronger and my zeal burning.
I miss the kids. :( I've met three new Brothers from Ateneo. They told me that they are willing to help me teach the kids and assist me in our legion. I'm really willing to grab this opportunity because in my heart I actually knew that I really want to do this, I miss being with and teaching the kids. Its as if my Sundays are incomplete when we don't do legion.
For me, legion is like making sacrifices and offering to God and Mama Mary my time, effort and passion. Not only that I get to pray the rosary even once every week but I also get to teach the kids how to pray and we bond together. I am also finding ways on how to make our gatherings become more exciting for them. To make it more fun, interesting and make them get to know Christ even more.

BS: Genesis 42:1b
Genesis 42:1b "Why do you stand looking at one another?"
Last Tuesday was our Thesis orientation. My group and I meets every once in a while but I don't think that everyone is doing their tasks. This affects me because it makes me want to slack off. I feel sad because I'm beginning to work only when we are together unlike before, even though I know that they are doing nothing when we're not together, I still do what I think I can do and just show them everything I've done on our next meeting.
This is not good because I think that I am adapting to the negative manner that some of us have. I got to change this, knowing that we only have like less than two weeks to decide whether to drop thesis this term or not.
I am really nervous. For my application, I will do again everything I can do at home. I will study hard on the things that I am not really familiar and give my groupmates output whenever we meet (which is like almost everyday except weekends), even though some of them might not present anything. I'll also make sure to make agendas whenever we meet AND that I'll try not to feel that its unfair for me doing more and getting stressed than they are, rather I'll just be thankful to what I can do, that I can do it and that I am able to show them what I got. :)

BS: Genesis 39:2
Gen 39:2 Yahweh blessed Joseph while he lived in the house of his master, the Egyptian, and everything went right for him.
Right now, my group and I are now doing our thesis. Since its a disaster mapping system, we find it really hard and we encounter problems that hinders us from finishing even 50% of the system. :(
In the verse, I came to realize that I have to include God in what we do. I admit, lately, I haven't been reading the Bible. I am problematic on our thesis but I realized now that I haven't really lifted this up to Him.
For my application, I will lift our thesis problems to God and become very dedicated in doing this thesis. I'd also like to invite my groupmates to go to mass together. Before doing thesis, I will ask for guidance and help from God.

Foreword
Before I joined an organization called FORMDEV, I never really read the Bible.
Yes, I go to Church but never really read the Word of God. When Bible was finally introduced to me by Doc Sison, I really felt that I became closer to God and I became more appreciative on everything that I have and everything good that the world has.
We are having our Bible study every week and we are asked to share the verse in the chapters we are studying why it struck us and what actions can we do to act on our learnings on each of our verses.
I'm going to put here my reflections on the readings that I have everyday.
I'll try to make my reflections short but full of meaning so that readers would not get bored reading lengthy texts.
God bless and have a good day! :)
