"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.
