Kumusta Ka!

This is one Cebuano-Christian song that I reeeeeeally like! Searched for it through the internet, but the search engine didn't give me what I wanted. Didn't realize that there are a lot of songs entitled Kumusta Ka.

Still, after a bit of searching and meddling with my browser's search button. Finally! I have found the lyrics of this song.

Wanted to play it for myself so, hey! I transcribed it!

This my version of Kumusta Ka.

Key: A

A                
Nalipay ko’g dako nga ikaw ania

I didn't find the original composer of this song that's why I'll put that on hold. Any ideas who the composer is? How 'bout commenting below?

Maybe you have your own and better version of the chords for this!
How 'bout sharing it? :)
Have fun meeting and greeting each other with the Lord!
God bless you! :D

My Everlasting Friend

Morning and evening you're always there.
Looking at me though nobody cares.
Ever hour, every minute stroking my head,
Even though I am already out of bed.

Some may think I'm crazy,
But, you think differently.
Making me feel special,
Even though the world denies me.

People think I'm crazy,
Being so dependent on You.
But they don't realize how Amazing You are.
And all the things that You can do.

I am really so blessed to know You,
You even fought for me.
Releasing me in these chains,
So I can live joyfully.

Someone that fought for me,
Even though I don't deserve it.
Blood that was shed not on swords,
But, in Your hands; on a tree.

You are the only one I can fully trust.
I even received from You the best gift,
Assuring me of my future,
That everlastingly spans for eternity.

I may not be able to see you now,
But I am sure it'll come.
You will forever be in my heart.
For that is the place I set for you right from the start.

Epic Mother's Day is Epic

Well, I really do not know when the exact date of Mother's Day is, but hey! Made my mom a special video!

It's a wee bit short and maybe not a grand scale video editing which can be viewed in 3D, but its for my one and only mother! ;D



Hey Ma! Mother's Day is a special day where all moms are cheered for, and I am quite happy for having a great mom!

However, whether its independence day, our dog's birthday and even April fools day! I will forever love you and celebrate everyday as if its like mothers day!

Thank you for being a great Mom MA! Love ya! :D

Friendship Worth It

In this dark and cloudy night.
where the moon shines, but unable to bear its light.
Seeing you made me bear a smile.
And my heart felt excited just like a child.

I waited just to greet you,
but you were a bit busy so I waited a little more.
Gladly, somebody was there.
To accompany me while you were else were.

Now I sit here in this room,
Feeling a bit sad, filled with a lot of gloom.
Looking at the moon and gazing at it so dearly.
Like if it was you, looking back at me so kindly.

I wished we had a talk,
Even non sense would have sufficed.
Exchanging laughs and smiles,
Starting the day off, filled with cherished hearts.

But, it is not the way it used to be.
We simply exchanged greetings.
Like a simple cycle with no complexity,
Part of life that was made empty.

You may call me like an intimate friend,
but that's just sweet words.
A hollowed up rock,
Doubtful and untrue.

Still, I can never judge you,
Knowing how it may end if I do.
But I know whatever happens it's for the best,
I can surely count on Him to do the rest.

Our friendship maybe a lie or a truth,
But I am happy it did exists.
Knowing you and even sharing secrets,
Times that are lost but I'll forever cherish.

Like A Lily

As Christian's it is normal for us to face trials as we go on through life. The bible even tells us this:
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted - 2 Timothy 3: 12
Trials are part of our lives, and sometimes they drain us up to the bone. However, as we experience these events, it does not mean life is already over for us.

I have found a very nice devotional written by Michael Jones that tells us that in these times, in these great troubles...Be like a lily.

Ever notice the Lily?

A beautiful flower that grows, flourishes and maintains its incredibly delightful aroma despite the ugly and gloomy muck in which it is sometimes found to have sprung its roots.

WE TOO MUST BECOME LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL FLOWER!

Able to withstand the negativity, anger, spiteful words and foul attitudes others sometimes spew in our direction.

We must become like the Lily which retains its elegant and pleasant attributes regardless of its
 circumstances or environment. So when your weeks are tough, when they appear painfully endless and the darts of the enemy feels more painful with every toss, do what the lily does.

Here are some verses to enlighten you up!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Isiah 41: 10

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread - Psalm 27: 1

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. - 2 Corinthians 4:8-11

I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. - John 8: 12 

Hold your head up high and lean towards the light! CHRIST JESUS!

There are trials that are easy to win, and trials that will try to dry us up, but with the grace of God in us, we will surely conquer all of them!

There may be times that we lose some battles that makes us think to give up, but never forget, battles are just part of the war you are on. With God as your general, the "war" that you are in will always be a victory on your side!

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. - John 16: 33

Take heart, have faith and continue holding on!
BE LIKE THE LILY :))
