Rainbow Bridge - The Creek


THE CREEK
‘Up the creek’ is an idiomatic expression that means a difficult situation. Rough, sweaty, heavy, challenging, severe, tough. When you cannot overcome, you begin to lose courage. You faint. You shirk. You evade. You quit. You cry.

The creek maybe narrow but it is something effortful to cross especially when you are tired and drained.

THE CREEK. THE CRY.



Rainbow Bridge - The Cable


THE CABLE
There is this structure that carries a pathway over an obstacle such as creek. Engineered and built with two-parallel load bearing cables where the deck of the bridge lies. Cable because of its great tensile strength. Technically, tensile strength is the maximum amount of stretching a material can withstand before it tears.

We feel so stressed and strained and wonder if we can withstand the weight of our trials. But God knows exactly our limits. He provides bridges and gives strength and comfort in times of need.

“The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” (Nahum 1:7)

THE CABLE. THE COMFORT.


Rainbow Bridge - The Commence


THE COMMENCE
The long journey is commenced by a single step. Take that step. Keep on. Be strong and of a good courage.

Faith is the bridge between where you are and where God wants you to go.

THE COMMENCE. THE COURAGE.


Rainbow Bridge - The Conclusion


THE CONCLUSION

Fight a good fight. Finish the course. Keep the faith.

Romans 8:18 says, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

THE CONCLUSION. THE CERTAINTY.

COMMITMENT SPEECH SAMPLE

It was August of last year when my niece asked me to help her making a commitment speech for their induction program. We tried at least to become relevant – August is Buwan ng Wika, so we decided to use most of it in Filipino; she loves Mathematics, so we agreed to use and relate Math as her introduction; she is not actually fluent in English (and she admits that), so she practiced her pagka-maka-bayan kuno! 😁 Below is the full text of her speech and I found it saved on my laptop. ****************************************** Our esteemed Guest speaker, our active School Principal, Faculty and Facilitative Staffs, Fellow Officers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant morning to one and all. Hayaan po ninyo akong gumamit ng wikang Filipino bilang bahagi sa pagpapahayag ng aking talumpati sa umagang ito. Ngayong ika-anim na taon ko sa paaralang ito, naisip kong paano kaya kung wikang Filipino ang gamitin sa pagtuturo sa asignaturang Sipnayan a.k.a. ...

Another Filipinos' Battle Cry (Election Reflection)

(With the culture and lifestyle that we have, something fascinates me with the past. I am learning to love history.) It has been said, "Change is coming!" I am wondering why the face of P5 coin has been changed.. Pagpaparangal po ba ito sa sinasabing totoong UNANG PANGULO NG PILIPINAS? Two icons of the past. The one was called Supremo and the other was El Presidente . Both with great influence. The one was a brave 'leader' and the other was treated as an 'idol' by his followers. Both dreamed for Phillippines' independence. The one led for Katipunan, a then secret society that ignited the flames of Phillippine revolution against the Spanish empire. The other was a capable general who waved the Philippine flag and declared the country's independence on June 12, 1898. He later brought Filipinos to Intramuros, just a step way for liberty from colonizers. But at the very moment that he needed to be strong and cunning, he chose ...

You are beautiful!

(Just a personal musing) You are beautiful. You are like a princess staying inside the castle and patiently waiting there your prince charming.  You are not fearful. You chose not to go beyond the boundary because you know you are not deprived but secured and protected. You are courageous. You are brave to obey in staying inside because you trust and believe. I am sorry if you are waiting that long. I look myself unworthy to be called your prince. I am wounded and weak. I have not engaged in a battle before where this kind of valor is a prerequisite. I kept telling myself that I am a warrior. I do not trust on my chariot and horses. But I am waiting for that day that they will bring me where you are. I am waiting for that day that I could tell to you that I will not promise you to be the best prince charming in the world - our story will not be a fairy tale and fantasy. I am waiting for that day that I could boldly say to you with God's grace that I will stri...
