Done... At Last

Yesterday, Bob, Judy, Sarah, and I submitted the manuscript of eight Kalanguyaized OT books for typesetting. PTL for his grace and guidance to us for the past one and a half month as we worked on His Word. God enabled us to finish consultant checking the books of Joshua, 1&2 Samuel, Nehemiah, Esther, Daniel, Haggai and Malachi from March 17th - May 3rd. We are now looking forward to seeing it in print and in the hands of the Kalanguya people.

After that mindboggling Scripture checking, NPMTTA has a timely retreat; so today, I'm here in Bagabag having the 'sleep' of my life (hehehe).

I was disturbed (in a positive way) with the learning session we had yesterday taken from Matt. 21:1-11. This is about the fig tree that was cursed by the Lord Jesus for being fruitless. The speaker wanted us to check ourselves to make sure that our lives are bearing good fruits and not just beautiful leaves; to check our hearts because we might be so busy trying to look nice and good on the outside yet fruitless and joyless within...

Today, the speaker reminded us of the following principles from Joshua 1:1-9.
1. Remember God's presence and power in the past.
2. Remember God's promises for the future.
3. Follow God's prescription for the present.

Pray with us...
1. Margie's flight to Zamboanga on May 15th.
2. Bible Translation Workshop among the Southern Subanen on May 22-27.
- Pray for wisdom for Bong and Margie as they facilitate this workshop.
- Pray also for the participants...
3. Pray for Bob and Judy Ambrosius - protection and safety as they travel from Cambodia to Manila on the 15th and then to the US.
4. Pray for NPMTTA as we try to fullfill our goals and visions for Bible Translation in Northern Luzon and beyond.
5. Pray also for the Agta/Ayta Workshop in October: preparation of the hearts of the participants (Palanan/Casiguran Agtas & Abellen/Mag-indi Aytas), preparation of teaching modules, teaching staff, translation consultant and anything you can think of. :)
6. Pray also for Margie and Bong for wisdom and discernment as they decide on the next step to take regarding Margie's further academic training.
The choices are:
1. Ph D in Linguistics somewhere abroad.
2. MDiv somewhere in the Philippines then MTh in Singapore
3. MDiv to MTh in Singapore
4. Masters in Linguistics and Exegesis in CANIL
5. ____________, _____________ , ___________...

Thank you very much and May God's peace be with you all.

of big shoes and lessons

April 2001 I woke up early this morning and went straight to doing my weekend chores...like hanging a two-week worth of laundry under the sun (before the sun is up), afterwhich I went back to bed to do some reading. Three hours later, my mom came and said, "Men ina-no? Ollaw law!" (Are you ready? We're about to leave!") I was confused for a moment then I realized it's the first Saturday of the month and I need to be somewhere to teach. It totally slipped my mind as my mind was still all over the place from Xami's stay in the hospital and then traveling right after it and coming home again. I changed and put my things in my backpack and was gonna put on my shoes only to realize I don't have any appropriate shoes. I asked the hubby if I can try one of his and a pair looked not so bad as the others. So off we went with me looking like I have boats attached to my feet rather than shoes. I used the lesson that I prepared for a women's conferenc

ADDICTIONS

My addictions are weird but I think these are not unique to me.  I have three addictions and I am very glad that I have overcome one of them, at least for now.   #SUGAR_ADDICT  Over a month ago, I was probably one of the worst sugar/carb addict there is.  Since I was diagnosed with diabetes almost three decades ago, I went into a rollercoaster of dieting and fasting and binge eating.  I would weigh myself, get disgusted with what I see and resolve to eat nothing for a week. I would lose 10kg, then the following week, I would eat all the calories that I restricted myself from and more.  Then in April of last year I tried the ketogenic diet and it was working for a month or so until an aunt commented that I will get all wrinkly and saggy if I lose too much weight and my mind used that statement as an excuse to go back to my standard way of eating which has always left me feeling and looking bloated, inflamed, fat, and ugly.  It also aggravated all my health issues specially w
