“It’s only Friday but Sunday’s coming!”

I got this line from Ptr. Paolo when he was talking about HOPE. I know I’ve been hearing this a lot of times that the God I am serving is a God of HOPE and a GOD of restoration. At times I know I just need to be reminded of this so I would be refreshed and encouraged to continue on being hopeful in God. Lately I have been on a roller coaster of sorts. It has been an interesting ride. I am so grateful that.....

Yesterday I bumped into something that’s not nice and it made me asked a lot of questions to God. The world is so unfair, a lot of people are so deceived including the ones that I love, and that hurt me.
