2 Timothy 3

New International Version (NIV)

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy

10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Just A Thought: Am I just being too theoretical?

Woke up at 5:30 in the morning yesterday feeling a bit lazy. But I know I had to get up, prepare and get the last requirement I need to teach in a Public School. That is the NBI Clearance. While I was filling up the application form, I noticed a woman who kept on glancing on my form. Feeling irked, I looked at her and said "Yes?". She then asked me what a middle name is. I suddenly remembered those days I got to experience teaching old folks in a rural place in Quezon on how to fill up a Bio Data you can buy in a Sari-Sari Store. Or the difference of middle name and middle initial. Yes, as simple as that. Years of working and dealing with literate people made me forget the bliss I got when a mother of six successfully finished filling up her own Bio Data after our simple "tutorial" at her home.

I was teary eyed. I admit, I have a very low EQ. Anyway, I would like to believe that it is God's way of reminding me about my dreams. It's like He's there saying I am on a right path and that's the point of getting Non-Formal Education for my masteral. 

After taking MATE last August 29, I had a hard time convincing myself that I chose the right field. It was like Passion VS Security. Passion - I have always wanted to teach in not the ordinary way. I have this desire to help adults, out-of-school youth from rural places and those with disabilities here in our country who have no means in going and learning in a formal school.  But that also means staying in a rural place and basically just giving and no taking. If you know what I meant on that. Security - master SPED or Special Education. That's self explanatory but for those who are not aware, you can earn up to $60,000 a year if you're a SPED Teacher in the U.S. of A. And I guess you're correct. When you have this major, better apply abroad for higher salary. (I think that's a common knowledge.) But I.DONT.LIKE. the idea of leaving this country and my family.

Next scene supports that idea. Where? Cashier.

I was paying the NBI processing fee and the cashier, for no reasons at all, said "Dito ka lang ha. Wag kang aalis." and so I answered, "Opo. Dito lang ako. Hindi ako aalis."

Now tell me. Am I just being too theoretical or these are the signs?

Well I prefer the latter. :)

Just A Thought: Posible.

Gusto kong maging guro.

Sa Pilipinas.

Sa liblib na lugar.

Yung hindi ka lang basta guro.

Yung tipong isa kang life-changer.

Ayoko mangibang bansa.

Ayokong magtrabaho para sa ibang lahi.

Gusto ko dito.

Gusto kong makitang unti-unti tayong umuunlad.

Lalong lalo na ang antas ng edukasyon.

Pero gusto kong yumaman.

Gustong makabili ng sarili kong kotse.

Makapamasyal sa iba't ibang bansa.

Maitayo ang pangarap kong bahay.

Mapag-tapos ng kolehiyo mga pinsan ko.

Posible ba yon?

Ika nga ni DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo, mahirap yung naitulak ka lang ng unos sa ginagawa mo. Mahirap yong walang benefit ang talent mo. Not so many choices. You take what is given you. Yun ang naging buhay nya. Masuwerte na rin daw dahil overachieving pero ayon sa kanya, parang may kulang pa rin.

2 months and 3 days na akong unemployed. Okay pa naman. Hindi naman siguro ako pabigat sa bahay but at the same time, hindi rin ako nakakatulong.

Today, Jindra, we believe God wants you to know that ...

you've got what it takes.

God won't give you more than you can handle. Although there may have been times you thought the world was caving in on you, you got through it. You are much stronger than you think and with God's power, you are stronger than you can imagine. So charge ahead, you can handle it.

Just A Thought: Best [space] Friends

I am one of those people who give no credence to the word "bestfriends".

It's so mainstream and overrated.

But I would like to commend these two friends that I have for more than 13 years now.

They are my best [space] friends.

They're like siblings-from-another-set-of-parents.

They are the one who doesn't ask why.

And they never oblige me to explain.

They knew it right away.

They truthfully understand and they always lift my spirit.

Me, Ma-Ann & Jeff

I love you guys.
