Just About...

Sorry for neglecting my blog lately.

It's a combination of being busy, as I hit the ground running last Monday. Meeting after meeting as soon as I arrived at the office. Did not even have the chance to show up at my consultancy for that day.

Compound that with being under the weather yesterday. It was a good thing that I only showed up at a short meeting near our house while I attending to an essential errand because of two things. First, that meeting showed the way to a potentially big case. Second, I would have been stuck in traffic due to the UP Centennial celebration had I went to the office yesterday.

I was feeling better later in the afternoon but I'm feeling worse right now. I have barely enough energy to blog and I have a ton of paperwork backlog right now. Hopefully, I can muster enough energy later to finish it all, attend to my government consultancy and show up at the office today.

I need to focus. The current finish line is nearing.

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
