Outburst of Fun!



What actually happens in Color Manila Run?

A LOT OF FUN! It’s really the biggest obstacle fun run in the country, last July 30, 2017 at McKinley Hill, Taguig. Over 120,000 runners participated in various franchises; biggest number to date.
They have options of choosing between race kits:
1. Deluxe - Php 950.00 includes a white race bib, sunglasses, finisher’s medal and color packet.
2. Trooper -Php 1,500.00, includes a colored singlet, race bib, sunglasses, finisher’s medal, color packet, drawstring bag and head wear.
3. Challenger - Php 1,850.00, includes black singlet, race bib, sunglasses, finisher’s medal, color packet, drawstring bag, head wear and a finisher’s shirt.
1. It’s a great way to invite new friends to run.
However, due to the huge number of participants this year, it also contributed to killing the momentum and excitement of the fun run because you will have to wait for your turn for at least five minutes before you can do the challenge. But then again, all is well that ends well. You just need to enjoy every bit of it. Races like this is a great venue to introduce running to friends and relieves. Run with them, and pace them, maybe give them tips along the way.  
2. You don’t really run… seriously.
Honestly, in races like Color Manila (unless you joined the 21K distance), you don’t really “run”, well not seriously anyway, the race is designed so that runners take mandatory stops at “color stations” to play with colors and activities within the area. But since this is just our first Color Manila Run, the group took the 3K category and race becomes even more challenging because of the obstacles on every goal you passed. So, I guess better choice on this fun run.

(Yhwh) our God Cannot Lie

Trying to take my mind off any racing thoughts. But it doesn't work, still wide awake. I realized it's already midnight, so I tend to pray again a little, return to bed. Staring at the dark ceiling, toss and turn, then noticed it's been already an hour since I last checked the time.       Thinking of something deep, seeking God for clear answers about matters of heart.  Asking him like, "really Lord, you said yes, and this is for real?.... But why it seemed I don't see any signs?", "Did I heard you right ?"  or "Am I only getting impatient?..." Then it is even getting harder to catch a sleep.  There are times that I sincerely prayed for something, committing all my strength to wait on it, believing  that I heard the Lord clearly with the confirmation of the Scripture. But there were days that doubts start rising, and not always in the mood to praise. Times when all of the sudden, I simply want to stop and tell God, " did

Expecting for Rachel

Based on the story: When Jacob Marries Leah & Rachel Genesis 29:14b-30 As a part of God's promise to his grandfather Abraham, Jacob was guided from the very start. He was clearly told by his father Isaac all the instructions that will help him on his journey.  Being one of Laban's closest relative and because of his diligence, he was given an opportunity to ask for anything, a reward for his goodness.  Most of the time, God allows us to ask for something we desire to have; but at the precious time like this, He initiates us to ask for anything. God knows everyone's heart especially when we are serving him with love. His graciousness is at its best if he allows us to ask or petition for something we deeply desire even though he has greater in mind.           In  the story, it is visible that Jacob was fell in love with Rachel. As part of agreement he have to work for seven years for Laban the father. Jacob did not mind the span of time, he

CHOSEN

Sea of Galilee God chooses and we have choices, He is Sovereign, and we have freewill. In the Old Testament, Israel chose to reject God, so He chose to send His Son to redeem us from sin.  When Jesus came, He did so as a suffering servant, not a conquering King. As a result, God's chosen people look different than what's expected. Our greatest desire is to be chosen by someone who is far more wonderful than we could imagine, infatuation flirts with the object of its affection, but true love longs to be with the one it has chosen.  Jesus made a decision to die for the undeserving so He could satisfy our heart's desire to be chosen by God, so it was Jesus desire to glorify God & satisfy our debt by making the decision to die for us . I'm just thinking what does a chosen person's life looks like? The chosen person doesn't have to fake his influence, like Jesus, He doesn't have to fit in with the religious crowd, he just withdraw, He leaves. Jesus is extendi
