General Cleaning so strict; open communication; when our heart cries etc..

Today is good day, why? I didn't get out from the building for almost whole day, my hands and back is start hurting again, but good thing the company gave ice cream social event, and it was fun to talk with co-workers under the sun, for at least an hour and talk to them about bible and what our believes. I also recieved calls from Rhea May and Gema -more spiritual encouraging that they will be pioneering this July. I cant wait for next week, they will come and visit orange county then go field service next week during our C.O. visit.

It is a general cleaning day as well at the house. At last! My Aunt gave back the steam vacuum and all of us, follow the cleaning schedule for year 2008.
Living with my brothers and parents are kinda tough, strict- but I am always happy to see them in that way. I miss my Dad being strict when he was still healthy, but my brothers are now fulfilling these roles now. They wants everything organized, from house cleaning, backyard, car washing, cooking schedule, laundry schedule, and specially on the bills and auditing of the finances. In this situation, I do not have any complaints, because fulfilling the major responsibilities at the house is a good training for them if they want to have family in the future. Right now, we enjoy so much the spiritual benefits that my parents and siblings provides, safeguarding the bible moral standard, material things and trainings. I guess Filipino culture, strong family ties are still there, the rules is if someone get married, they have to leave the house.

Tuesday is necessary that all of us need to be home as early as possible. The kids growing up, my parents are getting old, so the meeting helps to gather all the important things that all of us need to pay attentions. We have to opened up to tell all the problems that everyone experiencing, finances, the plans for weekends, upcoming visitors for this month, vacations schedules, and what the goals they want to pursue. The good thing for open communication within the family is we always remind members of the family to pursue the right things and the goals. In addition, if we see that someone is doing differently and going on the opposite way. Many hands will pull them back on the right track. We always remind each other that the "word of honor" is very important and this should be carefully think and examine his/her self before to speak to other. That if he/she says this or that and we all agree because that is for his/her own good and on bible principles. We expect a that each of us will fulfill what he/she says, promise, and spiritual goals so he/she gain or preserve the trust of the whole family. Seems it is a perfect family, huh? Not always, of course there always been times that disagreement and fighting inside the family, but we learned to focus on the solutions to the problems, be positive, and focus on good characteristic of each member. In additions, if we always reminisce the happy moments and struggles that we have been through. We can easily solve this, in fact we do not want to waste the happy years we been together, harmony and peace inside the house for just a small fight or disagreement, dissapointments. Most important this should never be an excuse to be rebellious and should never stop us to serve Jehovah do His will as a family.

To my Ate and Kuya that Married and have their own family now (Eunice, Lance, Dave, Ailyn, and Rachel) I know you already fulfills your role in family, but me and the three bugoys (Abiath, Joe, Nathan) want to share the plan that we are trying to work on as soon as possible:
Mom and Dad need to retire as soon as possible. We know that before they got married they're been pioneering for many years and of course today is the time for them to go back in full time field ministry. Life is so difficult when we came here on 2002, and was sad that we have to get through on that hard times and start from the scratch, just to live here in America. Hey! Nevertheless, Jehovah blessed the hard works the 3 bugoys and me that been through. Looking back then when we are all together, on the eyes as a kid, everything seems perfect for me. However, as we grow we start think deep, take responsibilities, and strive for a goal. Sometimes we forgot Jehovah, but Jehovah never forgot us. In the times, that the family has no material things, no job and reputations breakdown, we're still together and we always ask for His help, truly He listened every time our heart cries thru prayers if anything that will affect one’s relationship to God; anything that will affect one spiritually.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us - 1 John 5:14

i cant continue anymore.. I'm sleepy. Good night, Next time again.
