These are my doodles. aren't they cute? 

Every Thursday and Friday, youngsters from all over the city gather to praise and worship God through a fun-filled event called Lifemixx. It's where teenagers from all walks of life (regardless of their beliefs and religion) gather to honor God and make disciples. Yesterday, like any other event in the church, was no ordinary day. We've tackled about Worship and Work - lead by Kuya Jano. For everybody's convenience, we'll define both. Worship is delineated as someone or something that takes most of your time, effort and consciousness. Work, on the other hand, is an activity that is set to accomplish something.

In Colossians 3:23-24, it says there that we must work with all our hearts, work for God and not for men and work because we know we'll receive a reward from our Father. Sometimes, we work and sometimes, we rant but most of the time, we do both. However, the word of God says that we must work joyfully and pleasingly- with no hard feelings. What would you feel when your teammates work but they don't do it excellently? Horrible, right? Well, think about what God feels when you work for Him but you feel burdensome? Try to reflect. There are also times when we work joyfully and pleasingly not to gain God's praise but to gain that of the world's. A man's praise is deceiving but God's praise is genuine. Always remember that. Lastly, work because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord- His kingdom. Apart from that, we must also strive for excellence and rebel against low expectations since our God is an excellent God. Sometimes, people rely on grace alone thinking that God would still favor them if they do things unfavorably- like passing a school project the day after the deadline. But grace is our ally- it helps us more if we put in more effort.

REFLECTION 

I've realized that I should not settle for less. Well, people expect me to do things at the minimum but I should challenge myself to always give my best shot. I'll strive harder to gain higher grades and to manage my time wisely. With God, I know I can refresh and improve things. And, I'll continue to do those things that honors my Father.
