DID YOU KNOW?
- That the word 'BAPTISM' is the anglicized form of the Greek báptisma, or baptismós ̌ . These Greek words are verbal nouns derived from baptı́zō , which is the intensive form of the verb báptō ̌ .

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

MALACHI 3:8-10
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

KABANATA 43

Hindi ko alam na iyon na pala ang simula ng panibagong karanasan ng buhay ko. Nadulas lang naman ako. Hindi ko iyon sinasadya ngunit anong magagawa ko? Lumabas na sa labi ko, hindi na mababawi.

Lalo pat...

"What did you say?" biglang tumigil ang sasakyan niya sa gitna ng trapiko. Kung wala akong suot na seatbelt ay baka nabunggo na ang ulo ko sa unahan.

"I'm sorry," he immediately apologize but Isaac stared at me applaudingly. "I was surprised. Are you okay?" naging atentibo siya kaya hindi halos ako makahinga sa kaba.

"W-wala..." nauutal kong tanggi at umiwas nang tingin. My heart pumped faster than it could. Natunaw bigla ang inis ko sa kaniya.

His eyes narrowed.

"I heard it. You said something." He stated. Binitawan niya ang steering wheel at pinalaliman ako ng tingin. I felt drown in his stares.

"W-wala nga..." I stuttered. Pinagkukurot ko ang mga daliri.

"No. I heard you said something. Repeat it please. I want to hear it again." His voice where pleading, knocking my sleeping system and circulating flattery in my stomach.

Ngumiwi ako. Tiningnan ko siya.

"Naiinis ako sa 'yo?" ulit ko ng sinabi kanina, halos papusngaw.

Mas nagsuntukan ang kilay niya. Bahagya siyang lumapit para usigin ang sistema ko.

"No. The other one. The last words. I want to hear it clear." He said patiently. I swallowed hard. Nang-init ang aking buong katawan. I feel suffocated right now!

Umiwas ako ng tingin. Nagsimulang gumalaw ang trapiko ngunit wala atang plano si Isaac na magmaneho muli hangga't hindi naririnig ang sasabihin ko.

I heard him lowly chuckled. Malayo naman sana ang aming mukha sa isa't-isa ngunit pakiramdam ko magkadikit dahil sa kabog nang dibdib ko.

"Come on, say it please. Hmm." He whispered. Nagbabadya nang sasabog ang ulo ko sa labis na kaba.

Nangatal ang aking labi. My lips trembled. Sasabihin ko ba ulit? Gosh! Umuurong ang lakas ng loob ko!

Nang tingnan ko si Isaac muli, naghihintay pa rin ang paninitig niya sa akin. Nagsusumamo kaya halos kagatin ko mariin ang labi ko at dumugo na ito.
