We have started our next module which is Introduction to Home Health Care.
Sounds easy, yes…but it tackle medical terms which are very vague to me. New to me…
Anyway, everything can be learned.
Our clinical instructor is good; he is a she and a nursing graduate. He is fun!
I know I have been too silent…
Honestly, I can’t think of any words to write for the past days! I only read other’s blog and commented but zero words on my own page. Hmmmnnn…
I don’t know…maybe because I was relaxing my mind from the final exam that it went through…(our first module was done).
Though the result is good, I am confident that I got the high score but the effect is just so terrible…I can’t explain it really!
I felt like I came from a long journey and when I reached home…all I wanted is to rest my tired body.
Maybe…maybe not…my mind was just tired and wanted to feel the long vacation from school (holiday on Monday and our next module will start on the 22nd).
I know I felt this before…
Any idea???
Many people believe they’ll go to heaven because they tried to live a good life. Here’s the simple truth: Those who receive Jesus Christ’s gift of salvation will spend eternity with God. And those who refuse the gift will not. The price for rejecting God is eternal separation from Him.
When a person becomes a believer, he recognizes that he’s not good enough to deserve anything from God. Man’s sinful nature is characterized by rebellion against the Lord. It alienates him from his Creator. No matter how hard a person tries, he cannot avoid sinning again. That’s because he still has the old sin nature. But at the moment of salvation, Christ forgives all his sins and declares him no longer guilty. Then God gives him a brand-new nature.
If someone rejects the truth that salvation comes only through the atoning death of Jesus Christ, he has nowhere else to turn. His good works aren’t enough to get him into heaven, a place of sinless perfection. And his wrongdoing remains unforgiven. The penalty for sin is death. If Christ’s sacrifice is rejected, the guilty party must pay the price himself.
These words aren’t meant to scare you into receiving salvation. They’re a warning about the future if you reject the Lord. God has set before you a choice between eternal life and death. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 says, “Choose life in order that you may live . . . by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him.”
God is sovereign. That means He’s the supreme authority over everything, including sin and its consequences. Yet, He doesn’t cause anyone to sin. Doing so would violate His righteous and holy nature. But the Lord does allow temptation to enter our lives. And since we have free will, we decide how to respond. Thankfully, He retains ultimate control and weaves the consequences of our actions for His purposes.
Sometimes God permits our sin to run its full course. For instance, when the Israelites refused to turn away from their disobedience, Psalm 81:12 says He “gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, to walk in their own devices.” Without divine protection, the nation gave in to corrupt influences and ultimately was overrun. The Lord could have sheltered them from that outcome. But those very consequences drove the Israelites into repentance, which was His plan.
Sometimes God will put an immediate halt to sin. Such was the case in Genesis 20 when King Abimelech took Abraham’s wife Sarah for himself. The king had been misled by the couple. He was unaware that he was about to commit a sin. But the Lord knew, and He intervened.
Of course, the wisest plan is to completely obey so God never has to use either of these tactics. Temptation is inevitable. But sin isn’t. The Lord’s control over our lives means that any temptation must first pass through His permissive will. In this way, He makes sure His children are never tempted beyond their limit.
“Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.”
Our first module is English…British English.
Here are few examples:

We were given hand outs to read for tonight and tomorrow will be a long quiz.
Sigh…
Study! Study! Study!
Is repentance necessary in the life of the believer? Yes. And we see this critical truth in 1 John 1:9, which says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Now, repentance isn’t mentioned in that verse. But let’s take a closer look.
Remember, “to repent” simply means to change your mind. For unbelievers, this refers to a decision about where to find security. But for believers, it involves a change of heart in behavior or attitude. Repentance is an ongoing decision to lead an obedient, Christ like life.
In 1 John, this choice is represented by the word confess, which originally meant “agree with.” In other words, if you confess your wrongdoing to God, you’re coming into agreement with Him about that sin. Here, confession isn’t a matter of salvation. It means to allow God to continually reform your mind and mold you more and more into the image of His Son.
God absolutely hates sin. So if you agree with Him about sin, then you’re changing your mind about the disobedience in your life. Thoughts, attitudes, and actions that once seemed perfectly natural will no longer fit who you are. As God continues to work in your life, your mind will gradually reject old thought patterns. You’ll more closely represent His way of thinking.
Is there sin in your life that has become too much to bear? Confess it to God. Allow Him to change your mind about it today
Very true…I am back to school and today is my first day.
I enrolled at MMS Development Training Center here in Cagayan de Oro for a six-month of intensive quality live-in caregiver training. MMS is a technical-vocational institution duly recognized by TESDA.
As a student, I will be acclimatize to a variety of delivery system, which are of technological in nature such as role playing, conference, seminars, forums, fieldworks/on-the-job trainings and others. Our training program is segmented into classroom lecture, nursing skills demonstration and our lectures are given through modular type of instruction. There is also a 48 hours of Standard First Aid and CPR given by the Philippines Red Cross.
Earlier I have met my classmates, young ones, twins, a single mom, three boys, former DH from Hongkong, and a mother of one married to a foreigner. At first, everybody was silent but after the said orientation, noise covered the whole room.
I felt like a freshman, and after almost nine years, I will be dwelling with daily quizzes, reports and demos, happy to know that there will be cooking class too.
This is the reason why I will be no longer a SAHM…interesting, right? And it will be challenging because of the medical terms…very different from what I have learned in my engineering years.
Tomorrow is the start of our first module…well, let us see. I will keep you posted for this new role that I am into.
Caregiver – someone who provides childcare, senior/elderly and disable care.
We physically function in the present, but we aren’t restricted to the “now” in our thought life. Some people live in the future—always thinking about what’s coming next. Others live in the present and constantly process today’s events. And some regularly live in the past, which has its own share of problems.
It’s easy to get stuck in days gone by and dwell on old hurts and feelings of guilt. Sometimes it seems almost impossible to let go of a past mistake or error in judgment. When that’s the case, feelings of regret wrap around our minds like chains. They prevent us from moving forward and anchor us to feelings of condemnation.
Is this how Jesus wants you to live? Of course not. God hasn’t trapped you in your past. He came to deliver a life of freedom. And He wants to set you free to embrace a glorious future He’s prepared. So how can you get there?
First, you must face your sin. Don’t lie to yourself. Don’t deny it. Admit your guilt to the Father. He already knows about it anyway.
Second, you must be willing to accept His forgiveness. Otherwise, you’ll never really surrender your burden. He wants to carry your load, but you have to agree to let Him.
The third thing you must do to be free is to believe you have a future in Christ. John 10:10 says Jesus came to bring you an abundant, eternal life. You’ll never experience that rich life if you continue to drag around your old mistakes.
Are you haunted by your past? Lay down the chains of regret, and experience the freedom of complete forgiveness.
