Lex Sherwin Heruela Tabada-My youngest Son

My youngest son Lex Sherwin Heruela Tabada,was born on May 25,2007.He was so beloved to his late Lolo Romy Heruela;he fondly him Kaka.My father-in-law was the one who stand for him as a Tatay & Lolo at the same time because during his conception I was not around due to I was away for a living in the capital Manila.Then when he turn to 1 year old,I called them to met me in Manila because I was due to fly abroad in Dubai,UAE.Basically we only have few meetings after he was born,that's why he was so special to me,actually, all my children are all special but in a way,you know,i was almost away from this child of mine for more than 2 years.It's so funny when I arrived back home coming from my latest destination of life,he didn't even give me a glance or even hug me or talk to me,maybe for him I am so foreign,WHO IS THIS GUY KISSING MY MOM,BROTHER & SISTER,& GREETING ALL MY RELATIVES,WHO IS HE? I was more than touch about the way he act towards me,only staring me look like he was something ask about the situation.But to make the story short,right now he already adjusted and we are very very close as a father-son & friend relationship you can understand on.But it took time to manage the bizarre situation between us,what touch me so much when he called me UNCLE...HOY.....TIYO......LOLO......& other callings that break me so much.The Moral lesson here is,we father's almost to go for anywhere in the world just to find a living but unfortunately we have leave somebody who's so close to us,that will break us to the point that only crying on is our best resort such situation that comes along the way.TO ALL THE FATHER'S ABROAD I SALUTE TO YOU...KUDOS TO ALL OF US!

Hillsongs - Still with lyrics

Here I am to Worship (worship video w/ lyrics)

I learn to be STILL with HIM!

Sometimes in life I fill only to focus on my daily needs,like for instance our financial aspect.Coming from abroad in Dubai,UAE,coming from a retrenchment due to financial crisis on that place,going home only with few savings.I was so devastated after 5 months or so,that I was jobless try to find for a living with my wife and my 3 children.My financial was already fast depleting and so worried for my children needs specially school opening this year is at hand,their school's gadgets,I was so focus about our financial,that i was able to forget that there is much bigger than our struggles,our trials,our problem,and our disappointment in this life.I forget because i am so focus to my earthly need's,that there is a GOD who carry me during my very lowest moment of my life that i thought i can do it in my own strength,but i found myself so deeply disappointed,i was so troubled that somehow i was blinded about my real situation in this life the real purpose of it. our After everyday worship attended,my eye was open about it that to Be Still,let HIM do it for you,Believe and have Faith with HIM who form you from our mother's womb.Now that i found the real truth about handling this kind of hardship,even though right then i don't still have a job to settled out our daily need's,but i was able got a strength from within to face all this worthless material need's all,I ask myself are this kind of problem I was facing with,can denote the real essence of living?I know how huge,big and more powerful our GOD than all our struggle's combine.Sometimes in this life we are only focus on those unnecessary thing that we forgot that there is a GOD who love us so much.Be attentive to what HIS voice told you about,don't be disturbed to all this noises that surrounded us,Pray and be guided.Amen....Remember God is goo all the time,All the time God is good.GOD bless us Everyone
