My wife picked me up from the train station, and since we just moved to a new house, she was not familiar with the route home yet. She missed a turn, and we laughed about it. Instead of turning around we just continued the road we took. There was a shopping centre nearby, and we figured we could go through the mall’s p

I saw a post about my favourite PBA player and it was all about how lucky he was because of his new girlfriend. HIS NEW GF!? I was shocked since he had a wife and kids. I did a quick google search and found articles about him going through marital difficulties that affected his game. I also searched for his partner on

I saw a video about an old man who shared a story about a guy eating fish. So he asked the guy “Why are you eating fish?” The guy said, “Because I love fish.” The old man then said, “So you love the fish so much that you killed, boiled, and ate it? You don’t love the fish. You love yourself.” He went on saying that thi

I browsed Facebook while waiting for my train and saw one of my colleagues from a previous company get a new job. It reminded me of what I felt when I bid farewell to my co-trainers in the college I was teaching in. Funny how you know you’re doing something better and still feel sadness. It also reminded me that nothin

While browsing Facebook the other day, I saw something different on the section where you usually find your “memories” or old posts in the past years. I got curious so I checked it out, and it was a video entitled, “Israel Otto Manalo, 2018.” I watched the video, and It was a compilation of the posts that gained atten

It was the NBA Western Conference Finals. My favourite team went against the defending champs. At first, I only wanted my team to avoid a blowout, and they did that. I knew I should be proud of them already, but It was game seven of a best of seven series, and we had home court advantage. No one thought we could make i

I missed two church services because my baby was sick. When he got better, my family attended worship, and we had a blast. The worship team played like it was a concert and the message shared that night was spot on. It was so good that when they asked for people to stand up and go to the altar, I went. I felt so blesse

Higher is a platform where people can tell stories that share positivity and good vibes. We have a God that cares and we want to know Him better as we become like Jesus.

"Do not follow your heart, Follow the conviction of the Holy Spirit." In a world full of selfishness and pride, denying ourselves and choosing to follow God is very difficult, but not impossible. I remembered what our guest speaker in our church mentioned last Sunday, the speaker said that people nowadays only love

Matthew 2:18-25 18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgr

I will declare that we are going to make the most of 2019 and start acting on the dreams that God planted in our hearts. The journey towards the realisation of our breakthrough is long and hard. If we are going to be successful in realising our goals, then we have to manage our expectations. These are three things I w

By faith, this is what I believed to have happened while I was sitting in a company conducted workshop. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Stir up your God given gifts and step into the vision that I have laid upon you. Be ready for change and inspire others to take part and prepare for what’s coming.” This mess

Sometimes the days go by so perfectly that it feels like the moments of comfort and joy have no end. Even the mundane duties work out to our ideals— we wake up on time, we meet our deadlines— and feel so grateful to God for all the blessings that He has given us. All of a sudden something happens— it could be somethin

I was able to reflect on the emotional and psychological roller coaster that I’ve been going through these past few days. To better explain what I got out of pondering on the events that happened, let me tell you a story. My family planned a five-day vacation in Melbourne, and I told myself I would make the most of this time away from work. And I did, my time in Melbourne was excellent. The place we stayed in suited us ideally. There were a few setbacks as expected with any trip, but they…

If you’re a basketball fan like me, particularly a fan of the NBA, then you know what goes on with the talk about the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). If not I’ll give you a bit of background. Fans, media and players would love to share their opinion about who is the greatest player who ever played the game of basketball.
