DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY | Romans 12:12

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

In a world full of uncertainty, we are called to remind us how to live in our faith and trust through the sense of hope. In midst of challenges and hardship, prayer is the lifeline that anchors our boat saving us from drowning in deep sorrow.

Diffucult circumstances may lead to a dark state that takes away our optimistic anticipation. Hope is not passive but a positive feeling to believe what does God plans for our lives. Finding joy in hope is a reminder that there is a favorable side that encourages us to believe that hardships will shall pass and difficulties are not permanent. A purpose to acknowledge the assurance that God gaves us through our battles.

When affliction comes, it weighs heavily in our hearts doubting our faith. Together with hope, patience is the anchor in trusting that God is present on our suffering and preparing the better days to come ahead. Waiting for the storm to pass helps us to reflect and understand the reason of our pain and helps to grow strongers, resilient, and be more compassionate. Trust the Lord and be patient for he doesn't abandon his children.

Faith in prayer connects to the Lord, as we express our trust and dependance on God, pouring our hearts to him. Through prayer, our faith is restored as we draw near to God's heart, seeking guidance, strength, and assurance. It is through prayers that our trust in Him is deepened and strengthened.

Together — hope, patience, and faith is the foundation of steadfast life ensuring that we never lose our grip on the rope that connects us to the Lord as we handle trials on our lives. Let him be on the center for he will guide you throughout the journey.

FEATURE | To the stars through hardships

A grand gateway at the threshold of CSU-Andrews, standing not only as an entrance to the campus. An arc where every academic year begins, where the weight and the uncertainty of what lies beyond the familiar converge along. But as CSUans cross these thresholds, this stature becomes the start of 'becoming' something greater: of discovering not only what one is capable of, but who one truly is.

Stepping onto the grounds as a college student means walking on the unknown, of shedding the comforts of the past, and with each step, the weight of adulthood begins to settle in.

College life, much like a storm, begins with the delicate fresh rain. Freshman year, with its wide-eyed excitement and unburdened freedom, feels like a gentle downpour. The joy of new beginnings, the thrill of uncharted experiences, and the luxury of unscheduled time fill the air with anticipation.

But as the clouds darken and the storm clouds build, sophomore year arrives. It became a downpour of pressure, self-doubt, and the realization that the road ahead is anything but easy. No longer sheltered by the novelty of the experience, the weight of reality creates a paradox of emotions.

Then comes the inevitable crescendo, the junior year, an eruption of intensity. The storm grows fiercer as the stakes rise. It is during this time that the frantic pace of assignments, exams, and internships heightens, testing not only their knowledge but their ability to balance and prioritize. The familiar sense of overwhelm becomes a constant companion. It is no longer just about surviving the storm but about rising in it - stronger, more capable, and more determined to reach the other side.

After all, what if I tell you that they made it? They made it to the exit of the Parthenon. Despite the rage of uncertainties, they emerged stronger, resilient, and wiser.

In all its intensity and grandeur. Senior year is the final stretch, where the pressure builds to its highest point— the exams, presentations, research, and internship are suddenly behind them. The final hurdles seem taller, the stakes higher, yet this storm is one that no longer threatens to break them. Instead, it sharpens their resolve, pushing them to their limits and forcing them to confront their deepest fears and greatest ambitions. In this storm, there is no turning back. Everything comes together, all pressing down in a final, intense rush toward the finish line.

Every great story starts with a difficult decision. For many CSUans, the decision to enter the Parthenon—a symbolic representation of their greatest challenges— felt daunting, even impossible. Each step at the stairs felt heavier, as if their feet were tied down, making the progress even more difficult. The storm of financial struggles, academic disappointments, internal crises, and relentless pressure made them question whether to continue walking, as hope was washed away by the downpour.

Yet, they knew that no one would walk this journey alone. Even when the rain drenched their confidence, many people offered their umbrellas of support. Families, friends, and professors stood by them, believing that every entrance has an exit.

And then, at last, they did not wake up to attend early classes but to celebrate their most anticipated moment—graduation day. It is one that once loomed so large it finally fades into the distance, leaving only the strength of the students who endured. The gowns, the caps, the diplomas - They carry with them the tempest that shaped them.

The path to success often feels like going back toward a room in the midst of the unknown. Each step on the slippery floor feels as though their dreams could collapse on each lift of their feet, and turning back seems like the only option to avoid further suffering. Yet, their journey toward their dreams stands as a testament that perseverance and determination will lead them to the Parthenon, even when the stairs grow steeper and the exit seems impossible.

I told you they made it. Soon enough you’ll make it too, as the sky nor the star is no longer a limit.

Ad astra per aspera— to the stars through hardships. To conquer the unknown, and to reach heights once thought unattainable.

DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY | Psalm 118:6

“The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid”

As we approach our final examinations, it is natural to feel a swirl of anxiety and uncertainty. However, Psalm 118:6 offers us a powerful reminder: "The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid." In this moment, let us embrace the truth that we are not alone in our struggles. The Lord walks beside us, guiding our thoughts and actions as we prepare for these important examinations.

Now is the time to put aside our fears and doubts. Instead of letting anxiety overwhelm us, we must choose to cling tighter to our faith. We must focus on what is within our control—studying diligently, managing our time wisely, and maintaining a positive mindset. By doing so, we align ourselves with the divine support that is always available to us.

Remember that the Lord is on our side. He knows our efforts and our hearts, and He promises to accompany us through every challenge. As we sit down to take our exams, let us carry this assurance with us: we have the strength of faith backing us, and with it, we can face any obstacle with confidence. So let go of fear, trust in His guidance, and step forward boldly—knowing that success is not just about the outcome but about the journey we take in faith.

| Pasadong finals, cutie! Regular pa rin, cutie! 🤞🏻🧿

As the first semester comes to an end, let's remember the well-known Karamay tree among CAHSians. The "Wagwagen Theory," popularized by Dean Julius T. Capili, symbolizes the students' journey—when you shake the tree, the deserving ones will hold on, while the unfortunate ones will fall.

“Just like the karamay tree, if you love being in CAHS, if it brings you honor and glory to be with us, then fight for it. It is difficult, as it is difficult to be in the CAHS. Trust the process. It's not going to be easy but it's going to be worth it. You have a place in CAHS but you have to prove to us that you are deserving of that slot. Ipaglaban niyo ang pagiging CAHSian," Dean Capili once said during his speech at the CAHS Orientation and Re-orientation 2023.

This theory inspires students to persevere and study harder— para hindi mawagwag.

As we approach the final examinations, may everyone acquire the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in both written and practical exams. Many have witnessed your dedication and hard work to achieve your goals.

Let's give it one more push and go even harder! Mag-iintern at magiging regular pa rin this academic year! 🍀✨

DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY | Matthew 6:33

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

The world often pushes us to chase after things like money, fame, and success, telling us these are what will bring happiness. But this verse reminds us that real fulfillment comes when we focus on God and His ways.

When we put God first, everything else falls into place. It doesn’t mean we forget about our dreams or needs, but it does mean we trust that God will provide for us when we live according to His purpose. His grace gives us peace, even in a world full of distractions.

Choosing to live with God’s purpose in mind brings a deeper joy than anything the world can offer. So, let’s always remember to seek God first. Trust that He will take care of the rest and put him at the center of your life.

College of Allied Health Sciences (CAHS) faculty member Mr. John Dave A. Corpuz, RTRP, from the Respiratory Therapy Department, has successfully published his first poetry book titled Eternal Blossoms: A Five Dozen of Sonnets, which contains 60 sonnets.

According to Mr. Corpuz, the sonnets were brought together through his passion for writing, focusing on life’s struggles and triumphs. The book highlights the journey toward success and the realities of life that shape one's individuality.

"Eternal Blossoms was born out of the symbolism and wisdom of my deep love for the beauty of language and the complex tapestry of emotions it can weave. This collection is not just my story; it’s an invitation for others to explore their unspoken feelings and connect with the shared experience of being human," he said in an interview.

He also shared that writing became his passion because of its ability to express emotions and thoughts that are too raw to share, providing an opportunity for vulnerability, as well as its power to influence others.

"It’s a powerful exploration of the heart and soul, shaped by patience and vulnerability. I often liken it to gardening—planting the seeds of my thoughts, nurturing them with care, and watching them blossom into something that can touch hearts and inspire others," he added.

Furthermore, Mr. Corpuz noted that his trademark for his poetry pieces is the use of acrostic sonnets. These maintain the classic structure of poetry while conveying raw emotions, allowing readers to discover hidden messages within the vivid imagery of the poems.

"This blend of old and new creates a style that feels authentically me, and I hope it resonates in a way that invites others to connect personally. Remember, your unique trademark is not just a measure of your creativity as a writer but also an opportunity to share the power of the words your mind wants to express," he emphasized, highlighting the importance of genuine creativity.

Moreover, he stated that he is open to collaborating with other writers in the future to create meaningful art that resonates deeply and makes a greater impact, enriching the creative process.

"There’s something magical about bringing diverse voices together, each offering a unique perspective that enriches the creative process. For me, writing alongside someone who shares the same creative spirit, regardless of style or format, is a lifetime opportunity. It’s a great way to craft metaphors and stories that our pens are meant to unfold," Mr. Corpuz said.

He further encouraged aspiring writers to continue pursuing their passion for writing despite imperfections, as words expressed in writing can inspire others and provide a sense of understanding and connection.

"Write with your heart wide open, and let your authenticity shine through with touches of vulnerability and a perfectly imperfect yet creative style! Keep nurturing your passion, stay open to learning, and let your individual story unfold in all its beautiful complexity," he advised.

The book is described as suitable for readers seeking spiritual nourishment, navigating life’s struggles, and appreciating timeless poetry. It is available for purchase on Amazon.

DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY | Colossians 3: 9-10 (CEV)

'And stop lying to each other. You have given up your old way of life with its habits. Each of you is now a new person. You are becoming more and more like your Creator, and you will understand him better. '

In the book of Colossians where Apostle Paul urge the believers must begin in living as Christ- like. Where this certain passage tells us to forgo our old self and embrace our new self in the image of our Creator.

This new year is a chance to leave everything behind , our behavoirs and attitudes that hold us back in deeply following and fully embracing Christ. As students, this means embracing new qualities like kindness, honesty and patience, whatever each day offers us a fresh start to align ourselves Christ-like.

As we grow in our new identity, may we deepen our understanding and relationship with God. This new year is a great opportunity to reflect on our lives, let go of our old habits and let God be the center of your life — embracing our new identity in Christ.
