   hapi that I’m the first one to post a comment on this issue..

   h! Bro. Bo..

   actually,I’m just 14 yrs old…and I’m totally amazed by bro. bo’s preachings..tnx po for waking up my catholic christian life…the spiritual aspect of my life has been well molded while I am reading your books and articles. I know, circumstances are ahead of me,but I don’t care..I have God’ s backup and your preaching will surely contribute in every triumph over trials and challenges..no matter what happens, I’ll stick to being a christian and a follower,a servant and a friend of our Lord..

   tnx po tlga..Take care and God bless..

   Bro. Bo,

   I know the feeling. My husband and I are likewise here in the US for a short visit and it seems a lifetime already since we have left our 3 boys (we only brought our daughter coz the fare’s too much). I mean, if we could only afford it, we would have brought the whole gang (we’ve got 4 kids). Anyways, thing is we’re just maximizing our time here w/o the kids. We have done a lot of soul-searching and other stuff we wouldn’t have normally done if the kids were with us — like read and re-read books by Echart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Joe Vitale, etc.

   I love all your teachings, Bro. Bo. You are actually our Catholic link to what we are into these days … the Law of Attraction.

   I will be blogging more about your teachings so more people will be evangelized. Our family is with you in your quest to bring back family values, as well as to make more Filipino millionaires. Do you have any widgets for me to post on my sites?

   Pls visit our family site www.jmjfamilyenterprise.com

   Thanks

   Bro. Bo,

   Very, very inspiring. My sentiments exactly.

   You are so much like Nick Halik, the guy who started “The Thrillionaires” and inspires people to make their lifelong dreams a reality. His dream is to make 1 billion thrillionaires, just like your dream of making 20 millionaires by 2020 (did I get it right?)

   You should probably be in the club yourself … make it international where more people can be touched and reached. Watch his video here at http://www.tiny.cc/nick705

   I hope all your readers would join Nick’s community. I’ve got big dreams for Filipinos myself.

   More power!

   Oh Bo… your blog didn’t make me laugh.. it brought tears to my eyes…It really is painful to be separated from our loved ones..there was a time my daughter Chelsea went with my mom to Fontana for an overnight stay, yes, just an overnight stay…. it was the very first time i got separated from her..that night i cried myself to sleep..i just missed her soooo much! That’s why i understand how you are feeling…three weeks! gosh! parang eternity na iyon!!= (

   Mahirap, Masakit, Malungkot, Just think how painful it is na mawalay sa mga minamahal in two years and 2 months vacation is not enough.May mga bagay na papawi ng pangungulila pero pansamanatala lang. Kailangan mo talaga strong faith at kayanin mo lahat para sa mga minamahal mo at para sa Diyos.

   Babalik ako sa Pinas para makasama ulit pamilya ko at ang magiging pamilya ko. Makaksama ko na silang bumuo ng pangarap namin.

   Hi Bro Bo yeah I know the feeling…. its really sad, painful when you are separated from your family…. like me Im a first timer OFW I’ve been here in Abu Dhabi for 10mons I left my 1 yr and 8 mons son in the Philippines. I know na ngaun nya ko mas kailangan and its painful for me as a mother to leave my child but I have to sacrifice for him and for our future… this the only thing that I know para mabigyan namin sya ng magandang buhay…. kailangan kong labanan ang homesick…. if you will see the walls beside my bed para na syang album I post his pictures on the wall…. ganun talaga! everytime I see his pictures it reminds me to be strong and more inspired…. like the way your blogs are doing not just for me but for a lot of Filipino’s out there… thank you for inspiring us… more power….

   Peace, Brother Bo!

   Such an inspiring blog entry. Truly, the Lord has given you an opportunity to write for his glory and to inspire us. May his Name be praised!

   True, the Lord made good his point: “it is not good for man to be alone”. he wishes us to live with the people important to us, and also to Him who created us: Family, friends, benefactors, and even enemies. To live in harmony, according to Saint Augustine, “is to give glory to the One who gave us companions”.

   I pray for you, Brother Bo, that the Lord continue to use you, in spite of your loneliness, for His glory and for the well-being of our souls.

   I wish you God’s blessings!

   Pius XIII, Pont. Max.

    Hi Bro Bo,

    I have been your follower for more than 15 years. I have subscribed to the Kyregma magazine through your outlet here in Cebu “The Shepherd Voice” in SM. Until last year I have no problem regarding the subscription. This year was a disaster. I renewed my subscription last December and I got hold of the 4 magazines Jan-April magazines only when I told them I would be withdrawing my subscription. After that I received my May, June & Aug subsrciption thru surface mail. But until now I haven’t received my July, Sept, Oct & Now the Nov issues. I wrote in your website to complain. I haven’t received any reply todate. The in charge here in Cebu told me, that they don’t have any control of the distribution anymore because it is already centralized??

    I am totally disappointed with this arrangement, that I am planning to stop my subscription this December. I am glad that I have your teaching in the facebook, at least I can get your inspirations. I hope you could do something with the subscriptions here in Cebu. I heard I’m not the only one complaining.

    By the way I am a member of Couples for Christ and your support to the GK is heartwarming. Thanks or being you. You inspire us to serve more.

    8 years of following Bo Sanchez books, newsletters and conferences– i would say IT’S ALL WORTH IT! (Thanks to my “soon-to-be-priest-friend-that-time” who encouraged me to read what is inside that book which Bo Sanchez have written)

    My family has always been my inspiration. I missed those days when we talk-over-that-long-table for dinner; Beach on Sundays; Movie on a Friday night and shopping madness during Christmas (I’m pretty excited though to go home for holidays..yippee!) This article made me think that, despite the decisions we have made to be away, for the reason that we are trying to build our own dreams and to be separated from what they call “comfort zone”, it is always important to keep the communication lines open; to rekindle the fire; to fill what needs to be filled; to continuously appreciate and love each other despite the distance. Embrace the thought that you have to let them miss you at times, so it won’t be that hard to admit the fact that you can’t be with them every single day—with that you will realize your worth too=) Say you love them, let them know you care; I think the best thing you can give them is your initiative to let them know that you’ll always be that person they want you to be–”A man for others”– even how far you are from them;

    Way to go Bo..God bless =)

    Yes, indeed the pain is so bitter.
    I am still trying to gather my wits and faith to trust not in my own understanding but in HIM.
    My husband is in Doha for the past 3 months, first time for our 7 year marriage.
    My 6 year old daughter is verbalizing these past 3 days that she already misses her dad. She asks me if her dad will be old and grey when he returns. She is trying to understand the concept of one whole year before she sees him again in the flesh.
    Yes, only by God’s grace can we see this through.
    Hopefully, I do not cry everyday by then.

    Hello po tito Bo,

    I’m here once again and as usual I’m so inspired with your article. And I can relate to this one too coz been working abroad for 5 years now and i haven’t been home for 3 years,huhuhuh. I am already very giddy to go home, but I am still waiting for my visa to be fixed. Please pray for me tito Bo.

    Thanks a lot and keep on inspiring us!

    Hello Bro Bo,

    I Just received a message from my home inthe Philippines that my mom was in the hospital coz she had a mild stroke. I was upset because I was not there to take care of her. I am miles away from her right now… I am totally sad and i am searching for a refuge, and i thought about you. Gladly I saw this article, a very timely article about what I am feeling right now.
    Actually I want to see my MOm but I dont know if I can make it since I committed to stay here months earlier.
    I hope I could choose the right decision. To go home or not to go home…. Pls Pray for me…

    More Power to You..
    You are such a Blessing to everyone…

    I miss my family too.I come from a family of 10 children. I am also far away from home. My only remembrance of home is my sister who is with me here in Dubai(thank GOD). Imagine how hard it is to leave that many loved ones home. Nakakamiss pero carry lang. By GOD’s grace I am able to cope up. God knows why I am here. He knows the desire of my heart and that is why I am here. He is making all things work for my good. I am blessed. And I pray that everyone of us will be blessed. Declare and claim that you are and you shall be. To GOD be the Glory!

    hi bo, my husband leave us for better work for him to sustain our needs and better future, for 9yrs of marriage, got 4 children 8 yrs,4yrs,2,yrs and 9months…it was more painful on his part to be away from us and live alone while working. It has been a week now and yet it seems too long, He refrain from txting or calling on my celphone coz he cant manage my txt and call coz i keep on telling him i cant do it without him and that makes more harder for him. But everyday he send his txt to my 8yr old daughter’s cel than mine. So i guess this is God’s way of purifying me coz i have been obsessive to my husband. I have been living into anxiety and depression since he left and he keep on saying that I should be strong just like what he did. Pls pray for me for and for my husband for guidance and to learn to trust my husband as a whole.

    dear Bo,
    the last time I comment here was May 29, today is June 13, 2010…
    I am a little bit recovered now, have overcome the loneliness and weakest point. And what makes me strong is the as I have read some of your Blogs, hope is always there with me. Right now my husband has been txting me nor call us already. Everynite we chat, since his duty was from 11pm-8am, I tend to be with him online while working, so It is like the he was just with me…When i feel asleep, i sleep and in the middle of early morning, my body clock would wake me up and then still my husband is there online, when i talked to him he send me the links of his work and let me see how beautiful they are. He is a web developer in one of a BPO company. What I am waiting now is the right time, plan of God for me and my kids to go after him and live with him there. Indeed God is good, I have been complaining before and yet God has all the reason why he has to let my husband away from me, coz i need to change myself and be with God again with my faith now, I believe that one day my husbands dream for me and my kids will come true. Thanks for all your blogs, God is Good.
