I wonder why God amazes me so much. He just keeps on pouring out His good news. He keeps on reminding me that He is enough. That He alone is my strength. That in Him alone I can find my heart. He knows every bits and pieces of my heart. He knows me so well that is why He is telling me to just trust in Him more and more everyday. Cause in Him, I can hold onIm one with Jesus. And now, I just want Him to lead me where He wants me to be. Where I can be used powerfully. by Him. and through Him.
Blessings:
: Since Ive been here in Manila, God has been faithfully blessing me. Im now staying at the mission house while having our M06 (Missionaries of 2006) training.
: Im going to Tanzania, Africa for 2 years. Glad to be part of the East Africa team! God is sending me out. I dont know why but this is a great opportunity and privilege for me. Im not worthy, I have lots of fears. this is something new. but I just continue to trust in Him. on the side note, Im allergic to the yellow fever vaccine (they only gave me a waiver), which is another frightening thing. a high risk. but then I remembered the day when Jesus send His apostles out. He said not to bring anything. And I just realized that Im going to Africa without any protection at all. with nothing. whew! Just as one good friends told me, more time to trust God more and more. He will be working in me more. Cause He will protect me more. Do not be afraid.
: Excited for the mission. but at the same time sad as well, for I will be leaving my family, which I love so much. but again I believe that God will purify me and my family's heart more and more during this mission. God will take care of my family and me. abundance, here it is. miracles!
: yes, miracles. God will be showing a lot of miracles. I just know and believe in that. Especially for Iloilo. 3i will happen! I believe. to my Iloilo friends, I will be praying for and iloilo. I know you can do it.. with God by your side, do not fear.
: YFC Vatican 2. this was a great experience.. we are at the Glory of the Garden, Antipolo. This was a time to enhance and do something about YFC. To update or change the manuals. yfc is already 13 years old and we cannot feed a 1 year old member with a 13 year old manual. so, we have to enhance it in the way of our times.. just like the Vatican 2. everything that happened that time was a glory in the garden. Really.. God just spoke to each and everyone of us to what He wants to happen in YFC. The new manuals now are so exciting. =).. just wait.
: CFC Conference. whew! Gathering about 20,000 people in Clark Expo, Pampanga. Im so amazed on how God is using CFC. grabe!. one thing that touched my heart was when the M06 were pray-overed during the praise fest. This is it!
: GK Bayanihan Summit. it happened in Ateneo. Archbishop Lagdameo was there.. and He shared about His passion for GK. At the same time of His plans for GK in iloilo.. I was touched because I know that there is a future for Iloilo.. that 3i will really happen. That God is now working in this province. That God will really show to the world how Philippines will rise up from the 3rd world to the 1st world.. and Iloilo is part of it.
: 2nd Missionaries Conference. Baguio, baguio, baguio. so cold in baguio. everytime I take a bath, my face went numb because of the cold water!.. haha. they don't have any heater at all. hahaha. The conference is another blessing.. I recommitted. I knelt down and worship God. I surrendered my all to Him.. He just told me to walk with Him. to carry my cross and walk with Him =). another speechless experience.. it cannot be written down in a detailed way.. because it's in the heart... my heart.
: Baguio shopping.. hahaha after the conference, shopping in baguio was another funny experience.. I bought 2 jackets.. which the one I liked best was left in the bus.. =( huhu well, I think it's not for me.. goodbye P200.oo. hahaha Anyway, we also watched a movie in baguio. I just enjoyed the whole shopping galore. God is just amazing.
: Now, back in Manila.. back to the trainings.. back to the CFC center. But then God is just as awesome as ever. He just is. Our trip to Africa is tentatively set at the end of this month. We'll be staying for a month in Nairobi, Kenya then off to our mission areas. hmmmm. Will I be ready, Lord? I know I will. you'll be there.
... And Im awaiting for more of His surprises... He has lots of it...
