Fifth at the Feast!

Kakatuwa naman that for the past months eh may mga flashbacks ako nakikita.. Like yun dating CG head ko kinasal na.. Yun mga ka CG dati ko masaya. Tapos eto lang nakita ko yun bulletin na nakafeature yun CG namin. Tapos yun LST na nakakatuwa na natapos lang last week. All of these moments were fun and yet solemn. Especially I'm in this great community for 5 years! Oh God..

Faithful Thee

Wow, just celebrated earlier 4th of the Feast PICC seems made me old. Hehe Ah kahit namis ko around 4 months na di makapunta ng feast and CG due to some errands and trainings, parang wala ako namiss. =)

For the past 3 years I never thought na ill be move into joining a community, more so participating events. Hahaha Serving as well. Like in my previous posts, marami na nagawa sa kin ang LOJ and it seems nagiging close pa ko kay Jesus. I still consider myself an infant into growing in faith. However, as I grow or the relationship with Him, there were things happening that I didn't expect na good or bad coming soon and yet I still feel blessed. Kahit minsan eh nagiinggit or I feel down myself na di ko naachieve eto or bakit ako di ganun, parang after sometime, ok na ko. I'm fine and weel through reflection, prayer and works.

In those 3 years, nalaman ko na din yun pasikot sikot in the community even the topics discussed whether its modified, rehashed or reinstated. Minsan nga one talk eh naisip ko, parang nasabi na yun sometime eh. Hehe O paranag narinig ko na yan somewhere. But hey, God's love is always constant. His word can be interpreted in so may ways but it will be always has the same meaning. =) Do not be afraid, continue to believe, and love life!

Kamiss na din magCG. Hehe Ah kahit ako eh head na, mukhang di pa ko ready. Haha well sometimes Jesus delays some task to give time na prepare. Ika nga its your availability, not ability. Eh sakto nga kasi this time of the year, may mga changes mangyayari sa kin kaya salamat delay muna. Pero I don't like delaying too long. Let me serve. =)

I can proudly say I haven't reach full renewal yet. Yes gaya ng sabi ko, infant pa lang ang journey ko as I grow in my faith, but Im very grateful that I really enjoying such road to conversion and renewal. Mahirap talaga lalo maraming challenges and temptations, even worries.. Nevertheless, that doesn't stop me to change my path.

I know that in this journey, I am with my savior, redeemer and shepherd.. Why stop now?

It's only the beginning. =) I won't be this firm sa faith if I missed that invitation 3 years ago. Now, I'm very grateful to be part in this ministry and looking forward in the future for greater glory that God prepared not only for me or even close people o kahit sa community, but for all of us!

Thank you to LOJ, ah from builders, preachers, ministries and all the servants. May we always be the Light to others by being like Jesus perhaps. =) We hope we can achieve the mission of a thousand feasts. Hehe From glory to glory...

One suggestion, I think in the PICC feast, hmmm we need a bigger place. A lot bigger. Haha

Oh God..

Beyond Second

Every Sunday for me, I always feel a first timer at the Feast. =) Then it became two years. hehe

Two years in a beat, I can't believe that despite sa mga nangyari for me, eh I still believe in a brighter day.

Two days from now, one workshop will make me, a servant sa community. hehe Never in the back of my mind before na not only joining in a catholic community but also serving pa. All I want before is just to see those writers sa Didache, like of course, Bro. Bo. =) Now, I have a pic with him, tapos nagpapirma pa ko ng libro niya. hehe

Along those years, I never felt na this optimisitic and laid back. Of course di pwede laid back sa work and other stuff, or errands, I mean pagkatapos ng lahat na pressure or stress, take a rest, give praise na tapos na at ayun sabak ulit. 

With LOJ, I met a lot of people, different classes sa buhay.. Thanks siyempre sa 2 CG sinalihan ko, one from Sis April then ito with Sis Mitch sa Call center CG. Ang dami ko nakilala at siyempre mga friends na din. hehe Sa mga outreach and activities na ginawa namin with those CG eh napasaya pa lalo being in a community and of course serving the less fortunate. Ah dapat pala bigyan ng malaking pasasalamat si Doc Ian kasi sa mga gamot na idodonate niya lagi tuwing humihingi ako sa kanya. =) At after these years, akalain mo nafeature na mga CG namin sa bulletin. Nasawa na nga ako sa pic ko sa the feast bulletin! hahaha Very fun yet proud!

Too many to mention to those people I've known.. Sobrang dami nila. hehe Sana we can still meet after the sessions, at nakakatuwa na halos sila nagseserve na sa different ministries.

I want to thank of course LOJ for the recollections, programs, hmmmmm KCON siyempre, lahat na natutunan ko or kahit minsan di na ko nakikinig dahil siyempre sa pagod or tight sked, I had fun naman. hehe I definitely won't forget the speakers not only made me laugh but also had a everlasting impression how to live with God's infinite love everyday. Naks. Deep. hehe

Ah to all the Feast builders, siyempre salamat for having that patience and boundless energy to make every session worthwhile. Hmmm Naisip ko mahirap talaga maging builder. Lalo na if you're targeting a certain audience or growth, due to expenses din, but they never stop. With the help of all the ministries, making the Feast sa bawat location eh one of the happiest place on earth! As they always say. =) Mahirap din maging role model, or leader to be exact for a community. Kaya kailangan natin din sila ipagpray lagi. hehe

I want to thank LOJ, for this wonderful experience, as time goes by for me, parang nagiging closer ako kay God, especially recognizing Jesus with the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is true na like nasabi ko sa isang interview, it helped to heal me, my past failures to move on na at higit sa lahat appreciate God's love. At nachange ko yun image of God that is merciful, loving and grateful one. 

Like now, with many unfortunate events, I never stop praying, serving at least and loving God because I know, these struggles won't be long, God's love is forever. =) Of course, minsan pagkapasaway pa din, pero now I'm motivated to do things for a change, and I know I can do it not alone, but with Jesus' promises and now with the blessing ng Holy Spirit, I can feel that whatever problems I face, it's not the end for me. Or even for us. =)

I feel that once now I serve for the community with a great work sked na.. hahahaha 

This is just the beginning of something greater that God has prepared for me. =) 

I can't wait for it. Just say yes to Him!
