Atimonan, Quezon:Playa de la Lucia 2016

Song of Solomon 8:6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

This year marks our 6th wedding anniversary.I consider marriage as a gift from above,I thank God I am considered a suitable partner to my husband.At times I really think I'm hard to put up with ...but my husband is just so good to me.I just pray I can be loving to him as described in the scripture above.

Metro Daet Christian Church Inaugural Service

It was a special day as Metro Daet Christian Church was officially inaugurated on May 15,2016.It was attended by nearby family of churches in the South Luzon region - Legaspi, Naga, Calapan, Laguna, Cavite,Batangas, Lucena and even Christians from Manila.

The day before the inauguration, the MDCC held a community outreach activity sponsored by Mrs. Lucie Aquino.There were parlor games for kids and gift giving for families in the barangay. The youth helped prepare the food items  Some of the parents for the activity went to the inaugural service the next day and heard God's message to his people.

During this trip, we had plenty of time to rest and the places where we need to go are very accessible.We can just take the tricycle to go to Bagasbas beach-which has a long coast line and very fine sand that you won't hurt your feet when you're jogging barefooted.It was very nice.We can also just walk to the mall from the hotel.The inaugural was held in the hotel's hall which is quite huge.

My Best Friend's Wedding

It's the perfect time for one of my best friends to get married! Finally!Well truly good things happen to those who wait...patiently in the Lord.

Hilde and I had known each other since I was a young Christian.She was my third discipling partner -after my dear Ate Meanne and Aimee.She had discipled me for quite sometime and helped me in my walk with God.I probably gave her a lot of headaches.She is known as a very encouraging sister,she even won an award as the Most Encouraging person hahaha.

a note for me 

she is so sweet

We even became house mates and had many experiences together. We had ghosts experiences in one house we lived in Cubao which was so creepy I wrote about it here . Then we moved again to another house in the same area where we had a big bump because I locked the door and went to sleep, so she was knocking and knocking but no one heard until Mitch finally woke up and opened the door for her!

When I won a raffle ticket for two to Bohol I went there with her because no one in my family can go.I was so knocked out tired the first night that I fell asleep right away. 

we're stoked

chillin

We also went to many friends weddings together most of which she was the brides maid or maid of honor of the bride ,including mine!We had a lot of fun!

Leadership Provision Lesson

The time to pass on the title has come...I trust you God.

I am currently reading a great book about discipling by G. Ferguson and I wanted to share it immediately to my friend because it is very encouraging and challenging at the same time.I am happy that it is something we can do in the church.It is really hard work and that is why Paul mentioned how he strenuously contended and labored for it.And it is for us to imitate.

1 Corinthians 4:16-17New International Version (NIV)

16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me. 17 For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

Colossians 1:27-29New International Version (NIV)

27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

---shows the extent of dedication needed to disciple others

Shelter, refuge and streams of water in the desert

The Kingdom of Righteousness
See, a king will reign in righteousness
    and rulers will rule with justice.
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind
    and a refuge from the storm,
like streams of water in the desert
    and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

Isaiah 32:1-2

Everything Jesus taught was designed to create a church in which people would be this faithful and this helpful to one another in real life, as Isaiah describes poetically. ---Discipling by G Ferguson pp31

I just came across this scripture and insight and it is comforting that I can see and experience this -- Blessed are my eyes Mt 13:16-17!!!

However, sometimes I don't experience it and I feel lonely ,but I can rest assured that even if the people are not around, He is with me all the time.
