My Life Begins 2019

2019 is when my life begins again.

Looking back at my life's time-line, it's been a series of events that I'm grateful God had orchestrated for me. It may be a life is absolutely not at par with human standards, not even close and I am glad.

My journey against getting rid of materialistic longing is not without many struggles. We need money to survive - pay the bills and buy food and other physical needs.

Matthew 6:31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

I have learned to value what I have and since I was a kid I have been taught by my mom not to waste anything, but make the most out of them.

I learned not to worry about what I wear - I can wear whatever I feel like wearing-although I still sometimes say "I don't have anything to wear!" My IG ecofriendlycatlady is where I document my OOTD.
I rarely buy clothes-probably just 2-3times a year for one clothing item. I usually buy not because I want to buy them but because a friend sells them and needs to earn.

I don't go shopping because I will just end up buying things I don't really need and that will just add to the clutter which I don't like. So far I have lived without a TV for several years now and I have learned to delay gratification in many ways. I have a very simple life with (near) Mt Banahaw in the view.

Mauban:House Visit September 2019

Ate Vilma and Kuya Lando are the disciples from Mauban that we visit about once in three months on a Saturday, and share the Bible with after lunch with their children and grandchildren.

House visits have been both challenging and faith building for me because there is really a need to encourage one another so that we will not forget about what God had done in our lives. I have seen many times in house visits, how easy it can be to forget about God especially when we are far away from the body and we cannot take Communion-a very important part of worship where we get to be reminded of Jesus' sacrifice, his body and blood poured out for us.

Hebrews 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today," so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

Teresa Dalahican: Outreach Program 2019

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Matthew 18:3 And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Being childlike is different from being childish. Christians are called to have childlike obedience. It is important to becoming mature. Mature Christians are capable of giving and self denial. They can put others before themselves.

The childish are selfish and puts thelselves first. It will be hard to reach maturity with this kind of attitude.

This year, a kind hearted sponsor who wanted to help her relatives and their community, reached out to us to spearhead an outreach program.

We started with visiting the relatives and getting from them a list of beneficiaries, mainly children. We prepared a menu that will be catered by the relatives - the source of their income.

The games consisted of Corner Game, Paper and Stone, Hoola hoop and Animal Sound.

Lucena:Quezon Premier Hotel-ICOC Quezon 8th Anniversary

Sermon by Bong Aquino

Quezon Premier Pavillon

Acts 13:36-37 "Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.

Psalms 105:8 He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,...

*We can be a blessing to our own generation by doing the will of God within it.

*Serve the purpose of God in your generation

Live in such a way that you make an impact

Fight to stay pure if you are to serve God

-resist the call of drunkenness

-resist the temptation of immorality

Fight for souls
-it is hard to fight family ties
-it is a salvation issue

Why God sent Jesus here is to save souls.

Regardless of what people say fight for souls
Don't allow the culture to mold you into its image

Friends - find out what God's will is for your life
Don't be afraid to find out what God wants for your life, it is for the better


1 Corinthians 15:20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Romans 8:10-11 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

1 Corinthians 6:14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.

2 Corinthians 4:14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.

Since we are following Jesus - the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep

He is a trailblazer, first century disciples are not afraid of death

Thank you all for coming!

Communion Message and Testimony by Father and Daughter Christian and Jao Segovia
John 17:9-13 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.

Benevolence msg. By Father and Son Danny Cabadsan

Lk 8:3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

2 Corinthians 8:2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.

Phillipians supported Paul

What they have in common:They didn't have much

We have only given what you have given us Lord

Psalms 145:3-5 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

Jesus is what every generation needs
declare your story


Remember the story of his people
by Dennis Valdelleon

Psalms 78:5-8

Psalms 78:6 so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.

Love for children
teaching children about God

Strive to be consistent in your quiet times
When you mess up, repent
God is writing our story

Proclaim the Glory of His Kingdom
By Mike Corpuz

Psalm 145:4-13

ICOC-QUEZON Missionaries 

Lucban, Quezon:9th Wedding Anniversary

This year, we went to Villa Elma. Based from stories, government officials used to go here in the lenten season to have a retreat in its hey days. It is located at the foot of Mt. Banahaw, the mysterious mountain.

I always wanted to go to the beach on our anniversary,but we were still pinching pennies so we opted for a cheap alternative-this serene place with a little trekking.

The place was sprawling, with hanging bridges, via dolorosa steps,viewing deck overlooking Mt. Banahaw, picnic grounds, parks etc. I waded through the stream, but the silt surfaced as I walked and it became murky hahaha. They say you can go swimming there, just pay extra-well I wouldn't do it.

Our marriage is not one without problems. We actually had quite a few misunderstandings these past months from the mundane day to day tasks to future directions and what have you.

J and I are Mars and Venus but God keeps us united. I try to change my attitude that doesn't please God like getting super annoyed, frustrated or angry without explaining why-I can't be feeling these things and keeping it to myself-because it will just cause bitterness of heart. In a marriage it is important to communicate and it is hard if I feel frustrated because there is no way I could talk to J properly. So, we have to sit down with M and R to sort things out sometimes and hear another perspective.

We take the Christian lifestyle seriously so I have realized through the years the importance of the community of believers as God designed it-and marriage is the picture of God's relationship with his people.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
