Army of God.

"Where are you going?"

"FORWARD."

-Ratatoullie

We are moving forward. The army of the Lord is marching onward offensively. Conquering and overcoming self as well as strongholds.

We're in for a serious battle. Not won by human wisdom and self righteousness but won through brokenness, surrendered will and prayer.

Every hour is important. It's not the time to slack.

For the Lord has given His word, and our heart's only desire is to FULFILL it.

We will not surrender, we will not lose.

We are victorious and we carry the banner of Jesus. In every place, in every life.

Glorious times. Glorious, majestic, powerful times. :)

Dakilang Katapatan

Lord, thank you for your faithfulness. :)

Then Samuel Came.

For many weeks now, I feel that I was "in between things and events". I know that I'm leaving the things of my past and I'm now ready to face my future. The feeling is like entering in a tunnel, it's quiet, dark and cold. It wasn't really scary but the silence and the long walk creeps in and were attempting to numb the passion and courage to move forward.

I have received a call from the the Lord. It's confirmed by the word, the circumstances and "authorities". But I have yet to wait for the time and also for the anointing.

For many days, I've been praying for direction. Or for my next move. Or something that will quiet my heart. :)

Yesterday, Tita Nanette texted me that we have discipleship. I was surprised because I wasn't really part of her discipleship group. Saling ket-ket lang ako. Because I was already enrolled in Zion extension class here in Paranaque and Tita Oss is already discipling me. Pero syempre, si Tita Nanette nag-invite kaya pumunta ako.

I had an extra hour before the meeting so I had some me-time moment at the food court. I spent it in prayer. The Lord gave me Acts 9. It was the passage about Saul's conversion. The part that spoke to me was the Lord's instructions to Ananias for Saul.

I need that kind of direction. I need an Ananias or a Samuel who will help me with my "tunnel season".

Then I attended our discipleship group. Surprisingly, the group was composed of "new people". Then Tita Nanette explained that it was a new group. The Lord led her to form a new discipleship group since the first batch is now ready to be released. And we are the next batch who will be prepared to go to the ends of the earth...

Ang bilis sumagot ni Lord. Kamusta naman. :)

Then before we ended Tita shared that her spiritual name is Samuel, she will anoint Davids...and Davids are those who are called to be king-priest. Whoa. Medyo nakakagulat. But it the event was just a confirmation of my quiet time.

Last night she gave us an assignment, to pray if we are in for the call. It will be a tedious training and preparation...training in humility and preparation in the Word. :)

Exciting.. Exciting!

I prayed and the Lord answered. He's really faithful in working out His purposes in our lives. I'm excited for the coming days and months. I know that it will be a season of drawing near to the Lord and living an intimate relationship with my King. :)

Hallelujah! :)

God of Wonders

This song transports me to 2004. :)

Summer Camps

Praise God for the opportunities to be part of high school summer camps. :) IVCF invited me again to speak on Christian Discipline for the two camps held at Laguna. Though it wasn't my first time to speak on the subject, the Lord was gracious to give fresh and new revelation on the topic. :)

Secrets of the Secret Place

















Worship Time. :)

















QT Together. (Morning Devo)

















Meet my esbi kids. Billy (Head counselor) and Bcel (work period head).

















One special moment for me during the camp was when Raya, a camper, prayed for me after my talk. Her prayer touched my heart and encouraged me to continue seeking and loving the Lord. Wonderful prayer from a young lady.

Worship Camp
May 1, 2008 Jesus the Life Giver Church, Paenaan
Ascending to the Hill (Psalm 24)

This worship camp was really memorable. It was my first time to speak on a subject that I learned in the inner chamber which is worship. I'm not a worship leader but I am a worshipper.


















My journey to the campsite was full of faith igniting incidents. Praise God for the gift of faith, to walk even if I don't know the place...to walk even if I'm alone and to continue walking until I reached my destination to deliver His Word.

Lesson learned: Ask for the whole address. hehe


















Delegates were from slum areas in Marikina and Rizal. The camp organized by Pastora and young adults from CCF and was graciously funded by brothers and sisters from US.
















I met a lot of missionaries in the camp. Pastora, a woman I looked up to ever since I started in Sunday School. She's a woman of old age, with gray hair and has unceasing compassion for the poor. She's really an inspiration to me.

Also, I met korean missionaries who taught for the camp's workshops. I learned from them LOVE. Love for the land of your inheritance. I felt their love, passion and compassion for the Filipinos. :)
















Lord, thank you for these times of ministry.

You are at work in every corner of the world, every group and age and even to every person and nationality. And you want us to come as a generation who seeks Your face. :)

You are amazing! To you be all the glory!

Doodling Again

I'm back!

After almost a year of not posting here and moving there, I'm here again to update my doodling pad.

I guess my hiatus here was not only about moving to another blog but it was more on UNLEARNING a lot of things.

2007 was a year of 'unlearning things'.

It was my season of leaving my 'egypt' and starting a new journey. After college, I had a lot of dreams and plans and wishes for my 'spiritual journey'. I wanted to do A LOT of things for God, not realizing that God wanted to do A LOT MORE in my life before He will need my service.

Last year was really a testimony of God's abundant grace and mercy. Felt like an old wine skin that went through re-processing. It was hard, painful and humbling...yet it was worth it!

And now, slowly but surely the Lord is bringing me back to the same but more challenging road. Before, it was my own missionary journey but now, I am walking to the Highway of Holiness coming up to the hill of the Lord. :) A greater vision, a higher call from the Lord.

So I'm back here. To doodle my ministry updates and to record how His call will unfold and be realized!

Glory to the Most High who prepares those whom He calls.:)

Hongkong Missionaries.

Like I've said before, I get giddy whenever I talk to missionaries...and yesterday was another giddy-sunday for me.

Ate Ambs and I attended the New Member's Fellowship with Pastor Brent and Sis. Kim. We came in late because we had a signup booth for YA ministry at the lobby and we invited (more like kidnapped) those hard to find (and hard to invite) YA members of the church.

Since we were late, we sat with the 'white men'...or the foreigners in the church. I only knew Bro. Keith and his wife since we worked together during Kuya Bry's wedding. He introduced us to the two other ladies sitting with us.

They were Sis. Jacelyn and Sis. Cindy...the two missionaries from hongkong. Amazing.

Why amazing?

Actually, Ptr. Brent had been announcing them and their work in hongkong. They're here to collect contacts in Hongkong. And ever since I've heard Pastor Brent's announcement, I wanted to approach them and have a chitchat...I don't know anyone in hongkong, but I want to talk to them and ask them about missions.

But of course, my shyness (yeah right!) kept me from approaching them...

So I was REALLY surprised when I met them yesterday. They were really pleasant and nice. They started asking questions to us. (since, we were new members..) We shared how we were invited to Faith by friends and how we're enjoying the fellowship and the church in general.

Then, it was my time to ask questions...

I asked them about hongkong and how they will start the work there. I was all ears to every word they were saying.

It's like, listening to a friend who's re-telling a really good love story.

After their stories, I told them I also want to be a missionary, in Mongolia.

I saw their eyes widened...like seeing someone for the first time, or learning that the person infront of them was a royalty..haha.

They were really happy about it. They told me to share it to Ptr. Brent so he can pray with me. (And that made my heart leap and my stomach turn into knot...in excitement and nervousness.)

I believe that God orchestrates things and events in my life. And yesterday was not an exemption. I met Sis. jacelyna nd Sis. Cindy for areason. I may not know it now, but in time God will make me understand why I sat on that table with those two pleasant ladies.=)
