Sisters In Faith

This is a love story. But a slightly different one. This is a love story between me and the Lover of my soul. And here is a list of the things that my Lover in heaven has done to me as we both journey in the (insert country here). He pursues me like no one else. His love thrills me every single time. I can't help but to share it. I used to think that love stories are only for two human beings in love with each other. Not until my Lord Jesus wooed me like never before. He told me, "I'm going to show you how great my love is for you! This time, when you think about 'The Greatest Love of All,' you'll think of no one else but ME." 1. My Healer and Protector There are four seasons in (insert country here) and it is so different from the sunny and rainy days in the Philippines. Whenever the weather changes in the Philippines, it is regularly expected that I'll be under the weather too. But when I got here, never have I gotten so ill comp

THIS IS A STORY FAMILIAR TO ALL OF US AT THE DARKEST POINT OF OUR LIVES. I HOPE YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF AS THE WOMAN AND YOU ARE THE ONE BEING CONDEMNED IN THE STORY. I DID. AND IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW LOVING, FORGIVING AND MERCIFUL OUR LORD JESUS TRULY IS!  ------------------------------------- "I am so ready to be stoned," I thought to myself. As I was dragged to the temple, I knew it was the last moment of my life. I was about to die the most excruciating way of death I have ever imagined. Stoned to death by the people who hate such an immoral person like me. And I KNOW I DESERVED IT . I deserved to be stoned to death for all the mistakes I kept on doing. I was an immoral person. Even I cannot stand my very own presence. I tried to stop this, but I can't. It was holding me down. My own sins imprisoned me to this mess. And there was no way of going out. No exit doors for sinners like me. I deserved death.  But there He was, teaching at the temple. The priests

"I am a God of faith and I'm going to honor your faith." "I'm going to do it swiftly in my time." - This is part of the prophetic word I received this year. One month has passed since the Lord answered my prayer.  I'm writing here in (insert country here) as a proof that God is truly a God of faith.   Five years ago, I stood up in church, claiming God's heart for me to serve Him as a world missionary. I had a chance to be part of a short term mission trip three years ago. But my desire to serve Him globally has not quenched even after a few years of serving Him in my hometown. I knew I had to step out in faith and do something so I can fulfill His plans for my life. I attempted to work in Singapore to become a tentmaker last year but to no avail. This year, I was given another opportunity to trust in Him and work out my papers for a job opportunity in China.  Imagine a continuous work out in the gym for six mon

“The symphony he is composing includes minor chords, dissonance, and tiresome fugal passages. But those of us who follow his conducting through early movements will,  with renewed strength, someday  BURST INTO A SONG .”  – Philip Yancey, Where Is God When It Hurts It has been a week since it all came down to finally putting an end to all the confusion. Done! Right there! Freedom given. Freedom received. “Let go.” His words were. So I did. You let go a lot earlier than I did. I had to have myself in the right condition before letting go of that string attached to your heart. You were freed. And I, too, was. A part of me felt relieved but a part of me wanted to take everything back. “We could have been something,” I thought. But I had to remind myself to trust in the Lord… to trust His words… to keep my faith. Sometimes I find myself thinking about what went wrong. At times, I ask the Lord “Why?”… But every time I try to figure things out, the Lord tells me not to. “Stop try
