Celebrate joy!

Hello everyone! Good morning! So many events are happening left and right because it's Christmastime! This is my favorite time of the year -- something about the cool air, twinkling lights everywhere and the smell of delicious food we've grown to love just make me feel giddy like a child. A few of our regular events at church are on break  so we can spend more time with our loved one but we're also cooking a couple of more events just before the year ends. I've been sick for days now, so with my hoarse voice and 2-minute interval coughing, I do my best to be at my 100% at the ministry. I woke up today, feeling better so praise God! Hopefully tomorrow, I will really be at my 100% health! This past week, the theme has been gratefulness. Thanksgiving to God for everything He has given us and for the people around us who made their presence in our lives a blessing.

Yesterday was quite an eventful Sunday for us at church. A storm hit the Metro so it was pouring early in the morning which made roads unpassable. This means 1 thing: Church and volunteers attendance will be low. We had to holler at our social media groups to make sure everyone's safe (that's top priority) and to fill in the gaps to make sure that our services won't be affected. Our senior pastor's wife was about to give birth so he had to assign another pastor to lead the 3 services in less than 12 hours' time.... we also have a guest speaker and his family from KL whom we need to make sure arrives in time for the afternoon services and is well taken care of all throughout the day... Needless to say, our staff viber group was brimming with updates yesterday! :P  And just as we were winding down on our 7pm service, there was a brownout! Odiba! Haha! I imagined there was a momentary shriek from the crowd tapos sakto, Holy Spirit pa yung topic, ang series  title ...

Sundays are the busiest for me... Like last night, all I wanted to do was lie in bed when I got home. :P I am physically and mentally spent that I am knocked out by 10pm  at the very least every Sunday! I think last Sunday I slept at 9pm and woke up at 9am the following morning! Whoooohoooo! Jackpot na 12 hrs of sleep!!! But it's so much different a year ago... I was in total peace last night because I may be spent but I was certain of where I am. And I am glad to be where I am at this moment. Questions weren't clouding my mind as I wonder what my next step would be. Basta ang gusto ko lang matulog, yun lang naman ang concern ko kagabi . :) I was talking to 2 girls yesterday during the 5pm Preteens service and found out that it was their first time to attend. I was so elated as I found out that they were there just because they wanted to... They weren't brought by the parents, they weren't forced to be there out of a school requirement... they were there becaus...

Good morning! I was off social media for a good 5 days and now I am back :) Did you miss me? Haha! #feeling 5-day fasting is done for the start of the year, so I can eat solids again. Yipee! It was real funny actually, because out of the 5 days, I had to attend 3 birthday gatherings, so bye bye Greenwich, Amber's and Buddy's foodie feast :( I cringed a little when my office mates were happily munching on the pansit habhab at Buddy's because it looked really good... but it's okay, I know it's going to be worth it and a commitment is a commitment. Liquid fast for five days. No turning back.
