Leaving my family and life back home was the
hardest decision I've ever made in my entire life. But for some reason I considered
this as a blessing from God. He knew what kind of life I was living back in the
Philippines. He wanted me to run away... away from a life that was going to be
miserable... a life that was not in accordance to what He really wanted me to
be (that is, living a life with a purpose). I considered living alone and being
away from home the starting point. God put me in a place where everything was
new, a place where I could start my life anew. Whatever came I learned to
depend on Him because I believed He brought me to Penang and therefore He was responsible
for me. I had the assurance that I was in good hands and that God would be my
refuge.
I finally found a “home” in June 2011. Out of
nowhere, He led me to a place I’ve been looking for for months. My feet brought
me to Eaglepoint! I was very happy because I found a place where I
could continue to serve and know Him more - out of the wilderness and the confusion.
He also gave me a family to make me feel at home, not far from the happy family that I left behind. I have a Life
Group composed of lively, happy and incredible godly women. God is awesome! Knowing what’s inside of me, He would speak to me through
every Life Group session. I'm
proud to say that I’m now heading in the right direction. Although there were
times that I stumbled, fell and became weak, I still survived because I believe
in God's grace and in prayers. I always declare God's favor.
Ate Flor inspired me. Her words and lessons
really brought home something to me. They made me realized why I didn’t do
certain things I knew I should have done before. I’ve learned how to live a
life according to God's way and not my way and understood my purpose (that is
to Glorify, Honor and Serve Him). I’ve learned that there’s more to life than
eating, sleeping and working. I realized that my life does not only revolve
around me and my family and closest friends, but it also involves other people
whom God brings my way.
God doesn’t want our lives to be wasted. He is
imparting life lessons and shaping our lives through Ate Flor’s sharing of the
Word and exchanging of ideas (on personal application) during our LG meetings.
I’m so happy serving God like never before. I’ve never been more
excited for Worship time and LG session than today. I’m thankful to the
ladies who became part of my spiritual life. I learned a lot from all of them.
May we all continue to serve God and stand strong in our faith whatever
happens. His love endures forever!
