Little Moments

....is the theme of month.... big moments are great, but it's the little moments that get u there.

so what happened since April 27th?

well in short,

Basileia '10 happened

Challenge '10 happened

Philippines Missions '10 happened

Officially in my own place in 2010 happened.

new aspirations, new beginnings, new goals, new bills.....

change. monumental, feeble.

this morning i woke up at 4:30 AM in my new place, and went to Astoria PArk, which is right next to my place.

caught the sunrise, and i sit there reminiscing on His faithfulness...PSalms 77, psalms 119, MAtthew 6, Isaiah 61 rushing through my mind onto the paper.

Philippines fresh on my mind. EMC Dagupan. EMC International. Tita Virgi and fam. Davidtol, Shem, Pastor Ferdi, Youth Explosion, Mayor Lim, wake.....

i miss it so very much

"my guide is reliable and my mission is clear", is what im focusing my mindset to be.

worship in the Philippines w EMC Dagupan was not only free but freeing.

they've taught me so much and showed me even more, what worship in spirit and truth looks like apart from the bondages of being an American or what worship looks like in America.

with nothing to lose and everything to gain whereas in the states it's the opposite.

we hold onto so many materialistic things here in the states its hard to let them go and follow Christ.

financial stability, promotion, position, popularity, etc...

Basileia taught me to let go....

Challenge taught me to give...

Philippines taught me how to receive...how to live.

i know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.

i've had Christians support me, and even non-believers extend love and financial support towards me.... and their investment or giving has not come back void.

as i come back into the states and am bombarded with new challenges, temptations, opportunities... my "mission" becomes more clear.

i was not made for here.

Worship + Justice = purpose/mission.

i don't know how long the Lord will have me here, but until then.... i pray not for success, but for faith....

i'm a servant before i'm a leader...

i'm a sinner before i think i am holier than thou.

i'm loved by a King and so is he/she/them/they.

encouraged by a sister in Christ who was encouraged by the word of God:

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go"
