Updates+ YouTube + UP +Discipleship+Summer

Yay! Yay! Yay!
 Ycah here (of course)!

After watching tons (?) of  videos of Janina Vela and Nate Punzalan (yes, I'm a self-confessed part of #Velafam and #punmily) on Youtube (check 'em out!), I just feel like blogging again (since I can't Vlog. But I really want to! Wala eh, no editing skills nor better camera yet. Yes, yet? hoho. So dito muna tayo).

What?Ang SABOG din eh noh?

I was just inspired by these siblings to just express myself kahit na sabog pa in my sight. Nate said, just release it and you''ll just get better at it. It uplifted me not just in writing blog posts  but also in writing my... wait.. what?

Case study? School observation report? Educ Journal Report? Critic paper? Reports? huhuhuhu! #studentfeels

Yes, this is my UP update. Can I just be honest?  I'm overthinking about  these things  and ending up being unproductive. They are always in my thoughts.. being  unfinished or not yet started simply because of having no idea how to begin. I'm having this struggle of "staring at the blank paper" kinda thing. Or honestly,  procrastination kind of thing? which is really really scary. It prolongs the agony!!! Please rid me of myself. *inhale *exhale #saveme

Been loving school life though.

 The campaign period started and it's nice listening to young people's advocacies. How brave! Ended up praying for them while listening..oh young people. Soon, you guys will also fight for the Greatest human right (wait what is it? Basically, people hearing the Gospel). I declare.

I enjoy learning Child Development! Yas.  Soon matatandaan ko din ang mga theory na yan. Huhuhu. Nice 'cause I have 5 year-old and one-year old cousins plus I teach kids once a month in church. What I'm learning  is really  helpful. How? Well, I love children better!! I don't know, but  ever since I took this subject my heart just beats and beats and beats for children  and their great future. And  it's nice to understand them and their development better. Oh, #nextgeneration

Minor kilig involves seeing Zorro ( he talked to me and pat my back!No, not that I have a crush on him though), walking from EDUK to OUR (pwede naman pala), makisabay sa car ng classmate going to Katipunan, madaan ang AS (Palma Hall) everytime pupunta sa school and my consent letter where I can read "Jessica May Padayao, a student of UP College of Education". #teehee #nuks

Next is discipleship updates! Just went to the "ENGAGE" conference last March 24 over at MOA  Arena. I was with Ate Cams Duhino (yes! Ate Japanese food (sukiyaki) with her. She's so generous..and I'm... I'm  so shy!!!)  and then we also met Kevin (such a blessing! He bought our merchandise!!Yas! New shirt!) Yay! We made it! We finished all the activities before the start of the conference!!

As always, I'm in awe. 12,000 Victory group leaders and interns in Metro Manila worshiping and having fun together??! WHUT?!!! Personally, I met and prayed for an intern from Victory Pioneer!

And .. shhh.. I got kilig too!

1. The thought of.. "Is my MOG here?" (Wow, if yes, we're in the same plaaacee?!!! And that's kilig right? MOG stands for Man of God btw)

2. I saw a guy! He's so familiar!!  Why? He was one of the Candy Cuties in Candy Mag in my time. Now you can see him in a Metrobank commercial  I think. Wow. Don't know his name though  #starstruck lang hehe.

My take home:

-Don't live a life of "do what I say but don't do what I do". (Practice what you preach, Ycs!)

-Do not lose your "SALTiness"!!

-Pastor Steve's new book - The Multiplication Challenge! (That's not a Math book, hehe)

Anyway, speaking of discipleship, I was over the moon when I started doing One 2 One with Wilma (my co-teacher). But then, we didn't finish yet 'cause she's leaving for Thailand soon and I'm .. I'm...:"( .
Still believing that God will grow the seeds in her good heart. :)

Alright, done with the UP and discipleship updates now let's have... SUMMER UPDATE!!!!

I'm thrilled and overwhelmed.  We'll have Junior Kids Bonding in a resort soon and also...

Beach. White Sand. Snorkeling. Star Gazing. Rock formations. Corals. Moana captions for my photos. Boat riding and above all, praying and hearing a Word together. That'll be next month for me. My heart is beating wonderfully against my rib cage you guys.

I still don't know if I'm going to register to PUP Alumni Summer Bonding and Singles' Camp 2017. I would definitely love too! As in!!! But the thought of spending my savings brings tears. Is it wise? What's the fine line between.. shortage mentality and "you cannot spend what you do not have|?" (ANO DAW)  Still learning.. learning.. learning...

That's it! Thanks for reading! For your next adventure, May you enjoy the Creator more than the creation my dear friend!

 Bye!

PS. I finished this post. Matatapos ko din ang papers for acads right? *puppy eyes

Every Company (VG in the workplace)

When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan.

For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. 

 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling.  

And my message and my preaching were very plain. 

Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 
                                                                                                         (1 Corinthians 2:1-4 NLT) 



Take a look at my last post. You'll notice that  I was over the moon back then when I had  a glimpse of having  group in the workplace , when I saw an open door, when I saw how God amazingly do it.

Before, I was just designing my "invitation card" like this:

And Ta- daaaa! It's really happening now!

                   After hearing the Good News!

I was praying and asking Daddy (God) last week  what I should share to our group in the workplace. And I am reminded of the most important message of all - The Gospel. I believe that it's the beginning and the foundation of this journey called Christianity.

I could just really feel the Holy Spirit moving through me and speaking through me at that time. It was such a powerful and amazing moment. It's so nakakakilig that I even bursted out in Facebook, "Yung season na mas nakakakilig na yung purpose and calling mo kaysa sa crush mo".

We started at the first Wednesday of May and it continued.
We met at Mcdonalds then in a food gallery. That's where I had a privilege to share the Gospel to the girls.Really praying  and now, I'm declaring that this wonderful seed in their heart will continue to grow.

Indeed, the joy of discipleship is one of my favorite feelings and moments. I think I'll do this for a lifetime!

Korean Ice cream after shift. Aww I miss Minerva/ Jhie!

Having a Victory Group in the workplace is a dream come true  for me and an obeyed command from Daddy God (He asked me to for more clearly last August 2015 and it's what, May 2016?). As His witness we just can't help but share what we saw and experienced. It's not easy but  it's worth it.

Here are some advice for those who have a heart to reach our their offices too  :

♥  Pray and Fast. Hear from God. Really seek His will for you, for them and for the group.
Really cry out to Daddy. More than you, He's the one who  really wants to reach out your officemates and friends!

♥  Try to have a spiritual sister or brother to co-lead the group with you, pray with you etc. It's really amazing how God let me know Heidi. She is my co-teacher who  also have the heart to reach out to our co-teachers! Prior meeting Heidi, Daddy  also let me know Ate Angelica. She really encouraged me to have a group in the workplace!

♥   Be ready. Set the time, place and duration. An opportunity to invite will come and you'll just know it's God who moved! Suddenly, you'll just be surprised that  your influence increased and people will just come and talk to you. But then, have faith with  action. Be engaging, be the one to talk to them too. Initiate. Be intentional. And don't forget! Discipleship is  a relationship.

♥   Believe in this. One of the primary way to make disciples is really a small group because here we don't feel alone with our faith. We can share our lives to others. We don't have to fight alone. We are encouraged also with the prayers, faith and praise reports of others. Believe that it can be used by God to share the most imporatant message of all --- that is the Gospel  and grow a disciple!


Actually, I'm also noting this to myself! I'm not an expert in this  and I know only  God made and can make things happen!

I declare that our VGs will help of officemates  to have spiritual growth and  a  deeper relationship with Christ!

Every company. Every Offices for Jesus! :)

Early days of Being 23

I was reading Ms. Patty's blog earlier and I'm just so inspired to write again about what's happening these days.. these early days of being 23.

Some of the highlights were my tummy's breakthroughs. Haha. I ate T-bone Steak and Lamb for the first time! I ate the steak during my birthday celebration with VF's over at Artsy Cafe. I loved it when I said "well-done" to the waiter when he asked me how I like my steak to be done. It was really delicious and it's fun to eat since I need to use a knife. HAHAHA. Ang babaw ko talaga noh?

Anyway,  then I ate  the Lamb kabab last  night in Mister Kabab  with Marian. We did our One 2 One there. It's a little salty for me and I just shrugged the middle eastern flavor (I'm not really a fan of that). Because it's a Lamb, I feel like maybe I could see one in person one day. (yes, I really would love to see one!) That made me happy and excited. So it's a fun experience too!


Next is, I'm loving Kids ministry these days. We just had our General Assembly last Saturday and it was really awesome. Great bonding time with them! Ah, too bad that I'm gonna miss the Christmas party this coming Saturday! (You'll know why soon.;))

Last Sunday, I attended my coaching group and my leader taught us about being a shepherd to our spiritual daughters. I realize and I know now that it's not really easy taking care of the sheeps. You really got to be careful. So careful. It made me more amazed with my own Shepherd that Jesus who laid down His life for the "maarte" "messy" and "dumb" sheep like me.  Oh Daddy, help me to become the shepherd that you want me to be for the girls.

One of my girls is having a hard time right now and I feel like I can't even help her. I feel at times like I'm not really being a good and wise leader. Huhuhuhu. But I can pray and remind her of God's truth and promises right? We'll keep on fighting.


Another thing that happened was during the Intercessors' meeting in PUP, I shared a Word to them for the first time! Grabe si Holy Spirit nun! Iba. Bongga. Ang galing! I shared the verse Luke 16:10 and Kuya Tim even thanked me for the Word!

I just really want to document these moments, these early days of this amazing year of my life. I decalre promotion in every way, to overcome struggles, spiritual growth, adventures and to bless more people. Happy Thursday!


P.S.


Feeling ko may dalawa akong crush these days. Hinahangaan.. ganyan. Pero kino conquer ko. Guarding my heart. Kung iisipin kasi .. having a crush or crushes is having unnecessary kilig, unnecessary pain, thoughts, hopes etc. Brothers mo sila. Friends. Let it go. Merong Tamang Panahon. Emotional purity, emotional purity!!!

Whew,  I'll just really be myself, enjoy Jesus, know and  do His purposes for me and bloom in my relationship with Him (that's the most important).  I'll just wait for MOG to have the courage to tell me what he prayed for and his intentions. Aja!

New things Sprung up

New Thing 1: Gabby in VSJDM

Gabby (my sister in Christ since college) announced that  this year is her last year in Ubelt (because we think that God is calling her in Victory San Jose Del Monte). And that is the start that things are actually changing around me now. It's honestly hard for me. Well, not really hard but a little painful.

 I could still vividly remember  our early journey in the faith. We served in the same ministry together (Ushering) and as we serve, we experienced being in Ubelt for the 3PM, 5PM and 7 PM services on a Friday. I miss being with her at the back waiting for our time to walk and collect the tithes. Our little kwentuhan here and there while waiting. Attending services together, reserving seats for each other, attending Leaders' Convergence or Discipleship events, praying together in PUP etc. Though I know she will always be there. May mababago pa din at may nagbabago na.

Nonetheless, I'm so so happy and so so proud of her. It's amazing to witness a portion of how God is molding her. Her heart for the youth, her heart of praying for other people, her heart to just really Honor God and make disciples. Grabe. I just believe that her heart and faith will bring a great impact  in VSJDM.

I'll just really miss her but I know she's just a text  or fb messenger away.



New Thing 2: Doing One to One again

I can't remember the last time maybe it's been a year and a half that I'm not doing it. Finally, this faith goal has been answered! And this time, it's unlike the ones that I did before. She's older than me, she's not from PUP, she's not a student ...etc. I can really feel and see the new season in the area of discipleship and I declare more. More. Not just more women to lead but more of molding in my part since whoa. Hindi biro ang bawat soul, bawat prinsesa na ibibigay at binibigay ng Panginoon. We can't  take this lightly. Grace is gonna pour out. His Holy Spirit will just really use me to minister.



New Thing 3: Victory Group for VG Leaders (part-time Coach? haha)

Really scarry. But I'll say it again, "Hindi biro ang bawat soul, bawat prinsesa na ibibigay at binibigay ng Panginoon. We can't  take this lightly. Grace is gonna pour out. His Holy Spirit will just really use me to minister. " New Spiritual daughters, new struggles, new encouragements, new love that I'm gonna give away. I was really nervous but God just encouraged me through the life of Gideon that He will defeat our Midianites too! Amen! I'm lovin' preparing now now for our VG. I think I'll really grow as I minister. Help Daddy!!!!


New Thing 3: Daughter's Fruitfulness


It's my dream to become a Mom and also to become a Grand-mom. It's lovely though that it's somehow happening now. Every time na may ipapakilala ang mga Daughters ko na mga ni ri-reach out nila or wina wan two wan. I really feel kilig. What-a-privilege indeed and I'm the happiest when my Daughters get to fulfill what God wants thejm to do. It's not out of obligation but out of overflowing love for the lost. Ito siguro and favorite new thing ko.


New Thing 4:  High School Friends in Victory

Emat, R-jay, Jenny, Rosette and Me. Who would've that we'll be in one church now and that we'll be prayer partners? Amazing God of Wonders (#princessinawe) I declare na hindi lang kaming lima ang ma eencounter ni God sa section namin nung High School but EVERYONE. Oh may He use us mightily.



New Thing 5: Singles Camp

Hehehehehehe. No Comment (na mahaba)  muna. Sa August pa ito but this is really something NEW to me. First Time it is. Feeling nasa Singles Ministry na talaga ako. I'm standing firm in His promise that I will be able for camp safely and there will be showers of blessings. :)


That's it folks. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes being in the midst of the changes and new challenges but I know He's holding me and He's the anchor for my Soul. Every time I would think of His Name, feeling ko kakayanin ko talaga. In Jesus' Name. Amen.


'til next season! 

When I'm 21

When I'm 21... (because I'll never be 21 again)


All glory to Daddy God alone. In every moment between of these events, He is there.  :)

On Missions and Submission

I always love the weekends. Especially the productive ones. I always thought that weekends are really meant to be documented. Yester
day was such a productive, meaningful and fun-filled one so I decided to write about it. Here's why:

9 AM. I attended the Worship Service with my Mom again  in Victory Ubelt after so many months! Lovely!


9AM. It's the world missions series again. This year, it's called "Uncharted". It's about reaching the cities of the world for Jesus. :)  The world missions series is so meaningful to me. I think it's always like that when there's a special date for me, laging natatapat na World Missions ang topic. Like during my anniversary of attending Victory and also during my September 2012 Victory Weekend.  My heart is beating for it now.


To the far ends of earth we go..Your love story must be told...

10:30 - 12:NN I ate lunch with my Mom. She told me that two of her workmates want to come with her in Manila (there's a possiblity that we could invite them to join us in a Worship service as well). and also, my Mom told me that  she's attending a Bible study every Wednesday now! WHOA!

12NN - 12:45PM I talked with ate Emme about some girly stuff that I have in mind. Like "Okay lang ba magpaganda? and "Paano mambasted?"

She told me that, it's okay to be beautiful as long as the motivation is right. It's like letting people see that the King of kings and the Lord of lords is taking care of me. "Si Lord ang nag aalaga  kaya blooming" (that's  what we are praying for na maging impact). And also, she asked if I'll look "manang" do I think other people would be attracted to Christianity/ in following Christ? No because they'll think it's 'baduy" or boring.  Be elegant not daring she added. Because we need to protect men's eyes from sinning. Be modest. :)

And when it comes to pambabasted, hmm bakit ko nga ba ito naitanong? haha. We'll naiisip ko talaga na I don't want to be rude when I don't like someone pero I know that I have the tendency to do something not nice. I think iiwasan ko na agad agad at never na ako makikipagusap ulit. Not even glance again once na nagtapat ang taong ayaw ko. haha. Ang samang thought no? on the other side, I also have the tendency to settle for less because I'm afraid to hurt other's  feeling. Lalong mas malupit noh? Hindi ko na napaglaban si Man of God ko!!!

That's why I need wisdom.

Based on experience, she said that she really talk to the guy and tell him na friend lang talaga ang  turing nya sa kanya. She also said na pinapagalitan nya din minsan. Saying... "You know maybe you're giving me something that belongs to someone else..maybe I'm not the girl for you "

She then told me about her MOG. She wants a prayer warrior! (gusto ko din to, hahaha) Anywa, our conversation ended. :)


1PM I served God through the ushering ministry. :) Kuya Jeric called me 'Yael" (hahaha, maybe because he read my testimony) and also he gave us "Fresh Berry" a snack from Korea. It's so delicious!!! I want more. I'll definitely buy a box when I go to Korea. In Jesus' name. Amen. :)

3PM I waited and reserved a seat for Angelo (my High school friend)  but he's so late. I end up giving the seat to Gabby and Myra. :)

5PM As team Admins in the up coming Lifebox PUP team building, Myra and I went to Calda Pizza for a meeting. That was really fun.Kasama namin ang mga Team leaders and the organizers.  Ngayon pa lang mainit na ang labanan! HAHAHA! I declare VIOLET team will win! Above all, I pray that we'll all have fun and enjoy. :) During the break out session (meaning , all girl/ admin meeting) I learned that being an Admin is a practice of submission. "Let them lead". "Let them lead".


7PM Lastly, Myra and I went back to the center to find Ate Yoko. She will also apply for Missions next year! And she shose Krygyzstan as well. If the Lord permits, we'll go together. It also came to me that perhaps we'll be needing 100 Thousand for that. Whoa. Si Lord na talaga ito. Nanliit ako bigla but then yeah,NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT? IF IT"S HIS WILL, IT"S HIS BILL!!

Daddy, 100,000 please? Thank you! :)

Day 3 and The rest

Day 3 

           During the third day of prayer and fasting, I failed to write anything! :( Hmm..what happened that day? I think I was so excited of course (because the next day, it'll be Jo's Victory Weekend)  but I think I get to pray for my friend's faith goals as well. I just realized na... gusto ko din ng mga faith goals nila? LOL. I mean, I also want it for them so I'm really expectant. Amazing future ahead of us all. Lalo na ang aking friend na si Gabby, gonna marry a Church-planter eh. #declaration ;)

The rest

I'm learning a lot really from simple happenings:

Praying

• Like when I prayed for a friend during the weekend. It's obvious that something's troubling her. She's not that "in-the-mood" so I was just happy when she asked me to pray for her. While praying, I realized that there's really a tendency to rely on myself than on the Holy Spirit. So always be reminded  na ang goal is not na manghula hula ka ng ipapagpray para ma meet mo yung ineexpect ng tao,  trying to perform blah blah para lang mabigyan ng justification yung title na "intercessor". Be truly led! 

Speaking in Tongues

• Pwede kang makiweekend. What I mean is. You can also be baptised with the Holy Spirit and have the manifestation kahit na hindi ikaw ang participant. Yep, my friend spoke in Tongues while ministering. Amazing. Hindi lang sa weekend mo sya pwedeng matanggap. ;) 

Ministering

• During the orientation for the ministry time, I re-learn loads of things too na pwedeng  i-apply as I make disciple: 

           -It's not about me, it's about the Word of God.

           -Affirm the truth in their lives and truth comes from the Bible (basa basa din ha?) 

           -John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." 

           -Hanapin ang root ng struggle. We need to uproot that! 

           -Identify the lie, then banggain ng truth (ooops but don't forget, speak the truth in love) 

Being a Friend

• Be a friend. Listen. Be there. A friend called me and she's crying due to  work problems and dilemmas. You know those times na talaga namang gusto mong iligtas yung friend mo from their heartaches and trials? I felt that.  I hope I could be wiser and just say the right words para lang may ma realize sya or something para maging ok na sya. Pero yun nga, at the end of the day, listen and be there. Above all, what we could do is point them to the One na may magagwa sa situation nila. To the One who loves them far more than we do. So there. Pray with them and for them. 

Family

• WE VALUE FAMILY. FAMILY SALVATION! Make disciples in  my family! Last Sunday was my brother's birthday! I gave him a shirt with the words "SALVATION IS FOUND IN CHRIST ALONE". I think he likes it kahit na medyo malaki sa kanya. Hehe. Anyway, the highlight was when I  prayed for him while we are biking! Imagine. Wala talagang pinipiling sitwasyon. :) I can just tell that God is at work in my brother. He longs for Him. Lalo na after watching the movie "God's not Dead". I really pray and come on, I DECLARE na MAGIGING MEN OF GOD ang mga kapatid ko! In Jesus' name! :) Now I'm planning to give him Ardy Roberto's Real Men are POGI. Next time, Bible naman. :) 

Leading

• For Daddy Talks, He  read my thoughts: siguro mas mag gro-grow sila kung iba yung leader nila..kasi ganito lang ako.blah blah blah..

Pero eto yung sagot Nya  in Matthew 14:15-18 :

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,”

Kahit gaano pa kaliit ang maibibigay ko asa leader, ibibigay ko muna kay Jesus yun then Sya na ang bahalang mag multiply. :) 

Random yet I really treasure these things :)

Disciple Ycah

After reading a lot of blogs on Discipleship, I was honestly inspired  to write my own  answer to the question "What do you remember most from the person who discipled you?"

I'll be forever grateful for the  four women whom God used for me to know Him more and to help me in walking in His ways. I love it that I could actually honor them through this post. Here they are:

Too bad I don't have a pic with Ate Cess right now. I'll try to find. :) 

1. Ana 

     She's my closest friend in college and she's the one who invited me in the Youth Service. Eventually, after her Victory Weekend,  she's also the one who did One 2 One with me. I was 18 and she was 17 I think back then. I didn't run away from her when we have to do it (unlike others, haha). We would actually do it in between classes or if we don't have a Professor. It's her first time to minister, and  so I'm privileged to be her First Born :) 

    I love it that I can just say anything to her, she knows me so much. If I don't have enough allowance, if I'm worried because I might never have a boyfriend, if I'm hungry, if I'm worried, if I have family problems and all. She simply understands me and she is so patient with me (tama ba?).  She loves to write letters and I'm still touched when I read them. Especially the one that she gave me during my Victory Weekend. :) She said that I will be a fisher of men! :)

    What I love more in our relationship is that I can just be a  little girl when I talk about my struggles to her. I can be not a Spiritual giant around. It's okay not to be okay and I'm always confident to tell her what's bothering me. I love her too much. I hope my girls (those that I'm discipling) would be like that to me too! :)  

   Discipleship is indeed a relationship. We've 'been through a lot together. :) 

I love you Anabells! :) Thank you!

2. Ate Cess

    She's the leader of my leader (Ana). She's the one who persistently invited  her in Youth Service (and I am the one who persistently stopped Ana to go - Oooops!). I learned a lot from her, in fact here's a list:

1.  Saving up for a Bible, that it is meant to be read and lived, that it is more important than jeans (hehe).

2. It's great to talk about God with others.

3.  To listen more to other Christian songs (she will let us listen to a song and then she will asked us about it)

4. Okay lang kahit sa damuhan mag VG. :)

5. Fasting 

6. Speaking in Tongues

7. Okay lang kahit hindi galing sa College mo yung dini disciple mo

8. Never give up. (She didn't gave up on my Ana right?) 

All in all, I could just remember  her sweet and comforting voice. hahaha. :) 

I miss you Ate Cess! We love you! :) 

3. Ma'am Lanie

      She's our Feature Writing professor and our NSTP director. Not knowing that she will be a Spiritual Mom to most of us. She so precious and she's actually the reason why Ana (my leader) made it to her first Youth Service. Here are some of the things that I learned from her (it became my convictions and I'm always reminded) : 

"Baba sa lupa."

"Don't give your heart to pigs."

"Don't forget campus ministry."

"We're on a battle."

"Hindi tayo palaging malakas."

To be beautiful inside and out. Mag ayos. :)

For more, here's my blog regarding of what I've learned in one Tuesday with her (isang Tuesday pa lang to ah) :  This Tuesday with Mom Lanie . Aside from that, there's so much more to learn  because of her book, "Seasons of the heart". 

I'm excited to learn more from her especially in the area of  Discipleship! :)

Thank you for everything Ma'am! :)

4. Ate Jovie

 She's my Victory Group Leader. She's a pretty Chinita. :)  She's such an inspiration to me too! Her heart for student is just so evident! She's the one who really inspired me to love praying! As in! She would always tell us how important  and how powerful it is. If not for her, I wouldn't fall in love with interceding for other people. Aside from that,  I'm also learning to have wisdom as I disciple and just like Ma'am Lanie (her leader) , na Mag ayos din. (hehe).  Thank you Ate Jovie! :) 

Please take one more look in the picture above. Notice those women that I'm with aside from Ma'am Lanie, Ate Jovie and Ana. They are Gabby, Reu, Bianca, Myra, Ate gladys, Dyna and Arlene. They are such a favor and blessings from Above too! I can never thank them enough for running the race with me. :)

I was honestly inspired not just to write my answer to the question "What do you remember most from the person who discipled you?" , but also to really go out there, text my girls and say "I love you" to them, to be a better leader and to just never give up on the ladies that I know Jesus died for and dearly loves. 

Thanks for reading!
