Four years in Awe

Happy 4th anniversary to me and Jesus!

September 29-30, 2012

That's the date of my Victory Weekend and that would always be my #bestweekendever.

'At the cross' and 'We are the reason' were playing in the background. I was crying so hard out of gratefulness for what He has done for me. Finally, I'm home in His love! There's no place I'd rather be! (Hindi ko ma contain yung pag-ibig na naramdaman at  nararamdaman ko! Chapter 3 would always be my favorite!) I received the gift of the Holy Spirit. The curse has been broken.  I let go of the past and  of everything that's holding me. I was forgiven and I got the grace to forgive. Sobbed, worshiped and publicly declared,
"Everyone, I'm now a follower of Jesus!"

I remember, kahit pag-uwi ko at nasa puregold ako. Parang lumulutang yung feeling sa pagka in awe. Never felt so loved! As in, as in, AS IN!!!!!

My prayer back then was to never be familiar with what He has done and never take it for granted. I'm amazed that after 4 years, the awe is still there and even increasing to the nth power because of the joy of discipleship (helping women to realize their First Love!)! Never thought that I could have this kind of purpose. Never thought that I could lead in anyway. Never thought that this kind of life is possible!

Heavenly Father,

Thank You so much  for letting me be in awe. Thank You for giving Your Son Jesus for me, for my family, my friends and yet-to-be friends. Thank You for the Holy Spirit! Thank You for my sycamore trees (the people that You used for me to know You).  I'll be forever grateful and in awe of Your love. The unfathomable, the unconditional, the unending kind of love. Payakap, Dad! Happy fourth anniversary! In Jesus' Name. Amen. 

                                                                                                    Your princess in awe, 
                                                                                                               Ycah

falling in love loving women falling in love with Him



She's so simple, so pretty. 
She smiles but it's empty. 
She needs a hug, a company. 
She needs strength, love, security, joy,  identity. 

She needs Jesus really. 

I've been longing to share Him to her. 
What-a-life it would be for her.
 I know He's the only solution
          to all her pain and  confusion. 
I'm excited for what she'll become!
Yes, a  woman after God's heart will come. 


She's broken and breaking within 
Got to be with her again and listen 
Come on Holy Spirit! 
Let's encourage her and pray! 

Just when I thought it's all over,
She read out a reviewer 
A  door was suddenly opened
I just find myself sharing the Gospel!

Heaven rejoices as she accepted
Our Lord Jesus Christ and His blood shed
I declare peace and wholeness for her heart 
I'm sure though that His love will never part


She' s so simple, so pretty
She smiles and  it's not empty 
She got a hug, a company
She found strength, love, security, joy, identity 

Jesus' all she needs really

What-a-privilege, what-a-joy to be used by Him 
 I'm falling in love loving women and may they all fall in love with Him.
