Last
week of June together with other two friends and facilitators, I led the
two-day CoH workshop in Cebu City for the group of partners of the NGO I used
to work with.
Like
virtually all the past workshops the Lord has done through us, participants
were all very blessed and encouraged to become a part of this advocacy at the
end of the day. New people were met and new friendships were built especially
with the two of the 35 plus attendees. One called me a son and she was
exhilarated and so blessed by the courage and boldness that God has given me
and shown to them while the other was truly touched by my honesty, being true
to myself as an HIV+ individual struggling with homosexuality. He even said
that he have never seen a “real” person down to his core before me. Above all,
the event has reminded these people that God is in control of everything for
His glory and honor.
Like
my prayer each time I have an opportunity like this, which is to testify to the
gospel of God’s grace, God’s name was praised and glorified at the end of the
day and that is the most important of all.
Looks
like this semester will be quite as busy as the previous one after almost a
month has passed since the first school day. Reading assignments in my Theology
class, which I honestly have found hard to comprehend, are beginning to file up
while project and other requirements on my other subjects are also starting to
eat most of my time however, I still finds joy in doing most of these. Still
worried or doubtful sometimes I must admit regarding my financial status
especially after this semester. But somehow have peace most of the time as I
pray and remind myself to trust Him more that the Lord has something, like a
surprise, for me soon.
Love
and peace of God goes to all the visitors and readers, especially those who are
touched and blessed by the story that He is writing on my life. Thank you and
praise Lord and shalom to everyone!
