As I mentioned in my previous blog the ministry opportunities are tremendous both in number and quality here in Quatro City in Manila Philippines. I decided to teach art class to pre-k, kinder and pre-1 classes, AWESOME. I was also blessed with my small group of Angels, ages 11-13. The last thing I chose to do was partake in the feedings in the tent cities, not sure what to expect but excited to serve physical needs and see what the Holy Spirit could do.
The days have come and gone and the people have won their way into my heart. The ministries that I chose to do this month were all things I figured I would be good at. Teaching… well I am golden there, pre teens… not so great but I have a ton of patience so I figured it would be great, and feeding people… that just takes a little effort. Little did I know that each of these things would change me forever.
I am personally going through an extremely intense time. The Lord is really wanting me to understand and start walking out my identity as a redeemed daughter. GREAT! Except it is way easier said than done. In order to do that I have to face the old me, which includes the good, the bad and the ugly. The old me includes my mistakes, my pains, my fears, everything. The new me has been encountered with God’s mercy and love and grace. The new me has been purified and made righteous through Jesus Christ. The new me walks in authority, changes atmospheres and carries God’s love with me everywhere I go. LOVE, such a scary thing to the old me but for the new me, it is the very key that will set me free.
As for the people here in the Philippines. Many are sick, many are hungry, many are in abusive situations but have nowhere to go, many are desperate for Hope. Many are starving for the very intimacy that I am learning to accept and am here to share. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will lead me to the people He wants me to meet while I am here. Pray for divine appointments. Pray for miracles. Pray for freedom for these people. Pray that God’s Kingdom will come here on Earth like it is in Heaven!!!
Check out my next blog to read about some of the Love Encounters I have been blessed with it will be up by Saturday.
Please pray for me that I can open my heart to God and all that He wants to do. I know that I am standing at the edge of what my future holds. I have HUGE dreams of glorifying God, but everything is in His perfect timing and completed and perfected in Him.
Also, You could do me a HUGE favor and email 3-5 friends the link to my blog… or sign them up yourself if you don’t think they would mind… God is doing great things and it would only be fair to Him to spread this blog so people can share in what God is doing!!! Thank you
Blessings
