Starting my mission.

God makes things possible - so true indeed!

I am just another girl in the block who is finding how and where to use my skills and talents. I am a Mass Communication graduate major in Broadcasting. I love to write and public speaking is chicken to me. Boasting aside, it is not really hard for me to stand up in front of the crowd and speak the things that pops into my mind. That's why I chose my finished coursed. :)

Two weeks ago, I attended a two days and one night retreat entitled Encounter God Retreat (EGR) made possible by Christ People Christian Church (CPCC). I can't discuss further the things and the activities we did during the encounter since we are not allowed to do so; but after the retreat, I am so blessed. I have encountered the Lord in the least expected moments of my life and I feel over-joyed. 

(Actually, I had made a blog regarding my encounter you can read it here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150184741489199 )

After a week since the activity, I was asked by my facilitator to make a two to three minutes testimony of how the EGR affected my life. At first I was worried and unsure if I will do it or not. Speaking in front of the people is not a problem to me but I am afraid that my words won't convince them to join the next EGR.

But our Lord God Almighty is so good that He helped me to make a simple, precise and clear testimony that will bless all the people who can hear it.

I made a testimony using famous commercial tag lines and it made a recall to the people who have heard the message. I used our vernacular language which is Filipino. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to write everything down! What I have in hand while speaking are the list of commercial tag lines that I will reflect on. 

But I will try to write it down so I can share how God blessed me.

God let me spoke to the people as if I have created my testimony days before the talk, God gave me strength and courage to share to all the people what God has created in me and the feeling after the talk was indescribable. I wasn't able to hear the applause of the people, what I am hearing as I walk down the stage is God's voice telling me that this is the reason why I gave you those talents that you have my dear. I will use you , your creativity in writing and speaking, so that you can glorify me! 

I seated in my chair thinking, my heart pounding and everything seems to be so quiet. As I said to myself, If this is Your plan for me Lord, Your will be done!

I am not special. I know I am not. I am just another girl in the neighborhood whose faith is struggling just like you. Today, as I publish this blog, my mission have just begun and I want to offer everything that I can write to the one and only God that gave me the talents that I am sharing and that I will share with you.

This is the beginning Lord, and Your will be done! I know with Your grace, nothing is impossible.
