Okay, since this is my first blog entry in this site, i'm gonna make it as good as possible. hahaha. I can't think of a better strory to tell than this one (i'm gonna try to write it in "pure english" so please bear with me, mwahahahahaha). This strory is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. (so help me God)

August 27, 2006 was the day, no classes (thanks to our beloved president, MABUHAY KA GLORIA!) to give way for the celebration of the National Heroes Day (although i think nobody really did celebrate it, how sad). The night before, Kuya Allen and I decided to celebrate his success in retaking the nursing board exam (due to the leakage issue) by evangelizing to "lost souls" (hahaha). I quikly suggested that we visit the malls and start preaching the word of God there.

What's more exciting about this plan was that Kuya Allen and I admitted that we're still afraid and not that bold in preaching God's Word, especially on a place like a mall!! We don't have anything except God's promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us. So, knowing and believing God's Word, we swallowed our fears and doubts and just obeyed. Hallelujah! this is so exciting!

After praying,we took off to "take the plunge". After all, what's the worse that could happen? I admit that I was a little bit discouraged at first, with the first few people that we talked to and tried to convince. The first person I talked to was so unresponsive, even to a question answerable by nothing but "yes or no". But we did not lose heart, not to mention that we were rejected twice.

We met different kinds of people, with different ideas and with the Power of the Holy Spirit at work, we told them about God's Love (Hallelujah, this is so exciting!). The longer we stay in the mall to evangelize, the braver and more courageous we became, we started to feel very very confident because God is with us and believe it or not, we don't wanna stop. The best part was talking to young people like us, youths. It was really exciting because we can relate to them. We invited all of them to our church and prayed for them (not minding all the people staring at us). We left the mall at 5pm and our hearts are overflowing with joy and a sense of victory. It's as if our spirits our saying (where's your power now, spirit of shame?!) God really is fatihful to his promise 'cause the mission was a success.

I've learned a lot that day. I learned that God will use you and train you where you are weak because His Strength is made perfect in our weakness. As we speak with the people, i can't help but laugh deep inside, being amazed of what's happening, how we are able to do this. By ourselves, we couldn't have done that, no! no! no! But the power of God is just too Great. To Him be all the Glory

(never again will i attempt to write a blog in pure english, hahaha, at least not for now)
