FROM GOD`s PEN
Love still on the air and only half of the year!!!
by chassy tesoro
As the month of June starts so does my annual depression pressed in. I have always feared the day people would remember my birthday. For a long time through the years I was accustomed to being alone with no one remembering my birthday, outwardly I wore a mask as if I don`t care. Even through the years in my service in SFC, I never learned my lesson. I thank the people who remembered and went on happy till the next birthday cometh.This year, a lot of people reminded me that each year is different and I must not dwell in the past. Feeling unworthy of any recognition this stubborn mind of mine went on feeling sad, worrying how could this be different this year, since I have just got in a new job, and payroll seems so far away still. Where can I get money to celebrate my birthday? Would anybody even care? Will they remember?

God never ceased to serenade me day after day. And filled my nights with HIS powerful hugs. But in my blindness I refused to see all of it, a state I am so sorry I even wasted a few days of. Little did I know how persistent God is at loving us, and making HIMSELF known in my life. In three episodes I saw HIS most wonderful love where I am humbled.

May 25, 2008 : Sword of Gideon CLP at Naval Base

Around forty army and navy men and women was forced to join the CLP through a memo by their higher officer. I was not there because of my job but my co service team related their resistance in joining that Saturday morning. I joined the team the next day and saw the wondrous love God has for us. Strong faceted men and women admitted their hunger for God, their guilt for turning away, their thanks for His love in tears. I was filled with awe...though tired through the week`s work I was recharged seeing this miracle not only in their lives but to mine as well.

June 08, 2008 : Disciple Weekend, Davao Central Auditorium

I was informed that I am part of the service team in charge of the Audio/Visual Presentation of the conference working together with Tita Brenda Milan. I hesitated at first unsure if it was really me they were asking to do such task. I feared that I was not equipped enough. That I was not fit to do such a task alone. Well, I was not alone at all, the event was a great success, God repeatedly assured me session after session. I was most inspired by Tita Brenda, and all the sharers in that conference. Truly God`s love infects deep.

June 10, 2008 : My birthday

At the start of the day at 12:01 am, I kept receiving text messages greeting me, just when I though they forgot about me. And the whole day was well provided for. Sobra ko talagang saya! Even only with chopsuey and BBQ, the day was so much filled with people God sent to share with me this special day. I worried for a long time but God provided for it all. In fact, there were even fruits, ice cream and cakes that added sweetness to the day. Before, with all of the things in my past, I wished I was never born, but then after this day, I wondered why I was so blind. I thought I would be crying at such blessings but it never came, instead my smiles could not be wiped off my face.

Events after that were never the same. All that I could see were HIS hand, His hugs, His love wrapped beautifully all the episodes not only in my life but with others as well. And I was so sorry for even spending one worrying minute. Years ago I dreaded this day.Through the tears and pain, thinking that is it all to life. But forgive me Lord, I am mostly wrong. I could not trade this for the world. Days that may be sad or happy should always be celebrated. Even failures, for it is in these times in our lives equally important makes living it greatly worthwhile.
