last night was our first small group and it was held at bro. Jep's place.. its been such a long time since we had our small group by area.. i was still in grade 5 when we were having our groupings every Friday nights.. at sympre, pag lipas ng panahon.. I'm now 23! 8 years had passed and here we are again.. sympre, with the new batch of YP :p how lovely isnt it?
here are some of the photoshoot we took.. too bad we hadnt taken a group picture.. :( pero try namin bumawi next week.. eek.
the food.. yum.. sayang at di namin nakuhanan ang totoong food.. what you see is just a portion of what we have eaten.. di pa lumalabas ang main dish.. (hehe) These are the product of bro. Jep's loving heart.. imagine, pinagluto nya kami.. at sya lang nag prepare nyan.. (how touching.. and I really appreciated all his efforts--> ang hirap kaya ng ginawa nya.. sya lang ang nagasikaso sa amin lahat.. 1 is to 9 kaya.. kaya nga I'm so proud of him.. hehehehe) He's really amazing... His love for the Lord and the saints is really something.. and how I wish the Lord would broaden me more, so that I can shepherd others like the way bro Jep shepherds His sheep. :p Splendid church life --> ow yeah!
Si Milton.. la lang..
James and Dran.. para silang magkagalit noh? yucky ba ang umupo sa gitna? ...
ang tatlong maria.. such a small world... and their names.. love it! Rica, Riza and Nica.. cool diba? Rica is the cousin of Riza and the friend of Nica.. hehe..
Ton and James.. bonding time while eating ice cream...
hay.. ang makpatid, magkapatid talaga.. di nila pinagusapan yan ah.. :) how nice.. go butz! malayo pa ang mararating mo!
hay.. parang kelan lang e.. nagtatakbuhan pa tayo.. walang kamatayang habulan, jack en poy, tampuhan.. bangayan(di naman.. oA na to..), pero ilang taon lang eh.. e mga dalaga na tayo.. (eeew!) Was really happy to see Jeanna coming over to join our small group.. nung pagkakita ko palang sa kanya on her way up the stairs was really such an encouragement to me nah.. she was the one who took care of me when i was a newbie in the church.. naaalala ko pa... 12 years ago.. pinupuntahan pa nya ako sa bahay para lang magbasa ng isang chapter ng bible.. that was her :) she was not only a friend to me, but my sister, and my companion.. May the Lord preserve us both in the church life together with the saints forever! oist! Next week ulit!
wow.. career ba yan? :)
at shempre di magpapahuli ang aking magaling na kapatid.. nice one.. kakain lang ng ice cream eh, naka pose pa.. hay..
too bad we dont have a pic of bro Jep.. :( that's how busy he has been serving us... running to and fro just to attend to our "NEEDS" --> this is God's shepherding..
and for the finale' : What we enjoyed :
God has passed through so many processes just to be our Life.. We must therefore learn how to abide in the Lord to enjoy His life. So many times, we try to act different, try to do good because we are "christians" and that we should be acting like one.. but we have God's life in us, and that this life will be the One to regulate us in our being... no more those "trying tos" but the Lord's working in us.. The Lord is the vine and we are the many branches.. we need to abide in Him and He in us.. as we let His life flow into us and as we enjoy it, may we also let it flow to others..
Life is God the Father in Christ Jesus as the Spirit flowing into us...
