Fun with Leah & Ashley

Matt and I stayed with Leah & Ashley for almost two weeks during our LA trip. We had so much fun just spending time with them and doing things together. I have to say that Leah is my one and only coolest sister-in-law! And of course Ashley is my one and only "shaka" niece (in surfers' term it means "awesome")!

Thank you so much Leah & Ashley for having us and for all the fun times we had during those weeks. Thank you also for helping us out during our California Reception. You guys rock! We appreciate and love you both so much!

Disneyland

My first visit! It was such a memorable day for me and Matt. Our good friend Autumn flew down from Texas to give us a surprise visit at Disneyland! I loved it! It was such a wonderful reunion for all of us as we also got to spend the whole day with our other good friends (brother and sister) Chris and Joy! The whole gang! Can you believe that?! Now can you imagine the fun we had as a group?! LOL!! Chris and Joy's parents as well as their grandpa from their mom's side were there also. It was such a treat for all of us to be there. A dream come true for the crazy bunch! God is soo good!

Missions Connexion

Matt and I with mom went to Portland last January for a missions conference. The theme for the event was "Impacting Nations." There were a series of workshops for different areas in missions. We also had main services where we gather in the main auditorium.

It was a great trip and we enjoyed the conference a lot. There is soo much to learn! I was just absorbing like a sponge during the workshops. The most interesting subject for me was "Business in Missions."

Business is a ministry. Managers and businessmen are ministers in their field. Business can be used to support a ministry! Anyway, there are a lot more to be said on that but I will just stop there! Hahaha. God is good!

Down to LA!

Hi! Matt and I will be heading down to Los Angeles tomorrow! Yey! It's gonna be a long drive (13 hours) but it's gonna be fun! I have been in the US fr six weeks and been to three states! Not bad! LOL!! We went to Redding, CA last weekend to attend healing services at Bethel Church. It was awesome! It's soo wonderful to see the power of God move in different ways and in different parts of the world! God is good!

Anyway, we will be doing a reception at Torrance for family and supporters. This is my opportunity to meet them and share videos of our Davao wedding. The event will be on February 17th.. on our 1st anniversary! Yey! Can you believe it has already been a year?? Wow, time flies by soo fast indeed!.. Immediately and suddenly! I do believe that what's happening in the natural is a manifestation on what's happening in the spirit realm! Quick work, quick work.. immediately and suddenly.. KAIROS.. The door is open! We must enter in.. we have a responsibility..! Do not be left behind..

Well, we will post some pictures of our trip for sure. Matt and I will be hanging out with Chris and the gang at Disneyland! Soo.. pictures will surely be taken!

Unity in Diversity

I taught personalities class back in Spirit Life Bible College. We have our strengths and weaknesses. But I believe that when you allow the Holy Spirit to take over your life and let Him work in you.. there will be changes. Not by our own might but by the Spirit of the Lord. Paul puts it like this, "I know I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.." Philippians 4:13. And when we work together as one body in harmony as how God has called us and made us, then our differences are not so different after all! Also in our humility we serve one another and in our love (agape) we prefer others not seeking our own will but God's will as Jesus Himself said in John 5:30.. "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me." - Lindsay
