Chill yooo. He is Enough.

During this ETNC preparation, I was truly blessed by the Lord through humility and growth. Although I was overwhelmed, stressed, uncomfortable, and anxious with the tasks I was given (Awake Fair, Workshops and Session 2), the Lord showed me that HE is MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Everything was all good with the preparations with the two committees, having meetings, making plans, deadlines, timelines, etc. until the Wednesday Night before conference.

That night, I had such a heavy heart and was so anxious that I could not think. Both Apple and Amee (counterparts for Awake fair and Workshops) were working hard and I felt so discouraged with the way I was performing because there was just too much for me to handle. My mind was everywhere. Session 2 was also being neglected since there were so many other responsibilities and things on my mind.

I had a short sigh of relief when we planned to go for confession and mass that Wednesday night. But then all the negative emotions came back because the priest that was there said they did not have both confessions or mass due to summer hours. My heart fell even more.

Frigg man. All I could do is pray.

I remember praying, “Lord, I need you. Lord take this all away. I put all these things in my heart at the foot of your cross.”

I was with Apple Lacbay and Julius Samaniego at the time since we were planning to work on awake fair stuff later that evening. A few minutes after that prayer, a NEW priest walked out of a room, which made Julius and I look at each other and without saying anything to each other we both knew that one of us should ask if the priest had time to go for confessions.

Julius initiated in asking the priest which resulted in him saying yes it taking the time to give Apple, Julius and myself the sacrament of reconciliation.

After the confession, my heart was renewed, refreshed, revitalized and uplifted by the Spirit. I was in awe on how the Lord provides and answers prayers. Siggghhhh… I was touched.

Then, the Lord made me realize something that would bring me peace. Since Julius has been available, present and very willing to help out with awake fair, the Lord spoke to me and directed my attention in seeing if Julius could take on the awake fair head role so that I would have more time to focus on Workshop Committee and Session 2.

Praise God for this revelation.

After talking to Apple, Tita Louie and Tito Noriel, Julius was appointed as awake fair head. And man oh man, the Lord is truly good! Apple and Julius did such an excellent job with awake fair before, during and after the conference that it brought peace to my heart. Jesus was truly exposed through the awake fair team because they showed the true meaning of service for God and doing it with love.

Looking back, I took on too much responsibility which caused so many draining emotions.

But, through all the moments of anxiety, worries, doubts, fears, discouragement, the message was simple. As long we continue to rely on Him, He is more than Enough.
