Philippines Week #6
Saturday, March 8, 2014
Today I spent most of the Day with the Echavez’ family.
I tagged along with the Echavez’ family at SM Fairview.
It was nice being able to go around and run errands with Tita, to play with KC their grand-daughter, and to just talk with the family.
I think this made me miss my family even more.
It made me miss home.
There was this moment during the afternoon where I was just going around the SM Fairview Mall.
There was so many people.
As I peaked in each store and looked around
I can’t believe that I am actually in the Philippines
I noticed that there are times when
I am found in my own thoughts
And I become aware of where I really am
In the Philippines
By myself
Blessed
I sometimes I would tear because I still can’t believe that I am here
He placed me with a beautiful and selfless host family
He placed me in the North A Sector
It is not a coincidence that I am in North A (NA)
I am originally from (North America)
And my fellow FTPW trainee is in Central A, (CA)
He is originally from (California)
Ok, I know you’re thinking that this connection is far fetched…
I say it is perfect.
He places us exactly where we are suppose to be
There are a few times where I do question my anointing…
I feel that I am not good enough
That there are other people who are better than me and more capable
I am not worthy
But I was reminded once again that…
I will never be worthy anyways
It is He who makes me worthy
It is He who anoints
Sometimes its hard,
But I know God is strongest in me when I am most honest with myself
When I am honest with how I feel and with what I am going through
In the end,
I am called
To be where I am
Not because of my skills or abilities
But simply because
He knows me inside and out
Knows my every imperfection
But still calls me lovingly to be part of His mission.
Amen 🙂
“No matter how imperfect you are, Jesus still calls us to be a part of His the mission “
