Anniversary Blast!!!

We had a blast in our church anniversary yesterday. The heavy rain woke us up and immediately I said ..”oh Lord..thank you for the rain of blessings upon us”. I also thought few people would come because of the rain but I was wrong. It was more than we expected. It was nice to see familiar faces, as I have said it was two years ago when we last did this kind of celebration.

And the special numbers each outreach prepared is also very very entertaining And encouraging. A group of women interpreted a song. It was a delight to see a family performing for the Lord. The father singing, daughter on the bass guitar, son on the drums and another son on guitar. It was lovely!!

Everybody went home happy, encouraged and blessed. Praise God for another year, Praise God for the smooth flow of the program and despite the heavy rain we thank God that no one got sick, no one needed an allergy relief medicine and or no one was hurt.

Looking forward to seeing them all again next year!

P.S. Will post pictures later.

Church Anniversary

tomorrow! and everyone is excited.. it's our church 27th founding year and we are all grateful for HIS faithfulness and goodness in each year. And plus it's been three years since we had anniversary celebration that includes all the outreaches from the provinces. So tomorrow we are expecting a lot of people to come and celebrate with us.

Hubby made us (the worship team) special t-shirts to wear with tuxedo pants? I guess no, no one wears that in celebration like this. The husband also designed the tarpaulin that will be used as backdrop for the stage. He did a good job there. I am so proud of him!

Hope you too will have a nice day at your church tomorrow!!
God bless you!!!

Thankful Thursday - HAPPY KIDS

Welcome to Thankful Thursday and for the month of JUNE, Iris of Grace Alone is hosting.

Last Saturday was our "Back to school : Hygiene Day":  we taught them basic hygiene, we bathe them , cleaned their ears, clipped their nails, gave them free haircut and fed them. before going home, we gave them some stuff they can use at home (toothpaste, bath soap, toothbrush, face towel, and some school supplies)

I thank the Lord for the people who supported this ministry. may the Lord bless your heart with joy and peace forever :) here are the pictures of the happy kids. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!

HIS PLANS

I just need to remind my self.........

nothing found

This is funny, when I tried looking up for diet pills that work in my browser, it says nothing found for diet pills that work. I think it is true in some sense. Because for a diet pill to work you have to work too. I've tried a lot of pills when I was still single and younger and I won't recommend it to anyone unless you have consulted a doctor. I remember a diet pill (which is the biggest diet pill I've ever seen) I took few years ago, it didn't work and worst my life was put to danger. One day I found my self having hard time breathing and there was a pain in my chest. I got so worried and I stopped it.

Best thing to do if I want to lose weight? exercise and eat right. And the best of all have self discipline.

Go..do it Raquel!!!

Printing t-shirts and some tasks

Happy Monday everyone!!

I hope I started the day early but I am forgiving myself because we slept real late last night. I wanted to start the day early and my week early because we have lots of things to do. My husband especially is super busy with his silk screen printing and with that I am planning to do the Business Name registration this week. We wanted to do it right and we wanted to issue official receipts to our clients and we don’t want to be called fly by night supplier even if it is just small. Worst I don’t want someone calling as scam like the apidexin scam issues spreading over the net.

So, we have to register it and I want to do it the soonest possible time. Church anniversary is on Sunday and we have tasks to finish, the husband is in charge with the stage backdrop and of course the worship team. He has yet to finish the shirts the Sunday Schoolers are wearing on that day too.

May god give us all the strength we need.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

"God is Faithful"

This was the preachers' topic this morning. And you may say that "oh yeah..it is usually a common topic among preachers just like how common we talked about weight-loss products" but I tell you it is entirely different when you hear it from someone who had to give up a good,decent and stable life just to follow the Lord.

Our speaker this morning is one of the first missionaries our church have sent to foreign missions. He was a Doctor and he earns a lot here during that time but when he obeyed, he gave it all up and followed the Lord in a foreign land where he didn't know anyone, a place where he did not know if he can still provide well for his family.But God honored his decision and HE is indeed faithful.

Somehow I feel it is hard to obey God when you have to give up something big in your life like career but God is bigger than anything in this world right?

I think God has been talking to me through out the whole service and I pray that I will get to listen to His voice, obey Him and choose Him for He is faithful.

Good night everyone!

I was supposed to upload the hygiene pictures today but our internet connection is acting up. It is a lot slower than usual and opening a website takes longer than it normally does. I didn’t dare tried uploading at facebook because I know I won’t finish it. Hopefully I’ll get it done by tomorrow. For the mean time I am gonna rest now because I’ve been working since morning and tomorrow is Sunday. I have to remind my self again that Sunday Worship begins Saturday night. So off to bed  I’ll go now folks but not right after reading about this cheap insurance quotes.

Hope you all go to church tomorrow and enjoy worshiping the Lord with your church family, but in case you can't, enjoy GOD's presence whatever you will be doing.

God bless!!

Tired but Joyful

God is so good!!

Today was our hygiene day, our day started earlier than usual.I was up before 8 AM and was already at the center at around 8:20 AM.

The event went well, we have 49 kids in the morning and 42 kids in the afternoon. It is sad though that one area didn't make it so all in all we 91 kids served. We bathed them, we treated them with lice shampoo and please don't ask me how many head lice we were able to remove because it's too many. Good thing I was able to buy a good hair lice treatment shampoo in this pharmacy I'll if they have the best hair loss shampoo too. We cleaned their wounds, their earls and clipped their ears. We even bought a pair of slipper to a kid who came there without slipper.

The kids were happy after all the things we've done to them. They looked all beautiful and nice with their new haircut and with their new hygiene kit :)

It was tiring but it was worth it.

Again, thank you for all those who supported us. May the Lord bless you a hundred fold.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Pictures to follow :)

Hygiene Day tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is the big event for our kids ministry, “back to school-hygiene day” is happening tomorrow and for sure volunteers will be needing the best wrinkle cream after, hehe. Dealing with hundreds of kids is no joke.

But of course, I know that as we serve these kids we are doing it also for the Lord, in return God will give us JOY that is embedded deed within. Joy that can not be bought and if you are joyful you will not be needing any creams at all to make you feel and look young.

Please pray that this ministry will be instrumental for the kid’s family to come to know Jesus Christ.

Intercede for us please. We need it.
