Dear Diary,

I enjoyed listening to our lesson today. I discovered more about autobiographical narratives such as diary, journal and memoir. In fact this is the first diary that I will write since I am not into writing but I do not have a choice. I have to accomplish this task that was given to us, although it may sound difficult for me because I have a struggle in expressing my thoughts through writing. Still, this is the best opportunity that I need in order to leave my comfort zone and improve my writing ability and discover the beauty of creating a diary

Dear Diary,

  Truly, there is joy in serving Jesus even though I am physically exhausted today, I managed to visit those children in different areas where we usually teach on every Saturday. Together with other Sunday school teachers/good news teachers we spend our time talking with our students and checking their status if they are in a good situation. After that we had a short devotion. In that devotion I realized how blessed I am despite the circumstances and difficulties I faced in the midst of my faithfulness to God. I learned that God will never leave me nor forsake, the only problem is me because I often lose my trust in him and forget that I have a living God who answers my prayers and provides my needs everyday. Afterwards, I rested using my violin and played with our music team. The message of the song comforted my broken soul when I heard the sound from our instruments. This day is a preparation for the Lord's day which is on Sunday

This day is the Lord's day, I was rebuked, reproved and exhorted today from the word of God. His message gives an encouraging word about standing in truth and the effects of compromising to the believers of Christ. That was a challenging message since I tend to agree in the system of this world not on His word, that is why I felt the guilt in my heart whenever I heard our Pastor preaching about how the world influenced people to live according to the principle of man not on the word of God anymore. At the end of the program I asked for forgiveness from God and committed my ways again to him. When I came home I could not fully express my gratitude after I received those messages that reminded me about living with Christ. At that moment I gave thanks to God that I was able to hear and attend in our church.

Today is a memorable moment that I will never forget because we participated in a seminar about the workers in the church. It was held at Grace Baptist Church Dasmarinas. I loved the flow of their program. Besides, the message challenged me to be more productive and active in the ministry that God entrusted me. When the program ends there are some young people who answer the call of God and move forward on the altar. As I saw them testifying how God spoke to their heart I was encouraged and challenged to be more faithful and seek the will of God in my life. When I came back to our home I did not have any regret that I engaged myself in this types of seminars since I learned to value the time because life is too short.

On this day we gather together to pray for one another, this is one of the greatest assets that every believer of Christ has. We shared our burdens and needs so that everyone may know and pray for it. Prayer makes my heart flutter whenever I talk alone with God. His presence calms the storm in my mind and gives me peace. When I heard the testimony of my brother and sister during our testimony and prayer request I was amazed how God works on different areas in our life. It proves that there is a provision of God in times of troubles, calamity and problems. Before I did not value the little things and small blessings that happened in my life but then now I learned to count my blessings and name them one by one.
