The Story of Us

Yesterday, I really thought I wouldn't be able to go to church, much alone worship.

It's just how events work.  It's just the nature of the job.  You will always have to be on your toes.  Expect the unexpected.  Time and time again, we have to remind ourselves that we are also called to be excellent even in the workplace and that such excellence pleases an excellent God.

Saturday evening, I asked 2 good friends to pray with me so that I could attend the 5PM or at the very least, the 7PM service.  Yet I knew that up until the event dinner, I would have to be mobile so in between my tasks yesterday, I fought for some time with the LORD. Fortunately, there was a livestream of a 10AM service on http://www.victoryfort.tv/

I thought that was my closest call to getting my feeding for the day.

I went through my day and enjoyed working with my boss and colleagues.  I enjoyed meeting a couple from my hometown, Laguna.  I smiled when I was told to entertain VIPs.  I had to be on stage most of the time.  I had to assist a performer and call medics when his nose bled after his performance.  I surprisingly was asked to lead the prayer during dinner.  Yet these are things that I'm quick to say yes to because it's why you're there.  Make the most of it.  It's always an opportunity to bless and serve people.

During dinner, I got to finally chill with the working team.  You get to know more about each other.  You learn to laugh the night away.

I am very fortunate to be working in a good environment.  To be meeting new people and learning to serve alongside them. 

Oh and just in case you're wondering, I got to run off just in the nick of time for the 7PM service.  A little late for my own liking since I'm usually always early for Sunday services or any appointment, yet I know that I fought for things that matter.  I fought for my time with You and in return you honored my desire.  I guess that's what "The Story of US" will always be.  Me uttering silent prayers and You being a very generous God to answer.
