It seems like ages since anything has been posted here. Except for Kuya Art's report of the SMMR (which he posted on the nymm egroup), nothing seems to be happening. But I believe something soon will.
As ramadan comes to a close next week, my own fast also ends. I've done this before but not this long and this intense. I have some pretty heavy personal and ministry concerns that I can't pray about in the usual way. At the top of my list are some unsaved loved ones.
So far, God has been showing me my own spiritual hardheartedness. Even if I do most of the talking, I am doing more listening, too.
Hirap palang mag-fast. Hindi ka lang nagdidisiplina sa sarili na huwag kumain, pati yung puso mo binubulatlat! (Sorry, I didn't know how to express myself in English] But I really believe it's the right time for me to do this. Before I expect God to move in a mighty way, He waits for me to make time for Him.
For an update, Eman will soon work in Qatar as a tentmaker. The other Filipino delegate to SMMR is studying at ATS and wants to meet with the NYMM core team sometime when her schedule permits. I also met another young missions mobilizer who coordinates short-term mission trips for youth.
God is truly making things fall into place. May He bring the core team together soon.
