superWOMAN meets SUPERLORD!

Life, if you will call it such before being a Reloader was just simply going through the motions of living. Being a product of a broken family, I grew up held in the bondage of hatred, of angst and of pain. I tend to question God's existence and justice and would often blame Him for all the misfortunes that my family experienced. All the painful things I have been through, I went through it all with HUMAN EFFORT and NO DIVINE INTERVENTION. That went on until I have to leave our province to pursue my college education here in Davao. I have been very attached to school because of my extra curricular commitments that all the more I could not find time to have a personal relationship with the Father. I felt like I was SUPERWOMAN who can carry all the emotional baggages and still come flying if others need a hand.
After graduation, when all my extra curricular activities were drastically gone that is the time when I realized how I was so exhausted and I came asking, is there more to life than this? The answer took me by surprise that I could not say no for an opportunity to take my life into a 180 degrees turn. I said yes to an Open Cell and Youth Reload invitation and I just cannot say enough. I wanted more of Him, that is why I joined the Encounter God Retreat and that is the time when I've said SUPERWOMAN meets SUPERLORD.
As I face the world as a new believer, I can say that the year that was since my encounter has been a rollercoaster ride. I became a cell leader and became very active in organizing and hosting Youth Reload events. I enjoyed serving the Lord and leading people back to Him but there was really a time when I'm confronted with the idea of giving up because of persecutions, indifference and self-absorbed battles. My cell was closed and I started missing school of leaders classes and started drifiting back to my ugly past once more. It was a good thing that my fellow eagurls especially my bateleur family did not gave up on me, they were the glue that allowed me to stick to the one person that is holding my life - Jesus Christ.
After that victory, I resolved that giving up is not a solution whenever I felt tired and weary. I continued on the process until I graduated with the School of Leaders 3. I can finally feel that this eagurl is growing some mature feathers when I became a spiritual guide to my girls and started molding them into Christ-likedness. Now, I'm on my way of completeing my twelve. My desire is to win the multitudes for Jesus and that includes my family and friends.
As what Pastor Lagat says, "mao pa ni pero dili pa ni mao", I know that this is but the start of a long, winding journey with the Lord but I will not falter (never again) because with Him I can always be that scared little daughter behind the facade of a superwoman.
