Yesterday was simply amazing and overwhelming! On Sunday morning, I was a speaker in one of the Kerygma Conference classes about social media and values education. I spoke to hundreds (or a thousand) individuals – youth, single, parents and even grandparents. God was so great to allow His message to be delivered! I was amazed by how He works!
In the afternoon Grand Feast, my mind was still whirling from too much happenings that day. There was excitement around and the vibe at the MOA Arena was just so great!And then iIt happened when I sat down during communion.
The Lord spoke to my heart that melted me so. He asked, “Ichel, what do you want?”
Those simple words lead me to tears. That my amazing Lord is asking me what I want, amidst all that He has given! I was so humbled and allowed myself to BE just in His overwhelming presence. And He asked again cause He said He wants to hear me say it. And we kept talking that very moment and I told Him the desires of my heart.
When One Walker (Jaya, Ogie and Regine Alcasid) powerfully performed, people around me stood up, shouted, and brought out their smartphones to record what was happening. I did not wrestle my neck to look at the stage anymore. I choose to look inward. I was seated and my little girl was comfortably cuddled with me and her pet (Dreamy), sound asleep. That moment, I chose to close my eyes. The great worship music and was just what I needed to aroused my soul and praise my Lord, while seated, eyes closed, crying, praying, mindfully and silently awed by His presence.
That moment, amidst the hyped up Arena, with my child on my lap, my son and husband beside me, with great music and Godly vibe around, that very moment is really an amazing Coming Home. I have with me my home. The Lord is home IN me. And He found His way to me. I know, affirmed, assured and amazed knowing that I am forever home with Jesus, my true home!
