Hi dear readers!
I hope you've had a wonderful February. Yes, I know. When we talk about February, we often lead to Valentine’s Day. Yes, for a single woman like me, Valentine’s Day is a cheesy holiday. But the love month has been a busy month for me. Let me share with you my February Praise Report.
1. Volunteer Orientation and Duty (Ushering and Kids Ministry)
So grateful to God that I was able to passed the interview and land in my favorite Ministry – Kids Ministry. Actually I was part of the Preschool Production Team (Praise and Worship Dancer) since 2009 however I left the team second quarter of 2011 when I heeded the call of my heart. It was a difficult decision. I tried to join again January 2014 but I didn't pass the interview. I got depressed but God told me to wait for His timing. On the other hand, I tried joining also Ushering Ministry since God revealed to me my spiritual gifts and in what areas I can use it. God reminded me that He gave us all spiritual gifts to be a blessing to others. So glad that joining the Ushering Ministry went so smooth.
As of to date, I am volunteering in Kids Church as a Classroom Teacher and Praise and Worship Dancer every 2nd Sunday of the month, 6pm and 8pm class. In Ushering Ministry, I still need to observe two more Sundays and they will give me my definite Sunday schedule.

2. Tumblr Message and Asks
OMG! I fell in a swoon on the floor when I read my Tumblr. This was truly a work of God's sublime grace. I received a lovely message from Cleverness-Tea. And I also received 2 questions. See photos below to check my answers to their queries.

3. Movie Date at Resort’s World Manila
Since I am single, I shouldn't be lonely on Valentine’s Day. I went for a movie date with my best friend and office mate, Janice, and her sister, Tin. It was our first time to watch a movie at Resort’s World Manila. It was my third time to visit Resort’s World Manila but I haven’t tried watching in their cinemas. Janice, on the other hand, was a newbie in Resort’s World Manila. It was her first time. It has been a while since we go out together and have fun. I am so happy that I made her happy.

4. HaRUNa: A Tribute to APO Hiking Society 2015
Valentine’s Day was a blessing and a gift from God. HaRUNa was a post Valentine’s Day date for me and for my running mate, my sister. This day was really a blessing! I was chosen by Paolo Paraiso to join him on stage. And since he was serenading us, we need to think of a unique way to accept Paolo's rose. And through my God-given talent in dancing, Paolo and Sir Bearwin Meily find me funny. They gave me a bag of Walter Bread. On the latter part of the program, my name was chosen in the raffle to win Hanford goodies. Hahahaha! I had so much fun. It was a day full of blessings from God. Thank you Lord Jesus!

5. ASAP 20th Anniversary Tickets
God stretched out His hand to bless me though I didn't deserve it. I won in our company raffle. I was not really interested in joining but my sister asked me if I could get tickets for the said show. I joined for my sister and to my surprise, I won. So flabbergasted!

6. God said…
I just seem to be lost in a sea of chaos at the moment (but the good kind of chaos, the best kind of chaos). How would you feel when God said something to you and you don’t understand it? You will keep on asking Him, right? Up until now, I still ask God why He said that to me. My small group gathered again to study the Word, seek God and catch up. We had an activity which we need to activate our Spiritual gifts.
And while we were in silence, we all started to speak in tongue and then I saw God’s message for me. BEAUTIFUL. I asked God what He meant to say. He said, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. I wrote it down on a paper and share it with the group. The last exercise was we will ask God His message for the person next to us. And when the activity ended, Cathy, one of my prayer partners who seated next to me handed a piece of paper with God’s message for me. It’s a confirmation of what He said to me. I was in awe!
Until today, I don’t know why God said to me that. I do not have any problems with myself now. Yes, I look down on myself so much but not recently. Hmmm… I am still asking God regarding His message.

7. EA Gang Reunion and Astrid’s Birthday
My February ended with full of surprises. My best friends (EA Gang) set a meet up with me for Astrid’s Birthday and for us also to catch up. I didn’t know that I they also have an announcement to make. One of my best friends will tie the knot next year and I am part of their wedding entourage. For the first time in who knows how long, I am really, really proud of us. We are really grown up now. It also means I need to shed weights now for the wedding. Hahaha! J I don’t want her to spend more money of my entourage gown than the others. And another announcement, my other best friend is pregnant! Whew! So much feels! Announcement of wedding and pregnancy! Thank you Jesus that you build our friendship that we managed to stick together for 10 years now.

So that’s it! Hooray! Here's to the coming month, may it be filled with many more days of friends, confidence, and of course, more of God’s truth and revelations. (●´ω'●)
